Ugh.

One of the things that makes Deadlands work is that the supernatural stuff
is tied closely to the setting.  Hangin' Judges, Tumblebleeds, Prairie
Ticks, etc.  You take western stuff and give it an evil twist.

The same should be true of Weird Wars.  For example, one great idea (if I
do say so myself) would be making the "Winter Fritz" of Russian propaganda
into a monster for the Eastern Front setting.

(For those of you unfamiliar with Winter Fritz, he was featured on a
Russian propaganda poster: an SS officer frozen solid, with icicles hanging
from his face/arms/whatever).
