I'm thinking in terms of a contintal generalized war in the vicinity of 1900, give or take a few years. Off hand it reduces the number of armiured cars and trucks quite severely, probably removes tanks from the picture and almost certainly reduces aviation to the odd experiment, but I don't really have a sense of what, if anything it means... Submarines would be out initially, but Holland boats seem pretty likely to crop up over the course of a conflict in this era.

Would there really be anything all that different in a war tenish years earlier in any important sense? Are there any real wrenches in the works of a trench war along OTLs lines still being more or less the outcome? Would I be right in thinking that moving things a little earlier makes the static lines, if anything, harder to dislodge?
