You mean I might get to lose as the Germans? That would complete the triad.[:o]

I definitely like!

Don't forget you're going to have at least a semi-plausible story and a reason behind why Germany would bother sending air and naval (and possibly ground? Imagine Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler vs. 1st USCM Div) assets to the Far East.

How about Britain capitulating in 1940 - say Halifax becomes PM instead of Churchill, and Dunkirk falls. The price, among other things: German domination in Europe, and renewed German control over their former colonies in New Britain and the Solomons. [:D] Go from there.

Ok the Scenio I invisage is this Operation Barbaaroas is successfull with a Time line of Moscow Falls Stalin captured Sept 41 by Nov - Dec 41 German Troops will start to move into the WITP area of Russia (there is two ways to go here 1 - just change enmase all Russian Bases to Japanese and work from there or 2. German troops have to fight their way from a brige head to Valdivostoc and gradualy take over Russian production (Supply sources) if they can)
opions on these 2 otions wanted
German ships break out ond proceed a round the Cape of Good Hope and start appearing in Indian Ocean between Aus and Africa Raiders and subs will harrase the Aus supply lines from Western Aus while the main force will make a run for Japan - Japanes forces will have to be sent to support and refuel - when Allies wake up to whats happening they will have to send what they can spare to try and stop ... this would start to occure in first 6 months of 42

first time I have put this down on paper so to speak more input and thought needed

From a strictly 'limitless design' perspective, I'd rather see the fight between German and Russia ground/air units occur. I realize that it makes design more difficult, but would be more interesting IMO.

No matter what, it all sounds good!

Cobra, those are some really beautiful tops you've done. If you haven't already, you should send a note to Tankerace, and throw in with the WPO team. They're basically having to do all new art, since it's stuff from the 1920s.

Maybe after Dunkirk, Churchill is removed in a "lack of confidence" and Chamberlain is brought back from obscurity." Peace" for another year and Pearl Harbor does not happen till 1942????
(This would of course also allow more Japanese build up before PH and maybe more oil stores ??)[:)]

Germans in the Pacific

Germany and Italy have conqured the Med, so Hilter starts to support the Japanese to help keep the Americans and British tied up in the Pacific, while he goes after Russia.

Create a Base far off to the east and have German ships bring in Aircraft, some troops(Africa Corp) and Resources. Allow Japan to starting building German aircraft in Mid 1942, and some better armor units and U-boats. Each month have a new airgroup with one German aircraft (ME109's FW109's,Ju88's, He111's and ME110's) arrive and have to be shipped to a Japanese base.

Allow German ships (Raiders, Subs, Minelayers) to harrass British shipping.

The British are now forced to both keep India safe and deal with the Germans to prevent an influx of support to Japan.

If Japan moves quickly enough they with the help of the Germans maybe able to kick the British out of the pacific.
