US Civil War (Map Game)

This is a map game and the point of divergence is a Confederate victory at Gettysburg.

The game will begin on March 28, 2011. If there are not enough players, it will be moved up to April 12, the anniversary of the firing on Fort Sumter. The South is supposed to win its war of independance, but after that it its all fair game.

ANY PERSON ERASING ANOTHER PERSONS WORK WILL BE BANNED FROM THIS GAME!!!!

The turns are in half years and you can go once per turn.

You must stay with the facts but a little myth mixed in is alright as well

The rules will be the exact same as the Axis vs Allies.

All diplomatic agreements will take place on the US Civil War Map Game Diplomacy Page.

THE GAME

1863.6
Confederacy: Confederate troops at Gettysburg defeat the Union Army of the Potomac after Pickets Charge succeeds and CS calvary surround the Union forces, wanting recognition by a European power, the ANV marches torwrds Philidelphia due to the corps defending Washington DC.

Spain: Spanish authorities begin enlisting more men into the Navy and Army, in order to help bolster there forces at both home and at there colonies such as the Phillipines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. In scientific terms, Spanish mechanics and scientist alike begin testing new steam devices and armor for ships in which they end up in creating an armored frigate powered by a steam engine, although production is slow due to lack of parts.

Siam fortifies its territories, (which are still huge at this point.). They offer the British assistance in trade in British Burma, in exchange for arms. Having Siam as an ally would prevent France from getting a hold in Asia. Siam modernizes its army and prepares to invade Viet Nam with its newly acquired weapons, but also asks for a formal alliance with Britain.

The British agree to supply surplus arms and equipment, as well as promising that they won't expand beyond their current borders in SE Asia barring war with another European power. The navy is significantly improved, and several regiments redeploy from Great Britain to New Brunswick, putting pressure on the US. The first shipment of arms to Burma (composed of roughly 4,000 old Model 1755 muskets and ~30 light field pieces) is scheduled to arrive in January of 1864.



France: The French prepare for war with the U.S.A..

Why would France help the CSA?

Both sides requested help from European countries.

However, France would probably respond to the US forces, not the CSA forces.

'''Britain and France had a deal, where if the CSA captured Philadelphia, they would officially help them. (The CSA)'''

Yes, but Philidelphia wasn't captured yet.

French Forces enter Mexico city, French forces spread out to defeat the remaining Mexican forces.

Maximilian the 1st is put in control of the new Mexican monarcht.

France asks for an allaince with Austria-Hungary and the U.K..

France accepts the allanice with Joseobn.

(The French prepare for war with the U.S.A. in late 1863.) DIPLOMATIC SECRET!

USA: American troops fight off CSA forces at Philidelphia, holding the line. They secure the Potomac and take some land surrounding it. This will prevent the CSA from taking Philidelphia or the Potomac again.

They also request an alliance with France, England, Spain, Italy, and Japan.

Paraguay: Recently elected president of Paraguay, Francisco Solano López, is traveling the Paraguayan countryside when he sees a hill which he believes will be the key to his enlightenment on how to rule his country. He asks the driver to stop and pull aside, and asks the owner of the ranch whether he could spend a day meditating under a shade tree. He falls asleep and is awoken by the sound of a cow, and is so startled, he jerks out of his sleep, and startles a mule, who kicks a bucket and hits Solano in the head, knocking him out. A small stampede runs over him, breaking his foot and causing it to become infected. He dies later in the year.

Austria-Hungary: weapons and arms are sent to the Confederacy because of horrible Austro-Hungarian relations with the U.S.A. The Austro-Hungarian rail system is near completion

Joseon: Joseon begins a period of cooperation with the western powers, bring in technology such as guns, ships, and more. They ask for an alliance with the CSA, Japan, China, UK, and France. They begin to improve their inadequet army and navy, which are both in disrepair due to corrupt officials.

Britain accepts, in exchange for a 50-year lease on Jeju Island. Upon Korea agreeing to this, they will immediately receive a sum of 1.7 million pounds (roughly 82 billion dollars in todays currency), four outdated gunboats, and 7,000 muskets. Aide in the form of advisors, engineers, and such is exected to arrive within the next two years.

