Hey, guys. What's the discord link?

Thanks! I can sometimes read a bit too fast.

Hey Illuminatus, what do you think of the recent rise of Trump and the like in the US? It seems like the right is rising, but the left has stayed flat. It's a scary thing, imho.

The progidal son returns once again! Nice having you back. Hope you stick around this time.

Cmon, anyone?

female soldiers in WWII How would the American Military's use of female soldiers affect the Soviet military's use of female soldiers? The Soviets tended to use the most females in closer-to-front/sniper roles compared to other armies, so would they try to use more female frontline troops to...

Great post, Jello! I really think you've done a wonderful job of balancing personal stories and larger overviews in this timeline. It helps get a feel for both the official policies and changes, and how they've really affected people and their lives. Plus, I realized you've been working on...

Glad to see Stalin and Beria get shut down. Good update, all around.

I really like it. I'd give it a 75 round belt, but I agree that a modernizing UASR Army would quickly realize the necessity of a good Light Machine Gun. Especially with the excellent 7x51 round, I have high hopes for the UASR weapon systems. I can't wait to learn about the handguns, submachine...

I like it, but a few things - -I don't think that a fully-automatic shotgun would be accepted in the 40's. A ruggedized combat shotgun I could see, but I think that it would end up being a pump design due to reliability. -A 200 round saddle drum of 30.06 is way too big for a LMG. A 75-100...

a bit off topic Does anyone know of any good Paris 68' alternate timelines, where France goes communist? This seems like the best place to ask. Also, now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if any sort of major protests happen in France in 68.

I didn't even think about that. I suppose that carbine makes more sense then. How common issue will this weapon be with American forces, and will it or a full power M1 Rifle be standard issue? I also wonder how this will affect axis weapon development. I can see projects like the FG42 and STG44...

Oh, man, a Carbine-length Garand in 7mm Pederson? You've got me excited. Fantastic cartridge that never saw enough use. And as for the name "light battle rifle" - we've got high power Battle Rifles, low power Assault Rifles - why not moderate power Combat Rifles? Fits the theme and makes sense.

Yeah, I uh, didn't think about that until after the post.

I love this! I might be able to rewrite this in a few days. Just a question- Why 50mm? Most RL launchers are 30-40mm. Also, a note - remember, it's always almost a mag, not a clip.
