Gentlemen,
I had been working on this map for about two weeks, on and off before posting to this thread. I would like to take this opportunity to catch you up on what changes I have made and solicit feedback from the group.
I will be following this post with a series of post each outlining a topic of change for the map.
My goal is to make this map as historically accurate as possible without sacrificing proper game mechanics and providing a platform for exceptional game play and fun.
So first I had to decide on what date the map would reflect. Positronica suggested 1941 but when? A lot happened in 41 countries fell, nations entered the war on either side, etc.
So after some debate, primarily with myself, I decided on the 5th of December 1941, this seems to be a good place to start. America is about to enter the war, the eastern front in Europe is stable (as stable as it could be), the Middle East had finally “picked†a side and the nations that are natural primarily stayed neutral from this point forward.
I did my best to research each change, primarily using Google and Wikipedia, but if you find an error please let me know. I am looking for constructive feedback to make this map worthy of the price tag.
So on to the changes….
