(Continuing off my last post) Our forces decide to return back to the Mainland, thinking the threat is over. They send a scout party out and declared the area safe. However, a huge storm struck us while in the middle of our travels.
Casualties: 40 (14 dead, 24 injured, all other casualties missing)
At this rate they'll be none of us left.
The RNS sets up metal storms around several points of Kazakhstan's and Morocco's borders and launch a small satellite to tell the metal storms if anything is approaching.
If anybody doesn't know what a metal storm is: It is the fastest firing automatic gun which is fired by electric signals instead of pistons and has ALOT of barrels, being able to fire millions of rounds per minute and destroy warheads over a long distance.
FIrst off, that's OP for ~ 1960's Tech, secondly..
A scout party sees a big, white, balloon, that seems to have drifted near our area. Maps of the area from previous years are used to pinpoint where it was at, and a few skilled mathematicians use rudimentary wind maps, and see it came from the general direction of Malay and Vietnam. (Big move, counts as two actions.)
As a result, we send around 15 well-equipped soldiers, PPSHs and a few good drums of ammo, and begin to head in the general direction, on a mission to establish contact with whoever's there.
(Continuing off my past post) The remaining villagers rebuilt the destroyed villages. All is well, so far.
In the Middle East, somewhere around the Dead Sea, a group of people rise up and declare that they shall bring back the former glory of the Middle East. Of Persia, Mesopotamia, the Egyptians (yes I know Egypt isn't part of the Middle East, deal with it)
They unite a series of small villages across the shore of the Dead Sea. After an exploration party was sent out to discover new land, they find a group of Axis and Allied soldiers, that seemed to have made peace with eachother after the war ended. They were composed of around 12 Italian soldiers; 17 British troops; 8 French soldiers; 19 German S.S. troops. They were glad to join us, after hearing that there was food, water and other stuff in our homeland.
After around 1 month, another exploration party was sent out to Jerusalem. The jewish population that wasn't killed by the nazis where happy to join us. Now our Republic spreads from Jerusalem to some villages in Jordan.
Now, 3 Branches were established, the eastern exploration branch, composed of former-allied forces which will be sent towards Iraq and Syria to explore and take new land; the western exploration branch, composed of former-axis soldiers which will be sent to explore the Sinai Peninula and get a foothold on the Medditeranian Coastline; and the homeland branch, which will deal with internal administration and scientific research.
Now, the western branch has reached the Medditeranian. The water of the Sea will be able to feed our populaton with fish, and after a series of boats were sent to explore the rest of the Sea, they reach Cyprus, where they find the motherload.
Apperantly the British were supposed to attack the Dodencanese Islands and weaken Italy's grasp on the Eastern Medditeranian. They find a small fraction of the invasion force, that somehow wasn't destroyed by Axis bombardment:
- 72 BAR assault rifles
- 16 M4 rifles
- 6 Sherman tanks
- 2 Cromwell tanks
- 4 Spitfires
The expedition forces also found some of the pilots and soldiers that should have been put in charge of the invasion, they were glad to join us.
The eastern branch has reached Baghdad, where they find the city in ruins. The small population of refugees that lived on the outer walls of the city were very unhappy from us disturbing them and soon attacked. Our forces were well prepared for combat and the defenders of the city soon fell. My nation now spreads from the Medditeranian coast to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
The homeland branch has created a radio, it looks ugly and is very inefficient, however it works, and with time it will be perfected. They leave a message to the rest of the world, saying: "To anyone listening to this frequency, in the Middle East, we have a great kingdom, away from the violence and barbarianism of other tribes you may encounter, we have food, water, anything neccesary for life. To anyone listening to this, the Anti-Hitler Commonwealth is born. Come join us." The message is simply left on a loop, and with time, we hope that someone will respond...
Current population: 12.000
A soldier found the journal of a former soldier, it holds information about how the war started, however appears to be very vague.
27 June 1939
Germany invades Poland, their blitzkrieg is devastating, and with the help of the Russia, Poland falls in mere weeks...
13 August 1939
Chechslovakia is sadly next, the German bombs raining down on every city. Prague fell in less than 3 days. The Nazi war machine was unstopable, they reached Bratislava in no time and annex the whole of Chechslovakia
6 January 1940
It was bound to happen eventually. After conquering Denmark and Norway, the Reich turned their greedy claws towards France. They thought their defences were unbreakable, however the German air-power was no match for them. Once the line was breached, every single man, woman and child in France knew that thier doom was ahead. The German advanced through France, destroying everything in their path...
