    The Quarter-BAM project

    Well they are indeed exaggerated, some lakes in places such as Mexico or Argentina have more pixels than their Q-BAM equivalents, while lakes that do not have water pixels such as the French Guyana reservoir have not one but two. I don't get this weird fixation of lakes needing to have at least...
  2. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    The latest chapter needs to be relabeled as chapter 2024.
  3. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I am also in favour of a Free Baghdad, but I can't see it happening. 1) It creates a politically independent centre in Mesopotamia. The Romans don't want that because they want to keep their share, and for the same reasons the Persians don't want it. 2) It would undermine trust between both...
  4. 1933 RLM heavy fighter split into a long range fighter and an AT CAS plane

    Thats quite underwhelming. 2 cm is possible but a very short range and fortunate angle as an anti tank gun. In addition to the gun there is the requirement to operate around enemy AA guns. Neither bf110 nor ju88 fit that role perfectly.

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I would like to see Baghdad as a hold for the Romans, close to the front line. A neutral zone with i.e. an independent state beholden for its survival on both sides, with Basra a open city for trade for all.

    AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Charlemagne and Irene marrying would never have happened nor would it have resulted in a united empire.
  7. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    IMO the best option for Germany was to put a lot more resources in mining Britain's shipping lanes. No Battle of Britain, or supporting Italy in North Africa and Greece, or invading Yugoslavia. Those are just sideshow to spend resources for little gain. Just convert every available and future...

    How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    If German oil supply ran out in 1943 how were they able to continue the war until 1945?
  9. AHC: Prime Minister Shirley Williams

    hmm drift hey. In many ways the supposed decline is really over-stated, and Thatcher's supposed remedies mass privitatisation, de-industrialisation , and over reliance on services pretty disastrous. About the only unqualified successes ironically were in the environmental field. much...
  10. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I don't think that's plausible, especially since you're arguing that Roosevelt lied to everyone he encountered, in public and in private, about his extreme moral dislike for Nazi Germany's evil acts. Does that make him a massive hypocrite for not examining the evil acts of the United States...
  11. The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    It'll tickle yer innards!* Distilling is one part of the food and drink industry that definitely has more heavy-handed management by the Industrial Unions and that is in part because it really is an industry that benefits hugely from scale and in part because it is hugely lucrative. It's also...

    AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Agree on England, but going to have to quibble on Henry III having a stable succession, since when his reign began England was currently being invaded by Prince Louis with a French army in league with English nobles angry at John. The one stable dynasty that I can think of for the medieval...
  13. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    A baseball bat, especially an aluminum one, is an exceptionally nice bit of kit. Even as I type their is a really nice Little League one (its about a foot shorter than a full sized bat, makes it quite handy), beside the front door. Purely there in case I get attacked by a honey badger when I go...
  14. PDWs as spin-offs from the 'Artillery Luger' in widespread use in 1915-1945

    On the western front, maybe so. On the eastern front, mesopotamia, and africa, probably not. And with a pre-WW1 departure making them the norm for WW1, definitely not. The concept of PDW really is an outshoot of widespread mechanization, I think.

    How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    The Japanese were in internment camps, not concentration camps, just like the American, British and Dutch were interned in Japanese occupied Asia. Many Allied nations interned Germans. Internment camps are a different entity from concentration camps.
  16. AHQ: Is a Soviet occupation of all of Germany in WW2 possible?

    The invasion was limited to a couple days every month due to the tides and the phase of the moon, If the WAllies hadn't gone in June 5/7 they would have had to wait until July Bad Weather had scrubbed the three day window in May. Had the same conditions existed as in May, the landings would have...
  17. How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    https://news.ucsc.edu/2017/11/ancient-horse.html Might this newly discovered horse — newly discovered as of 2017 — provide a branch point?
  18. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    I would say it took the dynasty dying out with no clear successor and foreign invasions (plural) happening at the same time for things to be as bad as they were. But mostly that the Byzantine period wasn't a constantly Crisis of the Third Century situation - there were periods between...
