Talk:What If? Essays (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

Conflict Parallels
As I had to draw parallels between the otl What If? essays and atl events, I took some liberties with the timeline. Naturally, our oh-so-brilliant mods had more concern on forcing parallels in world war I and II than any of the early conflicts closer to the POD. Uhg. but enough ranting.
