Poor Conelly.Connelly always gets killed in j.f.k. t.l.
Obviously making CG alternate history came in during the middle of the planning period and that's going to be secondary to making it entertaining for the their main audience (hint hint, when you're planning to have CLAMP involved at the very beginning of your project, your main audience ain't gonna be the dudes wanking to alternate histories).
Well that's great and all, but this genre has rules and they broke every single one of them. So much so they could have simply made it a fantasy, changed nothing in the grand scheme of things, and avoided all this mess.
Well, you are better man than me, I couldn't make it through the first book. I got it as a free PDF and I still wanted my money back.I got al lthe Draka books and they were just so fuckin edgy by the end
Germans,not nazis.During WW2 nobody hear about any nazi state,but after that germans replaced germans death camps with nazi death camps - and now everybody belive in some mistical nazis.
Some people disagree with the way they feel the modern German government has been distanced from the atrocities of the Third Reich. Especially the way US history insists it was the nazis who did the bad shit, instead of the German people who did it. However, having known actual Germans, I would like to point out that according to them German school history classes actually teach the Third Reich as a failure of the German people, and not as an outside evil force taking control of everything.WTF are you talking about?
After 1956 germany started replacing german camps with nazi camps in their propaganda.After 1990 those nazis become poles.WTF are you talking about?
While its not really that bad, a personal pet peeve of mine is where in a monarchical tl the monarchy always ends up abolished, or relegated to a ceremonial position every time it reaches the 20th century. While this isn't an implausible political development, its a bit of a tired trope that has overstayed its welcome. The current UK parliamentary system for example was as a result of centuries of political developments over time. A slight butterfly could easily alter this. One such butterfly could be that the male line of the house of Hannover continues which allows for the monarch's role to be emphasized in HER majesty's government.I hate political t.l.s where the writer has their side always winning political elections .

Poor Conelly.
I’d read that just for the comedy factor. In fact i want to write that!They should have a timeline where Connally masterminded the assassination attempt as an epic false flag attempt in some elaborate scheme for him to seize the highest offices of American Power!
LBJ is next!!!
Ah, that one! The Stars and Stripes Trilogy is so bad it should come with a mandatory health warning.Anything by Harry Harrison, esp the alternate US Civil War one where the USA conquers the UK.
In my honest opinion, all "Nazi Germany win WW2 TLs" with a POD during WW2 or right at the start of WW2 are incredibly unrealistic.There is polish writer,Igor Witkowski which once specialized in german secret weapons during WW2.From 2014 he is writing about good aliens coming to save us from bad american way of life and Holy Mary.
Anyway,he wrote "Germania 1947" in which germans wins by:
1.Using sarin in 1944 to wile out soviets armies - not possible,sarin was not that good.
2.Destroy american armies with new tanks using infra red vision and infrantry with Stg44.Again,not possible - battles was decided by artillery by that time,and american artillery was the best in the world.
They could be stopped,but not routed.
3.destroy american bombers with Me 262,Ta183 and few Lippish P.13.Against,not possible - they all needed long airfields and have range worst then P.51.American would take losses,but win destroing jets on airfields.
4.Destroy english Lancasters by guided AA rockets.Not impossible ?
5.Go east and retake Poland and part of Ukraine using E.50 and E.75 tanks. Soviets ask for peace or surrender,i arleady forget.
Not possible - soviets had numbers.They could be stopped,but not routed.Especially,that german keep being germans and treated them like shit.
6.Launch V.10 with A bombs to destroy few american cities,use sarin to genocide London.Both England and USA ask for peace.
Not possible - USA would have 10 A bombs for i german,and stealthy B.35 bomber to deliver them.USA cities would be burned ? then germany would glow in night.And there would be nobody left to surrender.
All in all - worst possible alternate hostory.
Fear, Loathing and Gumbo and its sequel, Rumsfeldia.So i want to ask a question to the good people of this thread a question. What is the worst Timeline you’ve ever read on alternate history.com?
