I'm sorry if the flag seems 'Politicaly Incorrect' but in this game the Nazis conquer the United Kingdom, and make their Eastern Boarder the Volga River in Russia. The Italians conquer North Africa. And the Levant also falls to the Axis. There are only two flags left: the Communist Underground which rebels when Hitler dies in Northern Britain, and the East; and the Rome-Belin Axis.
Only 1/3 of Germans voted for the Nazi Party. The Communist MP's were scared away. The Catholic Centre Party was dissolved to save Priest's being persecuted. The Social Democratic Party Headquarters had moved to Prague. And two Members of the Junker Prussian Upper Class Party were forced to serve in Hilter's Cabinet.
Try the PC Strategy Game Axis and Allies by Hasbro Interactive to play the Second World War as the British Empire and Allies, Rome-Berlin Axis, the Soviet Union, the United States of America, or the Empire of Japan.
The Riechstag has now been replaced by the Bundestag in Berlin with a glass dome made by a British Architect.
In the Game there is a Communist Uprising in Northern Britain, and the East when Hitler dies of Old Age. Communism makes a very good War Government. But is slow at inventing new Technology. And has little Money for Foreign Adventures.
What would have happened if the Third Reich had won the war? It isn't so unlikely:
Germans did not regard England as their natural enemy.
The United Kingdom joined to European Economic Community. And only wanted Free Trade, with Trade Laws drafted by the European Parliament. Not 'ever closer Union'. And most British people want to keep the Pound Sterling - especially now.
If the Spanish - the Axis Fascist 'Allies' had occupied Gibraltar and Morocco they would have closed off the western Mediterranean to British reinforcements for Egypt and a possible American landing, then North Africa, the Suez canal and the Middle East would have fallen to the Axis.
If Turkey had joining Germany and Central Europe in the war as she did in the First World War she would have reoccupied her old Ottoman Empire territories. Thus cutting off an oil supply for the British and gaining one for the Axis. Hitler regarded Turkey as his Ally, so did not attack them.
If the German southern army had attacked Baku first instead of Stalingrad, thus gaining a much needed oil supply and cutting off Allied supplies to Russia which arrived via Persia and the Caucasus. They really needed 4 Armies, one for Baku, and one for Stalingrad. Hilter wanted the Volga River at Stalingrad (or Volgagrad as it now is) to be his Eastern Boarder.
If the Axis had more time to develop a nuclear bomb.
If Japan had attacked Russia in the East when Germany attacked her in the West. Eastern troops then would have been unavailable to fight in the West and supplies from Siberia would have been cut off. Also if she hadn't attacked the United States the anti-war lobby would have kept America out of the War. When America did join the war, 90% of the war effort went not against Japan but against the Axis as they were perceived rightly as the greater threat. But also because the American Pacific fleet was wiped out were as the Atlantic fleet was still very much operational. Whole new factories were built in California to build a new fleet, one of the reasons why this state is now so economically powerful.
The Shinto Spirit made sure the Empire of Japan did not attack Stalin's soviet Union. As they would have lost. They could have bombed Vladivostok and gone up the trans-Siberian Railroad. But it would have been dug up, and the Partisans would have retreated into the woods for protection, and made surpise attacks. Actually the Soviet Union joined the Allies at the end of the War, and took territory from northern China, and the Kuril Islands in northern Japan. A little Territory has been returned to China by the Russian Federation, on 1 1/2 Islands on a boarder river.
Well now you can find out. The Axis dominates Europe but Civil War is about to break out, will Democracy triumph, will another power replace them or will the Third Reich indeed 'last a thousand years'? Only YOU can decide!

Hi!
This is the readme file of the Civ2 "The Reich" scenario.
It is created by Achim Voß, Arnsberg, Germany.
"The date is February, 1962.
In this time line, Hitler has made it to conquer Europe and Russia with
the help of Turkey and Japan and support from Spain.
He has never gone to war with the USA and so a cold war has developed.
One month ago (January 1962), Hitler died and Goering, at the age of 69,
has taken his place.
But in comparison to Hitler, he is too weak and riots break out,
splitting the Reich."
(This is the background story of this alternate history scenario)
The scenario is based on the fascism patch (I have only included altered
rules with three altered tribes) and the original WWII scenario.
Directly when the scenario begins, a barbarian unit captures the Axis
capital, Berlin. So the Reich splits...
As I say in the introduction: Don't take the Axis - they are not to be played by human players (because the Reich don't split then).
The map, the rules and this text file may only be published together
as a Zip-file. Mail me if you want to use it for anything (or upload it
on your site) or for feedback.
Condensed Readme2 by the Author
You enjoy playing the original WWII scenario included in Civ2, and now
you wonder how it would have gone on if the Axis had won?
You have read or watched "Fatherland", but it was too boring for you?
So try this scenario - I am sure you'll not regret that!
It took some time until the scenario reached the quality it has now, and
I didn't do it alone. I really have to thank
David Ledgard, and I
recommend you to visit his Website. (You're already here right? ;-) )
The scenario, rules and of course the readme file are created by Achim
Voß, Arnsberg, Germany. The units.gif and the cities.gif files were
mainly created by David Ledgard.
