  1. WI: Gabrielle d'Estrées does not die in 1599?

    Please don't bump without adding content.
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There isn't a "main lobby". In order to lobby for or against something, there has to be a proposed action. No politician in any of the A4 countries would ever bring the subject up. Might as well propose a "Kick a Puppy Day".
  3. Does having a First World War mean we always would have a Second?

    Not the War, the ending. The Entente made an enormous error (although this wasn't really obvious at the time) in failing to do one of two things: 1. Drive the Heer back clear to the Oder, flat kick Germany's ass once things shifted. Then impose a peace treaty that ensured a stable democratic...
  4. Consequences of the British focusing on winning the Battle of the Atlantic first?

    Can't see why or how. The number of amphibious assets won't be any more ready. The number of troops won't be any more ready. Most critically the WAllies won't have air supremacy. If anything it will take longer to establish air supremacy because there will have been less winnowing of the Luftwaffe.
  5. Am I the only one offended by S.M. Stirlings Emberverse series?

    Active duty forces would follow their command. Despite what a lot of folks seem to think, folks in the military tend to be MORE dedicated to the democratic process and civilian oversight/control of the military (that goes all the way back to Washington). Would there be a ton of martial law...
  6. A new naval arms race.

    Never going to happen. Both the UK and U.S. saw parity with Japan as actual inferiority. Both countries had to have fleets in two or more oceans plus a presence in the Med. Even going with 5:5:3 was further than either country wanted (the ideal ratio was seen as 2:2:1 in London and DC. Two...
  7. A new naval arms race.

    The difference with the Japanese wasn't in how they were treated as much as how the Imperial government perceived the treatment. The Empire saw the treatment as an insult to all Japanese (and, to be clear, I agree with their point, policies in a number of U.S. states were shite) and they...

  9. Am I the only one offended by S.M. Stirlings Emberverse series?

    This reminds me of one of the things I always found questionable in the series. Firearms don't work. Okay. Motor vehicles don't work. Sucks, but okay. Riot equipment DOES still work. Trained personnel with batons and shields are still a force to be reckoned with. Major city police departments...
  10. A new naval arms race.

    Because the UK banks already owned a lot of the paper and also paid off the rest of the Peruvian government's bonds. They managed to prevent Peru from becoming a potential Monroe Doctrine problem AND ensured that U.S. troops did not need to be deployed to enforce payment under the Roosevelt...

  12. Revolution! Or, A Victorian Cold War

    Erie is a city in PA and is famous because of the Erie Canal The Republic of Ireland is Eire.
  13. A new naval arms race.

    In 1920 Peru was more or less run out of a office in London. The disaster of the Pacific War had destroyed Peru's economy (among other things) and in 1890 a consortium of bankers and businessmen were brought together by the British Government. This came to be known as the Peruvian Corporation...
  14. Revolution! Or, A Victorian Cold War

    Where is the canal?
  15. What if: Stalin sends a Soviet Expeditionary Force to Italy in 1943

    Red Army forces at Kursk, including both Operation Citadel (Red Army forces deployed 1,910,361 with KIA/MIA 70,240 i.e. unrecoverable losses, 104.714 WIA and the Soviet counter-offensives Operations Kutuzov with 1,286,000 troops deployed (112,529 KIA/MIA i.e. unrecoverable losses, 317,361 WIA)...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Italians were allowed an independent voice, they could even say no once in a while. No one else ever said no. It is unlikely that the Vatican would have survived if the Italian government didn't take a stand on the issue. The Party wanted to be the "religion" of Europe.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The size of the forces varied. The National Forces were separate from the expected contribution each Western European country had to provide as fortress troops. France had a fairly large force, the Danes very small. French National Forces were probably the most motivated to show that they were...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There are diplomatic ties and some trade. There are things that the Junta can't find inside their borders. The Chinese even have a very limited trade with Europe. The most refuse to acknowledge that the "English" i.e. A4, have anything they want or need. As a result they obtain A4 products via...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Not many. There is a reluctance to reach out to the world and more than necessary.
