  1. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    Sure, I can Kick folks retail (see the following post), followed by Banning them for repeated offenses.
  2. Return of the Behemoths

    The problem with airships is that, no matter how well made they may be, they are fragile as hell. The USN lost both the Akron and Macon in fairly routine storms. Airships are also extremely limited in maximum ceiling (around 13K for Hydrogen, 10K for Helium), meaning they can not climb over even...
  3. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    I have to let everyone in this thread know that it is justthisclose to getting locked because it is continually veering into current politics. This is the final warning on this. I either start kicking folks as reported, which I don't really want to do, or simply shut down the thread and kill...
  4. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    It was, as seems to be a habit here, clearly related to current politics.
  5. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    This sort of thing belongs in Chat. DO NOT drag politics into ANY thread outside of Chat.
  6. WI: Different Regions of France push for Home Rule

    Was there any reasonable movement pushing for Home Rule in these areas IOTL? If not that is where the comparison to Irish Home Rule runs into an issue. The Irish had been fighting some level of war against English rule for the better part of a thousand years, with at least six conflicts that...
  7. STEN fighter plane?

    Problem is that, unlike a short range firearm, an aircraft, even a "monkey model" requires lots of effort, at least the engine and avionics. There are a lot of ways to throw some POS into the sky, but getting it to outperform better aircraft isn't something that can be done (if it could, then...
  8. WI: Black Death kills toll is doubled everywhere

    This is ASB. If it was moved there it would be locked as a pointless mass death scenario since there is apparently no POD that can make it possible beyond "because". That being the case, locked.
  9. WI the soviet union goes for a full militia army strategy in WWII?

    No, actually it doesn't. What it means is even more burned villages. It also means the Heer takes Moscow by the end of August 1941 and reaches Baku by May of 1942. IOTL the Soviet partisan movement worked because there was a functional government in Moscow that provided support and a potent...
  10. WI: Black Death kills toll is doubled everywhere

    How does the disease manage to double a death rate that was already extraordinary without divine intervention? Right now I see a lot of hand wave in order to jack up fatalities.
  11. WI the soviet union goes for a full militia army strategy in WWII?

    WAY more casualties (which is pretty horrific if you think about it) and a Reich victory.
  12. Determined to Destroy Us - An Axis Victory Cold War TL

    Possible? Sure. Likely? Not so much. A victorious Reich would result in the Camps remaining more rumor than fact for some time. IOTL the British, when presented with reports that detailed the Camps in Poland, made annotations on the reports that they seemed to be exaggerated. None of those...
  13. Wank the Spanish Flu

    Thread locked. Mass death scenarios for shits & giggles are NOT acceptable here.
  14. WI Hitler had a son?

    Grow the hell up. http://time.com/4233811/hitler-micropenis-nazi-genitals/
  15. Determined to Destroy Us - An Axis Victory Cold War TL

    The sentiments that brought about the Dixiecrats were pretty much a direct result of the War. Millions of men from outside the South rotated through the area with Jim Crow laws. Hundreds of thousands of African Americans rotated through the ETO or New Zealand/Australia, where they were exposed...
  16. Determined to Destroy Us - An Axis Victory Cold War TL

    Why would Thurmond run? Without the War there is no reason for the Dixiecrats to ever appear.
  17. What Good Would the French Fleet Have Done the Germans in 1942?

    The RN did, but those ships were not used to directly support either landing. They maintained a "distant cover" as part of Force H with Warspite making a single quick foray to support British troops before beating feet to get outside of Axis land based air before the sun came up (given the...
  18. What Good Would the French Fleet Have Done the Germans in 1942?

    Honoring the threat is the entire point. Any attempts to destroy the fleet puts the relatively few remaining RN carriers at risk (the U.S., at the time Husky took place, only had ONE fully operational deck in the Sara, Enterprise was still operating under the emergency repairs made after Santa...
