After the Soviet Union had fallen Japan and Germany had finally made contact with each other and could now exchange technology.Soon at the pacific theater Japanese versions of panzers and Focke Wulfs were introduced with devastating result to the allies.Germany agreed on aiding the Japanese invasion of India and Australia.At early 1943 the entire Pacific,excluding Hawaiis,were under Axis control. At mid 1943 Germany invaded Great Britain which could only to delay German advance.In two months London was captured and Great Britain had to sue for peace.USA had placed it's pacific fleet to support Great Britain but it had to retreat after taking heavy losses.At late 1943 USA started to fortify Hawaiis. At sping 1944 Japanese invasion fleet started to move towards Hawaiis,US pacific fleet comfronted the invasion fleet at Midway islands hoping to stop them.The Midway battle was a great tragedy to USA.The pacific fleet were forced to retreat after over half of it were destroyed.Hawaiis were turned into a fortress island by now and it took over four months for the Japanese troops to capture it.However after Hawaiis fell Japanese troops had a jump point for their invasion of USA. Axis countries agreed on at starting the invasion at march of 1945.German forces consisted three army groups. Army group Savannah,commandet by field marshall Ervin Rommel.Army group Savannah's objectives is to capture the port city of Savannah and advance to inland and to deal as much of damage US army as possible.Also spies have reported that near Atlanta is some secret research facility that could produce a horrible weapon of mass destruction. Army group Norfolk,commandet by Erich von Mannstein.Army group Norfolk's primary objective is to capture the US capital Washington and then press deeper into inland and deal as much damage to US army as possible. Army group Boston,commandet by field marshal von Paulus.Army group Boston is ordered to capture the cities of Boston,New York, Philadelphia and push over the Canadian border and force them out of the war. The Japanese army which is supposed to capture San Francisco and Los Angeles and then push to the inland and meet Germans at the Missisippi river. The US army is a worn force because of all the losses it has taken.USA has taken bad aerial losses at pacific and European theatres and they have left their marks on US air cover. Significant events: Axis has plenty of air and sea transport at the first turn at the second turn Axis sea transport is severly reduced however all Axis reinforcements will be placed on major harbor cities after they are captured. Both sides have five rail repair capacity each turn. USA player can use atomic weapons from turn 10 and forward unless Axis troops can capture Nuclear test facility before that.If Axis player can capture NTF before turn 10 there is a chance that NTF can be evacuated and USA player will receive A-bomb anyway. Harbor cities will increase Axis supply a few turns after being captured.If USA player recaptures harbor cities axis supply will reduce. There is a high chance of storms which will severly reduce Axis supply for a few turns. The remrants of US naval forces will engage to a battle with Axis at turn 10.There is very small chance that US navy will win,if this happens Axis supply will drop dramaticly and there is a small chance that Axis will evacuate and USA player will win instantly. When major American cities are captured USA supply and replacements are reduced.When recapturing the cities player will receive some of the replacements back but only seldom supplies. Canada will surrender shortly after Ottawa is captured unless it is recaptured soon enought. USA troops are under shock for two first turns. The shock will begin at 60 but will graduatly rise untill turn three. Axis troops will be placed under shock for a few turns if USA uses atomic weapons.However USA will lose 200 victory points if they use atomic weapons. If Axis player captures Kansas City the scenario will end as Axis victory. |
