  1. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    The thing is, these all need fuel. Which the Germans didn't exactly have plenty of. And the industry needs fuel too (although I guess that's mostly coal, which they had). And of course manpower. So the problem with a premise like this, if they have the industrial capacity, they also need to...
  2. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    Logistics and production are separate things, but having a large production capacity doe help support a good logistic system i.e being able to make millions of 2.5 tonne trucks doesn't by itself mean those trucks are in the right place at the right time for creating a logistics system. But if...

    Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    Really Large numbers would then stick out of the line, demanding extra space between linings. F.i. Printers would not be happy with that. Also, but now i'm thinking maybe too much ahead, it's not easy on displays of early calculators. I also tried to develop a for adding and multiplying. In my...

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Understood (as one of those "cousins" who has spent some time in Canada and knows a thing or two about the differences and all that, and I get just as peeved as you when terminology gets misused).
  5. Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    I have no real opinion. All the stuff I wanted has been written about
  6. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Hunting raiders and/or defending the West Coast.

    Thursday, April 15th, 2021 President Seaborn announces re-election bid President Sam Seaborn announced in a video and email sent to his supporters that he plans to seek re-election. The move is designed to allow him to begin fund-raising for the 2022 election with 21 months before he is due to...
  8. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Would it be a net gain or loss for Byzantium? In WRE various coups and counter-coups in late period of the state really weakened the state at a time when stability was most needed.
  9. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    No? Monk asked why I thought that a Warpac Force in the same situation wouldn’t have been stopped or even slowed where an Iraqi Force would have, so I explained why. At no point did I say the Iraqis were a WarPac Force nor that they could imitate the capabilities of a WarPac Force. They very...
  10. Britain colonized

    You need a plague. A big plague. That hits NW Europe killing 75% plus of population. It does not spread southwards- perhaps it likes the cold and does not survive warm temperatures. Hmmm. "Guns Germs and Steel" backwards? The bug would spread East along a line bounded by it maximum...

    Claim next Waterloo and Hawai'i.
  12. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Further to my earlier posts, Canadian Vickers and Montreal Dry dock in Montreal (merged or not, as the case may be) can be kept going and expanded by either contracts or subsidies. If you go back far enough to save Polson Iron Works in Toronto that is also an option (maybe they get a chance to...
  13. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Yeah and perhaps the USAF would have preferred to invest in the F15E vs upgraded A7's ? (once the F15E was a realistic possibility.) Edit to add: It also occurs to me that if the situation was dire enough that the USAF felt they needed to spend large sums of money upgrading older aircraft to...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    T'aipei, Taiwan → Manila, Philippines 724 miles or 1150 kilometers. Force Z wiped out. About a dozen RIKKO attacks during the Indonesia campaign, Darwin neutralized, The long dragged out Solomon Islands campaign, CARTWHEEL and Ichi-Go. No Bettys and the Pacific War goes a lot differently for...
  15. Britain colonized

    I am not here to argue for or against any specific definition, but I simply believe this in order to talk about a scenario where Britain gets colonized then we need to establish a common understanding of we mean by colonization - and I don't think that there are any right or wrong definitions...
  16. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Well...actually the U.S. had heaps of drone programs in the 1960s and (very early) 1970s, and some of them were even armed with air-to-ground weapons. However, these were mostly developed for Vietnam, and when the U.S. left Vietnam they were immediately cancelled and dropped from service because...

    WI: Edward VI was killed by Thomas Seymour?

    Lest he be humiliated and be a subject of Tudor Propaganda worse than what Richard III got.
  18. WI: No post-war deportations?

    World war 3 would have occurred sometime in the 1970s .

    The Plantagenet Succession

    True, so more or less stole her sisters children. Brilliant update!
  20. Britain colonized

    Perhaps total control of economic decisions made by and using the central government of the colony? That would incorporate the idea that central policy doesn't often reflect the reality on the ground.
