Thank you!

The Kaisermanöver in summer 1900 is a watershed moment for European and Global history. Not so much for the exercises themselves, but rather for what happened in the immediate aftermath. The incident that Kaiser Wilhelm II described as 'the day that blasted animal decided to attempt a coup' saw...

Ima gonna steal that idea.

Somewhere, a Blackburn Buccaneer is spooling up it's engines. followed by USS Missouri.

A young, pre-Stargate Kurt Russell? I can see this working far better than Cage ever would have.

Somewhat, but not really, possibly? TBF, my knowledge of that time period is more local.

^That pretty much depends on the circumstances. I'm not too familiar with the state of Saxony of that time period, but I can see both happening. The 1st option slightly more so, as there you don't get artificial partitions of existing realms.

Minor complaint, and this is a trope in maps on here: There is no way on gods green earth that Protestant Württemberg and arch-Catholic Bavaria would willingly form any sort of union outside of Germany as a whole.

I was referring to being dangerous to the enemy. :)

Ah yes, the most dangerous weapon yet devised. A radio paired with a good set of binoculars. :)

Well, for them, it'll be either Hitler denying them permission to storm the place, Göring fucking up air support or half the Home Fleet off shore. The clean Wehrmacht myth would still be something he'd forward.

Have him be captured, OP. Wouldn't want to deprive our ATL counterparts from reading his war-crime denying, self-serving memoirs. :D

The Nicaraguan part is fine as is, but I could see Cuban hardliners becoming an issue in the early 90s that leads to a strange alliance between reformists and the US?

I know they did, because that was when the Captain of the Reuben James had a stomach ulcer or something pop that beached him and was replaced by Morris. IIRC Cuba ended up staying neutral, but the exact wordage escapes me.

Didn't book Cuba have a gentlemen's Agreement with the US that allowed US ships to transit south of Cuba without being attacked as long as they went at night so that the Cubans could truthfully claim that they hadn't seen anything?

I once saw video of John Williams quiet down an entire concert hall of people with a "sush" gesture. Within seconds and down to pin-drop levels of noise.

No. It's that no tank is invulnerable to it's contemporaries. Assuming roughly equal tech levels, and that both crews are equally competent, the side with the better targeting system usually shoots first, and I'm told that nine out of ten tank engagements are fought out of ambush.

Whatever has the longer-ranged gun and the best targeting system. On flat plains, he who shoots and hits first, wins.

Good lord, that drivel is still around? Back in the day, I even wrote a few pieces for that forum, but I noped out when it became clear that the author wasn't interested in anything but wanking the axis harder than a middleschooler living next door to a porn shoot.
