I mean timelines focused on the cape colony. Decades of Darkness is magnificent though.

Can anyone suggest a really good Draka timeline remake? I know its in here somewhere. I found the one by Straha but it mysteriously ends in 1938.

I guess that's the tragedy of his character. He didn't know when to quit.

King Charles XII aka Karl XII aka Carolus Rex aka Sweden's Chuck Norris was a pretty interesting fella. Where did he go wrong? Obviously invading Russia wasn't his best idea but did he have another option? Could he have just sat in the Baltics, sucker punching Russian armies until Tsar Peter...

I know the topic has been done to death and most agree that Hitler was never really going to win. But which is the best Nazi victory timeline you've read?

As i undertsand it the IG specialised in finishing fights decisively which is exactly what napoleon was after against russia. Easy to imagine him using them on the flank and not the centre as it was his style. Assuking Alex agrees to peace and returns to blockading england, wouldnit change...

1812 Napoleon, in a rare moment of simplicity, decided to take on the russian centre at the battle of baradino rather than his usual tactic of speed, shock and flanking attacks. Realising this was turning the battle into a bloody slogging match he sent in the Imperial Guard, the french...

I thought Hitler could have made it into the 50's before someone decided to shoot the stupid prick. The ego and the meth would make him a liability eventually. Maybe after he died they would move the project to Munich or Nuremberg though i don;t know if they're any more structurally sound.

I love the idea of it being fascist victory arch being a facade. I guess with enough materials you could just shore up the entire swamp right down to the bedrock and create a stable founding that way. Pumps are a good idea too but they're both horrifically expensive.

If Berlin was too squishy and swampy to support Hitler's victory arch, volkeshall and all the other cartoonishly oversized buildings he was planning, where else would he put it? This is assuming he won the war and could choose anywhere from Belgium to the Urals. Alternatively, can something...

So according to Naomi Klein, Gorbachev sought to move the USSR in a similar direction to the Nordic model, combining free markets with a social safety net—but while retaining public ownership of key sectors - ingredients that he believed would transform the USSR into "a socialist beacon for all...

Have the QF 1 pounder 'pom pom' still in use by a major power in 2014...I mean the 37mm autocannon designed in 1890. What pom pom were you thinking of?

Great chat guys. Any other criticisms besides the length of the 30 years war?

"First came the Greycoats to eat all my swine, Next came the Bluecoats to make my sons fight, Next came the Greencoats to make my wife whore, Next came the Browncoats to burn down my home. I have naught but my life, now come the Blackcoats to rob me of that." —Anonymous Poem from the Thirty...

Crossing of the Somme, August 5th 1636, Spanish cavalry arrive on time to slaughter the retreating french, killing 600. The Spanish and Holy Roman Imperial troops have lost just 35 men dead and 50 wounded. The joint Spanish-Imperial Army then marches on to besiege Corbie which falls to them...

So I've been reading about Goff Whitlam and his response to the Christmas bombings/ Operation Linebacker in December 1972. Here's an article http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/whitlam-v-nixon/story-e6frg6z6-1226439818865 Looks like things got a bit tense there, with Nixon and...

Make the 1960's cultural revolution never happen with a POD prior to 1947. What are you on about Chris? Well, the fallout games which i adore are set in a world where the counter culture never emerged. On the wiki it says the POD had to happen somewhere between 1945 and 1961 but the computer...

If we are to assume russia had a use it or lose it doctrine they would take out europe as a precaution. If the US was attacking the russians would have to assume that NATO either was or would soon be involved. As soon as the the russians launched the brits and french would retaliate in the 10-15...

Cheers, I'm looking into it at the moment :) Just wanted other people's opinions as well.

Probably gone as well. Ukraine and Belarus would disappear on account of the old soviet nukes they would still have in 1995. And Yes! I'm in the process of writing something on this. Just trying to get ideas for a plausible scenario.
