Playing your trump card early in the 'game' is even sillier. Let the Germans invade practically unopposed, then intercept their supply convoys. If they attack the first wave in strenght the best the RN could have done was to disrupt the invasion. Inevitably the RN will lose some assets, be it...

Because it would be strategically a huge mistake to attack the barges, tugs and such in the first place. I'm almost certain the destroyer fleet wouldn't have intercepted the first wave anyhow. The most sensible thing to do as well.

The Republican navy was seriously handicapped by the lack of ranking officers. Let's face it, even the most competent able seaman or bosun isn't neccessarily able to efficiently command a warship. The anti- clerical progroms alienated not just CEDA but also a substantial part of the general...

And yet, has onyone thought about the attached firepower availale to that slow- and possibly, or rather improbably intercepted barge fleet. Consider the unlikely event that all 9 destroyers reach the barge fleet just in time before the landing or shorty therafter. How much firepower would they...

Odd, since Poland invaded Czechoslavakia in 1938.

Aegidius outlives (or outfights) Childeric, and Clovis never becomes king of the Salian Franks. Instead Aegidius son Syagrius, is recognised as legitimate overlord. Given the religious rift between the Frankish leaders and their own population not entirely inplausible. The Armorican Bretons (...

Because Lars himself played Tiresias and did all the 'stunts' ?

Julian, you do realise that by saying' it doesn't matter what they do' you effectively defeat the whole purpose of this thread and board? The whole purpose of an alternative history board is to accept certain a-historical propositions.

Have the reparation payments to France, Britain , Belgium and Italy stop in 1928 or 1929 instead of 1932 under international pressure. The economic climate would have been entirely different then. Less than 3 years ago Germany was still paying back loans for this. Huge probability that there...

Not entirely true. Even without specialized AS weaponry the LW sank or destroyed more than a dozen RN warships in a single month in 1940.

Taking this one step further. What if the Henschel prototypes of the DW 1 of 1937 were accepted for trials and put into (limited) production? Either replacing the Pz IV or complementing it? Since it was meant as a purely offensive weapon it might have attracted some interest and approval of...
