NoP NES: The Great Game
Setting
The world, 1880 C.E., the scramble for Africa begins, while across the world ancient civilizations are slowing becoming incorporated into new empires. In Asia, the French are setting their sites on Indo-China, while Britain and Russia battle it out in the Great Game, the competition for influence in central Asia. In Europe, the Alliance between the freshly unified German state and the old Hapsburg Empire threaten Russian interests in the Baltic, where the Ottoman Empire tries to hold it's grasp on it's remaining lands. France lost the Alsace-Lorraine in the Franco-Prussian war to Germany. Italy also unified itself, and is eager to find a place for itself in the alliances of Europe. In South America the War of the Pacific is raging, while the USA just finished reconstruction, and currently is an economic powerhouse. The second industrial revolution is underway throughout the Western Hemisphere and Europe, while small nations in the East and Africa need to modernize or be dominated.
Introduction
I am sure many of you are familiar of my former attempts at NESes. However I realized that the NESes which I almost only join (historical NESes from 1700-1950s), happen to be the ones I never make. So, to remedy that, here is an NES from one of my favorite times of history. I WILL try and be far more prompt with the updates, and should be better able to do so this year than former years, particularly cause I love writing stories, and this era has plenty. So, pretty much, as long as I get orders from most of the major players (UK, France, Germany, Russia, USA (might change as time goes on)) I WILL update. Also do to my affection to this time period and familiarity with it, I WILL spur on events if there is any slum (USS Maine, anyone?), however lets hope that their will be no need.
The name, as referenced in the opening, is a reference to the competition between Russia and Britain for central Asia. This sort of conflict typifies the conflicts going on across the world at the time.
