Novel Update: 4 June, 2022

It has been months since the last novel update, and I apologize for being somewhat lax on that front. Unfortunately, not much has changed. The war in Ukraine continues to rage, much to the surprise of practically everyone. Until the conflict draws closer to a conclusion and the dust begins to settle, Red Blitz (still …

The Future Beyond World War III 1987

All good things must come to an end. While I see this blog going on for some time discussing World War III related subject matter, the alternative 1987 we’ve created and nurtured will wrap up at some point around Labor Day when all is said and done. So, what will come next? Good question. In …

Looking Ahead Through June 2022

Summer has finally arrived. The older we become; the faster months and years go by. I’m appreciating this more, and consequently, learning to embrace the reality rather than run from it. I’m not saying that I feel old, mind you. I am just finally becoming wiser. 😊 So here we are on 1 June, 2022. …

D+22 Primer

Here we are, roughly twenty-four hours away from diving back into World War III on D+22. I’ve gone back and forth a bit on how to present the day and its major events because we’re reaching a point where multiple theaters are going to be fused together. But after reviewing the timeline, and outline showing …

The Upcoming Week: 11-17 April, 2022

The 2022 WWIII March Madness tournament is in the books. Harpoon emerged as the champion, taking down Command in a very well-fought contest. The next tournament might be flight simulation games. I’m kicking around some ideas but there’s a lot of time to ponder between now and next December. As for this week, D+22 will …

The Week Ahead 28 March-2 April, 2022

Good evening! It seems the week ahead will be a busy one for the blog. Between WWIII March Madness, D+21 and contemporary events in Ukraine, expect at least five blog entries between now and Friday. Possibly six. Before we dive in, I thought I’d draw up a brief post and summarize what can be expected …

A Glance At The Week Ahead: 13 March, 2022

Happy Selection Sunday! 😊 For those of you who have no clue what Selection Sunday is, or why I’m so amped up about it, no worries. March Madness is not everyone’s cup of tea. But whether you love it or hate it, chances are you’ll be filling out at least one bracket in the coming …

Ukraine-Russia Conflict 2020 Update: Russian Convoy North of Kiev Dispersing

 Interesting developments from Ukraine in the last six hours or so. The 40km+long military convoy that had been stalled north of Kiev for a considerable amount of time appears to be breaking off and moving into assault positions. Recent satellite images reveal the convoy has dispersed and redeployed.  New Russian armor units have arrived around …

The Week Ahead 7-13 March, 2022

Good afternoon!  Hope everyone is doing well on this Monday afternoon. I thought I’d take a moment to discuss plans for the upcoming week’s blog posts. With the war continuing on with no conclusion in sight, I’m going to divide this week’s post between what’s going on in Ukraine, and dipping our toes into the …

Ukraine-Russia Conflict 2022: Observations From The First Week

I thought I’d kick things off with a handful of personal observations about the war in Ukraine. We’re at a point in the war where an accurate, in-depth analysis is just not possible. The media, along with the legions of self-described ‘experts’ on social media platforms are painting incomplete and inaccurate portraits of what’s happening …
