[QUOTE="jonrog1, post: 529372, member: 189"] Really sterling damn peace of work there, lads. I'm a fan of counterfactuals myself, and you've all done some great work. A few suggestions for flavor. Anyone more knowledgeable than I in specific factors, please correct and contribute. -- Kemal Ataturk, Western-style reformer of Turkey, died in 1938, but his unfluence and the influence of his followers could have moderated the development of your proto-Arab world. An eminently reasonable, parliamentary style government under your Arab King could be interesting -- and seeing as they'd be the most stable area in the history, perhaps an occult or psi organization would be better established than in other places. -- Chang Kai-Shek was one tenacious bastard, and if the Flying Tigers, the American privateer airmen, expanded into a full mercenary expeditionary force (not taken over by the US government as happened because of Pearl Harbor) then there's an interesting, cool, guerrilla force or American legacy in China. -- U-boats were blowing up ships off the Jersey Shore after war was declared -- giving rise to one of the more interesting little forces in the war, by the way, a ragtag band of private yachsmen who patrolled the Long Island shore. Anyway, aggravated by the increased Lend-lease program, the Germans start poaching closer and closer to the shore breaking into open warfare, perhaps in the Hudson river. Could be another way of dragging the US in against the Germans. After all, Roosevelt was looking for any excuse he could to help the British. Sounds like a great game -- good luck! [/QUOTE]
