    A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    If one is going 7.92, then the logical PoD is before WWII. After the WWII experience, it will be a new bullet/propellant combo based on the winners' ammunition. Only three candidates on the western side of Fulda are possible, .30 or .303 or something weird. Uncle was not interested in "weird"...

    Britain colonized

    I would say that there is a difference between puppet/satellite states and colonial protectorates. Spanish Armada winning would not result in that. They would put Catholics in power and try to recatholicize England, yes. But England would not have become part of the Spanish Empire.
  3. AHC: Non-European Colonial Empires

    Following the collapse of Vijayanagar, the Madurai nayaks invade Sri Lanka and over the next two centuries establish a thalassocratic empire over south east Asia, a chola revival so to speak. I think it was David washbrook who did the most work to show the region was pretty highly developed...
  4. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    Frederick Mulley, the Socialist Labour shadow Foreign Secretary, is back in Sheffield Park. There is a second recount in Ealing North, and Socialist Labour have requested a recount in Acton. The Liberals are defending this seat, and it's a bundle recount. Bob Mellish has held...
  5. An Arthurian Empire of Britannia discussion

    If Arthur ruled for 35 years than his son and Grandson Aldo rulled got 35 and if the created there sons co-monarchs that could create a stable succession.

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Hey, there is no pressure to actually read my timeline x'D , but thank you for getting back into it! :D As for the Fengtian Dynasty's international ambitions, you can certainly expect them to involve themselves in regional affairs. However, I do want to stress that one of the few things they...
  7. AHC: Make "Byzantines" consider themselves Greek before 11th Century

    Dyou think an Umayyad conquest of Byzantium could shift the whole idea of what Roman means so that to be Roman means to be Muslim, which would make the Christians need an alternate name?
  8. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    What is Rhodesia? What is South Africa?
  9. No Carolingian conquest of Saxony

    Either by getting rid of the Carolingian dynasty or something else, how would Saxony develop without the long bloody war with the Franks. I think they might have partook in the 'Viking age', except their influence and participation will dwarf thier northern cousins. I dont see a 'last kingdom'...

    The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    I wonder what America is doing right now
  11. Britain colonized

    If it results in a french or Spanish speaking elite culture ruling the English, with the English seen as a fundamentally different type of human being to the ruling class, with the economic decisions made by the metropolis, why wouldn't it count as colonisation? The only thing that's different...

    'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    Carro Armato M11/39 | 4º Reggimento Fanteria Carrista, I ... The machine is like the American M3 Lee in its limitations. The Semovente later has the exact same system function limitations in an open battlefield. The problem for the Esercito in its combined arms matrix is to figure out how to...
  13. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    In 1784 there *weren't* any western territories in the South. KY was still part of VA, TN of NC, and most of AL and MS part of GA. They would never have been ceded to the Federal gov't if doing so resulted in a ban on slavery there.
  14. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Sorry I haven't commented in a while, but that post about the Feldmans... JESUS F***ING CHRIST! I didn't know NAMBLA existed outside of South Park until that post - and doing a deep read on them after that almost made me vomit. The best word to describe them is "sickening" - I can think of a...

    They have to wait for the new coming of fascist or communist dictatorships to produce them. 😛

    Britain colonized

    British India were puppet states, similar to confederation of the Rhine.
  19. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Hopefully Warwick will get at home alive, else I do not know what his father will be able to do for avenging his death. That branch of the Neville usually was pretty much implacable with their enemies and Salisbury is clearly smart and ruthless enough to make him a very dangerous enemy...
  20. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    Except that there probably wouldn't *be* a Mississippi Territory. GA would never cede the area if it meant slavery being banned there. She wd almost certainly retain it until it had a sufficient white population for Statehood, and then it would be admitted w/o a territorial phase. FTM, once...
