Oh…
I’ve been playing wrong this entire time???
:disappointed:
Thanks for clarifying though. I’ll take that into my next physical game.
Global 1940 Cold War goes Hot Scenario
-
I Missed one European Neutral. SO I’ll mention it below before the asian neutrals.
Yugoslavia
Territory: Yugoslavia
Units: 8 infantry, 2 armor
Non aligned Movement: Yugoslavia was one of the founders of the Non Aligned Movement. Yugoslavia may only be moved by one influence point per each diplomatic phase. Whoever would normally get the most influence based on the purchases for Yugoslavia during that round’s diplomatic phases gets the one influence point.Afghanistan
Territory: Afghanistan
Units: 6 infantry
Afghan Isolation: In 1961, as a result of Afghanistan Prime Minister Mohammed Daoud’s antagonistic policies and support to militias in disputed areas, Pakistan closed its borders with Afghanistan causing an economic crisis and greater dependence on the USSR. The USSR became Afghanistan’s principal trading partner. Within a few months, the USSR had sent jet airplanes, tanks, heavy and light artillery for a heavily discounted price tag of $25 million. Soviets gain double influence rewards for purchasing units or facilities for Pakistan.Burma
Territory: Burma, Shan State
Units: 4 infantry (2 in each territory)
General Win: General Ne Win had briefly served as Burma’s Prime Minister between 1958 and 1960. His caretaker government had dutifully ceded power after democratic elections. However, in 1962 the General would seize power in a military staged coup d’état. Ne Win became head of state as Chairman of the Revolutionary Council and declared a socialist state run by a “Revolutionary Council” of senior military officers. The Warsaw Pact gains double influence rewards for building military units for Burma. Also, if the Warsaw Pact instigates a civil war in Burma then half of the opposing forces are disbanded before the first cycle of combat.Ceylon(Sri Lanka as of 1972)
Territory: Ceylon
Units: 2 infantry
Neutral Bandaranaike: Sirimavo Bandaranaike was a Sri Lankan politician and the world’s first female head of government. She favored policies of non-alignment in the Cold War. Halve all influence rewards for purchasing units or facilities for Ceylon.China
Territory: All territories marked with a Chinese roundel except Kwangtung and Formosa (Jehol is the capital)
Units: 36 infantry (2 infantry in every territory), 4 artillery, 5 mechanized infantry, 4 armor, 4 fighters
Theory of Productive Forces: The Theory of Productive Forces is a widely-used concept in communism and Marxism placing primary emphasis on technical advances and strong productive forces in a nominally socialist economy before real communism, or even real socialism, can have a hope of being achieved. Using this theory as a basis for their practical policies meant that communist theoreticians and leaders put productive forces first and ideology second. China may only be influenced by the purchase of minor or major industrial complexes.India
Territory: West India, India
Units: 20 infantry (ten per territory), 2 fighters, 3 armor, 2 mechanized infantry, 4 artillery
Non aligned Movement: India was one of the founders of the Non Aligned Movement. India may only be moved by one influence point per each diplomatic phase. Whoever would normally get the most influence based on the purchases for India during that round’s diplomatic phases gets the one influence point.Indonesia
Territory: Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, Dutch New Guinea
Units: 20 infantry (4 per each territory)
New Order: An attempted coup on 30 September 1965 was countered by the army, who led a violent anti-communist purge, during which the PKI was blamed for the coup and effectively destroyed. Between 500,000 and one million people were killed. The head of the military, General Suharto, out-maneuvered the politically weakened Sukarno, and was formally appointed president in March 1968. His New Order administration was supported by the US government, and encouraged foreign direct investment in Indonesia, which was a major factor in the subsequent three decades of substantial economic growth. However, the authoritarian “New Order” was widely accused of corruption and suppression of political opposition. The allies gain double influence rewards for building military units for Indonesia. Also, if the allies instigate a civil war in Indonesia then half of the opposing forces are disbanded before the first cycle of combat.Japan
Territory: Japan, Iwo Jima
Units: 6 infantry, 4 fighters, 1 major industrial complex, 1 naval base, 1 airbase
Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security: T_he United States and Japan signe an agreement obligating each state to maintain and develop their capacities to resist armed attack in common and to assist each other in case of armed attack on territories under Japanese administration. It was understood, however, that Japan could not come to the defense of the United States because it was constitutionally forbidden to send armed forces overseas._
The allies are allowed to base units in Japan and make use of any Japanese bases as long as Japan is neutral. The allies also receive double the influence rewards for purchasing units for Japan.Korea
Territory: Korea
Units: 6 infantry
Divided Korea: The Korean peninsula is divided into two states: a Communist North and a Democratic South. For as long as Korea is neutral it is assumed that both Korean states exist. Allied and Warsaw Pact countries are allowed to station units in Korea for as long as it is neutral. Neither side may start a civil war in Korea. They may attack Korea, however. In this instance then half of the starting troops, plus all of the forces bought for Korea by the Warsaw Pact, plus any Warsaw Pact forces in Korea will fight for the Warsaw Pact side while all allied units, units build for Korea by the allies, and the other half of Korea’s starting forces will fight for the allies.Malaysia
Territory: Malaya
