Picture a world in which Stalins purges of Red Army officers had continued into the 40s, and where the Japanese Empire had not attacked America at Pearl Harbor, not drawing us into the war.
Stalin continued his purges in the face of Hitlers invasion, and killed officers crucial to his counterattack. He lost half his army in the ensuing bloodbath, and the Germans drove straight to the Urals, where they made peace with a puppet government they founded in Gorky. Thus freed up in the East, the Germans turned and crushed Britain at a stroke in the Second Battle of Britain. Goering concentrated on the British airfields and radar stations, instead of the cities, and Britain fell. Again, the Germans set up a puppet state, this time in Scotland and Ireland, and occupied the southern half of the country. Meanwhile, without American support, the British and Free French forces in North Africa had collapsed. Germany had achieved hegemony over Europe, North Africa, and Russia, and was free to concentrate on the creation of Hitlers Festung Europa.
Japan never attacked America at Pearl Harbor in 1941, and they had since run unopposed through Asia and the Pacific. They annexed all of Indonesia and Indochina quickly, while the governments of the Netherlands and France were being crushed by Germany. They conquered China, setting up a puppet state in what remained in the west. Then, in a move to gain control over the rest of SE Asia, they invaded British India. The Imperial Japanese Army blitzed through Burma, but was stopped along a fortress line the English had spent years secretly constructing. Now, in 1946, the only hope of the free world lies with America, whom the Allies have convinced to go to war against Germany and Japan. The U.S. is more prepared than it would have been in 1941, but it now stands virtually alone. It joined with Canada to form the United Provinces of North America when it became apparent that the Axis powers were winning on the other side of the world, so it has more industrial might than a Germany in control of devastated Russia or a Japan controlling rural China. The Free British Commonwealth is praying that America can get troops to India and Australia before they fall, the French that recently arrived American troops in Liberia can stop a German assault and drive them from Africa. Perhaps most important is the question of whether the countries of Southern Europe will side with the Axis or the Allies.
Credit goes to GSG9, whose NaziWorld 1945 scenario this ones map is based on
Easy Play: U.P.N.A., Third Reich, Japanese Empire
Harder: Independent British Commonwealth, Gorky Russia
Challenging: Free France, Italy, Brazil
Impossible: China, Persian States, Turkey/Arabia, Spain/Portugal, South America, , Argentina/Chile, North Britain
Note: I havent play tested this higher than chieftain level, or with any countries other than Germany, Japan, the U.P.N.A., or Britain. I would appreciate it if someone who is actually good at this game would play it at a higher level, say monarch or so, and give me an idea of how accurate my ratings are (I cant actually play this game worth a D*mn)
Please comment, but don't bother with geography, I didn't design the map, and plan to find a new world map, probably larger, to make an improved version.
