  1. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    While most potted histories of the Second Russo-German War focus on the titanic struggles of the Northern front, many tend to overlook the importance of fighting in the Ottoman Empire, and even more frequently the considerable contribution of the Ottoman Empire to the Allied cause. 1944 found...
  2. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through. (Jules Verne) The Raumbus was now floating alongside the Hammer. The boarding manoeuvre could begin. It was awkward, but there was no other way to do it. The passengers were, working in...
  3. 'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    I refer you to a very old thread of mine regarding an alternate development path for Italian tanks. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/a-better-11-39.237522/
  4. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    LTC Mike Calvert of the Chindits wrote about a mounted charge over a group of Japanese tossing hand grenades as they went past
  5. How much more difficult ww2 if Germany had enough fuel

    Luftwaffe training can be kept competitive, that's a major boon for the LW. They can also ship more fuel to their affiliate countries, that indirectly helps Germany. Training of the armored forces can also be longer & better. Frontline troops can use their hardware as it best to the situation...
  6. Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    Type of ship depends on what the purpose is- the Bengal based section of the navy tends towards smaller more manoeuvrable ships for ease of use in the islands, while the Gujarat based western fleet is more specialised for longer distance control of the open ocean. The quintessential Mughal...

    Flag Thread V

    Part of my own take on the 1980s Soviet-victory miniseries Amerika. The Unity Party was the sole governing political party of the United States from 1992 until the dissolution of the United States in 1999. It was formed at the conclusion of merger talks between the then-dominant Democratic and...

    How effective was the Soviet bioweapons program?

    Since never used, could say not effective at all, after Nixon said a WMD is a WMD, and closed up most of the NBC programs, leaving (N) for retaliation Nukes trump both in cost and effectiveness, as well as safety in storage
  9. 99 Red Winged Balloons: A hockey TL

    Well, they already appeared in the cup final in 1990 ITTL, dale hawerchuk's last year with the team. Granted, they lost, but it definitely helped attendance and revenue. If they make it (and i do mean if. That blues team with hull, oates, stevens, brind'amour, courtnall, ronning, the cavalini...
  10. Social perceptions of Vietnam without First Blood

    So what would the social perception of Vietnam be without the book and movie First Blood. I feel like the movie reinforced the trope of the "bitter Vietnam vet." Without the movie, would Vietnam have been as remembered as Korea.
  11. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    It most certainly does, it's the poster child of increasing specialisation. The A7 is a better tactical attack aircraft than say a Mirage III of similar vintage, it carries more bombs further more efficiently and likely drops them more accurately. The A10 does certain attack missions better than...
  12. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Seems like the A-7 losses were pretty low in Vietnam - about 13000 sorties vs. 6 losses for the USAF's A-7D. USAF lost 4 A-10s during the GW1, the A-10 fleet making almost 8000 sorties.

  14. How much more difficult ww2 if Germany had enough fuel

    How much more difficult would world war two be if Germany had enough fuel for it's military and industries?
  15. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Point of clarification: Are you saying that it was a widespread notion within Poland and Hungary during the Cold War that: there had already been a nuclear war, that the Soviets had won it, and that they were living, Matrix/1984-style, in a world where the government was telling them that the...
  16. Texas Two-Step: Nixon nominates Connally as VP in 1973

    I agree. What an amazing episode. My best to you and your wife.
  17. How effective was the Soviet bioweapons program?

    Quite a disturbing book if even half of what he claimed is true.
  18. How effective was the Soviet bioweapons program?

    They might have built up some stockpiles, but in the end, bioweapons are a paper tiger and even nowadays, there are lots of limits to what engineering can do. Thirty or more years ago, the most that could really be done is selective culturing. And with human cell cultures being in their infancy...
  19. How effective was the Soviet bioweapons program?

    Not true. They developed anthrax which was quite virulent - unfortunately they managed to kill over 100 soviet citizens due to an accident at Sverdlovsk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverdlovsk_anthrax_leak And of smallpox that sickened 18 and killed 5 of those people at an accident in 1971...
