Description

November 1942, the Axis Powes are at the height of their power. The world has been fighting a bloody war for 3 years now (6 in Ruthenia) between the Axis Powers (comprised of the Aenglish Raikh under Aetheldorf Hiller, the Kingdom of Illyria under Benite Muczini and the Empire of Anatolia under Emperor Hirocratos) and the Allies (led by the triple alliance of José Esalín's UJSR, the German Empire under prime minister Walter Kirchekrank, and the United Arab States under Falaqin Rusev).

In Asia, the war started back in 1936 when Anatolia declared war on Ruthenia over an incident on the Kuban river, rapidly seizing their coast of the Black Sea and pushing up the Yellow and Blue rivers, capturing the imperial capital of Sarking and then the republican capital of Nankhov. In Europe, the Aenglish Raikh was founded when Aetheldorf Hiller took power after winning the elections under his Social Nationalist party (Zoni party). The fundament of his party was restoring Aenglish pride and reconquering former territories, aswell as expanding towards what he called as the "Livingroom" to the south. He considered Mediterraneans (specially Hispanics) inferior and worthy of extermination. Initially both Gaul and Germany allowed him to peacefully annex the Westrian Republic, and they signed an accord with him hanging over the Scots territory of the south. However Hiller broke the accord and invaded the rest of Scotland, creating the Protectorate of Albania and Pictia.

Finally, on September 1st he invaded Eireland attempting to connect with the enclave of West Ulsteria. Gaul and Germany said enough, and declared war to Hiller's Aenglia. Juntist forces invaded the southern tip of the island after the secret Montoro-Riverside pact, but the Allies did not declare war to Esalín's UJSR. Eireland was swiftly crushed and partitioned, with Hiller creating the General Government of Eireland to the south. Then he proceeded to secure his flank and assure Aengland continued receiving the precious iron ore from Sweden, then under the leadership of Frankirk. Icemark fell in a matter of hours, but the Normarkian campaign extended for months as the Aenglish lacked the cappabilities to dislodge them from Ernvik, which would fall on June 1940.

Gaulish planners expected an Aenglish landing right in Normandy in order to seize Lutetia rapidly and end the war, but they were completely surprised when on May 8th Aenglish forces stormed the beaches of Belgium and Holland, advancing south towards Brussels and the Meuse, splitting the Gauls from the Germans. The Gaulish army was crippled and lacked mobility compared to the Aenglish. Lutetia fell without a fight, and the Aenglish stablished a puppet regime in Dijon, while the empire fell into civil war between the forces loyal to the Republic and those loyal to Dijon. Aengland annexed the claimed area of Flandes-Neustria and proceeded to attack Germany. The lands to the Rhine fell swiftly, but it took the Aenglish thousands of casualties to cross the Rhine, only to be pushed back in the south as their air force was starting to dwindle. The war became static, as German industry had been razed and Aenglia began to focus on other matters.

Illyria stabbed Gaulish forces in Padania, and attacked both Hella and the Kingdom of Zapadoslavia. Aenglish forces had to assist them and Muczini achieved his goal of liberating Rome from the Slavic pest. Magyaria and Pannonia sided with the Axis, further hampering the German war effort. In Africa a stalemate ensued between the Aenglo-Illyrians and the Germans, who also occupied Gaulish Algeria. On June 22nd 1941, the war extended to Esalín's UJSR as over a million Aenglish soldiers stormed the Pyrenees and landed on the northern coast, aided by the Lusis who wanted to recapture their lost territory. The invasion quickly conquered Iberia after the disastrous battle of Saragossa, where the Juntists lost over 600,000 men. Toledo, however, held the attacks, while the southern city of Leonarda was sieged by a combined Aenglo-Lusi force.

On December 7th 1941, Anatolia bombed the Arab air base at Damietta and launched a brutal campaign against Gaulish, Hollandish and German possessions in the east, quickly capturing most the territory and only being stopped in Palestine. Due to the harsh desert climate, the war became mostly static and aerieal, with few advances. Meanwhile, Hiller ordered Case Blue to start, launching a swift campaign from Edetania into Betica, reaching the sea and the important city of Esalina. The war now stands still, with both sides attempting to tip the balance to their favour, but it seems the war could take years to end...
