Fall Grün
Hi Realismadder,

for your "Fall Grün" timeline, you should give all the related pages a title that ends in " (Fall Grün)". You can rename existing pages with the "move" button. Categorizing them would also help.--Max Sinister 22:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I was already working on renaming all the Fall Grün pages to include "(Fall Grün)". -- Realismadder 07:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Syldavian-Bordurian War
Although it would make for an interesting timeline, use of trademarks and copyrighted material is not allowed on this wiki--Marcpasquin 12:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * What about the alternative history Red Napoleon (an alternative history based on Red Alert)? Wouldn't much of that be copyright material as well? -Realismadder 15:43, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Its scheduled for removal, Dan gave rusty a little time to make a copy before its removed. --Marcpasquin 16:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * May I ask what is the problem with creating a story with only references to the old story? - Realismadder 16:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Its mostly the use of protected Trademarks, in this case "Borduria" and "Syldavia" as well as any fictional chracters and/or their distinctive likeness.--Marcpasquin 16:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Doesn't that limit the use of pretty much anything? I mean, with some decency the fact that the alternative histories with references to Red Alert (or here, the Adventures of Tintin) would inspire the readers to buy the game/buy the album, which in turn would give profit/promote the works to the author/publisher and EA Games (Red Alert). - Realismadder 16:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You would think so but some companies (such as paramount and game workshop) have been pretty heavy handed when it come to protecting their trademarks. Both of these companies have been known to send "cease and desist" letters to websites that were simply fan creation. Its mostly to avoid having someone spend months on something and then have to remove their material because the Powers That Be decide they don't like it. --Marcpasquin 16:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I would say they behave like douches. But wouldn't the copyright eventually expire? Afterall, the album I based the history on is quite old (1938) while Red Alert 1 is from 1996.


 * At least I can continue working on the Fall Grün scenario. At least here no one has made a alternative history and all photos needed has unknown photographers and are therefore not copyrighted. - Realismadder 16:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I pretty much have to agree with you regarding some companies behaviours. As to the copyright, its different depending on the country but is generaly the life of the author plus 50-80 years. In your case, as long as you don't scan images from the albums or use text verbatim, the problem you would have would be with trademarks (the names) which are renewable ad infinitum.--Marcpasquin 17:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * In case I should obtain permission of the publisher to write an altwiki article on this (with records to confirm the credibility of the permission) would it then be possible to continue? Realismadder 17:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thats a bloody good question. You would have to ask Nik (*our* Power that be)--Marcpasquin 17:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Flag of the Democratic Republic of Iran
I would think that the soviet regime would remove the religious writing on the flag.--Marcpasquin 16:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I would think that as well. Thank you for noticing it. Will be corrected ASAP. -Realismadder 18:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * EDIT: New flag finished: [[Image:Flag of the Democratic Republic of Iran.png|right|250px]]

Deutschland Siegt
For your POD, i suggest two things just a thought
 * 1: Invasion of the Soviet union is posponed until may 1942
 * 2: malta is invaded, in order to safeguard Axis supply lines, and allow additional re-enforcements to come to Rommel (7th Panzer Division Perhaps)
 * All good ideas, will take this into account. This idea is still in the planning stage. I plan this alternative history's POD should be my Fall Grün scenario. That would also give Germans time to modernise its army, along with Hungary, Romania and the other allies. But I would still like Germany to invade Poland at the same time as in OTL (but with a much more motorised army, having learned from their mistakes the previous autumn/winter).

