WWIII Battle 1 Scenarios: Please Vote in the Poll on the Tournament Page for Your Favorite!Entry 1[spoiler=Entry 1]After decades of oppression, low wages, poor working conditions, environmental pollution, and censorship, an underground workers movement gains steam in China, and millions of fed up factory workers strike nationwide. This is followed by a brutally violent government crackdown. The Chinese workers party (CWP) now sees complete overthrow of the Chinese government as their only option.
To compete militarily with the well armed Chinese government forces (CGF) the CWP gathers support Regionally from India, Tibet, Mongolia, and Korea forming the Alliance with the like goals of undoing Chinese oppression of freedom and technology. The CGF gains the support of like minded regimes in Russia and Vietnam, forming the confederation.

Entry 2[spoiler=Entry 2]Jihad!!
Tired of the slow withdrawal of western forces from the Mideast, sensing vulnerability in an alliance of weakened beset politicians, Muslim fundamentalist coalition leaders synchronize a series of riots within the major western countries in areas of heavy under-employed Muslim immigrants (Paris, London, Illinois).
Successful beyond their wildest hopes, these riots grow and attract the support of under-employed and overlooked every where.
On the third night of the global rioting, two very different meetings took place within hours of each other. In a secure cave in the Afghan mountain range, 7 leaders met- Iran, Venezuela, Al Qaeda, a drug zsar from Mexico with grandiose plans, a representative of the Peoples Army of China, the leader of the national African caucus and an imam from Detroit, of all places. Thus was formed the Alliance for World Opportunity.
Its counter met virtually, using the latest secure technology. The leaders of America, England, India, Japan, Brazil, Russia and the newly elected government of Iraq discussed forming what one English general quipped would be "the Confederacy for Common Sense" in order to quell the rising turmoil.

Entry 3[spoiler=Entry 3]Tired of waging war in their own countries, the Confederation numbers grew. They no longer wanted a World Power and were determined to make it so. They began with the bombing of major first world cities, including London, Tokyo, New York City, and Paris.
Ultimately, the rebel forces of Africa and the combined forces of the Middle East and lower Asia determined that the war should be taken to the North American continent. They saw no reason why war should continue in their own back yards while Americans sat at home with no worries in the world. The bombing of more American cities began. Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, and other major US cities felt the brunt of this attack as they were essentially turned into a Nuclear radiation zone. More and more countries joined in support as America began to fall and a Nuclear cloud started to cover the country...and the earth.

Entry 4[spoiler=Entry 4]It is year 205; the Alliance industrial super power countries (USA, China, Russia, Japan, Brazil) have exploited their production means for profits and polluted the Earth. They are buying their way out with their filthy money and leaving the rest of the countries to suffer the consequences, like hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, as a result of their predatory lifestyle.
The countries of the Confederation (developing countries) are fed of having their population suffer and have united by taking arms and joining the Armies of Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, India) against the industrial super powers. Confederation lack the technology of the countries of the Alliance, but make up in the quantities of countries.

Entry 5[spoiler=Entry 5]By 2077, all continents were pillaged for their raw minerals, wood and farmland. What remained was blitzed and destroyed by the fighting of various factions with just two sides remaining (The Global confederate Mining conglomerate, GcMc

and The Environmental good life alliance, Egla

), having both set up bases in the last frontier “Antarctica”. These are the last of humanity; although birth rate maintains population (flat rate spoils), communication and viability is not possible due to the high winds and constant snow/freezing temperatures (fog of war); reinforcements can be achieved by the chained dog sledge system set up by both sides. Humanity depends on you to do the right thing and stand up to what you believe in. Let the fight for the final frontier commence.

Entry 6[spoiler=Entry 6]2030: Hunger and devastation spread over the world after they have exploited all of Earth's natural resources. Populations are overthrowing governments. Political, economic, and security chaos rule over a world with no means.
Deep in the jungles of South America still lives the legend of el Dorado and its fountain of youth, with the water that will be able to relief thirst, feed food and restore sanity in the world. The armies of the Alliance (USA, UK, Taiwan, Egypt) and Confederation ( China, Germany, South Africa, Canada) are in South America with their last resources to take control of the territory. Whoever claims the continent will ensure prosperity over their people and dominion over their rivals.

Entry 7[spoiler=Entry 7]In the beginning, WWIII was, like the previous two world wars, primarily a Eurasian conflict. The nations of the American continents long attempted to stay neutral while tensions were building between the European Union and their African allies on one side, and the huge powerhouse nations of the Far East on the other.
As world oil reserves continued to dry up, it was calculated that the great reserves under the Caspian Sea would outlast all others. The ownership of every cubic millimetre of the earth's crust under the Caspian was bitterly disputed, as the many nations surrounding the Sea tried to extend their claims. The billionaires and trillionaires of China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and Singapore, were able to outbid the Europeans and Africans in every auction. Desperate, the Europeans decided that only military force would restore to them what they felt was rightfully theirs.
Secret high-level meetings were held in Constantinople, and former enemies of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East set aside their differences, forging the Alliance For World Opportunity. Altogether nearly 100 nations were represented. Many nations, but small. On the other side of Eurasia, China alone had more people than all of Europe and Africa combined! And with Japan, Indonesia, and the other East Asian nations (later called the Confederation of Common Sense, although at this point the term had not been invented yet) it amounted to almost 50% more people and 80% more GNP than the Alliance.
Still, desperate times call for desperate measures. It was felt that a surprise offensive could knock out the Chinese before they could mobilize their enormous forces. Russian armour could move very quickly indeed, capturing key forward targets, while supported and reinforced in the rear areas by forces from almost a hundred nations.
On May 10th, 2040 (ironically, the 100th Anniversary of Hitler's offensive against France) more than 18,000 vehicles sliced across the borders of Sinkiang, Mongolia, and Manchuria. Of course, this offensive was only made possible by the 150-year old Trans-Siberian Railway....
World War III had begun.
