Usually one plays both Axis and Allied.
One player starts as Axis, play his turn and send the saved file to the other, the other plays as Allied, and send the file back.The other do the same, starts as Axis etc. That way both can play as Axis/Allied.
However: If you like to play only as Axis, thats ok for me. I suggest all buttons lighted, ecxept for the one for "max nr units". (At work now, dont remember the exact name)
