Fewer disasters in North Africa and Greece and no rout in France, the fightings harder but they should be doing fairly well considering OTL.

"What do we want!" "Radical change" "Heres a few quid for a small percentage of you" "That'll do guv" We are really fucking easy to pay off.

Dodgy torpedoes still as well, hehe :D

Pretty much, I've read of complaints/admiration from both Germans and Americans in various WW2 books that at the first sign of any resistance the American reaction was to call for Artillery or Air Support. Though theres probably a good amount of envy from the Germans the Americans could just...

Very, and it's never really gone away. There's something intrinsically glamorous about bombing that isn't there in boots on the ground. Also paradoxically a lot more detached, just counters on a map, not real Humans dying under the barrage.

Compare that to the First Punic war where it was a case of whack-a-mole in terms of who controlled what town at times.

Last two updates have been exceptional, great stuff.

The main problem with Africa is disease and there's not much reason to risk going there. If you want to get around to the spice islands and cut out Egypt and middle East great otherwise, well it's a lot of work with a high chance of death. Perhaps it'll be circumnavigated more out of a sense of...

The East to West drain has always been sucking money out of the West, especially pre-industrial revolution. Arguably we're starting to see this again now China is spinning up to speed. There was simply nothing the West could produce that couldn't be produced in the East, meanwhile the East had...

Even conquering the full island, and Hibernia probably wouldn't do much good in terms of pacifying the place. Both islands were very rural in character and in England especially it seems the towns main purpose was to extract as much as possible and funnel it out to feed the legions and earn...

This, alongside slightly more organised and larger threats from without.

I say this in the nicest possible way but... less kooks? More serious recognition of climate issues and a couple of well off backers.

Just read about this mod, I'm literally a pile of drool right now.

This should have interesting effects on the Middle East, especially Iran and Iraq.

Oh its a great butterfly, but man a world without Wonka, or The Witches. Thats rough.

Well... Shit...

Hannibals own troops were equipped with Roman kit and were excellent fighters. Zama was really fought by 3 Carthaginian armies, the Romans beat 2 easily, these weren't Hannibal's men. They struggled against the third line, composed of Hannibal's best troops and the battle was decided by the...

A treaty is written out that strips a few areas away from the periphery of Romes territories, Rome is frustrated and continues to expand North and into Greece Eventually chafing under the terms of the penalties it declares war on Carthage and a 3rd war is fought. Hannibals men he brought over...

IIRC the garrison were stripped out in one of the many civil wars and attempts to shore up the continent, then never put back. The Legions were also heavily subsidised and required a lot of tax revenue to maintain, I believe some theories suggest that what garrisons were left did stay locally...

Mon centre cède, ma droite recule, situation excellente, j'attaque. - My centre is giving way, my right is retreating, situation excellent, I am attacking. I love Ferdinand Foch