Russia reforms its military introducing conscription and creating a reserve. Russia creates new military schools its officers teaching new tactics modeled after other European, Russia also begins modernising its navy.

Spain: Thanks to close production ties with the German states, Spain is able to establish a constant amount of material for goods, infrastructure, and most importantly the production of its newly created Steam powered Cruiser. Spainish officals also begin looking torwards the Civil War as a profit expander and it begins to sell products to both sides from Cuba.

1864
France:The French consolidate thier hold on Mexico. France delares war on the U.S.A. Contingents of the French Foreign Legion land in New Orleans and take steamboats up to assult Chicago. French Troops begin joing in the with Confederate armies.

'''But the CSA didn't capture Philidelphia yet! The CSA guy said the troops were making their way to Philidelphia.'''

Joseon: Joseon agrees to Britain's proposal, but offers 15 more years for 10,000 rifles and 5 ships, along with military advisors, trainers, etc.

CSA: The ANV captures Erie and stripps it of value. 3 ironclads are there and are then manned by Confederate sailors who sail them out of the St Lawrence and then south to break the Union blockade. The CSA asks Britian, Prussia, and Spain for an alliance. After a few weeks ofd resting in Erie, the ANV marches north east wards and afetr a 2 month siege, (with the help of the 3 ironclads) captures New York City, causing many of its residents to flee north to Boston and New England. The NYC harbor is also holding 7 warships, 4 ironclads( 2 monitors), and 5 gunboats, giving the CSA 16 new ships for its navy. This "Rebel" sqaudrin as it is nicknamed by Robert E Lee, soon sets up a protective blockade of New York harbor, blocking any US attack on the ANV. The CSA tells France and Britian that in return for recognition and declaration of war on the USA, it will abolish slavery by 1885. The Confederate Army of South Texas (50,000 men) waits for orders from Richmond, and hopefully, the Spanis, German, and British declaration of war on the Union.

'''3 Ironclads and the ANV can't take down a huge city full of ships and troops. This is completely implausible. Also, do not delete my posts again.'''

USA: The US consolidate their defenses around Philidelphia and DC. By now, an attack on Philidelphia or DC would be highly impractical. Cannons bombard the forces attacking Chicago. Also Kentucky declares their alleigance to the Union. The USA asks for an alliance from Joseon, Russia, Britain, Japan, and China.

'''Joseon accepts, but just reminding you, you have to give the CSA independence. That's the rule.'''

Russia accepts

Russia: Russia continues to modernise its military by modernising their weapons. Russia also begins subsidizing and giving grants the Russian American Company in return the Russian American Company agrees to establish new settlements for new colonists from Russia. Russia begins a resettlement program encouraging people to settle in Russian Alaska

Great Britain: British troops continue to redeploy along the US-DoC border from New Brunswick to Columbia, prepping for war with America. England's already massive navy is improved and expanded, and commerce raiding begins against American shipping. Aid continues to be sent to Joseon and Siam, while several obsolete warships and ~40 field pieces are donated to the Confederate war effort.

'''Britain declared their neutrality, along with France, in the American Civil War. They said out loud, "We're sitting this one out." In fact, even before the war, the British prime minister declared that Britain would mantain neutrality. There was nothing OTL saying anything about Philidelphia. In fact, what you guys had said is quite the opposite of OTL.'''

Siam: Siamese troops invade Viet Nam and with their newly acquired weapons, easily start to gain success in the region. Attacks on Saigon and Hanoi start, and the two cities are captured in the name of the king. Siam offers Britain military access, to the country.

Japan: The Japanese Emporer responds to the Hamaguri Rebellion by brutaly crushing the rebellion but loosens the isolationist policies. Japanese troops takes control of the Ryukyu Islands. The Japenese Navy begins modernizations into modern ironclads.

Austria-Hungary: Alliance with France accepted. Austria-Hungary begins research in breech loaded rifles.

Paraguay: After a short period of chaos due to the death of Francisco Solano López, Cirilo Antonio Rivarola manages to take power, and is unanimously elected as president, despite being the only candidate. He loosens some of the economic policies that he called "ultra-isolationist." Rivarola requests economic aid and investment from both the Union and Confederacy, saying it will decide which side to join depending o technological and economic assistance.
