    No worries man, it will continue. It has just been on 'the back burner' for quite some time. I can't give any fair estimates, but it there will be updates.

    Thanks man, glad you like it! Updates tend to be somewhat slow I'm afraid. All depends on what work, and life, throws at me though, there are periods when I have more time to write after all, and that tends to speed things up. I will definitely consider spacebattles, never really thought about...
  3. Thanks man! Sweden winning the group, and Germany eliminated feels almost a bit asb though.

    In case you're the mongols exchange 'Russia' with 'Japan' :D
  5. The Official AH.com Royal House Survival Guide

    Well from a Swedish perspective... House of Vasa: Don't run around leading foolish charges without having at least one male heir if you want your line to survive (You hear me Gustavus Adolphus?). Less fights, coups and murders within the family would also increase your chances of hanging...
  6. Independent Lapland

    Well to some extent we can say that they did, the Sami or other related groups probably roamed further south than they do today. The problem is that they were pushed away by agrucultural peoples when farming spread to Scandinavia. There could of course be a POD where early Sami spread faster and...
  7. AHC: Sweeden controlling Norway and Finland at the same time.

    Technically speaking Charles VIII was king of Sweden (including Finland) and Norway at the same time in 1449 but it was for less then one year and he never really gained control over the whole of Norway. A possible POD is that he somehow manages to hold on to the Norwegian throne and Norway is...
  8. Largest Possible Number of Germanic Languages?

    There are a few 'dialects' in Sweden that could be seen as seperate languages since they can't, I repeat can't be understood by a speaker of standard Swedish. Sure they are not spoken by many people today but with the right POD they could potentially keep larger number of speakers and get an...
  9. A different Finnish War

    Long time lurker when it comes to this timeline but I thought that I should step out from the shadows and add myself to the "official fans". I like how you have taken an obscure war (except for us Swedes) and without making any unrealistic changes take it in a new direction. The TL feels "real"...
  10. 28 Days Later - Death of a Nation

    Well the smaller straits were used by Charles X to invade from Jutland/Jylland wich is the only invasion of Denmark over the ice that I know about. But the Öresund strait... Not imposible it's frozen sometime of course but not very likely and especially in the warmer climate of today. But then...
  11. 28 Days Later - Death of a Nation

    Well the outbreak was during summer right? So no dice with the ice helping infected people to reach southeren Sweden. Besides, I don't think the Öresund strait have ever frozen to that extent, the smaller straits between the Danish islands have but Öresund? Maybe, just maybe it could have...
  12. The Great Deluge - An Alternate Second Northern War

    Very interesting timeline I must say, just a few things to correct on your map though. The islands Öland and Ösel belonged to Sweden, not Denmark. We had also forced Denmark to let us "borrow" Halland ten years earlier so it could also be coloured the "proper" swedish blue instead of danish red ;)
  13. MoF 25: TO SALTED EARTH, THROUGH BURNING SKY - Voting thread

    Many great entries to choose between but in the end I went with rvbomally. Beautiful map with nice wear and tear making it look like it's been in use during the invasion and the "Pointers for the smart bombardier" is a nice touch
