And here's why the Germans were a bit suspicious of Paratroopers after 1941 in our world:
I learned how to love paratroopers
Battle of Crete - Wikipedia
Can I just ask if anyone knows where an older article from the Kaiserreich Wiki about Alfred von Tirpitz and the Osthifeskandal can be found?
I've been pondering the Second American Civil War quite recently and was struck by the thought that the various factions involved would almost certainly use the same rank insignia for the duration of this conflict - assuming that the Combined Syndicates deign to employ conventional military organisation at all, which is by no means guaranteed - given that, in most versions of the conflict, this isn't a War of Secession (As per the War between the States) but something more like a succession struggle, with various interested parties fighting to either make themselves the governing Administration or convince all competitors that the Election was valid and that the Boss Man has been President of the United States all along.
Whether the old US rank insignia would continue to be used after the Civil War depends on how that conflict ends, of course.
Of course if the assumption above is correct, then differences between uniform, equipment, flags and other symbols would play an even more vital role in helping soldiers of the various factions avoid shooting down their allies, rather than their enemies: may I please ask if there is any kind of 'Series Bible' giving us an idea of what the diverse factions of the Second American Civil War might be waving, wearing and wielding during that conflict?

Ukrainian history is so different from OTL that probably not. Oligarchs were mostly product of transition from communism to capitalism. So this wouldn't happen unless Ukraine become communist/syndicalist or some other things happen what could lead such corrupt oligarchist system.

The CSA focus tree gives us the idea that in the beginning they're more focused on getting guns and uniforms to their militias. When their opponents don't collapse in a month like they expected, they start focusing on building a proper military.
I think the CSA should be like Argentina and be able to reform the USA after winning the civil war. Many of those figures are American patriots, but left wing, they want to free their country, not to make a new one.
Norman Thomas himself said that flags must be washed, not burned, he would restore the USA.

It would be interesting if there was a mechanic where CSA players choose between completely breaking with all semblance’s of the past USA or really playing into the ‘completing the American Revolution’ narrative and keeping the aesthetic of the USA. An important factor in whether that happens or not should be the SPA won the 1936 elections or not. If they did, then that would push them towards trying to keep some continuity with the old USA such as not writing a new constitution but ‘amending’ the Constitution to fit their political. If they do not get elected, that pushes them towards completely breaking with American history, writing a completely separate constitution, changing up the rank system, etc.
Does that mean you could see a situation in which the CSA successfully overthrows the military junta installed by MacArthur and then simply restores the democratic system that was in place before the Second Civil War, but run along left wing lines?
Does anyone have any idea what ultimately became of Mao Zedong in the Kaiserreich universe? I cannot help but be curious.
Not only the MacArthur junta, I suggest that they could do that against the democratic US leaders too.
Also the team official answer on Mao is "irrelevant", but a Dev once said that he's a teacher in Sinchuan.
Hunan, not Sichuan. And, yeah, he's pushed out so that he won't suck up all the attention of the Chinese Socialist paths, far as I can tell.
Some people are pretty angry for China not having a Marxist Leninist path, what are your thoughts on that?
(I'm completely lost on it, just saying)
...I have to ask, have those people looked at the Left KMT? It's not strictly M-L, but it's a Vanguardist Socialist Party organized along Leninist lines by design from the Soviets.
As well, the "Wang the Revolutionary" path for the Left KMT fully embraces the hardcore Socialist wing, and if you go for Chen's Countercoup, even more so.
They did, I just don't have the permission to tell you who they are.
The closest we have to ML is Chen Gongbo counter coup, but it still isn't the CCP.
Well, yeah. The chain of events that created the CCP as we know it didn't and won't happen in KR, and M-L is in general discredited by the Reds losing the RCW. No reason to force a M-L path where it doesn't make sense. Most of their members are either with the KMT or in the United Front with them under the LCS/CSP.
That being said, the rest of China that hasn't been messed with since Blood on the Yangtze seems to be getting an upgrade by the group that did Shanxi and LKMT, so maybe a "proper" M-L path will pop up? IDK. Not likely, LKMT still probably has most of them.
