Hi folks,

I am working myself on a new scenario, which is indeed AoI II. I was allowed to do this by El J. I am very thankful about his help. The scenario begins about where AoI I stopped and lasts until the early days of the Cold War, so 1923-1953.
As background story: Up to Operation Michael all is like in history. But then in 1918 the Germans can capture Paris before the US can intervene. However as it becomes obvious that the US and Britain still want to continue the fight and Germany is exhausted, a peace treaty is made, which is accepted by the other parties of the war, as they are exhausted as well, and not knowing how far their strengths is able to crush the Germans. The peace treaty comes to a stzatus quo ante. Only the Soviets lost Poland, the Baltic states and Finland (indeed are Finland and the Baltic states parts of Scandinavia in game).
The US, who just entered a war which is now over, become more self isolating. Britain is able to make a Fleet treaty with the other powers. Britain and the US get a pari with a tonnage quote of 5, Japan 3, France, Italy and Austria 1,75, Germany 4, as wanting more ships than Japan, with the argumentation they had to defend coasts on 3 Oceans Japan only 1. The original German proposal was 8:5 for Britain. Japan is so now not very well to speak about any European nation.
That is roughly the history. So you won't be able to build more capital ships at the beginning. You have to live with the ones you have. Also raw materials play a more important role as they already did in AoI. And that's not all. So stay tuned. Whoever wants to become a beta tester shall post here in this thread. But I have to say that there is a certain ammount of beta testers only. If you want to help me with some other things, like the wikipedia or new units, it is another thing though.
So let me know and stay tuned.
