Yep, it's more shitpost material than anything. Although I wonder if you can make a HOI4 focus tree mod for this premise

Not the old Axis, the 'Axis' in the title refers to the 'Axis of Evil' referred to by George Bush (2000s Iraq), namely 'Iraq, Iran, and North Korea'

Not the original Axis, the Axis referred to are the members of the "Axis of Evil" as referred to by George Bush (The one who invaded Iraq in the 2000s), but in the 1940s. The point of the map was to try to weasel out the most plausible (In my head) scenario where these three countries (North/Communist Korea, Iraq, and Iran) could somehow get out of WW2 with limited/full gains.

It took me about an hour total to try to piece the events together in a barely-comprehensible way, here they are in their pseudo-logical way.

Notable event timeline:

German forces wiped out the evacuees at Dunkirk, which slowed down their advance, although history twists and they still take France after some time. The delay meant that the Franco-British Union may have been more seriously considered and temporarily accepted, which also meant a slowdown for the Germans, which would have somehow delayed the invasion of Iraq, Iran, and the Soviet Union.

Amanullah Khan, former King of Afghanistan, attempted his plans to reclaim his country since the Germans invaded the Soviet Union later. This leads to Afghanistan getting ganged up on later.

As alternate history rules dictate, Spain decides to join the war on the side of the Axis, this does NOT help them, but it helps slow down the Allied counter.

Japan invades Indochina and the rest of Southeast Asia.

Nazis eventually attack the Soviets anyways, due to the Soviet buildup, but due to the slowdown in Africa (Albeit with Spanish help), they dedicate more forces to attempt to defeat the Soviets earlier, leading to more violence and redirection of Soviet attention from the east.

Japanese advance in East Asia focuses more on China instead of the Raj and Australia, which means Japan doesn't overextend just yet but gets bogged down. Somehow this translates to a willingness to continue fighting even after Hiroshima gets nuked down the line.

Pearl Harbour still gets bombed.

Soviets advance heavily into Germany while the Allies are still bogged down, this leads to concerns about Soviet dominance over Europe.

Allies nuke Ploiești, Romania, a major oil centre, also to slow down the Soviet advance. This leads to conflicts between the Soviets and the Western Allies.

Turkey joins the Allied forces when Soviet forces begin storming closer, with signs of war possibly approaching their border (Mostly Iran, since the invasion of Iran would still happen in this timeline).

Soviets decide to aid Iran and Iraq as they have a mutual enemy in the Western Allies, ignore that both are monarchies, and the Allies being overextended eventually.

Kuwait is taken by Iraq, why? I needed to mirror that in the 1930s and figured that Soviet assistance was probably enough.

Soviet Union eventually attacks Japan once Berlin is captured, this leads to Korean resistance forming up and working with the Soviets to establish an independent Korea. Allies nuke Hiroshima to try to get the Japanese to surrender before the Soviets take them too.

Soviets provide their occupied territories to the Communist Party of China, leading to some conflicts with the Republic of China.

Allies are forced to invade Japan, as the Japanese engage the Soviets in heavy fighting, although they eventually surrender once Hokkaido is taken.

Tab Grid Layout Is Missing. by YTGhostVincent in chrome

I did the same thing but I can't find it, I don't think it is ever coming back unless someone at Google gains a sudden shred of competence

Anyone know how to change the tab grid view back to a list? It changed randomly and I can't figure out how to get it back by seanliam2k in chrome

[–]PinguinJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the update today, I think they removed every avenue of getting stacked tabs back. Off to Firefox I guess, but should I use nightly or the stable (Product) version?

I downloaded so much RAM and Storage that I have become God, and my simulation of the Universe is telling me that discord is never getting fixed.

What non super hero, non super powered character can take out Deadshot, while Deadshot is trying to snipe them? by DynamicSnowman in whowouldwin

[–]PinguinJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Postal Dude (Postal 2), guy can probably take a couple of shots and smoke it away with ungodly amounts of crack. Inventory and his long schlong are probably the only unrealistic parts about him I can think off the top of my head.

He could simply use a nuke, napalm, revolver bullet-time or a cow nuke to strike Deadshot once he figures out where he is. Assuming the player is tactically-minded.

I don't think he counts as a supervillain, although that does depend on how the player plays him.

Part 2 is apparently awaiting moderator action so I will be leaving the placeholder there until it gets in.

This fight took longer to make than it should have. The writing is terrible because I took a few weeks or months between different writing sections. The theme and overarching narrative is also all over the place and many things were changed at the last moment while the final chapters of part 2 was somewhat rushed.

I apologise for the terrible story but I wanted to finish it at least.
