Honestly, it's your little snarky footnotes that are the best part of your maps. :D ;)

OK, so yeah - generically lumping the whole left half of the country together as "ev0l communists". What I thought.

You mean Franco-Spanish union isn't automatically MegaAndorra? :p

OK then, I'm suddenly curious - what did the Nationalists call the Republicans, in real life? Did they just generally lump them together under the derogatory "bolshevik"?

Awww. Was hoping for something. :( That's a great title, though. :D

NP. :) It was basically "Oh, God, a dude from Spain whose username is Goldstein, do not fight this now. :eek:" ;) (That said, do you know of any good books about the Nationalists? English-language literature tends to focus on the Republicans, since that's where most of the English-speakers...

Erm... That was me attempting to rationalize someone else's weird opinions; if you look, the original "Yay go Franco! or the Carlists!" post wasn't me.

Sorry; on behalf of the colorblind population - were there internal borders? All I could see was something in Bosnia. :confused:

Astrology isn't proactive enough! Also, the Ottomans, Constantinople, the Holy Roman Empire, Nicholas V wielding a chainsaw, and zeppelins. Because.

I would guess the intent is that Franco was bad, but not eg Hitler-caliber bad; and that anything other than a lighting-quick Republican victory would mean Stalinist Spain, which would be pretty horrible. As for the other, this forum has a recognised love for random restorations. ;)

Oh. Right. not everyone's noticed yet. ;) For that welcome, I will graciously forgive your Red Ensign-snipe. :p

ICK LIKE, REALLY, ICK. Canada's canton flag is, of course, what Wilcoxchar posted above :o (I am partial to the idea of a uniquely Canadian canton flag, but it would be red leaf on a white canton, with a red field and a blue stripe up the right, as a first guess.)

Well, in part because Germany lost despite a lot of early advantages, which limits the degree to which you can declare their commanders "best".

I love you too. :P That's one up on me. :P I pretty much only ever write it. :o

Brusilov, hesitantly. Given that Russia was the country closest to the abyss, pulling that kind of thing off that late in the game takes genuine brilliance. Petain, Ludendorff, Ataturk were all competent but hardly "best"; Haig gets something of a bad rap but certainly wasn't "best"...
