  1. Icarus Rising

    Well then. GG United States.
  2. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    Beijing for the north, and either Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or Chongqing for the south. EDIT: Just so you guys know, I was camping with my family for the past week, so that's why there hasn't been any updates. There should be one sometime early next week.
  3. Icarus Rising

    At the very least you might want to preface it with: "The story is entirely fictional and not meant in any way to denigrate the people portrayed" or something of that nature.
  4. Disaster at Leuthen TL - Frederick the Great dies in battle

    That level of vitriol was not and never will be. Now, you could very well rework your argument into calm, rational sentences and explain why you think this is an issue. I would disagree with you of course, but you absolutely have the right to voice your concerns. However, you do not have the...
  5. Icarus Rising

    Is it actually possible to talk to the guy, or is he protected by Secret Service?
  6. Icarus Falls (An Alternate 1960s)

    I have to agree with Nixon being the best 'bad' President. I hate his social policy, I hate the way he played on white fears to win the election, and I hate his blatant poor personality traits (paranoia being the biggest), but goddammit I can't help but respect the guy, even if I do like him...

    The Great Chinese War Part 2: The Bear, Sun, and Lion"Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated" - Mao It was inevitable, given the state of China, that the great powers would involve themselves in the struggle. The world's most powerful nations had long been searching for...
  8. Nationalist/Fascist America vs The World

    It is absolutely relevant. This is a land war across the continent. What's the Royal Navy going to do? Sail up the Saint Lawrence? 1812 America =/= 1939 America As for Latin America, I am skeptical that the US could take and hold it as long as all they seem to be interested in is the...
  9. Icarus Rising

    I'm also wondering. Somewhere in Europe, I assume. Italy? The United Kingdom? It'd be great if he sent them to Hunter Thompson in Norway, but I don't think that's likely :p EDIT: Then I had the horrible thought it could be the Soviet Union. That would not be good.
  10. WI: Battle of Britan Sucessful then Hitler invades US

    I see you're new here, so let me explain it to you. Operation Sealion is widely regarded as virtually impossible, though there are some on here who try to defend it. The Battle of Britain can't simply be "won", and even if somehow it is, the Germans have still got the RN to deal with. Let's be...
  11. WI: Hitler goes crazy and tells the allies to leave normandy or he'll kill civillians

    They have to. Leaving Normandy in the hands of a genocidal maniac? After you've already made a successful landing and committed yourselves to total victory? That's politically and militarily irreconcilable.
  12. WI: Hitler goes crazy and tells the allies to leave normandy or he'll kill civillians

    Germany still loses. Perhaps the Allies try to speed up the liberation of France, but remember, this is World War 2. A lot of civilians died in that war, and I don't think the Allies are going to change a winning strategy to save a few thousand more. After the war, there's gonna be more war...
  13. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    Well, it's not impossible. The Kuomintang right now are less radical than the OTL CCP, and they're not quite socialists, but they're certainly solidly in the left wing. Any of the anti-communist right wingers are in the KMC right about now.
  14. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    Yes, but he's only one of many leaders in the Kuomintang for now.
  15. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    The Great Chinese War Part 1: Warlords "We become what we do" - Chiang Kai-Shek With the 1926 collapse of the Kuomintang, ultimately culminating with the ascension of Wang Jingwei to its leadership, China's Warlords period began anew. The impromptu alliance between the various cliques ended...
  16. Icarus Rising

    That bit with Holloway in Offut reminded me a lot of Dr. Strangelove, except Holloway is the 'good guy'.
  17. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    The Cuban-American War Part 2: Search and Destroy "A revolution is not a bed of roses" - Fidel Castro Although the major violence of the revolution occurred in and around Havana in the first parts of the war, Santiago and the southeast began to see its share of fighting as 1933 turned to 1934...
  18. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    See, I would have posted the update already, but that Costa Rica-Netherlands game...:o Indeed. People are beginning to lobby for Baja statehood, but some say Veracruz shouldn't become a state because that would be like making Guantanamo Bay a state. The counterargument is, of course...
  19. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    Seeing as it's been so long since the start of this timeline, I decided to refresh y'all's memories before continuing. And I have a banner too, because boredom. -In the Second Mexican-American War, the United States was victorious and took the states of Baja and Veracruz. -In The Great...
