No, I haven't caught the Steampunk "brain fever". I simply figured, "Why have only one major unfinished mod in the works when you can have two?"
Premise (historical): British and French troops face off at Fashoda near the headwaters of the Nile. Ahistorical: they shoot at each other, triggering the first global war. As this is meant to be fun as opposed to a "counter-factual" exercise, the CSA will have won the Civil War, France's Maximillian's son will be ruling Mexico, and Wyrm's great Harry Turtledove units will come into play.
Alliance 1: Great Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, CSA, Japan, Portugal
Alliance 2: France, Russia, Serbia, USA, Spain
The rest TBD.
Technological premise: the British were already employing steam tractors during the Boer War. Whenever war breaks out, one tries to improve upon the most reliable/robust - in this case, the steam engine, with some metallurgical magic to keep the boilers from exploding.
Irrespective - ENJOY!
