How to play a map game

==Overview==
Alternate history or alternative history (British English), sometimes abbreviated as AH or Althist, is a genre of fiction consisting of stories in which one or more historical events occur differently from reality. These stories usually contain "what if" scenarios at crucial points in history (such as an Axis victory in WW 2) and present an outcome of events alternative to historical record Wikipedia: Alternate history.
These games are a user collaborative alternate history type of game. A starting map, scenario and rules are posted by the game’s creator at the start of the game. The players take turns competing with each other by posting a series of dated alternate historical events beneath the map and making changes to the map when relevant, as they act out their plans on how to run the world and outsmart their rival at military, economy, treaties, political, spots, space tech, exploration plans, declaring war to other nations, making alliances, moving the nation's troops or improvements on the nation's wealth, infrastucture and quality;etc; (as if they were a real head of state).
