    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    I can think of a few 1940's and onwards movies from this TL too (all different storylines to any OTL film) : * They Were Expendable - about the resupply convoys to Bataan *Bataan - a stirring 1944 movie with Gary Cooper * Monty of Malaya - a stirring 1943 with Errol Flynn *Sink the Tirpitz...

  4. AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    More major international contacts before colonization
  5. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    The Japanese did (slightly) better in this engagement than they did in the OTL Battle of the Philippine Sea for roughly the same strategic result.

    PDWs as spin-offs from the 'Artillery Luger' in widespread use in 1915-1945

    Yes the Webley with the stock and the bayonet.
  7. AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    The Ottomans already allowed european traders access to the east. What prompted Spain and Portugal on seeking alternate routes to India was that italian merchants were monopolizing the trade, and going directly to the source was cheaper.

    Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    Colonies, like Pokemon. Gotta catch them all.
  9. No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    As unlikely as this is, let's say Stalin is somehow convinced not to go through with collectivization. Nothing else changes. How would the USSR grow/industrialize further in this scenario? I imagine industry would be less, but there would also be a lot more people alive. Also, fewer...
  10. Catastrophe at Cassville! (Civil War TL)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 3

    The news of the heavy setback in northern Georgia could not have come at a worse time for Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. The struggle for Spotsylvania Courthouse had just ended on the Virginia front, where Grant had tried to drive the Army of Northern Virginia from its positions with...

    'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    Gonna disagree here, the Crusader I and II had much better armour and a three man turret, and the Crusader III had (again) much better armour and a much better gun as well. Weighing only 7 tonnes has its drawbacks. Now the Verdeja No. 2 is a better match for the Crusaders.

  14. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    They'd have to drive at least 600 kms from the border of Kuwait to get to Riyadh. There are only two road routes to get there: 1. Southeast along the shore of the Persian gulf towards Dharan through the major oil fields then west to Riyadh. 2. South through a pretty empty section of SA but...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Photoelectric Solar panels were just too low efficiency in the '80s, and expensive. Now doing Thermal Solar, to heat or at least preheat water, that was working in the '70s. Heat Pumps were also starting to be an option at this time, more production would get efficiency of scale in there to drop...
  16. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    Even if the Iraqis could get to Riyadh (which is very doubtful) taking Riyadh does absolutely nothing to prevent US forces from pouring into Saudi Arabia. (The Dharan airport and the ports at Al Jubail and and Ad Damman are infinitely more important than Riyadh in that regard.) And there's no...

    I would think that a Victory at Sea 13 episode season would have the following episodes (this assumes American financing of the series): Surface raiders Sinking the Kriegsmarine surface units 1941-1942 Convoy actions Pearl Harbor and Wake Island Holding the Malay Barrier MED Sea actions...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Now, if Wim gets one of Sony's mini film cameras, I can imagine, after the top brass have finished having conniption fits, wanting a friendly journalist, (Hello Zella), to release the footage from inside an Orkan. Wim's eye view of flying in an Orkan?
