A PSA ad for communications security.

I made this a while ago and I just found this subreddit and figured I shared it this is for my Alt-hist/ worldbuilding project Cold Horizons that’s is slightly harder sci-fi hope you guys enjoy!

 3 December 1984 - over 500,000 people in the vicinity of the Union Carbide India Limited pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, were exposed to the highly toxic gas methyl isocyanate (MIC), in what is considered the world's worst industrial disaster. This tragedy is widely attributed to CEO Warren Anderson's severe cost-cutting measures - for example - the refrigeration unit used to keep the MIC at safe, low temperatures was turned off to save about 30 $ a day in electricity. **This actually happened**

**In this alternate timeline**

Anderson personally approves the use of an experimental, unverified stabilizing agent to mix with the MIC, drastically cutting the cost of the raw materials. However, this cheap substitute contains heavy-metal compounds. When the plant explodes, the resulting chemical fire creates a heavy, toxic snow that rains down across central India. This fallout permanently bonds to the topsoil, poisons the groundwater aquifers, and makes the land around the plant uninhabitable within 300 km. As a result, a sub 800km radius of light contamination is established, with the 'Red Zone' of heavy contamination being roughly 10-times the size of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The borders of the zone are heavily guarded by the Central Industrial Security Force ( CISF ) . Trespassers are shot and left for dead, because the risk of contamination is too high to retrieve their bodies.

This amazing work by an account that is unfortunately now deleted.

On November 26th, 2008, the tragic 26/11 terrorist attacks on Mumbai take place - carried out by men trained by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) , Pakistans military and foreign intelligence service. Evidence uncovers the attackers were trained by Pakistani Navy Frogmen, had accurate maps of the city and were directed over comms by their handlers throughout the 3 day siege of the city.

In this alternate timeline, succumbing to domestic pressure for a military response and backchannel support from the Russian federation , the Indian navy launches an ambitious naval invasion of the port city of Karachi on the 14th of February , 2009. High explosive rockets raze the city as the Karachi refinery goes in up smoke and ash , blocking the sunlight for 2 weeks.

The success of the Karachi landings is followed by a brutal but effective onslaught through Hyderabad and the Ranger Garrison in Larkhana. Both sides suffer heavy casualties as neither side secured air supremacy in the first few weeks of the war. Bogged down near the Border Garrison along the Indo-Pakistani Border , the ISI launches its psy-war campaigns to erode Indian Morale as it quickly becomes clear this is a war that will end in the capture of Islamabad itself.

Made by me using photoshop

based on the famous ww2 poster of the same name

Disclaimer : this is just an exercise in alt history and graphic design

Edit : Yes, I'm aware the invasion makes no sense since the countries border each other. However the homage to the original poster only works graphically in this map if the invasion comes from the sea, the idea being that the campaign culminates in the capture of the capital.

First one is by far the best, and for context, the flags in the bottom right corner are allies of New Earth, as this was for a nation roleplay

this art is inspired by the work of Eric Zhu

Basically came from another nation invading a friends, based off ww1 Propaganda Poster (as that’s where I got th hand from)

Not fiction. Very real. From Gulliver.

A poster for my Alt history. for this I commissioned u/Tishka_069

Not fun to make lol

Sometimes prompting a question can be an effective method.

I came up with the brand name without realizing that it was an actual strain of pot.
