This too.
God, was it really Map Thread VII that I first posted in?
I know how you feel. When I joined, it was Map Thread VI.

I like where this is going.Hmm, new map thread. I remember when I came in, we were only on Map Thread II. I feel old.
But I suppose I can show you a preview of the latest map I'm working on. I'm just making it cleaner and more Wikipedia-esque now.
And if I joined earlier, I could say the same as well...I know how you feel. When I joined, it was Map Thread VI.
From west to east, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3:30.
(Also, I swear I'd completed the main portion of this map before d32123's recent Europe map. I'm not stealing from him, I promise!)

With Lend-Lease warships backing them up and the express blessing and aid of WAllies' naval forces (as the war was very slow to wind down and the Allies wanted Japan dealt with ASAP even if they had to work with what they knew to be the bigger threat to do it; and more importantly, the Russians were willing to give it a shot, whereas the US and UK were having trouble getting Downfall going)- difficult, but doable.Oh my premise was far from original.
I doubt that the Soviets would be able to launch an invasion of the Home Islands.
Manitoba-Ontario border is terribly convergent.
Just do whatever you want pretty much. A huge amount of land between Lake Superior and Winnipeg was disputed by Manitoba and Ontario.Had no idea what else to do with it honestly.
In the request thread we somewhat discussed the fact that the Marianas trench would be almost 2 miles higher than Everest OTL.
I assume a lot of the world would be in deserts, and whatever you call the giant thing that used to be the Atlantic's mountain range would be a pretty amazing gorge.
How do we explain the former Aral Island, now Archipelago?
Lighter red indicates Soviet puppet governments; red with outline indicates areas the Soviets are administrating themselves without middlemen.
Continued from here.
I'm sure it is. And that's not sarcastic.Yes!
I'm fixing a nice ASB map for y'all.
It's weird and wonderful.
The legitimate government-in-exile never returned (Poland, Czechia, Jugoslavia, Greece, *Prussia/Kaliningrad/Danzig, and the Baltic states have GoEs in London), and the puppet government experienced something akin to the Polish and Hungarian 1956 revolts. (There's also a big difference between what happened in Czechoslovakia- a very light occupation with an eye to hand over power to puppets as soon as they become readily available) and, for instance, Poland (where the Soviets are doing basically everything they can to break the Poles' will, up to and including giving special leeway to the remaining Germans- even the remaining Junker aristocrats- across northern Poland and the vaguely Prussian state- to more-or-less keep the Poles down. See, the Poles managed to really tick off Stalin.)What happened to Czechoslovakia to end up like that?
I like where this is going.
My work-in-progress: the same world as my previous Kurdistan map and these UN flags, and again, only a work-in-progress, but most certainly the general ideas are all there.

World War II goes differently; D-Day fails and the July Bomb Plot succeeds, but the Soviets still crash through Europe. Manhatten are severely delayed, and Japan is starved out, surrendering late in 1945 after the Soviets land on Hokkaido. The map shows the state of the world around 1948 or so.
Red dots indicate areas with a strong Communist party.
Lighter red indicates Soviet puppet governments; red with outline indicates areas the Soviets are administrating themselves without middlemen.
Last, but not least, 1971! 100+ years since the POD!
