Introduction
Hinge of Fate (HOF) is the title for my global WW2 scenario for C3C. The name
comesfrom the title of one of the five volumes of Winston Churchill's war
memoirs. That volume dealt with the events of the years 1942-43, including
the decisive battles of Midway, El Alemain and Stalingrad.
It uses El Menecy's 362 by 325 world map with the bottom 10 rows cropped off.
Turns represent 2 weeks in real time. The short game is 40 turns long,
which covers the period from Dec., 7, 1941 until April, 1943. The long game
is 100 turns and covers the entire conflict period. The civilizations are:
1. Japan
2. Russia
3. Germany
4. China
5. Minor Allies
6. Commonwealth
7. Minor Axis
8. USA
The Minor Allies, led by De Gaulle of the Free French include Free French
territories, Brazil and the Dutch East Indies. I took a few liberties with
history here, Brazil did not actually declare war until August, 1942.
The Minor Axis, led by Mussolini of the Italians includes Vichy French
territories, Finland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
The political situation:
Locked alliance #1 (USA, China, Commonwealth and Minor Allies) at war with
alliance 2 and 4.
Locked alliance #2 (Germany and Minor Axis) at war with alliance 1 and 3.
Locked alliance #3 (Russia) at war with alliance 2.
Locked alliance #4 (Japan) at war with alliance 1.
