It's official

World War 2, starting in 43 instead of 39. Poland and Lithuania accepting the territorial and armaments proposals that the Third Reich actually made with the countries. The Russo-German war starting as an expansion of the Winter War with Poland as an Axis ally. Romania and Japan enter as the handwriting appears on the wall. With no campaign in the Balkans and North
Africa a larger Italian expeditionary force joins the Anti-Commintern crusade. July 42 Soviet state negotiates a cease-fire after the capital is moved to Kubichev and Stalin is assassinated by an "overdose" of nitrous oxide during dental surgery. Wallies declare war in response to German conquest of Denmark and Norway (the latter attacked from both German bases on the North Sea coast and Murmansk. The Fall of France 1942 (boxed??) takes place between September and an armistice at the end of October. Britain stands alone.

The Long War background covers a global conflict starting in 43 and ending perhaps in 1951. Plenty of opportunity to for new and different matchups of historical units and weapon types, as well as the completed production of German, British, American and Japanese projected ship projects.
