  1. The March of Time - 20th Century History

    Stay tuned. Nah, stating something so obvious is not harsh at all. As it is, I have a backlog of researched material that I'll compile into updates whenever there is time to do so. Summer months are thus more active than winters, on average.
  2. The March of Time - 20th Century History

    He and his fellow republicans at Xiamen are smuggling in weapons from Japanese Taiwan, trying to figure out their next steps in a brand new post-Qing China.
  3. The March of Time - 20th Century History

    This is merely the beginning of a long journey, so worry not. This is what he wanted to do historically. Only a random incident where he heard a British officer mock a local Indian officer for his European-styled haircut in the street made him repeal his decision after he had already been...
  4. The March of Time - 20th Century History
    Threadmarks: Chapter 323: "The ink of the scholar's pen is holier than the blood of a martyr."

    The boy would follow his brother Abdul Jabar to Peshawar. It was a defiant decision, but one made by a man who had won the respect and support of his peers a long time ago. The villagers knew their khan was both a devout Muslim and someone who followed his own moral compass. Behram Khan had...
  5. Consequences of Leningrad falling in 1941-42?

    The Soviet forces from the 32nd Army and the forces of the Medvezhyegorsk and Maselgskaja Operational Directions were the following: 263rd Division, 66th Separate Infantry Brigade, 61st Separate Infantry Brigade, 367th Division, 289th Division, 65th Separate Marine Brigade and 186th Division...
  6. Consequences of Leningrad falling in 1941-42?

    They had the manpower available at this time, that is certainly true. Real life is not a Paradox game, though, and transfering forces to the far north from Central Asia would take time. If they were available to begin with, that is. The Soviets were fully expecting a Finnish offensive in OTL...
  7. Consequences of Leningrad falling in 1941-42?

    tl;dr The Soviets did not have troops and supplies by the trainloads at the time when the Finns historically contemplated, prepared for, and then called off the offensive against Sorokka. The RKKA forces holding the Sorokka (Belomorsk) front were tired and understrength after the summer months...
  8. Consequences of Leningrad falling in 1941-42?

    Finns would be hard-pressed to refuse future German demands to attack Sorokka. Cutting the northern line of Murmansk Railway here is not impossible, but holding it against Soviet counterattacks would be a harder feat. Murmansk itself will hold regardless, since defending wilderness with only a...
  9. What if Ernest Bevin's heart attack in late July 1946 had been fatal?

    This is rather interesting what-if in itself. Now, Britain is obviously exhausted and broke. What were the stances of Cripps and Morrison towards the Soviets and the Palestinian question at that time?
  10. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    I noticed the same and laid a claim for future use back in in 2013:
  11. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    A Russian-backed Zhang Zuolin is certainly an interesting prospect.
  12. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    It doesn't take much to substantially improve the capabilities of La Royale. The main difference between TTL and OTL is that historically traditional battleships were deemed as mastodons and symbols of the old regime by the fiercely republican torpedo boat proponents of the OTL Third Republic...
  13. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    And thus the political problems of Ireland will once again distract the UK when most of the rest of Europe is about to go to war against itself. If so, an entire generation of British would-be-conscripts might be spared, and that will have major implications further down the road - namely a...
