I was referring to the one where the Aliens (the Race) attacks. I’d have loved to see more details in many respects. I’d love to read the second one, what series is it? I’ll have to go get it.
The ones I was referring to is the Settling Accounts trilogy, but there are only two books out right now. The titles of the books are in my last post.
Cool! Does one have to read the WWI series first, or can the story be picked up pretty readily from the beginning of this Trilogy? I’m heading to the bookstore today…
I think it would be best to start at the beginning, since Harry’s 3 series following this timeline have basically the same characters in them. To jump into their storylines in the middle may be kind of confusing. The order goes like this:
The Great War series -WW1
American Front
Walk in Hell
Breakthroughs
American Empire Series - The 20s
Blood & Iron (I’m reading right now)
The Center Cannot Hold
The Victorious Opposition
Settling Accounts Series - WW2
Return Engagement
Drive to the East
And the 3rd isn’t relesed yet…[:(]
I hope this helps!
I once made an alternate history He-162 W (wasser=water) a flyingboat version of the volkjager.
As alternate history was the premesis that germany had only one carrier (the graf zeppelin) and they needed others ways to get enough fighters in the air.
Thanks Glamdring! I shall start getting these books and start reading them. I did see an alternate history that I nstarted to mread form Harry Turtledove as well: “Days of Infamy”. It describes how the Japanese decide to invade the Hawaiian Islands after the Pearl Harbor attack to keep Americans from being able to strike back sooner and give them more time to consolidate their gains in the Pacific.

This type of modeling has been popular for ages. There are even decals available for the new Airfix TSR2 for what if schemes (US, Canadian, Australian, Desert Storm, etc). The forum has some interesting alternate histories and some great profiles.
On the book idea, one of my club members did a dio of a scene from Clancy’s “Red Storm Rising” which is still one of my favorite books.
So model what you want, plenty of us will enjoy it even if it isn’t “historically accurate”.
Sweet! One of my favorite books! Do you have pics of that dio? I would love to see it.
Duke,
Thought I had one on my site but couldn’t find it the other day. Depicts a British Chieftain knocked out with the Russians inspecting it or capturing prisoners or something. Been a little while since I looked at it.
If I can find it, I will post it up.
Alternative History or “What if” modelling is great fun.

The above link takes you to the build review of the Fairey Rotodyne featured in my signature.
Currently I am building a 1:72 Hasegawa F-20 Tigershark as a RAAF F/A-20A Tigersnake, which the RAAF chose over the F-16 and the F/A-18A during the early 80’s to replace the Mirage III.
Something a little different and when coupled with a thought out explanation or story, all the more fun ![]()

Sweet! I’ll be watching for it. Thanks.