27 Febuary 1941
After many defeats for the Allies, the tide finally began to turn. The Britsh army is Africa begins to take over the fallen French colonies. The Germans outgunned them, but the Brits won out of sheer experience... Most of Africa was libarated, thanks to the sacrifice of hundreds, if not thousands, of brave Britsih soldiers. May they rest in peace...
16 May 1942
It happened. Nobody knows how, but it did. The German armada defeated the R.A.F. and began their flight towards London. Britain was doomed. The rest of the British air-force was either stationed in Afirca, or dangerously unprepared to fight the battle harderned Germans... The last line of defence of the British Isles was a small squadron of Bristols and H11s that had to fight the entire German flying menace. They couldn't save London, however, they managed to stall the Armada just long enough to allow London's citizens to escape. They shall forever be seen as heroes.
1946
The Germans continued to fight the British Commonwealth in Africa. They gained very little land, if any. The British Isles no longer existed by then, Scotland, Wales, England, Irland, all covered by a cloud of poison gas and ash.
1951
The Russians declared war to Japan. Germany could not allow this, they invaded Russia and destroyed their forces. All those men, killed. Leningrad fell, then Stalingrad, then Moscow itself... The Soviet Union was left desperate. They had no choice but to surrender. As soon as they did, the Germans and Japanese split Russia in half. The entire world was left speechless... Such a grand nation, destroyed in what seemed like a blink of an eye.
1954
When German scientists split the atom, that was it. America could not allow that. They quickly declared war, and their army and navy made their country impregable. Their new forces were the only ones known that could match the Axis. They were the World's last hope...
1955
The Manhattan Project is done. The two bombs they made, Little Boy and Fat Man, where dropped on Berlin and Tokyo. The Axis were devastated, however, they also developed their own weapon. After two explosions in New York and DC, the Americans unleashed their entire arsenal against the Axis, who did the same...
The rest of the paper is ripped.
Russia has been busy.
In the process of heading south, several things have been recovered. Some of the most notable of which are:
A small American arms crate, composing of 10 Thompson Machine guns, 10 M1 Garands, and several era-specific hand grenades. The search party sends a small detachment back with the crate. (That's one.)
To the west, search parties are hard at work, and, most notably, a 3-man team of German scientists are recovered. Unfortunately, they were in the smaller 'Rocket' division of research... we will have to see where this leads. (That's two.)
Finally, on the homefront, Radio Signals are continued to be sent out and recieved, with the message 'Are you still there?" Looping on all frequencies and recieving on all freqencies. A message is heard, weakly, from the middle east area from a foward operating team. Radio boosters set up in the last year enable a response, "Comrade, The Motherland remains standing. We are exploring. We are recovering. Radio, as you see, still works. How about we make a meeting?" This message is directed towards the middle-east booster, again, on all frequencies.

1. From now on, our new leader shall be known as Madrias the Great, after his conquest of Mosul in Iraq and the Sinai in Egypt. A border was made with the Turkish Republic, which somehow remained mostly un-molested by the war... After a round of negotiations, Turkey joined the Anti-Hilter Commonwealth.
2. Our Homeland Branch has successfully created 3 working laboratories, one in Iraq, one in Israel and one in Turkey. With the aid of some recovered scientists, they where able to re-create working rifles and grenades, with old models as their inspiration. Metal working facilities, factories and oil proccessing plants have also been built across the nation, supplying the people with jobs and the Commonwealth with resources. Fishing towns and farms have also been built, giving the nation a stable food supply.
3. The new message is heard from Russia. After a couple attempts, a short conversation is made and a meeting place is established. Two leaders board 2 Spitfires and head towards Kazan, where they meet their guests. Many negotiations have been held. All the citizens of the A.H. Commonwealth are very happy new civilizations have been discovered. Russians also informed us of other nations, who aren't as hospitable as them, one of the scariest being the "Bowser Empire". A treaty is proposed to OC's Russia, stating that the two nations shall not attack eachother and they shall aid one another in the event of a war...

Thankfully, many of the Red Bear's former laboratories and manufacturing plants are untouched. They /were/ smart enough to mobilize everything when things began to go to shit, and most of the populations centers have now ended up in the Eastern Portion of Russia. Even as they surrendered, many refused to give up the fight. History has shown, nearly /noone/ attacks Russia and gets away with it. Many of these things were hidden away for the time being.
Utilizing the concept of Oxen tilling and the newly rediscovered internal combustion engine, we preformed a rather crude splicing of the two, and have a rudimentary, albeit effective, propelled combine/harvester.
Oil. Still, even then, the lifeblood of the world. Using fun doppler radio techniques, (The russians were /great/ mathematicians at the time,) We're able to find rather large oil deposits scattered throughout the country. Safe ways to drill this is being worked out.
