ROFL! I had that idea at work ages ago- can't you imagine mickey goin' "SEIG HEIL!"? 'Specially with the squeaky voice. Heh, the manager flipped when I did it though :D But the book, yeah. I'd read it, but the only copy I have is in French, which makes life a bit difficult because it's all...

The chick sure knows how to dress: see-through. :D

Hmm- Hitler assassinated November 1939- Remembered a hero? Oddness.

Hmm... Not based on the Australian Parliament at all... :rolleyes: Re: The executive officer; I have a certain fondness for Advocate. Particularly if he doubles as foreign minister, the Advocate becomes the country's representative to O.S.

Had a mad idea to put Vikings in modern Argentina. Let me know what you think. Kingdom of New Vinland Displaced by harsh winter in Vinland, roughly 1100AD, the Viking settlement moves South. Finding calmer climes on the coast of New England, they set up there. However, conflict with the...

*Shudder* The thing about the Russian civil war was that the Reds didn't just have Moscow and St Petersburg; they had the major portion of Russian industrial power at their disposal. They also had much wider general support from the Russian populace. They also had fantastic logistical support...

Forgive me for asking, but what're "eth" and "thorn"?

*Places tongue firmly in cheek and hands around a salt shaker* I personally liked the battle of Helm's Deep. Marvellous stuff, where a massively outnumbered force overcame terrible odds to last out the night until reenforcements came. All last stands in history should be judged against such a...

It's good to be evil. :D

Never played RIFTS. I came to roleplaying a bit late for it. BESM, 3rd Ed D&D, World of Darkness and GURPS are what I know. But anyway... And this "Lackeyan" idea is bunkum. Just because something *looks* like something else, doesn't mean it *is* something else. That's just too simplistic...

Tech: Dragonlance, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, Warcraft and Games Workshop's Warhammer worlds all display some fairly advanced technological doohickeys. Admittedly, most of 'em made by Dwarves, but gyrocopters, printing presses, steam-powered vehicles all take place. The technological...

Wow! Nice to see this one back in action. "Prussian Crisis" has now become a running joke in my Australian History classes by the way :D I'll mess with the scenario a little more by adding the little caveat that I forgot the first time around...

Ouch. On reflection that was a bit harsh. Sorry :o

They're called trams. Many cities make good use of them: Lyon, France; San Francisco, USA; Melbourne, Australia. Naming but a few.
