Splitting east coast on line of mason dixon line?
And DPRK will take role of Japan and Germany.. Split it with saddam and Bin laden.
I just realized that I actually have a full collection of Man in the High Castle Remakes. I Don't have a War on Terror remake, because I couldn't decide between Saddam or Bin Laden, so I set it in modern day and used ISIS.
Here is the collection if you are curious: https://metalheadjohn.deviantart.com/gallery/61226893/Man-in-the-High-Castle-Remakes
I'm in the process of thinking of ideas for a Communist Man in the High Castle. I have pretty much all my ideas, but in the mean time, Here is a Warhammer 40k version of Band of Brothers idea I had. Basically some Imperial Guardsmen (Cadian Expies) fight in mortal combat against the Tau.
So here is my Idea for a Communist Version of Man in the High Castle. Rather than give you a link, I shall simply tell you the backstory right here:
Basically, the World is divided between the Warsaw Pact, Dominated by the Soviet Union, and the Maoist Alliance, Dominated by China. The Sino-Soviet split occurs and the two states are now in a cold war, but they are still considered Allies, and Stalin (yes, he is still alive in this TL) doesn't want to risk losing everything in a war (a modified form of Socialism in One country).
The show is set in 1973, and takes place mainly in Washington D.C and Los Angeles. One of the more popular characters being Commissar Jake Schmidt, A former US Army soldier hailing from a poor family, who had troubles in the old America, due to his Brother being accused of being a Commie (which he was), so he was generally supportive of the new regime. Unfortunately, His son is beginning to die of a disease that has no cure, as the USSR has done little research on Diseases or Vaccines in this TL. Another popular character is Minister Chang, a Commerce minister from China who oversees many operations in the Maoist Communes of America. Most other characters are similar to their Canon Counterparts.
Season 2 is when the action picks up. Josef Stalin dies and his death is blamed on Chinese Assassins as part of an attempt to seize power. A radical faction in the NKVD wants to go to war with the Chinese, seeing them as being in the way of the World Revolution, and wanna Let fly the Nukes! You see, in this timeline, the Chinese Nuclear Program was slowed down by...Something, so the Chinese only have conventional weapons. However, Chang has traveled to OTL 1973 and seen newsreports about things like The 'Nam and nuclear tests, and he believes that these tapes could stop the war.

So an idea came to mind: What if I combined War of the Worlds Goliath with Pacific Rim's Plot? well here it is:
It all started in 1898, when the first Tripod landed in Woking, devastating Southern England before being brought down by artillery. Initially it was believed this was a onetime thing, and the world moved on, only with better technology, but then another Tripod landed in Portugal, devastating Lisbon (something to note is that the Martians are not weak to bacteria here). And when another Martian landed in British India, the Great Powers realized that the Martians were gonna keep on coming, and decided to improve their armies. The Great Powers met at Vienna and signed a treaty that would unite them, and a plan was made: they would reverse-engineer the Martian Tripods to create their own Steampunk Super-weapons. Initially, the plan worked. It turns out that the Martians were not so good when it came to fighting their own Technology, and over time, the danger of the Martians exterminating mankind was replaced with propaganda glorifying the Great Powers. But then things changed.
The Year is 1918, and a Martian Cylinder has landed in Northern Scotland, resulting in Edward Wells and his brother being called in to fight (the Earth Tripods are massive, but about as complex as OTL Renault FTs). The fight is initially going for them, but then the Martian reveals that it has Tentacles, and uses them to rip their pod apart, killing the brother. Edward discovered first-hand that the Martians had been slowly improving their Tripods to fight the Human Pods, and more and more Human Tripods are starting to be lost in combat to the Martians. The Great Powers decide that the Tripod program is just too expensive, and begin making plans to Wall-off their major cities. Despite this theory being debunked when the Melbourne wall in Australia is ripped apart when a Martian cylinder flies through, the governments continue to fund the program.
Edward is called back to duty in Germany, where he meets several other teams: Ana and Otto from Austria-Hungary (piloting one of the Oldest Tripods still operational), the Strasse Brothers from Germany (who pilot one of the Newest Tripods in operation), and Billy and Stuart (who pilot a British Tripod that was made in Australia. An ANZAC Tripod I guess?). Meanwhile, Edward ends up working with a new partner from Paris, France, named Eliane, a young girl who lost her parents to the Martians, and now wants revenge, and she speaks basic English. Edward and the others are piloting some of the last tripods to fight against the Martians in Germany to defend the construction of the Hamburg Wall (was gonna go with Berlin for Pun, but changed my mind).
After learning more about the Martians plans, Edward and Eliane (and her Guardian's Team) decide to take the fight to Mars. A group of Elite scientists have created a Superbomb which they intend to use to destroy the Cannon that the Martians are using to send reinforcements to Earth.
Thats all I got. Any ideas for the Battlefield 1/Warhammer 40k idea I suggested?

Would it be about imperial guard only or astartes get a spotlight as well?
Episode 1: Through Mud and Blood
It deals with a crew of leman russ battle tank.
Episode 2: Friends in high Places
About Phantine Air corps?

I was thinking the Imperial Guard would get the main focus, but the Space Marines could be a special class that you play as when you get enough points I guess.
