People have said a conrete question would stimulate discussion. We shall see. Here is the question. It is in the context of the combined Advanced Third Reich - Rising Sun global war scenario, but probably is general enough that knowledge of the A3R system isn't necessary. Design a series of effects which would occur in either Europe or the Pacific or both had the U.S. been doing poorly in the war and Roosevelt had been defeated in the 1944 presidential election by a "peace candidate". The most extreme result would be U.S. withdrawal from the war in one or both theaters. Can you provide a list of lesser results which would apply during the final year of the war, perhaps allowing Germany or Japan to force a stalemate where they might have lost, or to win where they might have only had a stalemate? And, as an extra challenge, how would you determine what effects applied. Post results. Let's see if there are any game designers watching (this is not a hypothetical question, by the way - there will be such a rule in Rising Sun).
