what part of zeldaxlove64's Decisive Darkness is your favorite? You mean what i like of one of the most darkest timeline i have ever read, i like that it is the opposite of what really happen so many years ago.

The fact that it is being written by someone who has a reputation for being friendly and helpful is probably one of the main attractions of the "Decisive Darkness" timeline. Also, so, what battle chapter of "Decisive Darkness" is the best in your opinion?

The massive 4 chapter of operation molkte, so far i have not read any timeline that sees so many tank slaughter in it.

Yes, zeldaxlove64/Christina Grimmie told me in the meet and greet that Operation Moltke took about 10 days for the write-ups for all four chapters to be completed. Also, what do you think of zeldaxlove64 portraying the French as turning first to outdaded rifles from the First World War and then to spears and muskets to arm militia units?

A act of desperation it looked like.

Yea, the French leadership were very desperate and needless to say, elan and fanatical devotion to France, as zeldaxlove64 showed, were no substitutes for firepower. Also, what do you think of how zeldaxlove64 wrote Decisive Darkness?

I liked the first hand accounts she wrote into it, like the German Tiger III commander who is perplex that the French send wave after wave of tanks at him and the other German and Russian tanks who took part in operation molkte.

The tank battles from Decisive Darkness' Operation Moltke have no parallel in any other timeline with only the battle of Kursk from "A Hohenzollern Germany" coming close in my opinion. Also, what chapter of Decisive Darkness is the most heartwarming? Is it when the Allies liberate a concentration camp before they could liquidate the inmates?

Yes and it turned out that one of the relatives of a German soldier is found alive in the camp.

Okay, so, what do you think of zeldaxlove64's description of the battle of Antwerp, where a Franco-Belgian force under Leon Degralle's command after Alphonse Juin fled to Calais where he was eventually captured when Calais fell and due to Leon Degralle being both the Belgian dictator and the commander of the forces there, the 240,000 Entente Forces there had to be crushed with Sarin gas and due to the amount of Sarin used, zeldaxlove64 stated afterwards that "Antwerp is now uninhabitable for the rest of the 20th century"? Also, what do you is the dumbest decision the French and their remaining Entente allies make in "Decisive Darkness"?

Well, Portugal was the only Entente power who surrendered to the Allies IIRC in Decisive Darkness and they did so IIRC when the King deposed the Fascist Prime Minister Antonio Salazar as soon as the Americans landed in Galicia (the Iberian one). Also, what do you think of the description zeldaxlove64 made about Antwerp's fall? Finally, so, what do you think of the fact that the Russians in the latest update for Decisive Darkness nuked Toulouse, Bourges, Toulon, and Nice, destroying the largest unoccupied cities in France and what was left of the French surface fleet (a few destroyers, two light cruisers and the ancient pre-drednought Voltaire, which was basically little more than a hulk by now, to be fair)?

(OOC we are straying of course again, the Decisive Darkness is interesting but we are discussing the DBRP:70 years since the nuking of Marseilles universe).

Lordroel, what do you think of the fact our world has a five-way space race between America, Britain, China, Russia, and Germany with the British launching the first satellite, the Germans the first man into space, and the Russians landing the first man on the moon with China and America building the world's first space stations?

It is good, also the Germans and Russians teamed up to land the first person on the Moon and are working on a joint Mars program.
