    DBWI: The Great Entente didn't collapse.

    You want to know why Germany thought peace was secure? They forgot about Spain. They made sure every other European power was either in their pocket or a non-issue. But they neglected to do anything about Spain. Spain was easy to forget mind you, having lost the majority of her Empire in the...

    AHC make model railroading more popular.

    Shameless plug for my thread in Non-Political Chat. Feels a bit lonely over there. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/model-train-hobbyists-thread.452827/ I'd have to agree on the price issue. I don't know how much I've spent getting a decent setup I am happy with. Something I'll...

    DBWI/AHC: Explain This Map

    Hmm... that's a tough one. Judging by the center of the empire, I'd say Egypt fared well during the Bronze Age collapse and took advantage of it's neighbors weakness.

    AHC: The Battleship Stays Relevant

    I'd keep both forward turrets, modernizing them as others have said, but replace the aft turret with a VLS system for more missile launching capability. Next, maybe replace the engineering system with a new nuclear powered engine. That would free up it's fuel tanks for refueling escorts or...

    Es Geloybte Aretz - a Germanwank

    And maybe the USA will let Germany use their helium in the future? So there is no possibility of a Hindenburg-like event? I would think that it is possible, since the two will be on friendlier terms.

    Es Geloybte Aretz - a Germanwank

    Greetings Carlton. I was recently directed to this thread by a friend and started an account just so I could read it. It's truly excellent. I'm a pre-Weimar Germanophile and this pushes all the right buttons. I had an interesting thought. I'm a great fan of German marches and I discovered one...