Proposal
I'd love to know your opinion on this. --Karsten vK (talk) 15:14, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Nein
Hello, i created that AltHis, i feel is a good and not used idea, is open to your (and everybody) colaboration. it say '''"In 1921 promising German theoretical physicist Albert Einstein dies in his first visit to the USA. He never makes contact with Ernest Rutherford or Leó Szilárd and the Manhattan Project never born. A world without useful atomic energy or Nuclear Bomb, a world without the Person of the Century."  a ending WW2 W/o nagasaki and hiroshima, a cold war w/o nuclear develovmen or a hot war, a energy real and early problem w/o nuclear energy and reactors, a world were france or UK are simil power like Spain because none nation have atomic power, a world without Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), Biological and Chemical weapons ae the new Wapons of Massive Destruction, enjoy us and add your ideas, we will have fun, dont worry This is an open timeline'''. And for start a question, can eistein or anybody win a Nobel prize postmorten after her die? and i think URSS maybe invade hard-fastly east europe if USA have not the scary Fat boy, git it to my or write directly in the timeline some detalle about that, i know u know. Aniway thank U and i seen your work (sorry for any error, my engrish is...:) --Fero 00:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Cecil's society
could you help me in Cecil's Society, especially the Global War section (i.e table, belligerents and their flags etc.). thanks. Buk5 11:58, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Tank you for your help on Cecil's Society. Maybe we could co-operate on the idea and you could get the tables for countries etc, while i give the text and all that. Buk5 18:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, no problem. But I should remind you (and everybody else) that I am currently preoccupied with the current war between Georgia and Russia over South Ossetia, but I will do it when I have breaks from that. - Realismadder 19:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Doomsday Talk
hello, i think Talk:1983: Doomsday is a good place to talk about, hawaii, the maps, ovservations, ideas, nuclear power and evething, i dont like surf all althiswiki to do that, i just a opinnion, but there is where i talk. other point, U was organized your images, congratulation and thank you --Fero 01:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Dansk/Norsk Pages
Are you the one writing them all from an IP address instead of logging in? What I was trying to say was that if we don't have the (ALTHISTORY NAME) tacked on the end of pages, it's very easy to get confused and not know which Althist anything belongs to. I wrote in Swedish because it seemed that whomever's been writing them (you or someone else) doesn't know about or care to follow the naming conventions on this wiki. Louisiannan 17:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh no, that isn't me at all (different IP adresses for one thing), so it must be someone else. - Realismadder 17:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay...I wasn't sure, when you responded like that on the Haeren page. My goal is just to make sure that everyone keeps everything organized well.  Tak så mycket! Louisiannan

DS
What do you think of my Idea for the UN? Let me know. Buk5 14:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting idea. Was surprised when I noticed somebody edited the Anti-Comintern Pact. What is your idea for the UN? Similar to OTL, or something more like the Cold War NATO? Come to think about it, NATO would still be possible in this ATL (US, Canada, UK and France is still independent, and Brazil is also located at the Atlantic Ocean). Keep up the work. - Realismadder 14:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

would you say that the situation shown in DS is similar to Harris's Fatherland? BTW, could you help me in Hitler is an American---Version 1, Kornilovshina No FDR (part 11 onwards) and Большое Россия (Greater Russia)? Let me know. Buk5 14:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Inspiration comes from there, and, interesting enough, from the PC game Hearts of Iron II (what gave me idea for South America and Lithuania) - but I will also focus on South America, Sweden is neutral, UK and France is western allies (Hitler didn't in OTL intend to fight them, but was "forced" to when they declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939.
 * I can help you if you want, what in particular do you need? - Realismadder 14:42, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, Ideas, maps of the world, tables etc. BTW.  Here's an idea for DS.  There could be a Sino-Soviet split-esque fracture in the Pact between Germany and Japan.  Buk5 14:46, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I will look into it. About DS: interesting idea as well, will also look into a Romanian-Hungarian conflict, tensions in Iran, new war between China and Japan, new conflict between Argentina and Brazil, perhaps a "Czechoslovakia 1968"-esque invasion of a fellow Anti-Comintern Pact member state? - Realismadder 14:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I have some comments and ideas for DS:
 * 1) First of all, Castro should not become leader of Cuba. Without a dominant communist state, I think Batista would continue ruling the island for decades.
 * 2) Technically, a NATO alliance in this timeline is possible - instead of the Warsaw Pact, the Anti-Comintern Pact. Perhaps this is something to consider.
 * 3) Should there be any international organisations like the OTL UN, or will this be in the ATL forgotten due to the failure of the League of Nations?
 * 4) How will Morales become leader in Bolivia, when they are a rightwing dictatorship like Argentina and Peru?
 * 5) Perhaps a situation like the Sino-Soviet split is to be prioritised before they should collapse due to a UN invasion?

Regards, Realismadder 20:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

duly noted. However Castro is secretary General of the UN ATL, and BTW, is Brazil in the UN or the Anti-Comintern pact since they are red in the map? furthermore, i would suggest putting UN members in blue on the map. Any more suggestions? Buk5 21:27, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Brazil: I decided to keep Chile and Brazil - to make possibilites for Cold War conflicts. The map will be updated.
 * Cuba: He could have just remained a nationalist (as he was in OTL) and not combine it with socialism, but perhaps only with social democracy. He would anyway consider Argentina, Bolivia and Peru for a bigger threat than the US. A scenario has to be worked out.
 * Map: I have made a political map as well.

