"Ok, guys. Now we talked all night long to make a plan to set foot on German soil. But first things first: We need to cross that Kiel Canal*!"

*Or Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal as it was called back then
**Or Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, its current German name.

Did not know that. I thought it was always the Kiel Canal.

Right now it's just a staring contest, especially as Germany is pussyfooting around with DoW'ing the Soviets like I was counting on. They may not launch Barbarossa with Sweden in the war. :(

In fact I first wrote "We need to cross that Nord-Ostsee-Kanal". Then I thought about it and figured it could have another name in English (the literal translation would be "North-Baltic Sea Canal", btw). So I summoned the magic of Wikipedia which told me its English and its former name (up to 1948 iirc). :)

Without a doubt the worst timeline

Edit: I can't stop thinking about the atrocity that is this map. It haunts me. I am truly disgusted by its mere existance.

Hungary wants his old place back and demands Slovakia! But apparently they didn't check who is currently owning it.

Will Germany give in to these demands out of fear from the mighty Hungarian army?
 
Never underestimate the AI and its enthousiasm to sacrifice manpower for the cause.
 
Japan Surrendered 1 August and apparently held the Olympic Games in a single day:

Then within the month the Soviet-Turkish war turns into World War III and Democratic Japan decides well, how about another insane war, what's the worst that could happen?

@noobermenschen

I had a few games like that. I feel your pain.

IE Freed Democratic Germany decide to start WW3 by declaring on USSR in Operation Barbarossa just because Nazi Germany didn't trigger the focus.

But...i'm not a fascist... i didn't even do any offensive war the entire game!
I know you're the abstion of freedom but aren't you the evil one now?
(so yea, my entire run got ruined because of this. naval invasions everywhere. Clean one up, and be ready to respond do a dozen new ones)
ps. i know what focus i'm doing, but i just did that because the USA was declaring on me anyway so i might aswel no?

Yup. :p Ivan was stuck in Eastern Turkey for over a year and then pulled a Japan by starting a bigger war, renouncing Molotov-Ribbentrop after post war Germany had joined the Allies. I had planned on going Finland* -> Leningrad -> Novgorod -> Moscow and winning the war, but now I will have to take my fleet and strongest Army back to the Pacific while keeping an occupied Russia under control, or trusting my Allies to finish her off. Guess I will be building nukes after all.

*Simple but not easy, Finland is going to be a tough nut to crack.
 
The most important factor in amphibious operations is security. We must keep the enemy guessing where we are going to land....

Meanwhile the Russian Front appears to be developing into a Swedish-Turkish race for Moscow. :cool:
