The aliens destroyed it!

It is pretty sad that it took them until 2012 to get to the moon.
20
15, actually.

It's supposed to kind of show that the United States in the 60's was better than a modern Nazi Germany.
And nope, it ain't aliens.

*keeps suspense going*

OK guys, sorry I've been a bit out of the loop, but I was at my girlfriend's place all day... I'll try to post something tomorrow...
BTW, might the Goering 11's explosion have something to do with German Crown Loyalists who may or may not have had contact with certain other parties?
Also, I can't really see Switzerland joining Nazi Germany willingly... The Swiss people value their independence, democracy and neutrality far too much... As a matter of fact, there is this anecdote about an exchange between a Nazi Officer and a Swiss General:
Asks the (post-Austrian Anschluss, but pre-World War II) Nazi officer to the Swiss general: "Really, how many Swiss could you resist us with?"
Swiss general: "At full mobilization, I can have one million men and weapons at my command."
Nazi: But what if five million troops came over the border?
Swiss: Then I and my men would fire five shots each, and go home.

Oh, that's okay. One day won't stagnate us.
Nope, ain't that, either. *suspenseful music plays*

I'll give you a hint: I'm kind of thinking it has something to do with McCoy's strange knowledge of history... I'm still working it out, so it'll be a little while till the truth arrives.
Hmmm... I think you're right about the Swiss... It was kinda a random thing I stuck in there...

Am I correct in assuming that DC got nuked as well? If that is, in fact, the case, then I'm going to be doing some more modifications of the map.... Mainly due to the fact that pretty much everything EAST of Frederick would be radioactive, and in such a case, I'd feel justified in adding Havre de Grace and Perryville to the Freischteet (i.e. two areas that they were able to easily decontaminate and fortify to act as additional seaports)....
I don't really know... Strategy might make them just bomb it with missiles... If they wanted a quick, crushing defeat, however, the a-bombs would be flying. I'm thinking they wouldn't, as it is such a valuable area. The Lincoln Memorial itself is
supposed to be made of solid gold.

Final thought: My Idea for West Virginia is to have it controlled by various (large) over-clans (one of which is, in fact, the Hatfields... yes THOSE Hatfields), but have a central, mediating authority in the form of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) union, and them being one of the Freisctheet & Pittsburgh's key trade partners (mainly coal and timber), which is one of the main reasons that the Freischteet annexed most of Washington County, MD (maintain the I-81 corridor and rail links to WVA)...
EDIT: Actually, I just read your latest installment, and I have to say that the last comment made by the Freischteet operative is only half-right, and that's all you're going to find out until I get my chapter done tomorrow.

Yes! I want West Virginia in this. I lived there for many years. I know the families(dozens, literally, and yes, they are as backwoods and rivalistic as you think), I know the history, even the "West Virginia War," where we got the term "redneck" from the bandannas miners wore around their necks, have West Virginians in my own family, and I know the cities. It'd be so cool if I could write about cities I lived in and visited. For any of you who don't understand the importance of coal in WV, just watch the TV show "Coal" on Spike. That'll tell you everything you wanna know.

We knew people who lived right next to that exact mine, in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDowell_C ... t_Virginia although we lived quite a ways away. It's supposed to be the worst county in the state. In real life there are roaming muggers and gangs out in the woods, and it's dirt poor. One guy-we-knew's grandfather was the first man in the country to get a food stamp.
