ORIGINAL: Andy Mac ps as always feedback if anyone is actually playing it is always welcome Understanding that the Ironman Nasty is a fantasy world (wonderful game, and challenging, I am in Feb ’42 and loving it!) Just to make the nasty- NASTY. (Please note, I am not trying to make any political statements here, just adding more nasty to the nasty) You could: 1-Have a brigade of German-American Bund appear on December 7 along the eastern US railroad route. Historically the German-American Bund was dying off before Pearl Harbor and the attack was its death knell before being outlawed at the end of the month. However, in 1939 there were over 2,000 members in the “security” (i.e. brown shirts) apparatus. For this game scenario it would be assumed they did not lose membership after the war had started in Europe, but instead got even more supportive of Germany and actively tried to start a partisan war to coincide with the Pearl Harbor attack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_Bund 2-Have two Japanese infantry divisions, sans artillery, just “appear” on the west coast of the US in February 1942 anywhere from San Francisco to San Diego either in a group or driblets of brigades in various areas. This would reflect people refusing to be relocated and offering armed resistance to the US round-up of 100K plus of US citizens of Japanese ancestry. (Historically, there was no resistance, and these people were in fact exceptionally loyal US citizens, but heck, this is a fantasy scenario.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment 3-Indian National Army (INA). Have this organization set to “appear” in up to two division strength in India 90 days after the fall of Singapore. This would reflect an infiltration of troops that switched sides after the fall of Singapore (which is where the INA got its initial boost), but instead of forming a conventional army- they infiltrate back to India and organize partisan level army units. Didn’t happen in reality (duh), but, it’s within the concept of the fantasy scenario and what they hey, gives some of those restricted units in India something for the player to play with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Army Just some wild and wacky ideas, because you asked. No politics here, just some outlandish thoughts on how to explain some really weird places to have units show-up. Keep up the good work. Thank you for your efforts.
