He was commonly called Duleep in real life, when he lived in Britain (and I was writing from memory so I forgot the 'u'...).Has Delip changed his name?
Yes, Dalip is having a blast in Paris. But soon he will be recalled to Punjab, where his decisions will ultimately shape the future of the subcontinent...
In OTL the pamirs weren't explored until the 20th century and the only passes found were shut to all but hard mountain troops (and shut to everyone in summer because of flooding and winter because of snow). One hypothises that the events of this AAR would mean the regions are more extensivly mapped and explored earlyer, the same goes for the Taklamakan Desert.
Thanks CaptRobau! You may find the Australian AAR a bit disappointing (I mostly made it for the upside-down maps), but with the rest I have striven to rock as hard as conditions and my own increasing experience allowed.
