I love the build update in a table. Do you use a Gantt chart at all or any other planning document, when you are planning out your WI adventures? Or is a case of that's a good idea, rumble around the spare parts box, pour yourself a whisky & get cracking.

This is something that I'm going to explore myself in a TL and I'm in the middle of researching it at the moment. As others have said Aung San is the POD that you are looking for and, given his personality I think it is likely he would have done better than the OTL. Which in and of itself is a...

In which case then the A12 Valiant like me is surprisingly fast, despite being aerodynamically challenged ;) .

I'm guessing that she' s no speed racer by the looks of her.

I agree with the comments around pursuing a more defensive campaign in Burma interspersed with large scale raids. One thing that sticks to my mind is that the native Burmans (ethnic group) could be utilised more effectively by the Japanese. Is there any ability to create a partial light...

I was re reading my copy of Defeat into Victory and thought about how could the IJA have performed better during the Burmese campaign. One idea that I considered was to politically rehabilitate Yamashita, as the Campaign is important yet will also be fought on a shoestring at the periphery of...

Do you know if Hermes or Victorious could have launched the F2, or would it have been limited to Ark & Eagle?

@Jim Smitty <cough cough> crossover between An American in Berlin and The Gateway to the Stars with Leo 2's rampaging through the gate. No pressure mate ;) :p .

Agreed, it's about providing that extra level of mobile firepower that was lacking or, helping teams to safely conduct a hot extraction. IIRC there was a Soviet SG - 1 fanfiction that had T - 62s charging through the gate, no doubt playing Farewell to Slavianka through the loudspeakers. The BMD...

Yeah I had thought the Weisel would be a go, but the British Scorpion. Lovely jubbly.

I've found myself watching some SG - 1 re runs in the wee hours of the morning, which is a benefit of having multiple small children in the house that have been feeling sick x'D:cool:. Donning my anorak the Stargate has a diameter of 6.7 m (22 feet) and I'm going to work under the assumption...

Yeah in one of my TL's I have Hermes entering RAN service as a commando carrier in the mid 80's. Do you think she would have kept her name in Australian service?

I'm particularly interested in any story that enables HMS Hermes to continue operating in a catobar role.

It's almost like that professionals tends to base their purchasing decisions, for the most part, on logistics and the existing capabilities of their infrastructure to handle new platforms and then to sustain it. There is still the ability to sway a decision by changing the criteria utilised to...

A couple of good looking line drawings up here.

I still have them using the Challenger in the MBT role, but thinking about an IFV, SPAAG & other MBTs are always fun.

This is part of my worldbuilding for my 12MtM timeline story. Within my TL Imperial Iran is still in existence and has followed a more balanced arms build up compared to the OTL. My question is with the Soviets on their northern borders, a hostile Baathist Iraq on their western border and, a...

Aircrew has always been a hazardous occupation and that's the chances with a two way firing range. The other option could be Gore chooses a safer option and then inadvertently finds himself in danger, say serves with the Coast Guard or Navy and ends up jumping on Vietnamese sampans towards the...

His father was always going to pull strings for his son, as would most parents if given the opportunity. The overarching theme that I picked up from reading about the younger Al Gore was that he wanted to serve like the 'average' young man from Tennessee, which in this case meant the Army as...

Following completing his studies at Harvard, Al Gore decided to enlist in the Army and served with the 20th Engineer Brigade at Bien Hoa as a military journalist. My question is that if Al Gore still decided to enlist (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force), what other options would be available to...
