My brother, a Marine captain, introduced me to a variation that I like a
lot.  After the attacker finishes his phase, he is allowed to move any number
of armies from any number of countries to any number of countries (here's
the catch, though) but at no point are you allowed to have more than 12
armies on a country, even during transit.  Also, when moving distances
further than one country, you must have an unbroken line of "communication"
which is under your control (i.e. you can't get from Western U.S. to
Kamchatka unless you control Alaska, Alberta(?)...).

The second change is that the first person handing in cards gets 12 armies,
but it only goes up in intervals of 2 thereafter.  I can't remember if he
imposed a limit thought because we usually didn't get that high.
