  1. Slavic settlement in Southern Italy and Sicily

    Before, I'd say, In my Interference Timeline the Slavs invaded the South in the VIIth centry and even sacked Rome before being destroyed by an imperial counteroffensive and ultimately absorbed. Hstorically in the X-XIthe century the Narentan trioes, who were quite active on the sea, causing...
  2. Slavic Northern Italy

    Exactly the same it had historically, and it was considerable at that time. Venice's fleet crushed Comacchio and fought the Arabs already in the IXth century, conquered Dalmatia from Narentans around 1000 with Byzantine assent, long dominated the routes to "Rhomania" and the Levant in a struggle...
  3. Slavic Northern Italy

    By naval power, support by Byzantium, and control of the marshlands on the lower Po. In the long run it doesn't preserve independence though, failing to build the historical land possessions, and switching to a mixed Slavic-Romance dialect and subjection of whatever power in possession of the...
  4. Slavic Northern Italy

    I had such an idea actually, where de facto most of Northern Italy became a giant Slovenia after a massive invasion/migration shortly before the year 600 of a mixed army of Slavs, Lombards, Saxons, Avars, in such damage and wreaking such irreparable damage as to de-Latinize most of the Po Valley...
  5. Land of Flatwater: Protect and Survive Middle America

    My belief is they will perform forced labor in a contaminated area. I don't think the Finns will show a tender mercy to outsiders, even to Americans. Pity is dead.
  6. Land of Flatwater: Protect and Survive Middle America

    Rouen I got hit, it's among the hits that got lost from the file (I think they were about 15% of the total). The missile silos I didn't put into the figure as I didn't know where they were. Some hits (a few) were deliberately out of target either slightly or, in a couple case, quite masively...
  7. Land of Flatwater: Protect and Survive Middle America

    I had made a painstaking work of tracing nuclear targets in France adding circles of widspread damage around major urban and industrial targets, ports, airports and airbases, but thanks to the idiotic way of saving the work of the ite I was working on, part of it got simply lost. Anyway, most of...
  8. A more aggresive and focused Italy

    Simple: abolish Fascism, starting with its chief.
  9. Land of Flatwater: Protect and Survive Middle America

    I concur with our colonel that he's right. I've always found a bit too optimistic even Macragge amazing story, for grim that it obviously is - I'm much less inclined to believe a country can be kept together after a hailstorm of H-bombs. And there's a problem that hasn't be addressed: suicides...
  10. Can a Russo-German Alliance be beaten?

    Russia and Germaby together are beatable, with enough nukes.
  11. Genghis Khan as founder/prophet of a major religion

    Let's imagine a Muhammad-like Genghis. While remaining in a fully Tengriist environment in general terms, he makes himself the drumbeater of a new religious movement, confusely accepting some tenets from other known faiths/philosophies - revelation, scripture and strict monotheism from Islam...
  12. Handbook of Byzantine Protocole and Ceremonies

    Indeed I immediately got the time fof the characters, from their dress and robes (*mumble mumble*... "I'd say late 11th century"), even before reading it was a tv show about poor Romanos IV.
  13. When the Wind Blew: a P&S Open Thread

    Caino... :D
  14. When the Wind Blew: a P&S Open Thread

    Exaggerated, I'd remove half of these.
  15. Land of Flatwater: Protect and Survive Middle America

    *still plot-nuking* poor France... *shakes head* EDIT: *much vain work later* all in vain. Thanks to the programming of the plotting site I was using, I can't re-put together for showing what I did and there's no other way to save it: not even merging several cumulative .kml files shows...
  16. Land of Flatwater: Protect and Survive Middle America

    I concur. While I do not know much about French military installations, apart obvious things as "Aubagne is the seat of the Foreign Legion", I can begin preparing a file with what I think will be the most likely nuclear targets in the country, as I did earlier for NW Italy. I too have a...
  17. When the Wind Blew: a P&S Open Thread

    The airport can be taken out with a low-yield weapon, say 25 kt, not even necessarily groundburst. For the tunneled dock :O the yield would be, say, around 600kt, groundurst against the mountain. Sufficient to bake and earthquake anything inside out of existence, I think.
  18. Question about red italy

    The second choice, most likely, even in the case of a Stalinesque regime (which wouldn't hesitate to poison a Pope to appoint another, obviously). Absolutely the second in any scenario post-1960, and with wekeaning grip over God's Central Committee :D.
  19. P&S - a tentative nuke target map for NW Italy

    It's a word we gladly keep at a distance.
