A setback · 4:14pm Feb 10th, 2019
So....after the disastrous launch of Fluttershy's story and actually went into damage control (It happens.). I managed to get back on track last month. When I asked the Writer's Group of why did it failed, one caught me, I realise that I stuck too much to history that the setting is not unique. I have been drawing concepts since then.
I wish I could have posted this longer but I got sick from flu.
By the way, the reason why I do WW2 first, before WW1, is because I am more comfortable with the subject itself and I actually planned way back that the Mane 6 would be given more diverse roles, rather than just soldiers in WW1 story. I also think that WW1 in itself can be more depressing and hellish than WW2, personally. So the WW2 story being more lighthearted and having the Mane 6 and Sunset as soldiers would feel like.......a downgrade.
Also, here are the spoiler-free roadmap that I drew all the way back in 2018. This will only show the early and mid part of their stories so....no ruined surprise here.
Sunset
Possibly Invasion of Poland or France -> Operation Barbarossa -> Operation Citadel/Battle of Kursk
Fluttershy
Stalingrad -> Operation Citadel/Battle of Kursk
Pinkie Pie
Push to El Alamein -> Second Battle of El Alamein -> Tunisian Campaign
Rainbow Dash
Wake Island -> Guadalcanal
Rarity
Second Battle of El Alamein -> Tunisian Campaign -> Invasion of Italy
Applejack
Guadalcanal -> Bougainville
