Vale, you always cook. Excited for more! The Battle Order video should hopefully draw a lot of people in— you've got something special here, a really wonderful and rich mix of speculative fiction with alternate history, a blend of well-researched background with an impeccable understanding of the horrid vibes of the 21st century and the moment we live in. Good stuff, man. Keep it up! 🙌

Saw the April Fools with Battle Order and the Templin Institute. I'm glad that your setting is getting wider recognition.

So this is the Chapter that Battle Order adapted for his video.

not quite, i wrote the script for the battle order video and then i was inspired and decided to flesh out the ideas i had!

Ah, well I'm glad you did so, It's a good chapter, with my only confusion being what a "Perc" is. Nevertheless, working with battle order was a great idea to get your universe more exposure to people. Personally, I first found this about a year back through your twitter, but Battle order's video reminded me of its existence and let me come back what posted in the meantime, and it would have introduced me for the first time if hadn't previously heard of it.

That could be something you do more of in the future. The current tensions with China make your visions of a first and second Sino American wars a very compelling topic to cover, and there may be more youtubers interested in covering the topic.

Perc is slang for PLA soldiers — comes from pronouncing "PRC," and of course is also slang for Percocet.

I'd love to make more videos but its a skill i don't possess so it would be dependent on this video being successful and battle order being interested in doing another.

Nice work dude. Like really good work on these so far. Cannot wait for the next one. Though just two questions

1. What happens to the lancers?

2. I know I kinda asked this, but is there any like people who get old garands or civie guns and wage an insurgency? Kinda like the nsm in ghost fleet.

Lancers?

Guam doesn't have that much small arms, so probably not much but you probably have able body men on free Guam/Rota/Saipan being conscripted into what are basically auxillary minutemen units to support the professionals/reservists.

Beautiful love the bone. Also what’s the main us coin aircraft?

Expand full comment

don't think the US would have a dedicated counter insurgency aircraft tbh besides maybe some A-29s

Hmmm really? I’d figure with the Middle East being a burning hellhole because of the collapse of just about any semblance of a local power. We would invent more In coin. Also what about the at-208?

This stuff is amazing, almost feel like something out of the old school Halo novels.