Deutschland Siegt Wars and Battles
I am happy to help with the military side of things. I have already started the page on the Romanian-Hungarian war, using ideas from the Transylvanian war page (returning the favor). anything else, let me know Das Taub 04:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

DS Japanese victory
One thing I have noticed is that the Japanese are still a player, and they own a large amount of the pacific. Here are a few suggestions as to how they could have won. These are all taken from the book ‘Rising sun Victorious’ by Peter Tsouras


 * Japan uses the ‘Hokoshin’ or ‘Go North’ policy and joins the Germans in an attack on the Soviet Union with Directive Otsu. This would draw off the Siberian troops, and hasten the collapse of Soviet Russia. This wouldn’t need the committing of the entire navy so the navy would be free to strike south the following summer.

just a few ideas Das Taub 22:26, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * When the navy does strike south, instead of striking pearl harbour first, they could attack the Philippines, drawing out the ‘Battlewagon’ American fleet, which would be decisively defeated by the superior Japanese tactics. (Carriers were not fully accepted at the time, and it was the wiping out of the battleship fleet at pearl harbour that forced the Americans to rely on carriers as the primary strike weapon) Then a strike on pearl harbour and perhaps san-Francisco. This would damage American morale enough so Japan could have its quick peace, which is what it would need to survive.


 * Good ideas, and I value your input on this. However, some thoughts of my own: (1) Japan would not engage the Soviets, as they had lost twice already. They would likely keep a threatening force there, and when the troops positioned in Siberia was moved to fight the Germans, the Japanese went in to seize the resource-rich areas in Siberia. (2) They would not seize French Indochina, but allies themselves with Thailand and attacks Burma. They could, as you suggested, attack the Phillipines, and then draw the U.S. Navy out in the open. However, a part of the carrier force would not be sent out, thus keeping a relatively dangerous, but not as threatening as OTL, force in the Pacific. This would frighten the Japanese from attacking the U.S., but the U.S. and Japan would eventually sign an armistice like the one between the USSR and Japan in 1940. - Realismadder 22:43, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The Russians would not give up Siberia without a fight, and no matter how bad it gets out west, some troops would be kept to guard the Far East. General Iosif Apanasenko, the Energetic, Optimistic commander of the Far East Military district was a very effective commander who would most certainly fight the Japanese to the proverbial last round. He introduced draconian measures, including mass conscription of Zeks from the Gulags. It was from there that he got two of the best commanders in the Far East, Colonel Pedro Grigorenko and Colonel Sergei Golitsyn. Both had been imprisoned during the Stalin Purges of the 1930’s. With commander like these, the Japanese would most certainly have a hard fight on their hands. For the war against America, an attack on the Philippines, followed by the destruction of the American battleship fleet, would shock the US into a punitive peace. With no true US territory attacked, the US public would be more willing to seek a negotiated peace. Das Taub 04:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Kornilovshina
Could you help me with it realismadder. Let me know. Buk5 18:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help on Kornilovshina. Maybe we could co-operate. What do you say? Let me know. Buk5 13:03, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure - I even found some photos of Lavr Kornilov, which I will upload. - Realismadder 13:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * thank you. Buk5 13:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry if i am annoying you, but in 1916, Russia had a population of over 180 million. How did that figure drop to 140 million by 2008? Let me know. Buk5 13:49, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * No, you are not, don't worry about that. This is a clear example of different sources contradicting eachother. I think the population, if I should base it on your world map, would be more similar to that of the USSR in 1991 (OTL). - Realismadder 13:53, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

About the wars in Kornilovshina as well as the other nations, could you help me? Let me know. Buk5 17:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with Russia. I am not good with the tables, nor the maps But maybe you are, while i fill in the text. What do you say? Let me know. Buk5 12:05, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, no problem. - Realismadder 12:50, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you think the page on Russia is complete? Let me know.  Buk5 12:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It's up to you. After all, it is your Althist. - Realismadder 14:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I probably would say yes. Now i think we should elaborate more on the other areas such as the USA, China, the war and the leaders etc. Buk5 14:09, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I am going to create a page for the USA for my Silent Heroes scenario, so I finish that one and copy it to the Kornilovshina Althist (of course with the appropriate facts). - Realismadder 14:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Buk5 14:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I haven't stopped it, but been busy with the Silent Heroes scenario. Studies also take much of my time, and the U.S. presidential election has recently taken its time as well. However, I will continue with it soon. - Realismadder 02:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Scotland looks/sound a nice as well, my cousin was there with the Norwegian Royal Guards some years ago. Sadly haven't been there myself, but I probably should. - Realismadder 20:21, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

 * A variety of places. I lived first in Østli (42 km north-east of Oslo), then in Bardu (55 km north-east of Narvik, 100 km south of Tromsø and 1051 km north of Oslo) and then in Oslo. - Realismadder 20:42, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
