Ok, as all of you who clicked to visit this thread have read the subject we don´t need to explain the theme further.
1st let me answer some questions.
(1) Why again Jim Panse?
This thread will become some discussion platform where Cifer Almasy and myself will post any progress concerning the theme. I know, some (maybe most) of you will ask why Jim is doing this though he´s working on some other projects but Cifer asked me and I agreed to help him.
(2) Why 1937-45 and not 1939-45?
Well, we decided to start the game in 1937, beginning with most of our Western Historians called the "Chinese Incident" at the Marco Polo Bridge between Imperial Japanese Forces and parts of the Chinese Army. Also a longer build-up will be much more fun (i mean also diplomatic fun. imagine the "Anschluss" of Austria 1938 and the Sudeten Crisis 1938/39).
(3) Which Civs to take/leave out?
We decided to have seven moretheless playable civs and give the Neutrals to the Barbarians. Playable would be: Germany, Italy (yes you read right, Italy. Explanation below) and Japan on the one side. Great Britain, France and the USA on the other side. The USSR should be some kind of alternative ideological power. (Yeah, I played a little Hearts of Iron).
(4) Why Italy?
Well, not easy to explain but for this should become some kind of different WW2 scenario we decided to do it either with Italy as we do it with France. When the scenario kicks of Europe is divided between the 3 Ideologies mentioned above. Democracy (UK, France) with the US standing aside watching, Fascism (Germany, Italy) and the USSR. What we like to include into this scenario is the fact that Italy was some kind of decisive to the German War Machinery (Albania, Greece). For mostly these reasons we decided to make this scenario with Italy instead of e.g. China though there wouldn´t be many cities in Italy (what is the most popular reason to leave it out).
Ok, first answers are here but if you have some other ones just ask. This thread should not only inform you about the progress but should also be some kind of platform where you post your comments, ideas and critics.
Attached is the Gigamap on which the scenario will be created. It still needs some adjustments.
