Just stumbled onto some things that might be interesting, I know not everyone likes STL because 3D printing is basically an expensive hobby all on its own. Here is a small light walker that ...
@Mark Dewis oh yeah organised crime is definitely a part of everyday life. Regardless of whether prohibition passes or not, on the battlefield the US like the CSA is still a relatively minor f...
@Caratacus Exactly, you got there right before I did. In this setting China would probably try to stay neutral but Japan is already a major belligerent and it's unlikely that China would be ab...
@Steven StGeorges Yeah, sorry I didn't follow what you were getting at, but you're 100% on the money with the Spartan analogue. I'm just using Bolsheviks as a shorthand for the Russian revolu...
@Steven StGeorges Russians go east exactly, the Bolsheviks fled to and control Russian America(Alaska) and have established their own communist state, though it's not recognised by many. I ima...
@Steven StGeorges Spartans? Man, I don't know. If you take an unglamourised look at the Spartans as a society, then the CSA is probably their full on spiritual successor in setting. In re...
@Steven StGeorges oh man, I shouldn't have written anything referencing Ayn Rand. I think you're correct that there's going to be a strong New England influence(women getting the vote so early...
@Steven StGeorges Native Americans uniting to carve out their own territory would make for an interesting campaign. So the CSA is definitely not our Confederacy, they had to develop a b...
@Grumpy Gnome Exactly, the US is some kind of Randian State, where the rich get richer and the poor have "freedom".
@Caratacus not to get too pedantic, but Hawaii was an recognised independent kingdom, from 1795-1893 when it was annexed by the US. Feel free to check the Hawaiian Kingdom entry on ol'Wikipedi...
So just a quick note on the ACW or American War of Secession as it's know. The southern part of Maryland joined the confederacy leaving Washington D.C. completely surrounded by enemy states. The Un...
@Mark Dewis hmm, that's good enough for me. The US really needs something like a group of motivated industrialists, whose work keeps the country competitive when surrounded by so many unfriend...
@William Ings It's important to remember that part of the core concept for this setting is that the Nazi party and the socioeconomic situation that brought it about wouldn't really exist,...
@Steven StGeorges Yeah, Nikola Tesla is such a mainstay of the genre, I've been wondering about what to do with him, in our world he went to the US. The question is, if the US isn't such an at...
Some thoughts on possible units. Apache mercenaries, the Apache fighters cemented their fearsome reputation fighting in conflicts throughout the Americas. I think this would be an interesting unit...
So the US doesn't have a pacific presence like it did in our timeline. Hawaii for example is an "independent kingdom" though is host to a large Japanese naval base. The Philippines are still part o...
@Caratacus So for starters, I'm definitely not a game publisher or anything like that. I was just putting this together for myself and thought I would share, a hack-able setting that lets you ...
I've been looking for some 17th Lancers waterslide decals for 28mm and can't find anything, anyone know where I might be able to find some? I'm happy to just go the custom route, but I'm actually k...
@Steven StGeorges hahaha, literally what I was doing over my coffee this morning. It's funny I don't think I've actually bought any GW models for over a decade, but I buy plenty of bits, Mecha...
@Daniel Broaddus personally, I'm mostly interested in a diesel punk weird war setting to accommodate models I already own, or am slowly(sigh) acquiring. I already had more than a few British&n...
@Steven StGeorges I actually had to look up Castle Falkenstein, played a lot of Cyberpunk over the years, but don't think I ever leafed through the pages of CF. Same for timeline 191, familiar...
@GreenScorpion Portugal and her Colonies are very relevant, but it's part of the Brazilian Empire. The Portuguese court transferred to Brazil in 1808(or something, I'm not going to look up the...
@Grumpy Gnome it's definitely entertaining. I was mostly just trying to come up with a scenario that would increase the technology and prolong the war and add possible interesting new factions...
So, I'm working on a little alternative history for a diesel punk setting. Part of the inspiration was how I wanted to use DF Les Grognards, and my being slightly bored with all the Weird War 2 stu...
I picked up some Codename Colossus STL files for my French and Germans, wish they'd release the British models in 1:48. They also have some resin models as well. https://machinationstudio.co...
@William Ings in the first post I was totally bashing "traditional" fantasy creatures in sci fi war gaming. However, I gotta admit that Grognards Centaur looks ridiculously cool. Centaur Drago...
@John Wilson the Shadokesh are exactly the kind of thing I'm getting at, If you squint there's a tiny bit of the "Alien" in the ferals, but it's not a repackaged Tolkien race. Some of you gu...
Oh man, there's so many great rule sets out there, I don't even know. Planet 28 and Stargrave are great, I've never played Rogue Planet, but want to give it a try. I almost never use the min...
I'm just going to share my personal opinion up front here, I am so tired of 40k proxy miniatures. I know a lot of people see Death Fields and immediately think IG proxy, and I can see that, but I a...
Valkir are simply the best sci-fi "knight" miniatures I've ever seen, I got my hands on a single DF Valkir model in a random bag of eBay bits, and have been hunting for more ever since. If a...
