DLC Idea: Germany Vs. Japan

Just an idea here. If Germany and Japan had won the war. Wouldn't it seem feasible they would eventually turn against each other? I think it would be a fun campaign to play. A final face-off for true world domination.

You could make the claim that in 1943 Germany with successes at Kursk and Lenningrad could keep pushing the Soviets back all the way into Siberia and potentially meet up with the Japanese pushing in from northern Manchuria after breaking their secret non aggression pact with the USSR. At that point in this "what if" situation you could choose to either have your German corps turn on your so called Axis Ally and clear them out of Manchuria, or possibly swing far south and even attack the Commie Chinese and the American forces assisting them against the Japanese.

I say go for it. The more scenario's the more game play. We can't lose.

Such campaign would have to be massive in scope, and we're far, FAR from done with covering stuff that actually happened.
Even then, I'd first like to see - if we're talking hypothetical - stuff like Operation Sealöwe or even a US invasion.
Or stuff from a non-german perspective.

Honestly, something that far out will - in my opinion - have to be covered by modders instead. Since all the tools are at your disposal, why don't you make it?

I agree it could have been plausible. Germany would need years to build up a navy to confront Japan at sea though.

Hitler actually wanted Japan to attack Russia simultaneously to open up a 2 front war for Russia. Only when the paranoid Stalin was sure of no Japanese attack in the East did he move his Eastern forces to the West to confront Hitler's blitzkrieg. I also believe it was Patton who wanted to continue East and confront Russia on the battlefield. Of course there was many German soldiers who would be willing to assist the western allies against Russia.

Rezaf If only I had the time and patience to create scenarios and campaigns! However I am willing to pay for all the additional content that is for sale.

Does that mean modded content too? Just want to know here if there's a chance the modding community can get rich in the foreseeable future....

Well I'm sure they won't get rich just from me. But It would be nice to be able to enjoy other creative scenarios from the modding community.
