I like this. Very simple. Very elegant. I’m going to have to borrow this for our next game. I’m going to make 8 Blue Allied Victory Tokens, 8 red Axis Victory Tokens and 1 Gold Victory Token.
Global 1936 Alternate history scenario (Southern Victory series inspired)

Global 1936 A&A alternate continuing timeline (Southern Victory)
Introduction
Howdy yall!. For starters, this scenario using the HBG Global 1936 map was cooked up by me while watching various alternate history scenarios and reading some books related to the subject and relevant history. As you will no doubt notice, this scenario is quite incomplete, although that is exactly why I am posting what I have so far, (Pls Help). My intention with this scenario is to hone my skills at creating and receiving input from this communinty which I adore. Now right into the scenanrio!
Diplomatic situation
The year is 1936, the rising and exspansionist military powers of Germany, Italy, Japan, USSR and the USA intend to destroy the old global order and usher in a new age for their respective countries. The Axis, consisting of the Germany, Italy, Turkey and the USA, first seek to break the back of the British Empire and her Entente. Wether this humbling of Britain will be acomplished by Iron or Blood remains to be seen. Now before we can continue, we must address the elaphant in the room, YES the USA is a member of the Axis in this scenario. Why may you ask? Well to make a long story short, the CSA won the American civil war in 1861 and has managed to survive all the way till the 1930s with the consistent and infuriating backing of the British and French. Much to the dismay of the Union. Now we must discuss Japan. Japan with her ideas of expanding further onto the Asian mainland has placed herself on a collision course with the western European empires. Japan like the USSR will not begin the game as a member of any alliance, preffering to bide her time on the sidelines and strike at the most critical moment.

Im trying to create a basic framework for the rise of the Axis powers very similar to the one sported by HBGs Global 1936. It is my hope this script will get the ball rolling so to speak. If anyone has any suggestions to improve or expand such a script, please feel free to share.
The Diplomatic script
ROUND 1
Germany annexes Austria
UK and France incomes increase by 1 IPP eachItaly annexes Albania
ROUND 2
Germany annexes Czechoslavakia
UK and France incomes increase by 1 IPP eachItaly may invade Abyasinia
UK income increases by 1 IPP if Italy occupies AbyasiniaJapan may invade China
FEC and ANZAC incomes increase by 1 IPP for every Chinese territory Japan occupies until at war with JapanUSA may invade Mexico
CSA income increases by 1 IPP for every Mexican territory the USA occupies until at war with the USAROUND 3
USA may occupy Cuba
UK and CSA incomes increase by 1 IPP eachROUNDS 4-6
The status quo continues until global war
ROUND 7
WW2 begins, Germany invades Poland and the Entente minus the CSA, declare war on Germany exclusively
The Molotov-Ribontrop pact is signed, Eastern Europe is divided between Germany and the USSR and the USSR agrees to lend-lease Germany 3 oil and 3 iron ore per turn until they are at war
If Germany captures Paris, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Venazeula, and Argentina become pro-Axis
Italy and Turkey may join the Axis at their descretion from now on
ROUND 8
The USA and Japan may sign the Pacific Mutual Security Pact, stipulating the USA will cede the Phillipines, Guam, Wake and Midway island to Japan and the USA promises to lend-lease Japan 3 oil and 3 iron ore per turn until either power is defeated, the game ends, or if “Japan leaves the Axis”* at a later date. Japan and the USA then must declare war on the Entente jointly. The CSA will then join the Entente and declare war on the USA.
*Japan may leave the Axis and act as a free-agent after round 12, this allows to Japan to attack any power and make peace on their own without the consent of their allies.

Here is the map I am using for the scenario, starting setup. (Base map is Global 1936 by HBG)
-
Very nice. Truly beautiful.
Quite insane and crazy, but probably only because I never played Global 1936.
-
For the national objectives though, what are the numbers on the left of each national objective? Sorry if that’s just a Global 1936 thing I’m unaware of.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Hello, thank you for you’re comment, those numbers are the victory point values of each National Objective (NOs).

AXIS VICTORY!
After a long and bloody world war, the Axis have obtained total victory over the Allied powers. The war got started off with a bang, the American, German, and Japanese navies launched a global cordinated attack on the British fleets. The British fleet within the span of just 3 rounds (18 months), was decimated. With this great victory, the Axis ruled the waves for the rest of the war. With Allied shipping cut off across the globe, the Axis where able to launch multiple naval invasions against the British Empire, dismantling the empire completly by the end of round 10 (5 years). The Soviet Union did not fare much better, with the Axis invasion of the USSR supported by large American bomber fleets and exstensive lend-lease to the Germans, the Russian war effort was doomed to fail. Although the Axis have emerged victorious, the end of conflict will be short. With the German conquest of Russia, American occupation of Britain, and the Japanese dominance over China and southeast Asia, room for contention and strife has erupted amongst the ranks of the Axis. All three superpowers, the United States, and the Japanese and German Empires have turned against one another and are already mobalizing for the next global war…
-
I thought you said each one was worth 5.
-
Where do Italy and Turkey sit? Is the Ottoman Empire restored? Thank you!
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato In total, all National Objectives of each nation are worth 5 Victory Points combined.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato The Ottoman Empire is not yet restored at the beginning of the game, although that is effectively Turkeys objective throughout the game. The restoration of their old empire.
-
Makes sense now. Thank you!
-
I mean in the game you’re playtesting now, did the Turks restore the empire? Thank you!
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Yes, Turkey was not only able to restore their old empire, but was also able to conquer all of Iran, parts of Russia and India. As for Italy, they where able to dominate the Med and occupy much of its coastal territories.
-
Nice, not just the World War 1 empire but the glory days centuries ago.

@ButterSurge hello! I am a Global War 36 player, i am interested in trying this scenario out but, id like to limitations on when things happen. One of the things i like about global war is that the axis can attack and declare war as they please, which puts a fun spin it the game in my opinion. With that being said, have you done a test game without the set time declarations?
