I just looked at the OP to see if we had a map I could use. Is that map in the OP for ants?

I thought that was already undone.

It's a shame we don't have the technological advancements from Nazi Germany. I would be able to overlook literally anything if I got my Half tracks and MG-42.

@Rain

Spain has Halftracks so I think we can assume most major countries have, or have had, halftracks. Germany included. As for the MG-42, I could make up a machine-gun that is basically an alternate history equivalent, if you'd like, and then you can say they are common black-market/surplus weapons used in developing countries, or something.

Really, it's just a matter of making up a name and changing the aesthetics to something more alternate-history. Nothing is stopping you from making up guns that resemble real weapons of the period. Just don't make them exact copies unless they were created before the time divergence.

If it means we can start the great German-American Alliance, I'm all for it.

@Byrd Man

I've got a lot of lederhosen to trade if you're interested.

So I've been thinking of getting back into this shit. But I won't do it unless I get to clean up Germany's canon and pretty much undo Feo-era Germany and all the weird shit that happened afterwards as a result of me trying to make sense of it.

I was talking to Vilage and he was helping me come up with a history that makes more sense. I was writing something but then took a break and forgot about half of it. But basically, new Germany, for starters, will not be Prussia. That shit's weird.

I suck at writing sheets so I don't know when I'll have something up.

It's been a while since I've read up but I think the "government" of Russia, the Republic, is basically a bunch of incompetent asshats that are severely under-supplied. There are other factions though, so there isn't an official Russian government. It depends on who you ask. If you ask the Chinese, they'll say the eastern Russians in Siberia are the legitimate government. If you ask the Spaniards, they'll probably say the Republic are legitimate. If you ask certain rebel factions within Russia, they'll say neither are.

The Eastern Russians are backed by the Chinese, so they have Chinese equipment and reinforcements. The Republic has a shitty government going, so they have more organization than some of the other factions, but they are still probably under-supplied. The Western Russians near Finland are backed by China, but they are isolated and literally go around on horses and carriages because they have no supplies.

Russia is our equivalent of Africa, pretty much. It's a clusterfuck of rival factions and warlords. That said, they probably aren't manufacturing much of anything.

The technology is more along the lines of 50s-60s, with a few things here and there that step into 70s territory. But don't assume that means that we have the same vehicles and guns as real-life 50s and 60s. This is alternate history, so people who may have been needed for the creation of certain weapons may have not survived, or maybe they did but they're just farmers instead of weapons manufacturers. Or maybe they are weapon manufacturers, but their visions have changed drastically and their designs are different.

So basically, just make up guns and vehicles that fit the alternate history aesthetic, while still using 50s-60s technology.

Googer already fulfilled that one.

I will consider posting again if certain demands are met.
