  1. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    Ideally he'd have been turned into a ghost writer himself (as in: a ghost who writes).

    Something about Kilwa ?

    They won't have sugarcane land until they conquer Natal.

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

    I do think it was interesting, on a related note, that even with the ridiculous ASB super-tech of Da'at Yichud in the new Wolfenstein series, that it still took the Nazis until 1946 to win the war. Even in a scenario where the Nazis have literal tripods and laser weapons, they still can't win...
  5. AHC: Non-European Colonial Empires

    Oman held power in East Africa for some time, before the Arabs started dominating Indian Ocean trade I think you could see similar Indian-based Hindu influence in East Africa as in SE Asia.

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

    No. You need logistics, a Navy and experience of amphibious warfare. More factories do not help with this. Operation sealion was a bluff to get the British to withdraw from the war. Invading Britain would just mean even more people for the Reich to feed. Britain was in large part dependant on...
  7. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    The EM2 in long and Short barrel versions was designed to replace the Rifle and SMG in the British Army with the Tanden GPMG replacing the Bren and the Vickers MG at company level. The remaining .303 Vickers Mg were to be held at Battalion level. this weapon and ammunition choice was based on...
  8. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    Way too pessimistic. A Germany with the industrial capacity of the Americans, british Empire and Soviet Union combined, only separated from England by a small channel, would almost certainly overcome any defense the OTL british could ever muster. Heck, just being america-level would most likely...

    A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Goes to context. If one is the logistics planner for an expeditionary army... One part of that army is fighting in Guadalcanal; one part is fighting in the Aleutians, one part is fighting in Tunis, and one lessons learns from all that fighting... One is going to want a common bullet that...
  10. Britain colonized

    I would say non-settler colonialism is the total control of another country's economy and extraction of its resources for the benefit of the colonial power.

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I do wonder just how stable a massive Poland-Lithuania-Hungary will be with cultural and religious differences likely to cause a lot of problems down the line and nobles in each county wanting different rights/levels of autonomy. Plus the rest of Europe is probably now scared of the giant of...
  12. New Britain Mapping

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

    Hello, may I request this? I would like a world map of the alternate history timeline, Kaiserreich. You guys may know about this, it's basically when the Germans won WW1.

    A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    The “kill a horse at 1,000 yards” line comes from a requirement for .45-70 in the late 1860s and then a rather dubious interpretation of requirements that succeeding cartridges (.30 Krag, .30-03, .30-06, .308) be at least as powerful as the cartridge they replaced.

    Britain colonized

    shhhh.... don't go around revealing the secret plan to everyone! I kid but legit tho, I think you might need to cripple their navy early or ensure that European powers have stronger navies. Without a strong navy, Britian will be continually conquered and colonised.
  15. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    If the Germans do have industrial parity there will be so many people working in the factories that the armed forces will need to be drastically reduced.
  16. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    I would start by putting money into infrastructure. IOTl the original Esquimalt graving dock was 450x65 ft in 1918. That is plenty for a destroyer but is getting a bit cramped for a cruiser. If this can be extended to 7-800 x 100 ft you are future proof for Cruisers for a while. The other...
  17. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    With that much industrial parity, it's theoretically possible for the Germans to pull off a Sealion and barely win the war.

    WIP Map Thread

    Too bad, it looks promising though. What was this project supposed to lead to?
  19. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    fify the cost is that you have to run 4 production lines for ammo pistol ammo an intermediate cartridge for assault rifles, the new mg ammo the old mg ammo i want to get rid of 4 and leverage what i can to make it easier to bring 3 online while not getting caught with my pants down.
  20. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    I do wonder what the consequence of a confederation will be on the regional languages of Italy. (I always tell my students that Piedmontese, Lombard, .... are NOT Italian dialects, they are Latin dialects like Tuscan), from what I gather they are way more spoken in the South, maybe they'll do...
