  1. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    It was not just the British The Germans went to a Kurtz round during the war and the Russians after it - and eventually the USA went for a SCHV round in 5.56 in the 60s at the beginning of the Vietnam war not at the end of it. I would argue that it is not the rifleman's job to engage enemy...

    WI: extinct Celts, extant Goths

    Guess we have to find a way to send the Umayyad to the British isles
  3. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    What exactly does this get the Iraqis besides the Coalition coming down like an even heavier ton of bricks on them? It's not like Saddam was trying to destroy the world economy, he was trying to conquer Kuwait, and escalating further would not only make acceptance of his conquest even less...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Some time ago on the Hypothetical Elections Reddit, someone posted a wikibox of George Harrison winning election under the Natural Law Party banner in Liverpool in 1992, as had been proposed by the Maharishi along with I believe Paul and Ringo. It gave him about 90% of the vote with incredible...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    It is indeed related to that DBWI - I came up with this idea about when that was happening, then promptly forgot about it. I was going through my vaults the other day and decided to make some wikiboxes for this scenario.
  6. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    Depends on who they’re fighting against you really think the Saudi and Gulf Air Forces were as capable as coalition Iraq just not have to occupy all of Saudi Arabia just destroy the oil producing capacity if they cannot occupy it , blockade ports and heavily mine the area and possibly create...

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Unfortunately not, that would be too simple. It is a "small" Sahelian state. The African King had sent a letter to Madrid. The Spanish diplomatic mission was composed of Jesuits who were to reach the capital inland. But this did not work out as the journey was too difficult.

    how different would world war two be if the Soviets lost the Russian Civil war?

    Lets say the Soviets lose the Russian Civil War, and garner enough opponents from the Russian populace and the anti-communist forces unite to defeat the Soviets. How different would world war two be compared to OTL?
  9. WI: Edward VI was killed by Thomas Seymour?

    I think she'd manage to turn the tide somewhat re the reformation, and I think she would likely still marry Philip, that marriage was common sense in my view. I do think she'd perhaps be less likely to go on a burning spree and there's likely no Wyatt's Rebellion. Furthermore, it is possible she...
  10. FRG withdraws from NATO

    I agree the decals are beautiful And appreciate that you want to go back to the original intent of the tread The case of West Germany is different than other nations in Asia Pacific , as it was a former enemy that was occupied after defeating its army in battle. Even in japan the forces...

    Balázs Ander – current leader of the Hungarian fascist party, and preeminent party of the country’s political far right, the Jobbik Magyarországért Mozgalom or the Movement for a Better Hungary (or Jobbik for short) in April 2021 (top). Jobbik logo (bottom). Founded in 1953 by István Horthy...
  12. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I think if the first Emperor and his descendants consolidate power properly (unlike otl poland lithuania) and not expand beyond the Urals, I think the country would be rather stable. I think that the other countries can't really do much against it except the Scandinavians embargoing them, which...
  13. WI: The Soviet Union survived as a rump state in Central Asia?

    Very nice analysis. Another question has suddenly popped into my mind. Do you think the USSR would adopt a new, more Turkic flag, or maintain the hammer and sickle?
  14. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    No, at least not yet.
  15. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    We shall see.
  16. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    Part 8. Portuguese sucession crisis After death of King-Cardinal Henrique, there was vacancy on the throne. Henrique, being a Cardinal and an old man, had no childern. So, Portuguese Throne was vacant. Portuguese nobility was worried about the maintenance of their independence and sought help...

    IIRC, maybe Kongo?
  18. WI: The Soviet Union survived as a rump state in Central Asia?

    I think realistically every country in the world would be smart enough to recognize Russia as the true inheritor of all of this.
  19. WI: European fascist parties resisted the Nazis?

    In the fascists' eyes, they were 'true nationalists'. When they weren't collaborating with the Nazis out of a selfish desire for power, they genuinely thought they were making their countries better, or at least, giving their countries better treatment than they would've received if they kept...
