^
^The end of the Second World War has triggered new emnities as the democratic Western Powers clash with the Communist 
^U.S.S.R. A clash over Korea between the two sides is imminent, though this war is not actually covered by this scenario 
^(it's detailed in another scenario by the same author, and thus the Korean Peninsula and surrounding area are left off 
^the map). This scenario actually covers the Cold War events in the surrounding area of East Asia and the Pacific. You 
^can play as the Soviets, holding mostly Siberia and parts of the Asiatic republics, as well as their puppet state in
^Mongolia, and thus seek to spread your firm influence across the region, probably clashing with the West. The Vietminh, 
^the Communist Vietnamese guerillas who are fighting for Indo-Chinese liberation, hold Northern Vietnam and are blocked from 
^expanding southward by the French Fortress Dien Bien Phu, save for some resistance in Central Vietnam. The beleaguered French 
^still hold most of French Indo-China (though the Vietminh keep trying) as well as their Pacific holdings in the Solomon Islands 
^and French Polynesia, and they're separate from the Western Powers player due  to their current war. The Thai, meanwhile, have 
^grown closer to the West with their failed assosciation with Japan. China is divided between a Nationalist North and a Communist 
^South, in irreconcilable conflict, as the Chinese Revolution heats up. The Western Powers, encompassing the Western United 
^States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, Micronesia, the Marianas, and the Marshalls), the British Commonwealth (including 
^Western Canada, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Fiji, part of the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, 
^Malaysia, Burma, and Hong Kong), the Dutch East Indies (for the Netherlands), Macao and East Timor (for Portugal), American-
^occupied Japan, and, even though they became independent from their colonial rulers the year before the scenario starts (the 
^former from the United States, the latter two from the British Empire), the Philipines, India, and the East Pakistan (now 
^Bangledesh) to represent the strong initial influence their former colonial masters still command, as well as, due to strong 
^affiliations with the West, Mexico and Nepal. The goal is to contain (if the French, Thai, Nationalist Chinese, or the Western 
^Powers) or expand (if the Soviets, Vietminh, or Communist Chinese) the power of Communism in the world.
