[@warmaps78]

In the end, German navy degraded down to only 1 of its Carriers, and 1 Battleship. UK had 2 Carriers and 1 Battleship, USA 4 Carriers and 4 Battleships. Also correction for the subtitles, it wasn't "Curland" but "Courland"! Thanks for watching!

[@TheStonewall117]

It’s times like this I wish the game had a better diplomatic system to resolve futile conflicts, as there really would be no way for the Allies to take Europe back after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Eventually the Axis’s would’ve gotten nukes too, and it would literally be Armageddon.

I don't think the Germans would like to have peace after every city was blown up

There should be more decisions in the game like the one that forces Japan to Surrender after all their outlying islands are taken, their navy destroyed and have two nukes dropped on them.

Well d-day in this world will have 45% to be succesful because axis casualties are around 42 million but the only problem is the *nukes* that will be the reasion why d day will not gonna happened

Agreed, Irl it would have turned into a Cold War like standing where the two sides would try to destroy each other through proxy wars and economic policies. Just instead of the iron curtain you'd have the Atlantic wall and fascist puppet states instead of communists.

This is probably the best AI only timelapse I've seen. +100m casualties, some plot twists and a continuous feeling of not knowing what's going to happen. Congratulations.

When the rebellions occurred I thought Germany was finished especially with the Soviet offensive but they turned it around somehow.
