  1. Umayyads manage to take Rome and Constantinople. Could the Umayyads take the title of Roman emperor

    Having both rome is a massive legitimacy boost would make the title real,no partial (ottomans)

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    I wonder how much of that command decision went to US WW1 experience, where the Doughboys had to often depend on shared French artillery support, to go with limited US artillery. The French had to cover their own forces attacks AND support the US too, so the fault was not with the French. That...
  3. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Interesting, would Henri want a Spanish marriage though, given his rather anti Spanish views?

    Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Thus my steam powered Prime Mover. Bonus: divert steam to the cart for heating rhe Bread oven, Stew and Coffee pot, besides just towing the Grobe Feldküche Hf.13 around the rear areas.

    AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    The question of technological superiority isn't just one of gunpowder and productive capacity, its the ability to get armies and settlers to the other side of the Atlantic, and in the late Middle Ages the capacity just isn't there to get as many white people across as in the late...

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    My guess is that George marries Sophie of Wurttemberg and Dagmar marries their second son (or possibly their eldest son as OTL George V was known as Duke of York during Victoria's lifetime so Charlotte could decide that her eldest grandson by George will be Duke of York).

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    I think you may be surprised by the great plans I have for Isabella.

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    I prefer Elisabeth to Savoy, Christine to Spain, and Anne of Austria to England (marrying a surviving Henry Frederick Stuart...now that would be fun to see). Also Henriette Marie will go to Poland as the wife of Wladyslaw IV Wasa.
  9. WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    You DO NOT get to post utterly impossible fantasy and then get up on your High Horse to insult someone who points out just one of the many invalid concepts you post. Kicked for a week. BTW: I've been around the Sun more times that I can actually believe, almost certainly more than you, and...
  10. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Good description of the American way of war "Never send a man where a hundred shells can go".
  11. Napoleon 2nd in 1830?

    What if during the 1830 revolution, Lafayette (who had enormous influence throughout the revolution) had proposed that Napoleon 2nd became emperor on the condition that he then marries the eldest daughter of Louis Philipe from the house of Orleans as a compromise between the royalists and the...
  12. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    ...to form a weapons section. the idea is that the us would be willing to modernize their inventory. they switch to 7.62 x51 and have the same* performance as .30-06 but in a cartridge that's far more compact *or more, disconnecting the rifle ammo from the mg ammo might mean that they go...
  13. AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    the Norse would not have been capable of fielding large armies and sending over hundreds of thousands of people. natives in the gulf of st. lawrence region would still be fucked but they will not be able to touch Mesoamerica and the Andes until those regions have had decades or centuries to...
  14. AHC: Prime Minister Shirley Williams

    As much as I would like to see it, it's unlikely she would have wanted it. She was later repeatedly urged to run for the SDP leadership, but declined. I think she said that it had a lot to do with her difficult relationship with her husband. So maybe changed that, and she becomes more willing to...
  15. What if Taiwan had been a classical addition to China, not an early modern addition?

    You probably could try it by the early Song, but it would require a lot of top down government effort (from the national level) to make it stick.
  16. AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    But if there are still 10,000,000 of them after the diseases hit, then that's more than Spain at this period and far more than enough to retain a complex civilization, especially if their centre is removed enough from any area that European conquerors can easily access. I believe that there is a...
