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 01:00

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 turn 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.

13. A page for your nation is strongly recommended. Be sure to include military strength and population count.

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.

20. Nations classified as 'major power's' cannot be taken without a vote from the moderator staff whether or not a player can take it.

21. You can only build up two of these things at a time: infrastructure, military, economy.

More may come.

1943.0
''' Mussolini is attacked while on vacation in Italian-held North Africa by a joint Egyptian-British mob. He survives, but has a broken left arm and a concussion. '''

''' Adolf Hitler tours Moscow as Mussolini was on vacation in North Africa. '''

''' In the UK, the population becomes very antzy as the Germans begin re-positioning their armies on the English channel. '''

''' In Asia, French Indo-China is torn into civil war between the natives and the colonists. Japanese troops there are attacked by Vichy French soldiers, who cannot tell the difference between the natives and the Japanese. 12 Japanese die and 5 French before the French are chased off by artillery fire from ships off-coast. '''

''' Argentina joins the Axis and begins building up military forces. '''


 *  Third Reich: A squadron of four Bf 109's fly over the coast of Britain to survey it for possible invasion. The TIger II and Jagdpanther begins production. Air Aviation companies begin making designs for short-ranged bombers that can carry a heavily bomb load, but have decent armor. The bomber should only have three defensive machine guns- one in the tail, one below the fuselage, and one above. Designs from Heinkel, Junkers, and Dornier are all submitted. Any foreign country is offered a substantial amount of money if they submit their design. Tanks are also prepared for the invasion. Designs of tanks with heavy armament, low armour, and intermediate mobility are being looked for. The tank must also be able to survive marshy landscapes. German tank companies work on their models, but foreign models are once again welcomed, and any country that submits gains money.
 * East. Soviet Union: The Red Army rebuilds a massive military. And produces more arms from the factories to prepare for invasion.
 * ESU dip: Requests an alliance with Japan, and a NAP with the Third Reich.
 * TR Dip: We accept.
 * China: We seek to end the war with Japan, we build up our military and economy, while attempting to work on infrastructure. The government seeks a new home for the capital, as Bejing is occupied by Japanese forces.
 * Sweden: Sweden reaffirms its neutrality in the war. Nevertheless, the military, navy and Air Force are mobilized and stand ready. Sweden respectfully declines the German contract, looking to keep any designs for its own defense.
 * America: We begin to focus on retaking the Aleutian Islands and the island of Midway and Admiral Nimitz attempts to lead an offensive into Midway to retake the island while General George Marshall leads the attempt to retake the Aleutian Islands. We attempt to put General Douglas MacArthur out of retirement, since need him right at the present time. We begin to deploy our forces into South America to stop Argentina in its tracks as we ask for the nations of South America to join us against the Axis. We begin to build up our fleets in the Atlantic to rush to assist the UK with new technologies, such as sonar and advanced radar led by General George S. Patton. Meanwhile on the home front, we begin to ramp up production on our fighter craft and the P-51 Mustang by North American Aviation begins production and production is ramped up on war material and vehicles. We begin to station troops in Southern Africa that is controlled by the British in order to commence stationing troops there. SECRET: We ask for the Eastern USSR to attack the Germans once they rebuild their forces. We continue the Manhattan Project to develop a nuclear bomb for our nation to use against either the Japanese or the Germans.
 * SECRET: We accept, if we can forge an alliance.
 * US Secret Diplomacy: We accept your offer for an alliance.
 * Arabian : Arabia to further its economy has built 4 oil refineries at 16 billion$ and are now selling oil for 4$ a barrel and gas 7$ a barrel.
