I must say I am very impressed with the newspaper.

Well done.

Thank you.

On a side note, I have a few more Alternate history newspapers if anyone'd like to see them.

Yes, please post them ;)
EDIT: Do you have them in a higher resolution? I´d really love to read those articles without hurting my eyes ;)

Ok... so, basicly I've just read small parts of this thread but it seems like you're posting prototype weapons/veichels...

Anyhow if there would be a future "Special weapons map" (like the map "Alpenfestung, 1945" and some other maps in FH1) I wouldn't mind seeing "Landkreuzer P-1000 Ratte", even toh it didn't get produced...
Just some "Ratte" info.

I don't have them in higher resolution. I'm not making this totally from scratch; I'm photoshoping real newspapers of the era's they're from, adding in stuff, editing, touching up, etc. So while you may see "JFK A-OK After Dallas", if you read such a thing in all the little words, the illusion would die right away because you'd see "JFK pronounced dead at *blah**blah**blah*...". There are, however, some hidden little things in some of the legible words (like a sentence on the Reagan paper under the Reagan picture being edited from him recovering at a hospital to the funeral being planned on Friday). However, the Reagan one was one I really tried/had to work on. Basically, it was just an absolute black/white xerox and I had to do up the paper texture and overlay the image on it and so forth.

Though the key point of this is not "OMG, Secret Weapons", there were some technological advancements that did come by the time the US would have invaded or may have very well come that need to be taken into account. Hence, its more for realism that any secret weapons orgy. Though Jets and advanced stuff in WW2, and that stuff being perfectly realistic is a big selling feature.

Rather than further kissing my artistic butt, you call someone on noobiness. *tsk**tsk*


Anyway, I remember something about the Japanese working on an atomic bomb of their own or something like that which I think they may have even had successful tests with. Perhaps there could be a map involving that in some form such as taking out their nuclear facility with a US task force.

Sorry, thought your ego had received enough attention. Should have known better about you artistic types. :P

Ego stroking is the only payment artistic types get. Now kiss my butt (besides, my ego hasn't come into play to get attention until now).

And here is another one.
