Germany on Mars in 1889, in The Dream Forge

Anders Blixt in Stockholm Sweden writes a thoughtful and entertaining blog entitled The Dream Forge, covering a wide range of fantasy and science fiction topics, with a heavy emphasis on steampunk/dieselpunk, and frequent articles covering Space 1889 world building. The other day he did a very nice piece on the German colonial venture on Mars. The illustration shows German colonial artillery supporting Schutztruppen in a skirmish with Hill Martians in Western Dioscuria. Here's the link. Check it out.

    I might also direct everyone to a great Osprey title that came out this year:
    Men-at-Arms 490, Imperial German Colonial and Overseas Troops
    It's available at ospreypublishing.com.

    I'd also like to take [minor] issue with Anders' article insofar as Imperial German relations with it's colonial natives. Germany was, in the end, a colonial power with a colonial mindset. If the natives cooperated, then they would receive the benefits Germany had to offer [which in some cases was damned little]. But if the native resisted, they were conquered mercilessly. Take a look at Wikipedia's articles on the Herero and Namaqua Genocides and the Maji-Maji Rebellion to see what I'm talking about. I should say, however, that EVERY colonial power [including the US] has similar atrocities on it's record; this wasn't just a German phenomenon.
    Lastly, if you'd like a great portrayal of Imperial Germans for your game, let me direct you to two fairly-awful-to-slightly-above-average movies set in Germany's colonies.
    The first is 'Shout At The Devil' [1976] starring Lee Marvin as a drunken captain trying to sink a German cruiser on the East African coast and Roger Moore as his somewhat hapless cohort.
    The second is 'Nate and Hayes' [1983] which stars an incredibly young Tommy Lee Jones and is a swashbuckling tale of slavers and anti-colonialists set in the Pacific ca. 1870 or so.
    Anyway, that's my 2 pfennigs worth. Happy gaming everyone

      I don't know if either of those movies could be called an accurate portrayal of Imperial Germany's colonial forces. In Nate and Hayes/Savage Islands, the German representative was cast in the role of villainous heavy, and Shout at the Devil concerned a German cruiser, which was part of the Imperial Navy.

      And as pointed out, yes, Germany did have its share of massacres to call its own, but overall used a much lighter, and more enlightened and cooperative hand in its colonies than the other empires. If, for no other reason, than they didn't have the resources to have a stronger presence.

    Dear Mr Chadwick. Since you seem to be interested in what other people write about Space 1889 you might want to have a look TvTropes page about it. I have written most of the text and tried to capture what the game is in terms of tropes.

    Here is the address:

    In terms of "high quality" movies (those with at least a 7.5 rating on IMDb), Prime Video is virtually tied with Netflix. And both Netflix and Hulu have more high quality shows (those with an 8 rating or higher) than Prime Video. ... But without ads, it's still less expensive than Netflix's most popular plan.

    While seeing generally, if you are looking for more content and entertainment, you can go for Hotstar. If you are always exploring something new to watch, you can go for Netflix. If you want to have the common ground between this two, you can opt for amazon prime.

    Check if your Prime Video account is as yet associated with your gadget. For this visit Primevideo.com/mytv and check if your gadget is recorded in the associated gadgets or not. In the event that your gadget is recorded there then visit your gadget and check if your Prime Video account is signed in or not. In the event that your gadget is logged out from your Prime Video account, at that point continue with the enactment interaction once more.
