I feel the French or British (and the Americans) would have a lot to say about this.

Got to admit it sounds like we dodged a bullet here. Detective/Magician guy chasing cults around Britain sounds like it would run for a few years before being quietly dumped except when it shows up in thte odd annual or crossover in more popular strips as a kind of callback. Doubt it would ever...

Truman and MacArthur wrestling each other in a missile Silo over who gets to nuke the giant lizard smashing up Tokyo.

Honestly TTRL had to rework most of the previous lore to have a story at all. Basically everything before or around it had the Crossed happen everywhere simultaneously even aboard airlines and most capitals and governments were in collapse within a day or so with the last organised resistance...

I wonder if Churchill gets his Balkan campaign if he's talked out of Sicily/Mainland Italy.

@Thande I believe this is your arena?

Of course you need at least one episode that is bad and regressive and turns out to have been written by someone who wrote the same awful script in three other major sci-fi shows. It breaks my suspension of disbelief for this not to happen.

This is surprisingly interesting I can really imagine this show being a thing, it seems like something from the early 2000s but somewhat better than a lot of what was on offer.

If there is an Alt WW1 1914-1918 seems rather unlikely.

Its been a while since I have read them but I seem to recall a gradual slowing and entrenchment on most of the fronts actually shown.

It's fun but I don't think realism comes into it with trench warfare over several hundred miles of front. Just way too vast to have that kind of defence in depth

What colours do they prefer on maps?

I feel that in such circumstances they either get slaughtered or they get brutal enough to win a civil war in which case see USSR or the PRC.

Which would have ruined the emotional beats of at least two stories plus a hilariously awkward one shot where he has to flirt with his stalker.

Interesting stuff, I think what we landed on OTL was a superior product. Dredd and the Justice Department really work best as a bunch of warrior monks pretending they aren't human because it lets you have your cake and eat it story wise. You can cheer them on as they rule a dictatorship...
