Against All Odds (AAO) is a series of Alternate History stories written primarily by Trekaddict. The main (and by far the largest) of the stories is Against All Odds: The British Empire in World War II, originally written as an After-Action Report for a game of Hearts of Iron II.The world of Against All Odds diverges from our own in 1901, when US President William Mckinley survives an assassination attempt which was fatal in our own timeline. This small change sets off a chain of events which results in the United States falling to a communist revolution in the early 1930s. Finding itself increasingly alone, Britain takes the plunge and enacts Imperial Federation, giving her colonies equal status with the United Kingdom. The British Empire in World War II follows exactly what it says it does, chronicling the Empire's struggle against an Unholy Alliance of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, as well as Japan. Other stories in the series include The Nerve of War and Operation Tidespring, both set during flashpoints of the Cold War that follows.The main story can be found on the Paradox Interactive forums [1]. Has its own wiki here, with links to all of the associated stories. | |

Different World, Different Movies | |
| Against All Odds (2008) / int_258a5cfe | comment |
Different World, Different Movies: With the US going communist in the 30s, culture is radically different in many areas. For example: John Lennon exists, but rock and roll never became popular so he does movie soundtracks instead. One of the most acclaimed pieces of media in the setting is The Last War, a six-season British-Canadian-German TV series depicting the Cold War going hot. George Orwell's book was published a year later, as Nineteen Ninety-Four. There is a niche West Japanese video game called Capsumon. | |

You Shall Not Pass! | |
| Against All Odds (2008) / int_3b0479f2 | comment |
You Shall Not Pass!: The cruiser HMS Thunderchild engages a superior IJN force to buy time for civillian transports fleeing Hong Kong. Thunderchild sinks, but the transports escape. The HMS Hood engages the massive Japanese battleship Yamato to protect an Allied destroyer convoy. The Hood sustains severe damage but survives thanks to the Yamato receiving a false submarine warning. | |

| Against All Odds (2008) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: The Battle of the South China Sea, in which Japan loses almost all of its remaining capital ships without dealing anything more than negligible damage to the Allied fleet. There is also the 1st Battle of Midway where the American People's Navy has its ass handed to it and the Battle of the Blockade where the Graf Zeppelin sinks four British battleship while only losing a few planes. | |

Reporting Names: The Allied Pact has these for aircraft of the Wake Island Association-which are exactly the same as the real-life names for said aircraft. Word of God is though that this was done to minimize the in-universe jargon the author and audience had to keep track of. | |
