How the hell did Germany end up with Dutch New Guinea?! :eek:

Even though I'm beginning to find this game more and more implausible and honestly believe it should be in the ASB forums, here's a better map. The current one hurts my eyes and it seems to do the same to others.

The only reason I gave Germany Dutch New Guinea was because in the map I was using, East New guinea was split in two. One half British, the Other German.

October 31st:

Germany gains a lot of ground in France before being stopped at the Marne. Trenches are dug and battle, again, commences. In the East it is stalemate on the Polish-Baltic front. In order to break the deadlock, the German navy lands Marines in Finland and soon Helsinki is under occupation. AH have a fast advance into Russia and are given support by an old rival, Italy sent an Expeditionary Force whilst not declaring war.

The Turks are pushed out of the Caucasus and Russian gains are made in Turkey. The Belgians Brutally attack German East Africa, burning down several villages and killing the men and children whilst raping the women. The Japanese push the Chinese in Korea back to the border and land near Vladivostock, capturing it.

Sorry, I couldn't respond before this, I was busy. I'll try to respond to stuff in order.

1.It's okay that it started on July 5. Actually, maybe it should start a bit later (I think mobilization takes more than 5 days)

2. I believe that I said in the OP, that if it's in the wrong forum, then you can move it or get an admin to.

3. New map is good. Keep using that.

4. The premise is not ASB. I had a discussion on this forum about this POD at this link.

Whether the stuff already put up is ASB, is in debate. I am most dubious about the stuff in Asia, and there being a repeat of the Marne on October 31. Plus, Italy supporting the Central Powers, when it was Germany that attacked first. (ala WW1 Hope I'm not accidentally foreshadowing something.)

A few things:

1. The aggressor, at least on the Eastern Front, is still debatable, and so Italy decided to give its ally the benefit of the doubt.

2. I know that (and St. Petersburg was called Petrograd at the time), but Moscow was still a major city.

November 20:

With the onset of winter, major offensive operations cease on the Western Front.

Russian reinforcements are able to limit the area seized by Japanese forces around Vladivostock, but Japanese forces in Korea and Vladivostock are able to link up.

The German Naval Landing in Helsinki is forced back into the ocean, but it is the first real crisis on the Russian High Command, about where to send much needed reinforcements, because to do this, they had pull forces from the Caucasus Front, allowing the Turks to regain some ground.

America reelects President Roosevelt, on a preparation platform. This means, America willl be ready for war, but will not join unless instigated to do so.

German East Africa is fully occupied by the Belgians.

December 21st

Austria launches an offensive towards the Crimea and it ends in victory, with small Austrian casualties and the capture of Sevastapol.
The Russian winter now firmly sets in, particuarly on the German lines where more men are killed by the cold than the enemy. Most of the millitary actions everywhere stop, apart from Asia and the Ottoman front.
The Turks reach the pre-war border after an all out attack on the small Russian forces that are left on the front.
The French deploy Colonial soldiers from Indochina in order to assisst the Chinese but the superior Japanese army wipe out the opposition and begin to steamroll their way through the poorly equiped and trained Chinese.
In London, Dutch refugees battle with British-Germans on the streets and the French, angry at the UK's refusal to declare war, run guns to Irish nationalists.

17th-25th February 1909.
due to a suprisingly early start to spring, campaigning picks up again. the Russians, after a month long build up, push back the Austrians. the Germans, however, manage to move forward slightly. on the Western front, the French with a mighty effort, retake a small amount of land. this was mostly due to the fact that the Germans were now trying to knock the Russians out of the war, to free up their troops in the east. The French, along with the Belgian government in exile, plead with the British to join the war, even going so far as to offer all of germanies colonies if they win. on the Caucasus Front, the Ottomans advance somewhat, but are halted by the russian forces clever use of the terrain.

10-23 February, 1909

A french cruise liner is sunk off the Bay of Biscay, and 23 British citizens are killed. The results n the British commencing naval operations against the German navy, saying that they will enforce freedom of the seas. That the Germans had given warning about this possible event occurring is ignored. This leads to an undeclared naval war against Germany.

In Europe, the French are finally able to get through the German positions in Alsace-Loraine, but they are unable to make a deep penetration.

The Austrian and Ottomans attempt a cooperative offensive to capture the Black Sea. The offensive doesn't have much beginning success, with skillful use of terrain by the Russians against the Ottomans, and the Austrians are checked by Russian forces hurriedly redeployed from Finland.

In Asia, the Chinese are able to hold the Japanese advance, but with large losses in manpower.
