  1. How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    Were the Italians considered as possible suppliers ? They have been building subs since before WW1, and their boats are generally considered to be good.
  2. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    But note how close KY came to authorizing gradual emanicpation in 1792, https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/kentucky-decides-against-slavery-1792.380040/#post-11922142 even with the failure of Jefferson's proviso and even with slaves already being 16% of KY's population by 1790. If...

    UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    Nothing changes. The American air farce and the NAS were lesson learning off the Arab Israeli Wars and the India Pakistan conflicts, not Vietnam which was a massive air campaign bolo of what not to do. One winds up with TACAIR and BIM as to fighter bomber missions, air superiority is still...
  4. AHC: Divide Germany along the Aldi supermarket line

    An overwhelming French victory in an alt-WW2. By "French victory" I mean the French did the vast bulk of the work in actually winning the war and are in position to completely dictate terms without major allies (most likely GB) to hold them back. They'll be: 1) Pissed at having to fight the...
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well, this is certainly depressing; I had not heard about this. I'm not about about to burn Bradley's books, they are good stories. One thing that stuck in my mind from long-ago readings of Regis Hastur novels: while homosexual relationships were accepted on Darkover, an older man preying on an...

    Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    Britain wanted good relations with France. Also angering a nation you're Allied with for a minor colony would be a decision of colossal stupidity.

    WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    Maybe that is because you are too bloody YOUNG to know these kind of alternate histories dated back AGES ago, or too foreign to know about European countries, EXCEPT Russia, rolling their dices just to conquer a single part of Asia. Probably some users here on this page like either @Monk78...
  8. How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    I thought Soryu (Toryu is the latest, IIRC?) would have been the best choice for a conventional submarine to replace the Collins boats. To your point, if the political paradigm shift can be undertaken, Viriginias would be the best option.... I thought the RAN missed a narrow window of...

    The Bleeding Edge: An Alternate History of NASA

    Fun read so far, look forward to more.
  10. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    A tale of some misunderstood Orcs who were just looking for their deserved Lebensraum in Gondor (Osgiliath was their last territorial demand in Middle Earth after all). Due to the machinations of the Elven-Wizardic conspiracy they were forced into a war before being finally defeated by some...
  11. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    The tiaras are not identical and Alix and Minnie wear them in a very different way... (and I hope you have caught who my hints are referred to a specific tiara or better coronet) (For me the fact who the two most beautiful tiaras designed by Albert for Victoria were allowed to go out of the...
  12. AHC: Divide Germany along the Aldi supermarket line

    It's not perfect, but the closest I can think of is the Rhine and then the Frankfurt tributary as a border. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/96/f6/95/96f695f2e0e31eeee3009c487fc45350.jpg
  13. AHQ: Is a Soviet occupation of all of Germany in WW2 possible?

    A *really* poorly timed storm is the only plausible way I see it happening. By D-Day that Allied advantages were just too big for the Germans to stop them (with the benefit of hindsight. I expect it was a lot less obvious in the moment).

    What about this one? Keep in mind im not exactly sure on how up to date it is with the current lore. https://www.deviantart.com/cattette/art/Kaiserreich-A-Pacific-Centered-World-Map-845484613
  15. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    On Friday, Stalin ate through Hitler - but he was still hungry
  16. AHQ: Is a Soviet occupation of all of Germany in WW2 possible?

    The Allies had made deals on the division of Germany. Could they? Yes. Would they? No. So is it possible? No.

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    So glad you like the post! There are some sapphire tiaras in the vault, don't worry - I'll post them with my next tiara post. The Britiah royal family is going to be known for their jewel collection ITTL. Oooh, thank you!
  18. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    I probably should make the canton the same aspect ratio as the flag. But, if I do that, the white strip next to the red strip will definitely not be the same size. I have struggled to actualize this flag.
  19. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Some things to consider: -you have to decide which Quebec is rebelling. The British newcomers to Quebec, or the historic French population. As someone pointed out above, there's a difference. ---a French population agitated into rebellion is going to (A) be poorly received by the Continentals...
