[WP] An alien ship has picked up a transmission of FDR’s Day of Infamy speech, and has come to help out the United States in her time of need! There’s only one problem… by the time they get here, it’s 1978. Jimmy Carter now must explain to the aliens that World War II has long been over.

[WP] The missile knows where it is by knowing where it isn’t. Thus, when the missile finds a place that is made unplottable by magic, it assumes that that is where it is, and directs itself accordingly. Thus, a bunch of wizard’s homes are getting accidentally bombarded by missiles. Fun.

[WP] It's October 25th, 1944, and a massive battle is being undertaken in the seas off the Philippine island of Samar - until, suddenly, both the US and IJN forces disappear into thin air. Meanwhile, a world away, a massive naval battle has suddenly erupted in the middle of a heavily populated bay.

[WP] In 2025, NASA and the Space Force sent a colonist ship to a nearby habitable planet. In 2030, Earth was united under a dictatorship. In 2065, the space-born United States Galactic Territories and the now-in-power Imperium of Earth met once again - it was awkward.

[WP] Sure, the world may have fallen to a zombie apocalypse, but the trains still must run on time - at least that's the goal here at the Southern Pacific. If you're willing to run over a few zombies and lift some heavy loads, well, we're hiring!

[EU] One fine semi-post-apocalyptic day, a radio channel used as a direct bridge between District 2 leadership and Panem's capitol is hijacked by a man asking a very strange question - "Enclave here. Why isn't your video feed working?"

[EU] Well, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of Molena. Jody fell off his tractor, couldn't believe what he'd seen. When a dude in a robe jumped out of the fallen spacecraft, and introduced himself as 'Anakin Skywalker', he took off towards town, screamin' "He came out of the sky!"

[WP] “So, let me get this straight. Not only are we nowhere near Japan, but we’re not even on Earth anymore? So what was that city we shelled? And that sailing ship we shot up? They.. they.. damn it all to hell, those were civilians! Innocents!” - Cpt. John C. Baldwin, USS Louisiana (BB-67), 1944(?)

[WP] Hit by a truck and dumped into a foreign world, you must find your way home… or stay, finding a new home. The choices you make will define this world for centuries to come. So, who are you? Well, only the Third Army’s own Ol’ Blood n’ Guts: General George S. Patton.
