It's like Helldump but they skip straight to the bit where they tear into each other because they don't have any actual power or clout outside their community.

Combine that and all the wannabe authors seeing all their peers as competition to be nipped in the bud.

There's a timetraveler turns the tides story for every imperial setback. There's also a story about Russian timetravelers going back to win the war for Stalin in 1941.

So like individual events? Wouldn’t some of the later setbacks presumably not happen if preceding setbacks hadn’t occurred ?

It's not like a series where consequences tie into each other, it's a genre.

It's supposed to be one of these:


That little part on the left is the seat for the gunner to mount.

quote:

7.62mm Maxim M1910 machinegun on original Sokolov type wheeled mount with shield and legsextended to provide higher line of fire.

So there is a bit of incongruity here. The Russian version of the M1910 wasn't fielded until shortly before WW1, so it would've been too late to feature in the Russo-Japanese war, which was fought with older imported Maxim variants. So the artist didn't do proper research on this one. I'm sure the fans roasted him mercilessly.

Helldump if Helldump never had any good targets to begin with is a pretty good comparison, yeah.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
