  1. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

  2. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    Hey, good to chat again :) - I'd written a lot of draft material, but going back over it, I really need to rewrite to bring the standard up. The last two of three of years of pretty much ghost-writing has really helped, and I look back at what I'd drafted and go, hmmmmm, re-write needed! The...

  3. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    In the end, there would have been a lot more than that, and that's what the previous 54 pages was working towards. Finland's army was majorly outnumbered and outgunned, as was their air force, and yet the Winter War ended with Finland unoccupied. As did WW2. Helsinki was one of only three...

  4. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    When I started this, I'd intended it to be background for a series of novels. Waaaay detailed background, and I got far more down into the weeds than I actually needed to out of sheer interest in all the different aspects of this. In the end, I actually got far more interested in building my...

  5. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    No, it starts in the early 1920's, altho there's references to earlier history, particularly the economic and social aspects. But the kickoff was the mid-1920's.

  6. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    Ohhhh whoaaaa, it does date back a year or three doesn't it. That first post was back in February 2011, and the bulk of it was written over 2011-2014. Not a whole lot since then, for sure. Glad it made enough of an impression to remember though :) Not a bad idea. I imagine there's a lot of...

    Looking forward to reading more

  8. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    Hi everyone, I know, I know, it's been a couple of year since I last posted on this thread, and a little more since I actually a posted some content, but it's coming back from the dead to continue (the thread, not me. I'm very much alive). And thx CalBear for unlocking for me. Much appreciated...

  10. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    Well, it's alive but I haven't done anything much for months. I have to kick my ass into gear and keep working on this - for the last year, I've really been concentrating on improving my fictional "novel writing" skills fairly intensively, with a series of actual novels planned for which this is...

  11. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    In TTL, the Soviet Union does not attack Finland at the time of the German attack on the Soviet Union in the Summer of 1941. Finland partially mobilizes but remains neutral. With Stalin dead, the triumvirate ruling the USSR sees no value in attacking Finland and other than maintaining defences...

  12. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    The Last Stand of Field Kitchen 193 That said, some of you probably remember that post I did on Arabella Jakobsen. Been working on that novel of and on - just worked through the last chapter in the Creative Writing Workshop I'm going to so here's a revised and updated version of that. Just...

  13. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    No, have a post coming up, but between work and working at writing the actual alternative history novel(s) to go with this, I'm not doing a lot on here or the axishistory forum at the moment.

  14. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    Apologies to all for my lack of posts in 2015 - been rather busy with work and with my "creative writing" courses - that all important first novel is being worked on - aiming to have my first draft of "Rannikkojääkärit" completed for June, in time for a 3 day intensive writing workshop. Most...

  15. What If - Finland had been prepared for the Winter War?

    Hey, I know what you mean about the walls of text. I look at it sometimes and go "Holy S$#!, did I write ALL that!" Anyhow, thx for perservering and I'm happy you enjoyed it so far. It's definitely not dead. Working on a couple more series of posts at the moment. But don't have as much time as...

  16. There Is No Depression: Protect and Survive New Zealand

    The NZ Army had huge numbers of old Bedford trucks - I think the Unimogs only came in sometime in the mid-1980's - I spent a lot of time in the back of those old 4Wd Bedfords. They could go anywhere and they were tough.....

  17. There Is No Depression: Protect and Survive New Zealand

    Yeah, I do remember a lot more CNG powered vehicles. Dad of a friend of mine had his Holden converted. The CNG tank took up a good half of the boot. It also made it hilarious when North Americans pulled into a petrol station and said "fill her up with gas" - Canadian guy I worked with did that...

  18. There Is No Depression: Protect and Survive New Zealand

    Oh yes, there were a lot of British vehicles. Triumphs, Hillmans, Ford Anglia's, Leylands (they were horrible), Austins, Bedford trucks..... you name it.

  19. There Is No Depression: Protect and Survive New Zealand

    Yeah, the vehicle manufacturing industry was still running altho it was largely assembly rather than manufacturing from start to finish. The flood of imports only started after Labour was elected and relaxed the controls on imports of fully-assembled vehicles. I'd see a bit of a boom in LPG...

  20. There Is No Depression: Protect and Survive New Zealand

    Okay, I apologise for coming in a bit late in the day.... Peter Jackson's family lived at Pukerua Bay. He went to Kapiti College up at Raumati Beach (same class as my younger sister who says if only she'd known....). When the bomb drops he was working for the The Evening Post (Wellington...
