It's official

The "need" for alternate history timelines in the naval series is relatively obvious.  With only a few hundred battle and operational scenarios the historical engagements in both world wars have been virtually exhausted.  For GWAS and SWWAS fans those ships have to have multiple flags, countries need to switch sides, unbuilt ships need to be put into operation, etc., etc...

For PG, with over 2,000 scenarios and a number of campaigns which remain untouched (Market-Garden, Bagration, Kharkov, Sicily, Balkans/Greece, CHINA, etc., etc.) there is no need to go into fantasy land to find ways to add to the fun.  Certainly the Iron Curtain scenarios are fun and Iron Wolves was a blast BUT, if there is a choice between reality and fantasy I will vote for reality every time.  It is hard to imagine an ahistorical timeline that could match the variation between Conquest of Ethiopia and the large tank battles in Road to Berlin.

Having said that I would probably buy the darn things but only because I own all of the products that have ever been produced already and my OCD will probably kick in.  That is, however, a symptom of a sickness rather than a rational choice
