Wenn du tot bist, dann weißt du nicht, dass du tot bist, es ist nur schwer für die anderen. Genau so ist es, wenn du blöd bist.
Its nice to win with France and Britain, even if the odds were stacked in our favour. Hopefully Rise of the Dictators will be a more balanced contest. Hope to have it ready within the next couple of weeks if anyone is interested in playing. A very early version is available to take a look at here:

There is still a lot of work to do but comments are welcome!
Britain, the USA and the Dictatorships are taken but the USSR, Germany, France and Italy are still available. Italy and France are not as weak in this game as in other ones I have seen so they should stand a good chance
Just putting the finishing touches to this now and wanted to get peoples opinion on the diplomatic house rules. I have put these house rules in the Civlipedia under Game Concepts for easy reference:
GLOSSARY OF TERMS:
CASUS BELLI: A valid pretext for a decloration of war. Clear and sustained violation of territory can be used as a Casus Belli. One stray unit is not an excuse as long as it is withdrawn promptly.
GERMANY
Does not require Casus Belli to declare war.
USSR
Does not require Casus Belli to declare war.
The USA and USSR do not need a Casus Belli to declare war on each other.
EASTERN STATES (ROMANIA/HUNGARY/BULGARIA)
Do not require Casus Belli to declare war.
FINLAND
Does not require Casus Belli to declare war.
SPAIN (UNDER NATIONALIST CONTROL)
Do not require Casus Belli to declare war.
Run as a seperate entity from the other dictatorships.
SPAIN (UNDER REPUBLICAN CONTROL)
Must have a Casus Belli to declare war.
The only valid Casus Belli for Republican Spain is the sustained violation of its territory.
Run as a seperate entity from the USSR.
SPANISH CIVIL WAR
Victory in the Civil War is achieved when the Nationalists (Dictatorships) control Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia or the Republicans
(Soviets) control Sevilla, Burgos and Salamanca. Both sides must also control their own objective cities.
The external nations can support either side economically and militarily by gifting money or units via the cheat menu.
Germany, Italy and Russia can control units directly but can only opperate from areas controlled by their allies. For example
the Italians could not launch an amphibious assault on Barcelona with troops embarking from Italy. First they must unload in
Nationalist territory.
If any external nation captures a city they must immediately hand it over to their allies via the cheat menu.
USA
Must have Casus Belli to declare war until December 1941 (Pearl Harbour). After this date it may decleare war without one.
An attack on Britain or France is a valid Casus Belli.
The USA cannot declare war on Britain or the Neutrals.
The USA can only declare war on Vichy France.
The USA and USSR do not need a Casus Belli to declare war on each other.
BRITAIN
Must have Casus Belli to declare war.
Britain may activate its alliance with France when at war.
Allied to France, Belgium and Poland.
ITALY
Does not require Casus Belli to declare war.
If the Allies capture Sicily Germany may occupy any Italian city they wish. The Italian player must co-operate fully and promptly.
The exception to this rule is if Italy changes sides to the Allies prior to the Allied invasion, in which case the Germans must take the Italian cities by force.
FRANCE
France must have a valid Casus Belli to declare war.
An attack on France gives Britain a valid Casus Belli.
France may activate its alliance with Britain when at war.
Allied to Czechoslovakia and Poland.
May sign a military alliance with Romania / Bulgaria / Hungary.
VICHY FRANCE
If Germany captures Paris the French government must become a puppet state.
If Germany decides to negotiate more lenient terms that is up to them, otherwise the settlement is:
1, Upon the capture of Paris the French must cease resistance.
2, France must hand over control of all Metropolitan French cities bar Limoges, Toulouse, Lyon, Marseilles, Toulon and Nice.
3, France must disband all army and air force units in Metropolitan France bar three Infantry Divisions in each Vichy city.
4, No military units can be built in Metropolitan cities until the Free French clause (see #8).
5, France must resist any Allied attempts to take over Vichy territory in North Africa or the Levant.
6, The French fleet must either hand over its ships to the Germans or sail to Toulon or colonial ports.
7, If Germany wishes to occupy Tunis the French must hand over the city even if this means disbanding of troops homed there!
8, The French will be freed from these constraints if the Allies liberate Casablanca, Algiers and Oran. The Vichy government can either choose to join the Allied side again or continue to work with Germany.
9, If the Vichy government decide to become the Free French then Germany can occupy the remainder of the Metropolitan cities by force and any colonial cities they can grab.
10, The Allies can occupy any Vichy cities they wish without a Casus Belli. It is up to the Allies if they hand back control of any ex-French cities to the Free French. Should cause some realistic tension between De Galle and the Allied leaders!
AUSTRIA
Anscluss between Germany and Austria gives Britain and France a valid Casus Belli to declare war.
An attack on Austria by Italy gives Britain and France a Casus Belli for war.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA

France has a military alliance with must declare war on any country that attacks Czechoslovakia. France will have the option to opt out of supporting Czechoslovakia if Britain decides to appease the Germans.
SLOVAKIA
If Germany occupies Czechoslovakia (Prague/Pilsen/Brno) then the Dictatorships can occupy Slovakia without giving France and Britain a Casus Belli.
YUGOSLAVIA
There is no concequence for Germany, Italy, the Dictatorships or the USSR invading Yugoslavia.
BALTIC STATES
In the Soviet sphere of influence. The USSR has a free hand in the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
ALBANIA
In the Italian sphere of influence. The Italians have a free hand in Albania.
GREECE

Greek cities cannot be occupied by the British but they can be liberated from foreign aggressors.

Zitat von simsahas
I'm still up for the Brits.
How is the scenario coming along?
I think it is ready to go now. I will upload the final files to the Scenario League tomorrow evening and we can look for players for Russia, France, Germany and Italy. The German player needs to be a real scrapper to make things really interesting.
I'll take Italy.
