^
^War has errupted in Europe between the Great Powers, and this conflict threatens to extend to
^European holdings in East Asia and the Pacific. The Germans (the only of the Central Powers
^represented on the map, as Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria have no holdings outside Europe, and the
^Ottoman Empire doesn't extend that far east) holds part of New Guinea, most of the Solomon Islands
^and Micronesia, part of Samoa, and a colony in East China, and they're the protagonist, so it's
^an uphill battle for them. The Russians and the Franco-British (the French and British are one
^faction in this scenario) are the principal European Allies in the region, with the Russians holding
^Siberia and the Franco-British holding India, Ceylon, Burma, French Indo-China, Macao and Portuguese
^Timor (technically Portuguese holdings, but counted under this player as Portugal was very close to 
^Britain), Hong Kong, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the Mariana, Marshall, 
^Ellige, and New Hebrides Islands, French Polynesia, part of Samoa, and Western Canada. The Japanese 
^and Chinese are on the Allied side, though the Japanese and Russians and the Chinese and Japanese both 
^have bad blood from recent conflicts, and thus the Franco-British must hold the alliance together. One 
^shouldn't play the Siamese, who are small and backward, or the Americans and Neutrals (who include not 
^only the Western U.S., but the American holdings of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the Philipines, the Dutch 
^East Indies (for the Netherlands) and Napal, as they weren't involved in this conflict (though the
^Americans later joined the European Campaigns). The Germans must sieze as many nearby Allied colonies
^as possible to win; the Allies must prevent it.
