It is not a good idea to associate the NPO with Nazi Germany.

Regardless, Nazism stirs up very strong feelings that Stalinism or Maoism don't. Not as a rule anyway. None of us are comfortable with Swastikas and Hitler, National Socialism inspired the death camps it was very clearly written in Mein Kampf. Communism never advocated wiping out the dissenting population, made no ubermensch. Marx and Engels while interesting weren't murderous madmen when they came up with the Communist Manifesto.
I realize we are regarded as dark overlords by much of the outside and whether the uniforms are cool or not its not imagery we want to associate ourselves with. Most of what you see in the Propaganda thread is what the outside has assigned us. We never said Maoism or Communism is what we are. We adopted many of the symbols from references our detractors made. We've been called Nazis but we never called El Caudillo Fuhrer.
What we were originally was Rome after the fall of the Republic. You can see it in trace references, Praetor is the admin for the board. We have Governors and Centurions. The Axe symbol is Roman, Italian Fascists stole it from them. Perhaps we need to re examine where we are as a region and either steer ourselves back to the Republic or outright embrace Communist Revolution. Nazism isn't something we want to be associated with even casually.
Wonderful work Black Nahn, it looks marvellous- I'm afraid the choice of background was most likely not one you should repeat. All in all very well done.

Aye it did look cool just the idea. As well Stalin didn't follow communism, he was an iron fist socialist. He is what we hate as communist.

I know Stalin ruined communism. I myeself like anarchist communism. I'm not a big fan of sovietism.

I tried to find soldier pictures and Germans looked the best. I tried not to make them look Nazi, but that is the way it all turned out. Just pretend they are normal soldiers. Heh heh.

Well they are "normal" soldiers in a sense. As well for the NPO Soviet soldiers or allied Soldiers or hell, modern Euro-American soldiers work.
