This RP focuses mainly on the virtually unknown Aleutians Islands campaign, which sadly was overlooked by Guadacanal, and the fight for control of the region between the Japanese, Russians, Americans and Canadians. Since there's only four nations that will play a role in this campaign, instead you'll be playing as various commanders of units belonging to the nations listed above. Side note, BTW, in this RP I will be playing as the Commander of all Japanese Naval and Ground Forces operating in the Aleutians region, in addition to sub-ordinate commanders.
For battles it will work something like this: I'll get involved in the battles, but only as far as saying for example the weather conditions. Rest, both sides will handle to decide a victor. As well, posting ORBATS will be recommended for the sake of clarity.
As well, for example, say Joe decides to be the commander of USS Growler and Steve gets accepted as commander of all U.S. Naval forces in the region. If that does happen, and it probably will a couple of times, then higher-up decisions go to, in this case, the higher ranking commander, the head of naval forces in the theatre, which means that Joes decisions and actions will likely be influenced by Steve. Just saying.
So that's it, really. Thoughts?
So no Japanese for anyone else?
Thinking about, I suppose I could let you have some Japanese commanders. I keep my position as commander of Japanese Forces in the Aleutians though

That's cool, my grandfather's brother Eugene fought in the Aleutian campaign. Did you know that one of the largest banzai charges of the war took place there. It's a cool battle but sadly forgotten.
That's pretty neat! I heard about the banzai charge one, though I remember one instance, the Americans and Canadians landed on a island, and expected Japanese resistance, but the Japanese had left the island two weeks before. A few Americans were having a shooting match, and a Canadian soldier mistook it for Japanese gunfire, and shot at the Americans. A large portion of casualties on that island were caused by friendly fire.
