Postby Infected Mushroom » Tue Oct 13, 2020 5:40 pm

I’m re-modding this 13 power 1901 alternate history world war map. I’ve been tasked with setting up the two opposite alliances. I think I’m going with:

British Empire
French Empire
Germans
Dutch
Italians
Chinese

Vs

USA
Russians
Spanish Empire
Portuguese Empire
Austria
Japan
Ottomans

...

Is that fair?

I’ll be playing as France. My game plan will be to fight Spain + Portugal to a standstill with the help of a limited task force from London. Meanwhile, my allies Germany, Italy, and Holland will try to decisively take Vienna and knock Austria out of the war quickly before they can group up with Ottonans and the Russians.

The enemy American production could be a problem though.

What if America, but with Social Democracy & Eisenhower worship? Medicare For All, North American Highspeed Rail, and $1 Trillion military budget because we're the best country. CIA love Teddy Roosevelt and the environment enough to torture Oil executives. Our conservatives shoot Klansmen for sport. We waterboard UN delegates until they sign the GND
