The High Castle (Map Game)

Welcome to The High Castle, a Map gaming dealing with a Semi-Alternative WW2.

In 1932 following Japans Conquest of Manchuria, promptly renamed Manchukuo, the Discovery of Oil prompts massive investment by the Japanese government into the oil fields essentially eliminated Japans need to seize oil from western powers. Its War with China continues in earnest in order to settle the remainder of its resource issues, as well as settle many of its Imperialist ambitions in China.

In Europe the Third Reich inexoribly marches across europe with Its powerful Italian Allies both expanding Rapidly. The Pact of Steel by 1941 has seen Successes in Poland, France, the Low Countries, and has the British on their heels in North Africa. The British while beleaguered fighting across the Europe and Africa, still remains vigilant of its Asian territories unwilling to discount Japan and her aggressive tendencies in China as a removal of Japans wish to take all of Asia.

The United States while not agreeing with the Japanese invasion of China, or the German attacks across europe, is restricted to Lend Lease as Franklin Roosevelt is restricted by the policy of Neutrality. The USSR, the brooding red bear suffers greatly as the Germans reach Russia Proper overrunning Ukraine and Belarus, Hitler having broken the Non-Aggression Pact. The Germans advance through the USSR obliterating all in their path as Stalin can hardly be seen around, giving sparse orders which make no sense. The Year is 1941.

POD clarifications/TL;DR:

Japanese oil exploitation in Manchuria has essentially avoided Japanese conflict with the British, albeit leaving the British unable to pull troops back in fear of a Japanese attack. No Pearl Harbor

A More competent Italian military well led by Generals who were able to survive and assert themselves in the Italian military rather than get sacked and executed has left a powerful Italian Military fighting for the Medditerrenean and North Africa from the British and Free French, while also sucessfully opening an East African Front to the War making the Suez Canal a nightmare to navigate

The German military having its full strength and not needing to save Italy from its various blunders attacks the USSR on schedule and with greater force with its Allies Finland, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, making incredible gains and bearing down on Moscow by August of 1941 with preparation to seize the capital within a month of commencement of the Battle of Moscow

The United States while still providing Lend Lease, is unable to rally public support to fight a war against the Third Reich and while an certain Embargos are in place against the Japanese as well the Two militaristic Fascist war machine continue on without and fear of American Intervention.
