    168 B.C. and Egypt

    OTL was already a Ptolemy wank.....they lasted the longest in OTL, and inbreeding caused the latter ones to go bonkers a bit... The Seleucids don't get enough love I think.....

    [Poll]Is the Ottoman Empire a continuation of the Roman Empire?

    Why is this even a question? It's blindingly obvious that it is not.

    AANW WI: No Horten Brothers Flying Wing?

    That falls falt when the Nazis did it AGAIN AND AGAIN. Which they immediately countered by building giant tnaks of their own that somehow works, while Nazi ones don't.

    WI: Philip of Macedon not assassinated?

    Philip might just build the more stable empire that Alexander didn't, albeit smaller. But hey, that means more for Alexander to conquer when he does show up :p. With all the wealth he gain, Philip might finally solve the Macedonian succession crisis, solidify the empire, and create a long...

    AANW WI: No Horten Brothers Flying Wing?

    It gets frustrating to see Nazis getting beat up, always. At least have them be semi competent, which is what they were OTL. That would have made an even more chilling, and, IMO, interesting and less predicatable, story. @CalBear , would you mind explaining?.....

    AANW WI: No Horten Brothers Flying Wing?

    D-day, the Luftwaffe, massive intelligence failures, falling for the same tricks REPEATEDLY...... The Nazis weren't that stupid, IMO. @CalBear , would you mind explaining?...

    AANW WI: No Horten Brothers Flying Wing?

    I've always felt the Nazis were handed the biggest idiot ball in the story, which was very good and well researched, mind, but....

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    Pergammon might decide to join the Triandra, if the Selcuids decide to get pushy about Asia Minor, although that doesn't bode well for future peace. Epirus might expand north at the expense of the Illyrians, with possibility of the Romans helping them, triggering another war.....Thrace will...

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    Maybe have Selucids look to the north (Parthia) or east (India)? Parthia is certainly doable at this point before they get as powerful as OTL later on, and India was always a dream for the Diadochi...with access to all the wealth of the East, I think that the Greeks would have a good shot at...

    I sense bankruptcy and a even worse Mercenary War after Carthage is through with this.....

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    The aforementioned Theureophoroi and Thoratikai are Greek examples of the light sword and spear troops like the Celts and Iberians, and I think that it is possible for them to be the equivalent of the mercenaries....

    Well maybe the time isn't right yet..... Up to Sersor really....

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    This pretty much, Phyrrus was good and he doesn't get shown too much, so it would be nice to see him accomplish more, and I doubt we want a repeat of OTL Rome wank so..... :p

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    Wouldn't Phyrrus have learned as well? Theureophoroi and Thoratikai (spearmen and swordsmen) are used by the Diadochi to great effect and was starting to replace the traditional phalangites and Hoplitai, and they also fight in the way the Romans fight. These troops that are newly available would...

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    Romans May have experience sure, but not against the phalanx of the Hellenistic world, but against the likes of Samnites and Etruscans, which use a completely different tactic. And in OTL Punic wars the consuls that fought against Hannibal were quite incompetent, if Phyrrus is even half the...

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    Phyrrus was a good commander, but strategically he was not the sharpest pencil in the box. His victories were only considered unsustainable when you take into account Rome's ability to replace their losses almost constantly.....

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    I think Phyrrus is being a bit stupid..... And is the quality of the Roman armies being degraded at all with mass levying?..... Phyrrus if he can pull off a few Hannibal-esque victories might be able to turn the situation around...

    The Massaliot league. A Hellenistic period Massalia Timeline

    But if they had jumped on Rome they could have gotten Sicily and got a better position, but now what do they have to gain by helping Rome? Do they expect to beat Egypt?..... Buy your TL, your way. :oops: Cool, can't wait.
