  1. AHC/WI: Britain won world war 1 without becoming heavily indebted

    They tried OTL. They did not have the manpower to do both at the same time.
  2. AHC/WI: Britain won world war 1 without becoming heavily indebted

    This will enrage the Russians who may make an earlier peace on the grounds they agreed years ago that both they and the French would attack at the same time. If the French just sit on the defensive then the Germans can shift the forces needed in the East to obliterate the Russian army and the...
  3. AHC/WI: Britain won world war 1 without becoming heavily indebted

    That still requires fighting on the Western front and the Ottomans are highly unlikely to stay neutral given they believe (100% accurately as it happens) that the French and British want to partition them post war so its Germany or bust and its not in Britain's power to choose any of these...
  4. AHC/WI: Britain won world war 1 without becoming heavily indebted

    Which is nice from a gear head persepctive but the admirality would much rather have won the war. The BEF fought well above its weight and grew to a massive force, without committing to fighting in France and keeping France afloat financially (and it was not just a question of gold here) France...
  5. AHC/WI: Britain won world war 1 without becoming heavily indebted

    In this scenario they would be reacting to Germany owning the Europe. The Japanese and Americans would be a distant worry in the back of the mind compared to a hostile power that was already a peer competitor now being an unrivalled superior in almost every respect.
  6. WI native american british army

    Uhh...what are you talking about? I was saying that the Americans would fight and win conventional battles against the Indians. But as an aside the Americans and French won the revolutionary war conventionally. It certainly wasn't guerrillas that all but destroyed the British military in...
  7. Opinions of Late Roman Army?

    It couldn't have been that good an army if it arrived late. More seriously it was grew but doomed by events beyond its control.
  8. WI native american british army

    That's nice. Who keeps them in working order and supplied and who replaces the officers and men manning them once they die. There is a reason artillery is usually a dedicated arm its not something you can just give someone.
  9. WI native american british army

    Also the Americans would love their enemies gathering large numbers of their fighting men in one place and deploying for a conventional battle that they would probably lose thanks to numbers and artillery and be broken in one big go instead of taking years and years hunting down small fast...
  10. If Jackson Had Survived?

    And the traitors were refusing to accept a President who might possibly have gone against his word and murmured loudly about the fact they kept millions of human beings in slavery.
  11. Inglorious Basterds Not Remade

    Argentina is the whitest country in South America and was the stereotypical refuge of various Nazis. In the book Rico is far more 'Latin' looking and certainly not an Ayran wet dream. There are three non white characters in the unit drawn from around the world in contrast to what I recall from...
  12. Inglorious Basterds Not Remade

    That was a glorious own goal. They wanted to take the piss out of the author's beliefs and war films in general so make a super gory spectacle filled with All (south) american boys and gals slaughtering bugs clearly framed by a fascist government that is obviously at least dark grey and then...
  13. Best anti personnel weapons to deal with large masses of infantry?

    A sign pointing them in the opposite direction.
  14. What if Germany accepted British alliance terms/offers at the turn of the 20th century?

    And the British were Germanphobes who were obsessed with building a fleet that let them threaten to shell Hamburg over a telegram.
