Should the US continued to remain neutral, what ships would have been completed by early 1943? Thank you!

This assumes that Germany hasn’t at invaded France yet.

@imperious-leader

I think Japan still would have invaded the Soviet Union though, if the Second Sino-Japanese War continued (the oil embargo only really happened once they invaded Indochina).

Other than that I agree with you. That would be curious alternate reality.

This assumes that the design of the ship existed at the time, of course.

@the_good_captain said in Another big question:

@krieghund follow on question that may be answered by the answer to the previous: if France enters Albania on French turn 1, does the territory and its IPC go to France while Italian pieces are activated in Albania?

No. Everything goes to Italy. From the FAQ:

Q. If the capital of a minor power aligned to my power is mobilized by a friendly power, who takes control of the territory?
A. Your power does.

@krieghund

Thank you a lot!

@superbattleshipyamato Right. alot more complications introduces longer play. More areas means longer play, More units longer play. I wish their was a light 12 page version with only about 6-10 more units, not 60 more. The map would have about 60% less areas and play would take 2-3 hours but still be buckets of dice concept. That would be my wish plus dedicated piece sets or a version that used counters like nova games edition.

The same website (maybe a different author) posted this as well:

Thank you for responding!

In late 1941, Germany formed the Baltenflotte, consisting of the battleship Tirpitz, pocket battleship Admiral Scheer, light cruisers Emden, Lepzig, Koln, and Nurnbeg, 3 destroyers, and a torpedo boat squarafron.

It was disbanded some time later without seeing action, due to most Soviets ships heavily damaged.

However, what if the Baltenflotte saw action in their original intention, to prevent a Soviet breakout into Sweden? How would such a naval encounter have occurred and what would be the absence of Tirpitz from the Western Front for a few months?

Stalin apparently had ideas to recreate cavalry armies in 1942. How would Soviet performance have been affected (positively and negatively) if such an army were created instead of cavalry mechanised groups and tanks corps being the highest armoured unit?

What if instead of creating tank (or panzer) formations, Germany concentrated on building more trucks (and some half-tracks although not enough can probably built for the whole army) to fully motorise their army? How would their performance during the war have changed?

@superbattleshipyamato

Thank you for the question. It definitely raises awareness of this feature.

@witt

Thank you!

@domanmacgee No, No. That i know. The King and Kaisers Rules.

1914 has very expensive prices in Germany. I wait for Renegade Games.

@superbattleshipyamato Honestly, you’d be better off looking the different Global Wars up on YouTube. Lots of great channels out there, and tons of comprehensive videos.

@domanmacgee

Thank you for reaponding!

@nolimit

I know, but I’m not at the lectern, so no money involved.

I wonder if it would have been a better idea for Germany to fix the problems of this tank and produce them instead of the Panzer 3 and 4. Would this have been better for Germany? Thank you!

@abworsham4

Awesome! So again, who do you think will win?

What if, in 1939, before the war, Germany decides to withdraw all surface forces (like the destroyers, cruisers, and pocket battleships), to the Baltic Sea, where they will do nothing until the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are combat ready. Hitler then orders the German surface fleet (this battle happens before the Norwegian campaign, or doesn’t happen at all) to engage the British near the Jutland peninsula, hoping to win an even bigger surface victory than at the Battle Of Jutland in World War 1 (many far right Germans celebrated the Battle Of Jutland and the Battle Of Tannenberg as a victory to forget World War 1). Let’s say the German and Allied fleets fought to the death, and the German sailors were willing to sail into such a battle.

How detrimental would this have been for the German war effort? How would the war have changed?
