  1. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Just finished my playthough as Samara (Bunyachenko) to get a feel for the new economic system. I wish his "Kombinat" mechanic was fleshed out more, along the lines of Novosibirsk perhaps. One thing I found kind of puzzling during my playthrough - why would his regime align itself with the...

  2. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    I was thinking recently about spaceports in TNO. In All the three major powers have their own space programs. We know that America's spaceport is at Cape Canaveral just like OTL. Are there any mentions where Germany's and Japan's spareports are located? For Germany I assume their program is...

    In his superregional tree Bunyanchenko forges close ties to Japan. And in his unification event it's mentioned that his Russia alignes with Japan. I wonder who would be his successor since he is in his 70's by the time of the unification.

    Shaf could definitely use a rework

  5. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    True, Omsk's end goal is annihilation of Germany. However, they seem to be sane enough to prepare for a nuclear war (a.k.a. the National Redoubt project). And the Great Trial probably involves doing some actual damage to Germany instead of being nuked right away. So I think Yazov would bide his...

  6. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    I’ve been thinking. The Second West Russian war is pretty much inevitable, because even liberal Germany wouldn’t just give up it’s conquests in the East (due to political and economic reasons) and revanchist sentiments would be strong even in most liberal Russian regimes. So, I wonder what...

  7. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    There was a reactor shut-down due to failure of fuel rods at Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, Russia, in 1983. Failure of automatic shut-down at Salem Nuclear Power Plant, New Jersey, USA. This was covered-up as a national security matter, 1983. And I think there was a nasty nuclear accident in 1988...

    Not yet, I think. Probably in the 300-400 million range, really depends on the death toll in China and India.

  9. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    to be honest, it would be really hard to overtake China in terms of body count, which probably exceeded tens, if not hundreds of millions at this point.

    Turns out, I missed the last update. So now it's on. Again, to quote Kian Liu "No one at the time apparently thought to look at the calendar, because it occurred on October 1st, the thirtieth anniversary of the Revolution. How fitting an epitaph to the Great Helmsman's Revolution - mass murder...

    The CSA only has access to smaller yield, shorter range nuclear weapons, deployed via cruise missiles, smaller aircraft (like the B61) and artillery. ICBMs, strategic bombers and ballistic missile subs are out of their reach. Although some of the weapons at their disposal are still devastating...

    Japan re-arming and sliding into militarism got me thinking. Are the Soviets and the Japanese going to settle the Kuril Islands-Sakhalin dispute?

  13. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I don't think Rummy was stupid enough to neglect his nuclear forces during the privatisation. Even OTL Russia in the 1990s kept them in good shape. However, most nuclear sites (Malmstrom AFB and Fairchild AFB for instance) are well within the Western United States, and will most likely fall to...

    Good old fashioned deterrence, most likely. Remember, before the Civil War the CVs are in control of the US nuclear arsenal. Or to quote Kiang Liu: "in the end he believed - or convinced himself - that the Americans and Soviets were so in awe of him that they would not dare attack"

  15. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    *finished reading the last update* Well, it just keeps getting worse and worse with no end in sight. With Doug Coe at the helm it looks like all bets are off. I wonder how much longer till the CVs get the US Armed Forces revolting against them. An American version of GKCHP, perhaps? Also, I...

    I wonder if They Live was made TTL. Maybe it was made in Europe/Canada and became an American cult classic, since it would probably strike a cord. Speaking of TTL John Carpenter and his movies, I wonder what Kurt Russell is up to.

    Congress trying to impeach Pat Robertson?

  18. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I wonder what happened to Erich Honecker TTL. My best guess by mid-eighties he got eased into retirement by the Soviets in order to pave the way for German reunification. Maybe the Soviets might find a more dynamic figure to replace him, maybe even cultivate him and SED to be a legit political...

  19. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I wonder what happened to Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen.

    Gorbachev certainly wasn't as loony as TTL Rumsfeld, but during his reign the USSR disintegrated.
