Well, if the Russians get the Carolines instead of Germany then they also get Truk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuuk_Lagoon Japan made it their main forward naval base after they got it from the Germans, so in theory the Russians COULD

Like how Star Trek kidnapped the terms Cardassian etc, so they have done with Illyrians https://screenrant.com/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-illyrians-explained/

For half an hour I couldn't work out why this post was bothering me, at the back of my mind. Then it hit me - Strange New Worlds!

One quoted academically in naval articles is The Global Seven Years War 1754-1763 Britain and France in a Great Power Contest By Daniel Baugh Over 700 pages, but costs around 40 quid

As the alternative to Rome or in a situation where two rival Popes reign? You might develop a situation where major powers choose their own allegiance, and eventually you have a system of Catholic CHURCHES each with a Pope at the head, similar to how in the Orthodox world each of Greece...

The absence of Ford in the market will lead to completely different dynamics among the other companies, so it's impossible to do more than play out some options. Would General Motors have bought up all the marques they did? Would Durant have been shafted,, started Chevrolet, bought out GM, then...

Yes, it would be very difficult to break away, declare your independence and convince your former masters of your "neutrality". They would still just see you as rebels needing to be subjugated. Only if you can get meaningful support from another power can you assert this independence in any...

One thing to note with scenario g, and possibly h, is that there remained in Britain a belief that Goering was a more manageable figure than Hitler and that any agreement he made would stick, so this faction of British political society, such as Halifax, might well be amenable to ending the...

There is only 2 ways to do this 1) remove the industry to where the bombers cannot get it 2) down the bombers Now, Nazi Germany worked on BOTH of these. IMHO the only real potential for doing it better or faster would be to look at the 1939 ruling from Hitler not to advance technology that...

One book I would recommend for the American West is "1846 - The Year of Decision" by Bernard de Voto

Thanks Issue 9 IS paid for, the cover designer has the money for the design and an abstract for it. I can cover the 3 copies I send to libraries. Issue 10 will be the difficult one, which is why I have placed a 4-month gap between the two. I'll need to raise the finance for the cover designer...

Ha, I fail straight away, I don't know! If anyone does know of an affordable recent work that covers the whole thing I'd like to know too! Corbett is the traditional answer, but that's an old 2-volume history, which most writers on individual aspects of the war have had problems with - i.e. a...

Well, how did it come in Britain? Wasn't the first MAJOR use to pump out lower levels of mines so that they could be worked? You could certainly see that being attractive to the Romans. As for the fuel aspect, we are talking about the Roman EMPIRE, so this doesn't have to be Italy, it can be in...

Rather than me list a giant tranche of books, if anyone wants some good books on either mid-18th century naval warfare or the naval side of the Seven Years War, I can certainly recommend some
