    I believe so.

    Battle of Fredericksburg WI: Lee Destroys the Pontoon Bridges and Traps the Union Army

    I'm not certain, but am leaning to a no. The wood pontoons used by the Army of the Potomac were 31 feet long with a flat bottom and squared ends. These floats were very strong and held up well to the rigors of war. However, repairing these pontoons was very difficult. U.S. engineers were also...
  3. Photos from 1983: Doomsday

    That’s what I thought actually, I looked it up but I couldn’t find anything of the sort.
  4. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    I believe when Adam Smith stated that colonies will eventually turn traitor is very correct people you are always more concerned with their own interests. The British no longer hold sway over USA, Canada and Australia. There's always a possibility of having Dukes and the King move his residence...

    AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Hot take: I think this can be attributed to the ERE being exceptionally resilient for a pre-modern state, so succession crises, while destabilizing, weren't deleterious to the point of redrawing the map every few decades. Contrast this system with the Frankish/Germanic system of splitting up...
  6. AHC: Romance languages disappear

    You are underestimating the amount of Central Asian DNA in Turks, if you tried describing some Turkish populations as being a mixture of various near eastern and European populations and also used Turkmeni as a proxy for Oghuz ancestry many Turkish population end up having 40-50% Turkmeni...
  7. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    So Dagmar and Alexandra switches the royal families they will marry into? Interesting! :)
  8. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Since you mentioned England, the following might be worth listing for 1066-1461. William the Conqueror: Whether or not you believe him about Harold Godwinson, he still took the crown by force - not peaceful succession. WIlliam II: Death by hunting accident. Henry I: His brother would certainly...
  9. Feeble Constitution - A Red-and-Green Russia 1917 Timeline

    Manfred von Richthofen's death was post-PoD, so, theoretically, he could live. But he really was such a daredevil that at some point in time, it simply had to happen. Also, someone of his social background would be quite expensive to hire, more an ornament than a practical instructor... Udet and...
  10. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    Later that night when the police had gone and the bodies of Emily and Edward had been taken away by undertakers, Sarah and Patrick hugged and kissed each other goodbye, and he went home to his lodgings in Belfast. Paul Elliott paid fourteen shillings a week rent for the four...

    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    I think if you make the canton rectangular, it might look better to have the red band and the white space in between being the same width like in your previous version.
  12. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    You wouldn't, although next time around they did their bit to help Hitler by making sure the BEF was stuck on the French / Belgium border (instead of crossing the Belgium / Germany border in late 39 and meeting the Panzers returning from Poland in Berlin by the spring of 1940 ... yes, I know...

    It's only been 2hrs 30mins. Give it time. XD Also, I do have some ideas, but I'll decide and post over the weekend on it.

    The first one it´s the original bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona...would it had survived DD?

    Photos from World War Z

    The problem of Hashima is where to get freshwater. Rainwater won't be enough to supply the refugees living here. Also, was this where the live-action adaptation of Attack on Titan was filmed on?

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Seconded - and I owe @The_Most_Happy some name help after she named quite a lot of the children in the TL we're currently brainstorming. 🙃
  18. The Tudor Rose over Brittania
    Threadmarks: Tudor Rose over Britannia Chapter 17

    Henry watched as Sebastian Cabot outlined his proposal for further exploration and a future settlement of the New World under English control, similar to what the Spanish and the Portuguese were doing. “Now, King Henry, we cannot venture into this southern continent, for that will spark...
  19. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    IIRC the British .270 round and the Rifle No9 were designed together with the aim of being a effective in full auto fire and all the trial showed that this was in fact the case. So I would not consider .270 the round to powerful for full auto, all ammunition choices are compromises, you just...
