Hmm, humbum, I don't quite agree, Red - I see what you mean, though, but your view might be a bit simplistic (no offence meant btw - please bear in mind that english afterall is my second language, so I might sound overly harsh at times). The politics surrounding the two wars were, and are I...

Well, first of all the German CAS could have operated freely AND the recon planes might give the Germans a far better view of what the Soviets are up to. Basically, the Germans have better control of the battlefield and will be able to interdict the Soviet Reserve Tank Army when it begin to move...

Yeah, I have this idea, that Luftwaffe will help the German Heer and Allies to advance deep into Soviet territory, while heavy bombers keep Soviet factories running at a minimum and long range planes of all sort fly interdiction, thus hampering the Soviets ability to reinforce, reequip and shift...

Hmm, I don't agree, Red! I suppose it depends on what one means by "stronger Denmark", but the fact is that Denmark in 1848 fought the German Confederation such as it were at the time to a standstill by itself, and could have done so again in 1864 - read my remarks about Rolf Krake above. If...

Nice, even though the Frecnh flag do seem a bit out of place still being the one waved about after a battle! ;) Could you do it with the Union Jack and perhaps British troops, Imajin? Talking about requests, I know it's iffy, but I saw soemthing like it done in an HOI-AAR over at...

This is a pretty cool thread! Well done ye artistic people!!! Some of those pictures are just awsome, he said in a very impressed and somewhat fawning tone, sparkled with occasional streaks of envy! :) Regards and all! - B.

Thank you, Karlos! I try to do this ATL a bit different than usual WW2-ATL's, so I'm glad you find it interesting. I have absolutely no idea whether anyone at OKM or in the Wehrmacht as such had any other ideas regarding naval warfare than agressive use of submarines to starve Britain to the...

Speaking of the MoS, I only managed to do it in the late 70's: Finally a Black Duke rocket was launched from Woomera’s secondary launch pad carrying three Commonwealth astronauts, Malcolm Davis, Gerd van der Bruel and Ceepak Basheer Saheb into orbit around the Moon. Davies and Saheb separated...

As Redbeard mentions above, the world would most likely end up being very different from ours. A defeat at Waterloo would for one thing probably do alot of damage to British national pride - it seems to me that the Napoleonic Wars played a major role in shaping the British self-image since then...

I think that a sharp blow to Nikolai II's head would give Russia the best opportunity to become a liberal and open society by the end of the 20th century. If one could tweak Nikolai's personality just a bit, as I once mentioned in another looong (winded) Russia-thread, we could marry him off to...

I don't think we would mind in Denmark, but the Swedes might find it rather offensive, I suppose. Don't know about the Norwegian feelings in thus regard! Best regards and all! - Mr.B.

Good points, Steffen! I always found it ironic beyond belief that Moltke was a Dane. Anyway, you could just have the King refuse his request for foreign service and have him stay in the Danish Army. Considering the utter mess in Danish High Command, such as it were, after the 1848 War and...

You're more than welcome, Tony - it's actually a bit of a luxury to have the author within reach so to say. :) No, of course you're right, no two "historians" ever agree on much in regard to AH - WW2 especially -, and I can't say I necessarily agree with your points, but as I said the book...

Over the Seas Over the Seas Now I’m not pretty and I’m not cool But I’m fat and I’m ugly and proud - so fuck you Standing out is the new pretension Sreamline the (sic)ness, half-assed aggression You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned All the mediocre sacred cows we spawne Put...

I reposted the last post - A Brief Respite - after having edited the part about the Raubvogel, Dönitz and the British preparations for the next round of the BoB! Next installment Over the Seas will follow in minute or two. Having been inspired by your questions, I'd thought that some info on the...

A brief respite - reposted and edited... A brief respite Hey you, see me, pictures crazy All the world I’ve seen before me passing by I’ve got nothing, to gain, to lose All the world I’ve seen before me passing by You don’t care about how I feel I don’t feel it any more - System of a...

I just finished The Foresight War, and found it to be good read. Interesting and generally well-thoughtout. The narrative was pretty good, but the characters just don't quite spring to life. Still, Tony W is fairly good at making the characters motives seem reasonable - Under normal...

Reading Miguel's So very Tired-thread, got me wondering: What if Napoleon was feeling sick or just not up to it and he himself stayed behind in Paris, while Davout went out the meet the Allied Armies at Waterloo? Would that have made a difference? Would Waterloo actually happen if Davout...

Thanks, Tom! And once again, I'm sorry for the long delay. Hope to post more frequently! Generally speaking, I hope to make my attempts at ATL's different as well as fairly plausible and intertaining, so I'm glad you find TDoGatVotL twistingly! :) Thank you, H! Glad to be back, and that...

A brief respite Hey you, see me, pictures crazy All the world I’ve seen before me passing by I’ve got nothing, to gain, to lose All the world I’ve seen before me passing by You don’t care about how I feel I don’t feel it any more - System of a Down, Atwa. Hey, I’m feeling tired My...
