So deeper in Russia, and facing stronger ally forces in Normandy and Southern France and extra front in Greece. Bagration coming up, even more brutal fight perhaps for the Soviet Union and Germany on the Eastern front. The Soviet Union may not be first to Berlin, If so I hope the Western Allies...

The Roman army at a price has really won its goals, fighting through the Zargos mountains does not sound like a good idea. Iskander needs to go on or loose his attempt at the throne, and most likely die. Mesopotamia has been broken, the borders will be advanced, the remaining Muslim population...

Is there not also the issue a lot of the German pilots shot down and survived are more likely to remain prisoners of the Allies? No release of prisoners held by the French after the capitulation.

I'm caught up on this, a worthy timeline indeed. Following the North Africa campaign on this map. https://www.britannica.com/event/North-Africa-campaigns

That helmet will not last long in any kind of trench warfare, pretty much screams shoot me.

And they fooled you as well.

Good to see you back, and this timeline of course. Of course it not finished yet, we do need to see the ultimate battle when the U.K./France take out the Nazi moon base.

You hate Fire Ants, not a nice person, they are what they are, unlike a Nazi they choose that.

The Germans do seem to be reducing to a war of attrition, not a good thing for them. Hungry nation to the east of them, pay them for resources needed, fight them if must, not a good thing.

Not sure a big enough difference in time to make a big change.

It did seem likely to happen, not a given but depending on the rulers or lack of them on both sides a opportunity is to be seized on. One needs to conquer new territory, to prove worthy of their father. Seems the question may be if this is a step to far for the Argead empire, will this be a...

Thank you for that article, was very interesting, does seem to be very little used.

Is there any estimation, of how often this was used in Roman times? Brutal, but effective? Backlash seems probable, seems risky. A more British/American expression I would think they were afraid there division would be gutted.
