The world is on fire and you started it.

Overview

Welcome aboard Tovarishch! You are amongst a select few crazy and patient enough to handle this Paradox gem. Let it consume your life. In the years between 1936-1964 there is only war. While there are many ways to wage this war, some methods are less bloody than others. (at lest for your men) Prepare to learn first hand why you don’t start a major land war in Asia and how America can be your best friend or worst nightmare.

Getting started. The mindset.

Do you see this man? He is consumed by the awesome madness of alcohol and the eastern front. In game he just leveled a village in the Ukraine and is off to further adventures.

Imagine this game as the most interactive WW2 documentary based on alternate history.

That’s right Ivan this war is yours to wage in any and every way you please. It’s up to you to break history, to burn down cities and forge your destiny.

Rule #1 America always wins

[/list]

It’s simple really. America always wins. Overlooking advantageous geography in the form of two oceanic walls, best bro neighbor to the north and a third world country in the south, America owns the Western Hemisphere.
On top of that she has the industrial capacity of all European nations combined.
This makes the USA its own power block. Anyone you back is guaranteed to win and if you were so inclined could declare war on every country on earth and take World War 2 to the next level.

Once the factories get rolling this is a weeks worth of production. Sorry fascists but you’re all going to die.

Rule #2 Cheating is for winners and the Allies are already doing it anyways.

This is where we break the game.

The book of Genisis strangely left out the fact that god used a command prompt.
On the first day when he filled the heavens and the earth with all manner of physical substances including but not limited to metals, oil, and all other essential war materials he simultaneously pressed

Shift + Tab and typed in these words of power.

metal = 5,000
rare = 5,000
oil = 5,000
energy = 5,000
supplies = 5,000
money = 500 Yes even god needs money.

Then there are reality breaking events that trigger happenings of all sorts.
Such as.

event 1007 = 100 refugees return home or 100 manpower

The Axis and you. Fascism is cool again.

Only German grandpas were called Stoßtruppen.

These are two examples of Nazi’s you might encounter in the game.

ZA RODINU ZA STALINA

I don’t give a ♥♥♥♥ about what your Olga back home told you about staying safe and returning home in one piece. Your great leader Stalin said it best, “Not one step back!”
Accept that YOU’RE HERE TO DIE TOVARISHCH.
It’s not like Russians are people anyways. So run into the bullets. And if you manage to make it all the way to Silesia or Berlin you literally have an entire year of state sanctioned rape of every German female you come across. (no pun intended)

Don’t you ever talk about my motherland like that again!

Land of the Rising Sun

Battleships, battleships, battleships. If you squint your eyes (Japanese are born with this ability) and look at the island of Japan you can see that the land of Nippon is really one gigantic Battleship off the coast of Asia.

Never again will the peoples of Asia feel the humiliation of western subjugation. It is up to you brave soldier of Nippon to purge the land of Gaijin scum and unite the peoples. As they crave to be apart of a Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere

What happens in Manchuria stays in Manchuria

Remember, the Emperor demands your complete sacrifice. Anything less is total dishonor.
