Please tell me you're gonna pick Norman Thomas for HOS and go MAXIMUM GANDHI for the extra challenge.

Lustful Man Hugs posted:Also, some real life figures have their political beliefs altered. Many of the more authoritarian socialists in this timeline were fascists in the OTL (such as Mussolini and Mosley), while Long was something of a leftist in our history. Interestingly enough, both Musollini and Moseley began their political lives at least nominally on the left. In fact, I think Moseley was at one point a labour MP.

Ungern-Sternberg amazes me in that he's pretty much a real life pulp villain. A man so cartoonishly, moustache-twirlingly evil that he perpetrated the only known pogrom of jews in Mongolian history. In his Kaiserreich techteam portrait he sports a homemade uniform complete with medals he crafted - and awarded to - himself. Pretty much the only dude in Kaiserreich's timeframe that could top Sternberg's over-the-top villainy would be Oskar Dirlewanger, but setting that aberration loose even in a world as dark as Kaiserreich's would likely be beyond the pale.

Syndie cap would be an internationalist, so he'd be Captain Americas, incorporating central and south America too. Once they're all united under the syndintern banner, that is.

Chief Savage Man posted:http://www.fakenamegenerator.com It's great that this LP's narrative isn't solely confined to the exploits of historical figures. It really brings home how by the people, for the people the revolution is and even the bit characters are flawed and complex enough to be compelling all on their own.

oystertoadfish posted:its almost as if all of the historiography in this alternate universe was, in fact, fiction written in ours That smacks of historical revisionism to me. Next you'll be denying the atrocities that happened under the twenty-year rule of the mad, conquering baron of Mongolia..

Obviously you're going to go for the Sid Meier's Civilisation strategy of putting Gandhi in charge and backing his words with nuclear weapons, yeah?

JT Jag posted:Just put the OTL founders of the People's Republic of China in charge, presuming they haven't all been killed already. Most of them are in Shangquing Tianguo I think, or off the board completely. Then again, who's to say Chief'll leave China united? Breaking it up into warlord blocs might make more sense in-story.

Kavak posted:Depending on what part of the world you're in, I imagine many of those horses are other draft animals, like oxen, water buffalo, camels, elephants, etc. Speaking of which, I'm going to be very, very disappointed if Chief doesn't build at least one elephant cavalry division.

Assuming the eventual goal is world revolution, I'm holding out hope that Russia and China either get involved before the big war is over or have built up enough to be challenging on their won.

If Canada's this timeline's North Korea, I can only wonder what its version of Vietnam will be. Possibly Vietnam.

Kavak posted:Yeah, Mittelafrika and especially her successors have really bad minister and leader lists. They're getting better though! Africa always gets shafted, even in Kaiserreich.  Seriously, though, great update. Mittelafrika deserves to be wiped off the map, pretty borders be damned!

Especially since in the Kaiserreich timeline I bet the CSA would have a fairly strong tradition of Christian lefties in office (Norman Thomas, for instance).
