Well folks. I've long watched what goes on here, feeling more like a curious observer than a designer of any kind myself.
But... no more! I'm currently working on a new scenario. A WWII one (hence the title of the thread).
The idea is this:
It's an alternative history scenario. WWII had begun, and the German blitzkrieg was unstoppable, after smashing through France, Hitler wasted no time launching an invasion of Britain before Churchill had properly digested the news of the French defeat. Before long, Britain was overrun, then iceland, then Greenland... now the fight has stretched to North America proper.
Basically, the Nazi's are beginning to mop up Canada, and you play as the Americans, you must build an army from nothing before the Germans get to your border... for you are surely next on their hitlist. Meanwhile you're keeping an eye out for a Japanese invasion from the Pacific or the possibility of the Germans opening a second invasion front from South America.
I am having problems thinking of techs to include... I know American military wasn't really being built up in large numbers until Pearl Harbor, but does anyone know what tanks, planes, etc. were actually in production in early 1941? I've done lots of research, but these topics are elusive.
Any suggestions, comments, or questions would be appreciated as well.

), the object of the game would be to build up an army before the invasion, not start the game off with a huge demoralizing invasion you have to recover from.
