Quick update...

-
I've added segments 53.3 and 54.1 to the 'Second World War' time line page.

Also, regarding Segment 54.2, my goal is to have it ready before the end of April.

So where are you on your goal since you missed the end of April?

And please tell me you didnt kill off Rommel just to kill off the new guy next - Germans are running out of generals.

The Germans are not running out of generals.

Then lets say they are running out of interesting ones - although we havent seen Heinrici or Wenck (both were great defensive fighters) yet and unless I missed it Manstein is still alive.

Some of the best generals would be dead or retired by now just from old age or sickness as well.

Speaking of generals - with the AfD/US alliance now shouldnt Eisenhower be making an appearance?

Out of curiosity how many nukes have been dropped so far?

If my count is correct, the US has dropped 40 since January 1948, and the British have dropped 4 since April 1949. So say 44.

My new goal is to finish the new part by this weekend. Even though I missed my April deadline, if I can finish by this weekend that would still be faster than average for me.

Bobby is Manstein still alive? Havent really seen him mentioned much and he was a big factor in many campaigns in OTL.

Manstein should still be alive, unless Hitler had him shot after he was removed from command of Army Group South in PART 49.3 for being a "weak defeatist."

Bryansk and Orel remain in Soviet hands although the German breakthrough at Smolensk does threaten them.

Major edit to Segment 55.3

-
Hi all, After a lot of thought I've decided to make a major change to Segment 55.3 I have removed the reference to the Germans using biological weapons against the British. Instead, their retaliatory attack is limited to the VX chemical attack. I decided that it just doesn't make sense for the Germans to escalate to bio at this point, especially given the unknowns involved.

Shattered World - Segment 53.3 "Leningrad und Smolensk, oder Tod" Nuclear fire blossomed like the all consuming brilliance of some ancient warrior god. In the middle, hell boiled and reached upwards for the heavens. All around, concentric circles of overpressure extend out to snuff out life and property like a million angry fists, smashing all before them. 40 kilotons of death and mayhem, delivered from the great predator birds of war - flying far overhead, now withdrawing eastward with fighters in vain pursuit; like gnats pricking the giants of old or hawks throwing themselves at the Earth in desperate rage. Shifting the viewpoint downward and out to sea, to the inferno that had been the Island of Okinawa. The battle lines are stark, brutal scars cutting their jagged path across a tortured terrain becoming more that of nightmare by the hour. Craters dot the land, making it appear like the surface of some hostile alien world. Off the coast, gr...

Shattered World - Segment 53.2.2 It was approaching 2:00 in the afternoon local time and the 500 B-31's flying high over the Pacific due east of Sakhalin Island stretched for miles and miles, formations of the huge bombers glinting in the bright sun like a string of pearls draped over the blue ocean below. Captain Dan Wood had been on nearly a dozen similar missions, but those had been to the south over Honshu and Kyushu. This was his first mission this far North, and from what intelligence had said he wasn't looking forward to what awaited him. This raid was the biggest attack launched against Japanese oil facilities on Sakhalin so far and it was also the first large daylight raid. But no one doubted that the Japanese were waiting for them. "Look sharp everyone, we're getting to within range of Jap fighters" Dan said into the mike, glancing at his co-pilot with a slight nod. And, sure enough, a couple minutes later word ca...
