  1. German attack on the USSR in 1940

    Another possibility for a 1940 campaign is the fact that days before the Armistice was signed in France, Hitler wanted his generals to draw up plans and prepare to execute them within days to move the whole army to Poland in order to be able to attack the Soviet Union by July 30th at the latest...
  2. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    To be honest, we said the same thing about the 21st century back in 1998 ;)
  3. Groß-Deutschland map

    Oh, neat, so Germany can have the equivalent of the whole Austrian fleet there then. ;) I wasnt sure if Fiume was considered deepwater or not, thanks for the clarification. Its nothing incredible in OTL, but I guess if it was the sole major deepwater Greater German port on the Med, it might...
  4. Groß-Deutschland map

    I wonder what kind of Adriatic Navy the Germany above could conceivably maintain. How good are the naval facilities in the tiny stretch of Slovenia/Croatia that this map leaves them? Is there potential for a large seaport that could accommodate, say, several WW1 ships of the line? Off-hand...
  5. Groß-Deutschland map

    This was one of yours, right?
  6. Groß-Deutschland map

    Do you still have copies of the most up-to-date versions? I'll gladly host em myself.
  7. Groß-Deutschland map

    Some of the map links on the earlier pages have gone broke, admittedly they were from over a year ago. I still wanted to say, to this day this thread had by far the best maps of its kind Ive been able to find. Three hurrahs for Greater Germany. :D
  8. The First Templar, new RPG set during the late Crusades

    I've just started playing a new action RPG (available on xbox and PC) that's set in the late crusades. (The Last Templar woulda been a better name). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMhllRr7fqI < This is the part of the game I've gotten to so far; its in the middle of the fall of Acres. Thought...
  9. Victoria II

    A screenshot showing the culmination of my favorite path to German unification, latest patch. Start as Austria. Take Alsace-Lorraine early on (rough war, admittedly, damn French mobilize huge armies thanks to Equality value). Then wage a "Hegemony" war against Prussia. As soon as it concludes...
  10. AHC: Make Germany Cause WWIII

    By kindly allowing a POD as early as 1943, I think you open the door to numerous "separate peace" scenarios where a surviving Nazi regime might be in a position to launch such a war later. To be considered WW3 rather than a mere extension of WW2, I think its safe to say a good period of time...
  11. Europa Universalis III

    They fixed most of them from what Im seeing right now. Its still a BETA patch, with a few limitations (not Steam friendly, Achivements wont work with this...) but the full 5.1 patch with fixes should go live later this month. Im playing my first game right now... I think there are still...
  12. Europa Universalis III

    The Beta of patch 5.1 for Divine Wind is up right now. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?519256-Beta-of-5.1-2nd-February-2011 Download speed is pretty atrocious right now but thatll surely clear up soon. ################################################## ################## #...
  13. Soviet-Romanian War-June 1940

    Slightly off topic, of course, but I can't help but post this here. :D Weird ass result of a hands-off game. Moral of the story: Dont underestimate the 1940 Romanians. (The UK surrendered to SIAM in the same game... :p )
  14. Victoria II

    Its tough but doable. I think I was the first preson to post a Greece > Byzantium AAR after the patch was released, but unfortunately I never finished the AAR :( I did finish the game though; the primary challenges were Infamy management, low Core/Greek population and a hard time catching up on...
  15. Victoria II

    Depends on your tech edge really. Realistically, you should be aiming for a navy thats smaller but more modern than theirs. Also, the date you want to do this at changes things quite a bit. You dont need 500 ships if they are relatively modern and out-teching the British. You might indeed need...
  16. Flak 88's to the Eastern Front

    Theyd do more 'good' for the Germans on the eastern front, yes. But fundamentally they are fucked anyway by this date. I don't forsee this shift as sufficient to force the Soviets to fundamentally change their strategy, much less sue for peace. Now if the reason for the transfer eastwards was...
  17. WI The USSR went ahead with its planned attack on China?

    I think that without US interference, the Soviets could very well win a devastating victory either with or without nuclear weapons. This is the kind of war they'd be good at, and it's one they planned very well. I assume they'd take whatever territory they want in the North and the West and...
  18. somewhat more French-speaking Canada

    It depends on geographical dispositions of this new population to an extent. The province which had the best chance of developing a strong french population in OTL but didnt is probably Manitoba, which had many French-speaking métis. You can have a strong French minority there easily. Also, if...
  19. WI the USA gets Canada and the Upper South, Britain gets the Deep South and Cuba ?

    My best guess is that this status quo has no chance of holding up, unlike OTL's. The Americans will have opportunities and great desire to capture the southern territory, which is more accessible, more important and easier to incorporate than Canada ever was for OTL's USA. Sooner or later, just...
  20. World War III in May 1946

    This has to be one of our oldest active timelines, no? I just caught up with it, and I really like it! Good work. My only regret is that itll surely end all too predictably with the Soviets utterly crushed. :p Would be nice to be surprised.
