While Germany watches from over the fence, the world goes again into war... Washington is in troubles, indeed... will the US president dare to...?

Thanks both of you, and thanks Murm for voting for this piece as best narrative HOI2 AAR for the Q2 2007 AARwards! Considering there is so little narrative interspersed with so much history book-style, I've would've been even happier for a vote in the history-book category but I guess there was simply too stiff competition in that respect, eh? ;)

...

:D

1) I'm stupid. I can't seem to decide whether something is narrative or history-book.
2) Indeed history-book is somewhat a dense category in HOI2.
3) A vote is a vote.
4) See 1)

But you're welcome... :D

Interesting update. I doubt that the Nationalists will be able to hold off the USSR for long, though.

Wow. My first thought was that the Communist forces with Soviet backing would run rough-shod over the Kuomintang. But this is a very different Kuomintang army given the US and German backing (and, one presumes, training). And it gives them a true "Nationalist" feel that may sway folks from the Communist camp.

Granted to jig is up as soon as the Soviets throw their full strength, but it won't be a walk-over, it will hurt the Soviets badly, and it would be bad publicity. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Whoah! Damn good AARey you have going here! Have to start following. Btw, why don't you take off the fog of war, for better following of the East Asian Wars?

All these wars can't be good for Soviet manpower. Like you pointed out, the Soviets had trouble in RL near the end of the war when it comes to enough men. With that war now being a losing one, another war with America and now one with the Nationalists, they might start having the same problem that France did after WWI!

I'm expecting a bloody stalemate in China, with a Korea-esque armistice to follow.

On a more background note- Ironically Soviet dominance of Mao's little China might curtail some of the worst of the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward once de-Stalinisation is underway. Of course a Nazi threat still present may make hardliners like Beria more likely to seize power.

Ah well who knows. Great as usual Yog.

Been lurking (and subscribed to) this thread for a while now, and I gotta say: great, really great job! I really love the way you've crafted yourself a whole alternate world, complete with realistic politics, characters, and military conflicts. Can't wait to see more :)

Great AAR, just a little nitpick:
The He-162's name wasn't Salamander, but Volksjäger (peoples fighter). The research and design project of the He-162 was called Projekt Salamander, but not the interceptor itself.

Just saw it today, read it all at once... (one day I´ll get fired for this) Fantastic as always, keep it coming.

One question: After Argelian independence, did "Free France" keep the other colonies? And what about the dutch and belgian colonies? It would be strange (ande very fun) to see the NATO fighting simultaneously the nazis, the comintern and the anti-colonialist movements!

Once more, congratulations. :)
