Well, lassies and lads, here we are to continue with what I started in The Great War, with some changes to the original timeline and twists to make the try worth of doing it. I just plan to have a different WW2, avoiding some sad events of the conflict (mainly the Italian and French defeating themselves -1-) and doing some charming mischiefs all around.
Don't even think that I'm going to refrain from killing any politician, general, singer, actor, pet or whoever I deem necessary, as I did in my previous AAR. Let me quote Paul Fussell: "If in the First World War you're one over four million uniformed Americans, you're actually pretty anonymous. But if in the Second World War you're one of sixteen million, you're really nothing". How does that translate into this AAR? Easy: the more people involved in it, the more chances for mindless, wanton and random killing of historical characters for me. If you happen to have any historical figure that you want me to spare his life -or the other way round-, don't be afraid of mention it. Or be afraid, as you may be giving me some crazy idea.
I'll try to be as historical as possible, but butterflies were operating even before the timeline of this AAR began (as poor Stanley Baldwin may testify) and this may led to some "alternative" behaviour in some historical characters. However, don't expect a Neville "Terminator" Chamberlain, a berseker Lord Halifax, a humble and sensitive Charles de Gaulle or a common-sensical Duce. And no, Peti Niebla is not going to appear this time in this AAR. I do know that I'm going to be quite harsh with some people (or even with some countries), so I would like to be told when to calm down myself a bit if I happen to loose my marbles. Please, forward any suggestion, proposal or whatever you proper and right.