Units: 4 infantry
Racial Strife: The end of Chinese emigration to Malaysia stabilized the country’s demographic situation and ended the prospect of the Malays becoming a minority in their own country. At the time of independence in 1957, the Malays were 55% of the population, the Chinese 35% and the Indians 10%. The Chinese community’s disparate wealth led to widespread discontent within the Malay community. Attempts by the government to force a “Malayan curriculum” and give preferential treatment to Malays intensified racial strife and paved the way for destabilizing inter-communal violence. It costs half the normal amount of ipcs to start a civil war in Malaysia.Mongolia
Territory: Ulaanbaatar, Buyant-Uhaa, Central mongolia, Dzavhan, Tsgaan-Olom, Olgiy
Units: 6 infantry (use the figures on the map)
Stalwart Soviet Ally: Mongolia has been a Soviet client since the early 1920s. If the Warsaw Pact is at war with China or the allies then they immediately gains +5 influence with Mongolia.Taiwan
Territory: Formosa
Units: 4 infantry
Republic of China: In 1949, during the Chinese Civil War, the ROC government, led by President Chiang Kai-shek, retreated from Nanjing to Taipei, Taiwan’s largest city. The ROC continued to claim sovereignty over all China. Some 2 million people, consisting mainly of soldiers, Kuomintang party (KMT, Chinese Nationalist Party) members and most importantly the intellectual and business elites, were evacuated from mainland China and arrived in Taiwan around that time. In addition, as part of its escape from Communists in mainland China, the ROC government relocated to Taipei with many national treasures including gold reserves and foreign currency reserves. Gain +5 influence with Taiwan if you go to war with China.Vietnam
Territory: French Indo China
Units: 6 infantry
Divided Vietnam: Vietnam is divided into two states: a Communist North and a Democratic South. For as long as Vietnam is neutral it is assumed that both Vietnamese states exist. Allied and Warsaw Pact countries are allowed to station units in Vietnam for as long as it is neutral. Neither side may start a civil war in Vietnam. They may attack Vietnam, however. In this instance then half of the starting troops, plus all of the forces bought for Vietnam by the Warsaw Pact, plus any Warsaw Pact forces in Vietnam will fight for the Warsaw Pact side while all allied units, units built for Vietnam by the allies, and the other half of Vietnam’s starting forces will fight for the allies. -
these look great! i would love to try it out some time…
-
Any new changes? Is it balanced?
-
Sorry it took so long to respond to this.
I’m actually going to playtest it this next weekend. Working on a couple sheets with each neutral’s starting alignment, special rules, and space for the forces bought for it by the superpowers. -
this is so cool! thanks!

-
Nope. This upcoming weekend is when I’ll be playtesting the revised rules, which will be compatible with holy Larry’s latest rules.
There are some things I don’t have mentioned here like ipc value changes for some territories. Should have a nice download with all the new stuff ready for yall in a few weeks to try on your own. :)
-
Just some basic notes on changes that I’ve been working on for the scenario set in the 1960s:
The IPC values of territories, both in neutral and belligerent territories, have been revised. Additionally, the expenditure of foreign aid permanently raises the ipc value of a specified neutral territory by 1 (to a max of 3). Additionally, Industrial complexes may now be built on islands.
Countries:
The Warsaw Pact Nations
USSR: 93 Ipcs
Warsaw Pact: 33 Ipcs
The Allies
USA: 116 IPCs
NATO: 90 IPCs
SEATO: 17 IpcsAllied income is halved until war starts. Additionally, the allies will not be able to initiate hostilities with the USSR until turn 4 unless the communists outright invade one of the following neutral countries: Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Eire, The People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, India, or Persia. Until that time, the allies and the communist must weigh the benefits of using their incomes for building up conventional and nuclear forces or jockeying for influence in neutral nations.
All European territories conquered by the communists go to the Warsaw pact. All other territories conquered by the communists fall under Soviet control. All European territories (up to the Soviet borders) conquered by the allies go to NATO. All territories in the Americas conquered by the Allies go to the USA.
There are now a total of 68 victory cities, many of them in neutral countries. Either side will need 50 to win. This will almost certainly require war as most of the new victory cities are in Europe.Hydrogen Bomb attacks that obliterate Industrial complexes also destroy any victory city in the hit province. That’s one way to make the 50 victory city. If the number of Victory cities is reduced to fewer than 50 then the game ends in nuclear winter. The side with the most victory cities at the end of the turn gets a Pyrrhic victory.
NATO’s capital begins in the Netherlands Belgium. If that is captured then the income is sacked but a new capital is established in the United Kingdom. If London falls then NATO’s funds are looted once more, and the capital moves to Ontario.

There is an earlier scenario in this thread with the UK and the two Chinas as powers. This 1960s scenario is set after the Chinese-Soviet alliance basically broke down. Most of the UK’s colonies are independent by this point, so it seemed better just to merge them with NATO (UK’s Pacific board colonies are part of SEATO)
As t stands countries will be at different levels of influence. It will be easier for the USSR to get China into its camp than the US.
I was working on optional rules for the Chinese player to be kind of a third alliance who could side with whichever power they chose. If other people really want the UK and China in as separate powers I’d consider revising it.
