I think we may have had one of these a while back, but I can't locate it...
Anyway, here is a place to put maps showing althistory scenarios achieved through games such as the Civilisation series or the Paradox EU/HoI/Victoria etc. Take with a pinch of ASB.
This is the result of me playing through to 1943 as Britain on the (unmodded) Road to War scenario that comes with Civ4 BTS. It has a few...idiosyncrasies if you play it on open mode (as I did) rather than historical events happening by themselves. For example, France and Italy become mortal enemies because the city of Nice is placed right on their border; they were in the middle of their second war since the game began in 1939 at the time this map shows.
Also Germany did not invade Poland until 1941, and then took the whole of Poland with the USSR doing nothing (which it tends to do even with the historical events on!). The USSR launched the Winter War in 1942 and is doing better than OTL, besieging Helsinki.
The setup simplifies several things by ignoring some countries so I've tried to reflect that on the map. Also Greece/Yugoslavia and Hungary/Romania/Bulgaria are treated as one country, as are Norway/Denmark and the USA starts off the game with Iceland for some reason.
After the Low Countries (also treated as one state in this scenario) rather quixotically attacked France, they got their arses handed to them and were annexed by France.
As for me playing as Britain, I went after "Iberia" (again...) because I kept getting pro-Iberian revolts in Gibraltar (not particularly realistic, that
) and the French scraped up the edges through Cultural Imperialism. I then went after Norway (which includes Denmark) and had just finished conquering it by the time this map was made. Germany finally launched Barbarossa in mid-1943.
Post your own, preferably using a better basemap than this
