@ Semmi: your SS-Air Cavalry lokks just awesome! Is there a story or timelime behind those SS soldiers jumping out of their helicopters in Angola? And where can I read more about it?

@AlbinoPolarBear The text on the flag would be "Für das Volk" (maybe " Für das Volke") but not "Für dem Volk".

For a while I'm planning to write a TL where Maximillian of Habsburg (OTL Emperor of Mexico) becomes Emperor of a united German Empire. Therefore following points must be fullfilled: The liberal Revolution of 1848 succeeds (+/- 5 years) - uniting all German states into the German Empire -...

There's no difference between the Type 2 Winglets in top and bottom row. If you mean the air intakes, top row in the nose and bottom row in the wing roots, these aren't interchangeable without major modifications to the designs 2-6. If you mean all the above graphics, then yes. But I've got no...

I'm designing an experimental jetfighter for a "Crimson Skies" like setting. I'm aiming for an unconventional design that strikes terror into its enemies hearts, with decent flying capabilities as to make a "Red Baron" like character/antagonist even more outstanding. So far I have played around...

:eek::cool: That is one very cool coat of arms. *thumbs up* May I ask how do you made it? And with which program?

A cooperative aproach would't work (imho). Most german realms were rivalling with each other and the Hanse was in rapid decline. Besides the catholic option the count could have asked the Nassauers (rulers of Hessen-Nassau and strong connections to the Netherlands) for support. How about one of...

Rice and Indigo are a great combination if I understand the wikipedia article correctly. You can plant both (parallel or consecutively?) but only need the amount of workers (mostly slaves) for one. Tobacco and Cotton might be out of the window but I'm pretty sure that Sugar Cane is one of the...

In the Peace of Breda, which concluded the second anglo-dutch war, the netherlands gave up their New Amsterdam (New York) Colony and therefore the english accepted the dutch claims on the guyanas. The French are a wholly different issue, which will make the upstart of the colony much more...

I was reading about Hanauisch-India the other day and now I'm playing with the idea of writing a (short) narrative about an alternate developement. Sadly all information I found on the net is a rather short, german wikipedia entry (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanauisch-Indien). It says that...

Shurik: I'm looking for some ships for the platinean navy between the american civil war and the first world war (1860-1918), with Monitors and all sorts of Ironclads. Especially focusing on the years 1890-1910 with their pre-dreadnought cruisers. Here I present to you the work in progress...

Nice map, and basically well done. But I would recommend to brighten it up a bit, it seems too dark around the edges. Especially on the left it's quite dark. While it makes sense to give the Sudetenland to Austria for ethnic reasons it seems to be very unlikely for geographical reasons...

Thank you, thought no one noticed them. So any thoughts on improvement? Nice concepts, all of them are quite interesting. Is there any possibility you could make some Dreadnoughts (or pre dradnought ships) for the platinean navy?

Thank you very much Niko! I just have no time at the moment to do further research into this topic. But in a month things will look better. Linao seems interesting, too. Perhaps I mix it with Chueca would make an even more physical sport. We'll see. Well it's not a real TL yet but an AAR you...

The remarkably successful Model '62 saw steady improvement over the next decades the peak of this improvements was the Model '81 which was also known as the 'Ross Rife' after the lead designer E.N. Ross of Brannigan Armor Works. The Model '81 came with a wholly new lever action mechanism and...

Exactly! It's an homage to the "25 star General"/Captain´/Rear Brigadier/"General Major Webelo"/Commodore 64.

In 1860 the irish born gunsmith Zachary Brannigan founded the 'Brannigan Armor Works' in Buenos Aires. The company's first really successful model was the Brannigan Model '62, which entered the market in 1862 and became so popular during the next decade that it was only referred to as the...

Gonzaga: I think I have too many cultural biases against Peteca. In Germany little kids play this, no offense. Hresvelgr: My intention was to get some information if the Incas had something similar. Both Maya and Aztecs are very far away from Platinea (Argentina). And the PoD is around 1806...

Just some 'wild' ideas. I simply posted everything that didn't sound monarchical. First Minister (Prime) Chancellor Chief Executive Officer (First) Chairman

Thanks for the input so far. As I understand it no one really knows how the Aztecs/Mayans have played their ballgames (which would be essential in turning it into a modern sport). Furthermore I need something from southern America and not Mezo-America. The Mapuch sport of Chueca is close...
