Hi everybody,
After some thought I've managed to consolidate my Assyria and Pontus mods into one grand mod I'm going to call 'Anatolian Wars'.
I've just begun tech teams etc for Pontus and have nearly finished Assyria, and all the other nations are already existing in the regular HOI2 and HOI2oomsday vanilla game.
Basically, the concept of the game is that after the Turkish War of Independence, the allies managed to crush the Kemalist forces and therefore finally imposed the Treaty of Sevres on Turkey. This results in a small, angry Turkey with terretorial claims everywhere in modern Turkey's borders.
Greece, meanwhile, controls all of Western Anatolia- I'm not sure about Istanbul yet- it could be a puppet Ottoman Empire controlled by the Allies, or it could be owned by Greece as part of the Greek Nationalist 'Megali Idea' belief.
Anyway, Greece will be supporting its Hellenic compatriots in Pontus, on the Black Sea Coast, who will be tied between helping the USSR, who helped secure their independence, or Greece, with whom they share a common agenda. There will, however, be no possibility of 'Enoisis' (merging) with Greece and Pontus as there was between Greece and Crete in 1910, due to international issues which would restrict such an act.
In the East, Armenia- independent of the USSR- will actually have Yerevan and Kirovabad, but also Kars and Erzurum. They will be in a war with Kurdistan over Van, which was then both Armenian and Kurdish populated. Iraq will befriend Assyria, who will probably try and play off Kurdish and Armenian interests to expand their territory, which will be Mosul and Batman.
Meanwhile, Turkey has to regain its territory, and all the other nations have to finally gain their territorial wishes through war or tactful diplomacy- kind of like China in the 1936 campaign... but Anatolian.
I'm even considering making Cappadocia independent, as another semi-Hellenic nation, just to add to the mad situation in the East!
Anyway, this will be my first mod- I hope to release it in the late summer or autumn, work permitting, and have already started work on Pontus and Assyria.
Here is a map, just to explain what the nations will look like at the outset of 1936:
Anyway, if you want to help me with this, just PM me!
