"Mr Hughes Goes To War" on SHWI and it's hard on for the Hapsburg monarchy.
I actually would cite it as one of my favorites. I wouldn't say it's a hard on, just a low probability outcome for Karl."Mr Hughes Goes To War" on SHWI and it's hard on for the Hapsburg monarchy.
Lots of timelines have flawed ancillary bits? I feel like the main timeline centered on Hughes and his action and Karl and his is interesting.For a start, I don't share its author's implicit optimism that Poland grabbing even more territory in Belorussia and Ukraine will work out any better than OTL, despite alt-Poland having a Bourbon as monarch, as the same politicians are likely to be in charge and will have the same as OTL policies of trying to forcibly Polonise the country's minorities.
Marching through Georgia possibly just because of how wanked the Draka are. I never read the later books and I don't know if I want to.
I've heard that they have a good literary reason to be-it's a sort of "what if the villains got all the (however unrealistic) breaks?" Heard, haven't actually read it.

Also in making sure I had the title right I've just noticed Stirling looks like "WI Salman Rushdie had hair "
Fallout: New Vegas intensifies.Shit you not. This is the wiki entry for it.
Yeah, the concept is 'what if there was a bunch of really really evil bastards who also kept winning even when they shouldn't'.
Only it's difficult to think of a concept I'm less interested in then that.
Which TL was this?"It was widely known that the Soviet Union had for a long time pursued hyper-liberal economics" is probably my least favourite line from a TL. Or maybe it's my favourite.
Can't remember. 1970s setting I think.Which TL was this?
"It was widely known that the Soviet Union had for a long time pursued hyper-liberal economics"
It... was not.This makes it sound like this line was written by the tankiest of Tankies. Someone so left wing they make Khruschev look like Ayn Rand
