Hello! Privet!
My name is Alex, member of BlitzSrbija and Global Blitzkrieg Community. I've been following the progress of GZM for a while now, and I really love what you guys have been doing with it. That being said, I've been lately making custom missions for it along with new music tracks. They will be shared as the time passes, and as soon as I'm making more progress in finishing them. Now, let's get down to business.
What I've been working on can be named as 'Alternate History'. It's based on the Kaiserreich-mod for "Hearts of Iron 4" and "Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game".

In short, the main ideas are these:
- the German Empire won the Great War ('Weltkrieg' as they name it), but suffered a terrible economic crash in 1936 and after a long and hard effort managed to recover itself and started having democratic elections as promised by Wilhelm II's "Easter Message";
- the Austro-Hungarian Empire won along the German Empire but has reformed to the Danubian Federation, after it avoided a total dissolution of the empire during the following years of the Weltkrieg;
- the Ottoman Empire, the sick man of Europe, finally received economic aid from the German Empire and started rebuilding itself, however the danger of uprising is still in the air, as the Arabs, Jordanians, Israelis and other minorities want more freedom and the Egyptians who freed themselves after the Weltkrieg fuel the unrest;
- the Third French Republic collapsed during the General Strike in the spring of 1919, right on the heels of the second outbreak of mutiny in the French Army, and now as the dust settles and the brief Civil War has ended, a new danger stands on the borders of the German Empire: the Commune of France, leader of the Syndicalist International; the remnants of the old Republic, part of the Entente, are now in the former French colonies in Africa and are working together with the German Empire in recovering their lost homeland;
- the British Empire after the 1919 Stalemate, agreed to Peace with Honour with the Central Powers, but it suffered a total collapse during 1925's General Strike, when a Territorial Army unit massacred the miners who were protesting in Tarenni Colliery in South Wales and sparked more violence outbreakes all along the British Isles. The majority of the government was evacuated along with the Royal Family to Canada as the TUC - Trade Unions Congress - took over the isles, proclaiming the Union of Britain;
- the Russian Empire collapsed after the outbreak of the Russian Revolution in 1917. The 'Provisional Government' existence was short-lived as the Bolsheviks started to fight against the "White Movement" - a loose coalition of conservatives, liberals, ardent tsarists, and many anti-Bolshevik socialists who opposed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. As Lenin was assasinated by a disgruntled Socialist Revolutionary, the Provisional All-Russian Government following the Congress of Ufa, with Alexander Kerensky as president and Aleksandr Kolchak as supreme commander, captured first Petrograd, then seized much of the Russian heartland, before finally capturing Moscow and accepted the Bolshevik surrender on January 22nd, 1920. After Kolchak's failed coup in 1924, and the creation of the Don-Kuban Union, the Russian Republic is in an uncertain state, as the tensions grow between the Socialists, Conservatives and Liberals with Kerensky barely keeping them away from another internal conflict.
- in 1919 Italy collapsed under a Central Powers offensive, and the combination of anger at Italy's betrayal and the Austrian desire for a divided Italian peninsula led to the break-up of Italy as a nation, and following the civil war of 1919-1920 the newly formed entities are the vulnerable democratic Republic of Italy, the Socialist Republic of Italy part of the Syndicalist International , the newly proclaimed Kingdom of the Two Sicilies who protects the Papal States and finally Sardinia, a member of the Entente, and firmly under the sphere of influence of Algiers;
- the United States of America are divided in a terrible civil war as the remnants of the Federal Government led by Douglas MacArthur along with the Pacific States of America - PSA - after a brief conflict , stand united against the Combined Syndicates of America - CSA - , and against the American Union State - AUS - ; New England was occupied by Canada to stop the advance of the CSA forces, and Panama was occupied by the Entente to keep it from the hands of other syndicalist powers. The Syndicalist-led United Mexican States currently threaten the entire Southern border of the Federal Government and the PSA.
- the Empire of Japan is poised to extend her empire: with the German Empire's dominance of the world appearing to be in decline the Japanese look greedily at both the remaining Qing Chinese territories and the German Pacific possessions, but first, the country must overcome its internal strife and unrest.
- the Balkan region finally stabilized itself and banded together to form the Greater Balkanic Union - GBU;
- part of the former Polish territories were finally granted freedom and after talks with the German Empire, the Danubian Federation and the Russian Republic they received the blessing to form the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and they're having frequent military training missions with the GBU and the German Empire;
That being said, after this long lore dump, here are a few screenshots of what I've currently done:

I'll try to show more missions as soon as I can.
This is all for now, if you want to check my custom tracks that I'm making for this chapter you can listen to them by clicking this image:
Also, sorry for not writing this in Russian, as my skills in this particular language are pretty low. This is what's happening when you learn a language through Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Cheers!
