Look Out, Sir! (Map Game)

North Africa
The year is 1943. Italy's unreadiness to fight in the Second World War contributed to the down fall of Hitler. Not in this timeline. Italy had taken the Balkans and North Africa without German assistance. The horrible Italian defeats in Egypt and Libya in our time never occurred. The small British forces in Egypt were destroyed by the Italian Army, and so was the Balkan's resistance. However, British forces in other parts of North Africa continue to fight on.

Soviet Union
This leads to Germany not having to divert it's forces to North Africa or the Balkans, conserving time and troops for Operation: Barbarossa. This has lead to an earlier invasion of the Soviet Union, giving the Wehrmacht more time to advance in Spring and Summer.This leads to the capture of Moscow and many other German targets for Barbarossa, and the fall of the Soviet Union. Stalin, being bolder in this timeline, stayed in Moscow even though of reports of German troops approaching. He dies days later and Moscow is taken. The Soviet Union officially surrenders. At least, for the west. The Eastern Soviet Union has consolidated some retreating forces behind the Ural Mountains. Stalin's plans of also moving industrial power farther east has given the Eastern Soviet Union the power to produce tanks and planes, albeit slowly. An unsteady peace has been made between the two nations. Although both secretly plan on attacking each other in another point in the future.

Pacific
The Japanese forces that did not make it to the Battle Of Midway in our timeline, did in this one. The extra 2 light carriers, 5 battleships, 6 cruisers, and 35 support ships made the Japanese with the Battle, leading to Yamamoto's plan becoming a reality. The Japanese invasion of the Aleutians were more successful as well because of this, and the Aleutians were also taken, threatening Alaska.

Britain
With the downfall of the Soviet Union, Britain's plan of having the USSR and USA help them is already half obsolete. They still rely on America, though, and refuse a peace in Germany proposed. Germany, after this, is now plotting either re-igniting the Battle of Britain, or finally doing Operation: Sealion. '''(The German player will have to make up his/her mind on which plan to enact). '''With America's fleets concentrated on the Pacific, the Atlantic is left open to the Germans, and Britain is cut off from international supplies.

Asia
The war in Asia concerning Japan continues on as it has in our time line.

Rules
1. No implausibility.

2. Each turn is three months.

3. Turns begin at UTC 00:00

4. Don't edit past posts.

5. Resistance in countries will be determined on a scale of 1-5 using Random.org. This roll must be done at the beginning of each month to determine resistance for the territory gained last month. You must roll once for each country in which territory you have taken. You must deal with this resistance before progressing further into the country.

1=No resistance.

2=Little resistance.

3=Moderate resistance.

4=Heavy resistance.

5=Citizen revolt.

6. You may only control one nation, but may release nations as puppet states.

7. Puppets act as allies, and must help the nation they are a puppet of at all times.

8. Moderators have to ability to do plausible, and fair events for any and every country.

9. Moderators decide what technology countries can research. This depends on the country's current economical state in game, and technological state in game and in our timeline.

10. You cannot switch countries unless yours has been annexed or made into a puppet.

11. The game ends in the current year.

12. New players can start the year they joined.

14. Moderators determine what is plausible and what is not.

15. Moderators designated as map-makers are the only ones allowed to edit the map.

16. A map will be made every six months.

17. A nation historically with one side will stay with that side until they choose to leave by the minimum year of 1953. Leaders cannot leave. Example: Italy can leave the Axis beginning in 1953, but Germany may not. If one side is defeated, the winning side will determine the outcome of the defeated side.

18. Nations designated as 'Empires' control only their mainland, so Britain controls only Britain, but they're colonies world wide are classified as puppet states for them.

19. Colonial empires of nations conquered will become apart of the country who conquered the home country. Example: France conquers Netherlands, Dutch colonies become apart of France.

More may come.
