Why NO Axis?

I would love to run a German-based campaign in the future, but for the ease of introducing everyone to my style, and the game system itself, I wanted to start with something a little easier to manage. The Allies provide a much easier scope to operate it. They were not the 'reactive' force for the last and most active part of the war, they were the one producing most of the offensive options to give the players. That being said, I HAVE NO ISSUE ALTERING HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT OCCUR IN OUR TIMELINE for the benefit of our story. I am willing to entertain reasonable player characters, but keep in mind that you are all starting as equals, raw recruits, not seasoned veterans.
