Around 37 was my count as well.
As for French power: The war isn't over. Mark my words. I have surprises yet in store no one has an idea I'm planning. Just wait.Caesar is to blame for almost everything. That's all I'll say for now.
You damn tease!
It's about damn time! HAIL CUSTER, THE PINNACLE MAN REBORN!
Just a quick notice that I won't be on much for a couple days. I have my 1965 Galaxie 500 I've been restoring. It belonged to a WWI doughboy first lieutenant originally. It's rad. Well yesterday morning I spent almost 500 dollars on a new windshield. Last night, my radiator detonated. I'm working open-to-close overtime shifts for a couple days to bring in the money I need to pay for repairs. Lol Say a prayer. I'll still try to respond to a few comments tonight though if I have my sanity still after being in Walgreens for 15 hours at a time.
That sucks ass and I’m sore you gotta deal with that. Good luck and stay strong, Napo

I hope that this will be explained in a latter post, like the idea that Europa is 'liberal' I get the impression that we missed some important cultural developments, not like that is particularly bad as only so much can be written down in a manner that keeps the whole thing reasonable.

Excellent, with such massive populations and a technological level that favours defence, this is a war that will likely last years. Europa being forced to retreat initially as its world empire starts being ripped away isn't unrealistic if certain factors are active, the Soviet Union after all had to retreat right back to Moscow even though Germany arguably lost the war at Smolensk or even earlier.
What we have seen so far is Europa losing almost every peripheral territory that was a drain on resources or at least had to be defended. Now the loss of the Danubian basin hurt, but the rest of the Catholic core is largely intact, especially the crucial imperial core territory of the Rhine-Ruhr.

The problem I have is that I didn't and still don't know how exactly the Caesar is screwing everything up, maybe I missed something but the only specific thing that comes to mind is him ignoring Quebec which can be interpreted as a Leninist tactic to make sure that the important battle is won, (tough luck Finnish communists). Wasn't this Caesar the same one that killed his father for being a wimp and was single-handedly running the Empire, and doing a good job of it too?
The way this war was presented gave me the strong impression that the Prussians and Russians will win because they are badasses and all the Catholics will forget that the House of Bonaparte-Hapsburg retook the Holy Land, so that the Latin's can be pushed into the gas chambers as they where too dumb to remember what happened to Mexico.
I suppose a deeper issue it that the tone of this work can be sometimes rather off, would a French warlord chosen by the Caesar, in a world where colonialism is even more brutal, where genocide is casual, where the mid 19th century saw a literal crusade against the Muslims, resemble poor old Perrault? Unlike say this sort of chap? Considering the sort of cultural developments that would that would be occurring in this world I am rather surprised that Perrault didn't challenge the guy who stole his wife to a duel, maybe he could be killed during it as a part of Fascist Keikaku.
There's a chance for the Seven Heads to stand for the seven hills of Rome and for the dragon to stand for the RE during the first persecutions of Christians, so I think Milo Miles could have done a better job in this sermon.
They're careful how they portray the RE though. Miles and the RU have a massive Roman fetish. They'd be careful to stray away from criticising the proper pre-barbarian RE.
This is a bit off topic, but reading about the Algiers putsch reminded me of For All Time and how inherently dictatorial the names in that TL where: Darlan, Challe, Salan. Lovely bunch.
So how do they describe Rome in historical terms, say in schools? I would image that they would have a Caesar's Legion style blindness in that they would ignore the fact that Rome was an extremely brittle society which suffered from an endless cascade of civil wars and insurrections, surviving through stubbornness, reform and not a small amount of luck.

Okay, I thought they would only consider the Republic, Caesar's dictatorship and the Principate as examples of virtue.
Thanks for the clarification.
Just firing this out there; What would a British version of ORRA be? Like what would there name be and what would they look like?
I think at first they would probably look like the Black and Tans before eventually looking either more like the British Military Police or maybe a Commonwealth force. Any thoughts?

That sounds about right, I thought it would be pretty interesting if they were under the sway of a Brittanic Council of Jehovah, you could call it them the Knights of St. George or something and play it up as more of a fraternal knightly order.
I could imagine them being split on National lines:
Scotland gets the Knights of St. Andrew
England gets Knights of St. George
Also I could see Fascist Parties having there own Paramilitary leagues that are incorporated into the Britannic Army;
The English Comwell's Army and the Scottish Bruce's Men or something like that.
Also I have a name for an underground Socialist/Betuelist/Eduist resistance group in Britian; The Levellers and the Diggers, named after Proto-Socialist/Anrcho Syndicalist communes from the English Civil War.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, Madness fans. During this time of the year, I think it’s a good day to remind ourselves and thank our lucky stars that we are not trapped in any rotting Inferior Ghettos, subjects of twisted experiments, or holding back the horde of Britanic legions with toxic weapons.
So on this greenest of days, raise a glass with friends and declare death to the RU and Britanic Union!
Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone. Celebrate and drink responsibly today
