    Most of it is a little better than that. Soviet victory in the Battle of Warsaw is a favourite for instance.

    Alternatehistory.com generally curbstomps the "what if Napoleon pursues and captures Blucher in the Six Days Campaign?" idiots with "Then he gets fucked up two weeks later by a Russian army." , but yes, a lot of it is what they call FSB or "flying space bats".

    Sometimes even that isn't too bad though, everyone loves a good Sunset Invasion.

      Soviet victory in the Battle of Warsaw

      It that had happened we might literally be living under communism right now.

      Damn poles.

      I am way more fine with pro napoleon fanfics, because the sentiment of "Fuck Britain" is one I can always subscribe to.

        Oh yeah, absolutely. Bad guys won the Revolutionary wars.

        (Incidentally, all I want in the entire world is a pro-French Regency Romance, and I cannot find one. Where are my dashing Revolutionaries?)

        I had the same notion as you, that Germany could have won WW2 somehow, until I saw this

        I kinda doubt Germany could have had total victory in WWII, Man in the High Castle level shit where Nazis rule the world was never gonna happen.

        Now if Hitler drove the Soviet Union into Siberia, I could maybe see them managing to hold onto most of Europe save Britain. This would require the fascists to give up on their endless expansionism, but if they did I imagine there’d be a Cold War between a Euro Fascist bunker state and a the Imperialist US-UK alliance.

        Aw shit just realize I did an alt history :(

          Man in the high castle at least acknowledges that the nazis were monstrous. But in the process it whitewashes the fuck out of imperial japan.

      Why settle for allegorical Flying Space Bats when you can have the real thing?

      FYI: if you're not down with the Liberation of Night you're a :LIB:

        Fallen London/Sunless sea/Sunless skies could be so cool if it wasn't the grindiest thing in the fucking universe.
