The Four Faction War
Most German AARs are just Germany vs the world. This one's a little different. The USA, the Comintern, the Allies and the Axis will all be forced to fight against each other.
USA drops a bomb on London. Russia invades India. England invades Hawaii in a massive naval battle with Japanese, American and Allied ships. Who knows what will happen? All I can say, is that it's going to awesome.
Criticism is welcome! I'm not very experienced with AARs - I've only ever done one other and I never completed it due to the internet not working.
Ground rules
No cheating
Normal difficulty
Normal game mode
No mods
A few other things
I've given plans ahistorical names to reflect their ahistorical nature. Fall Sonnenuntergang - Operation/Case Sunset in English - is the invasion of Poland. Fall Silber - Operation/Case Silver in English - is the invasion of the Soviet Union.
If you want to skip to the actual war between four factions, start at Chapter Six.
