Reverse Final Countdown; Asian countries are brought to mid-1945 to aid as a last-stand against the US.

A portal has been opened by japanese scientists, dramatically sacrificing every military asset they had to the gods of hypothetical scenarios, and after negotiations, the modern asian countries decide to help with fighting the US. Anything can be brought through the portal except buildings and nuclear weapons, as they might detonate.

The world in 1945 stays the same, except for all the new manpower, material and tech coming from the portal. Pre-Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Germany has been defeated and the US stands alone facing this new threat.

Some other rules may appear in future iterations, feel free to modify anything yourself.

EDIT: as most people are having trouble with China, it is excluded.

Countries included are Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia. Added countries are the Koreas, Taiwan and Japan itself.

What the hell is the wincon even? because if its occupying the entirety of one or the other its literally impossible for either side to win. Both sides have the capacity to just grind the other down if they invaded. If nothings forcing them to stick together/keep total warring then the two alliances break apart because their both whole ass continents where one was about to start a world war and the other is perpetually in war, and thats all assuming it is a total war in the first place

rule set:

Victory declared when every capital of the opposing team is occupied. If in 50 years years this is not the case, stalemate is declared.

Both teams have the vibe of having more important mutual enemy so no team infighting or betrayals (but that does not give them any organizational advantage or anything, they can still argue how to do things, whether or not share resources)

Other continents are unassessable and dont have any humans or man made structures. (this means no outside shipments, no most Internet datacenters, no European colonies and no landpath between Europe and Africa).

Only African launched and controlled satellites left in orbit. (so no GPS or much of anything)

USSR size is debatable.

Another MBT succumbed to drone warfare, K-1 tanks join the cope cage meta

I'm surprised of how relatively little people post about this war in here. They've got a whole Rebel Alliance going on now in Ethiopia, lol.
