Sorry but The Reich si not present in Africa in any way ... they are concentrated over Europe.
Anyway, this is your opinion but i think you need to play more games with Fatherland.
Oh, I say it because in a part of your post you mention as if you'll change it to have an Axis presence in Africa. Of course it can happen later as the Cold War evolves, I just felt you said that about the beginning.
I've played many times, I even wrote an alternate history focused around my Germany (and later Crazy SS-run Germany) game, which I'm currently editing by the way.
I really like this mod as it feels as the most plausible approach to a Nazi-USA cold war. But if I'm not wrong, I remember reading that you wanted to implement something like a "path" to create the bigger Soviet Union from 1964 mod or something like that I don't remember the name.
Adding Manchuria while it broke the immersion the game had, it was an interesting decision. I played as them, quickly made Korea my puppet (I wanted their troops) and eventually I won the Chinese Civil War. It was such a good game.
Recently I wanted to play as the Russian Empire, I know it's not one of the "finished" countries but I felt it could be interesting as it had already cores over Russia. But, to my surprise the tech teams were Mexican ones, while I remember that one time there was this... "Patch" for the mod that extended end date to 1989 I believe while also reworking the tech teams at the Russian area.
So, as I say, I've played many times this mod because it's one of my favourites. I enjoy it so much
so I hope you didn't get offended by my opinion, I really appreciate and value your work.
Btw, one time I also played as Japan, I mixed in some events from Thunder in the Sky and Woah, that was a crazy ride.
US accept domination of Axis in Europe, Middle East and Africa but US will have domination over America continent, Oceania and Asia)
About Axis presence in Africa I thought you meant that they'd have it from the very beginning, but I guess you meant about their eventual presence.
