I just remembered that this is an Olympic year in WW.
Historically Japan was to host both the Summer and Winter games in 1940 but was stripped of the honour due to the 1938 Sino-Japanese war and the Summer games went to Finland and the Winter games to Switzerland and then Germany.
The 1944 Summer Games should be in London and the 1944 Winter Games in Italy.
So are we in for a Japanese duo of Olympics this year?
I agree more WW nations should bid to add to these lists since these are basically US-Swiss choices. Of course that depends on player willingness to write or participate but I would think Germany and France would bid given they can afford it OTL, perhaps Nordmark for the Winter Games?
I don't know how we would select, perhaps a poll vote?
Looks like Q1 1944 to me. Guess you are too late for it.Quoted
The 1944 Winter Olympics, which would have been officially known as the V Olympic Winter Games (due to the cancellation of 1940's V Olympic Winter Games), were to be celebrated in February 1944 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
Back in those days, winter sports were more dependent on nature so you want to hold it mid/late winter and not at the beginning so moving it to the end of 1944 is probably not an option. It is better to assume that the Winter Games have taken place at the beginning of the year and if you want to create the stuff about it, create it at your own pace. After all, the 1943 China-Chosen war is still in 1943. I don't consider it a disaster if you post about the Q1 Winter Games while we are in Q4.
