  1. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    But at that point no one really knew how good the Iraqi's really were, if they had I think the odds would probably be a be a bit closer to 70/30.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Just to clarify, my intention for a base vehicle is closer in time period to the Medium Mark D or the US Medium Tanks M1921 or M1922 than the later Vickers mediums.
  3. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    But how long could the rebels *hold* it? Any rebel forces in Quebec are separated from the Colonies by hundreds of miles of virgin forest, whereas British forces have easy access by sea. It would be like Bermuda or the Bahamas trying to become the 14th State. Such a State would exist for as...

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

    They didn't join the Germans after the Japanese decided to 'administrate' Indochina in place of Vichy

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

    Ahhh... That happened.
  6. FRG withdraws from NATO

    What?! How can a *neutral* Bundeswehr be "increasingly belligerent"?
  7. Armored trains post ww2

    To be really anachronistic, you could have an armoured train to carry a mounted patrol unit, the train could carry all the fodder needed and provide a mobile base with stabling and fire support. This might work in a land with few roads and impassable terrain except via a few existing railways !!
  8. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    ...used, had FK10 not been busy bombing Malta. I'm less sure how FK10 could be freed up, absent an invasion (which looks likely to be a clusterf*ck); sending somebody besides Rommel in command DAK (who then actually follows his orders not to engage beyond defensive operations)? What FK10...

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

    Where does Italy fight, with what kind of army and what can she afford? That is kind of the problem. Here is what happened RTL. The quickest fix is to halve the army divisions and redistribute the available RTL equipment into the smaller army and place that army where it will be needed the...
  10. Global Radioactive Dispersal of Nuclear Pulse Space Vehicle Launch
    Threadmarks: Project orion

    My question is based on the canceled Air Force space vehicle Project Orion. In the event that the US launched such a vehicle, what would be the equivalent in terms of nuclear testing? I am asking both about cases where the vehicle launches from the ground and also where it is boosted into orbit...
  11. FRG withdraws from NATO

    And throw the American and the complete NATO-infrastructure out.
  12. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Your linked post leaves me none the wiser. Not sure how it would be possible for a ship like Oklahoma to settle, and THEN capsize in such shallow water. Everything I've read is that she capsized before any part of her keel hit bottom.
  13. The last Hanover

    ...to leave Buckingham Palace as she recorded: "I left in the carriage with Harriet (the Duchess of Sutherland) and Lord Jersey (master of the horse*) at 10. The crowds along the route far exceeded what I had anticipated. They were so good natured to me, cheering as we passed showing such...
  14. If Mondale wins in 1984, does Clinton still become President in 1992?

    Almost certainly not. If Mondale wins in 1984, that is a reversal of OTL's result, which was a massive national repudiation of old-style liberalism. OTL it was followed by a comparable (if not as severe) defeat for liberalism in 1988. This paved the way for the rise of more centrist Democrats...
  15. Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Well everyone is off getting their eyes treated by an ophthalmologist so there is no one left to argue...
  16. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    A/F-X was gonna be VG as were a lot of proposals in the 80s and 90s, killed by Peace Dividends. Considering that most US aircrafts' designs date from the 70s, it's logical we haven't seen new VG in service. In any case, VG was felt to be the only way to get the necessary performance at the time...
  17. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    A "far more democratic" constitution might be a bridge too far: baby steps and all that. Ideally, the constitution of Lombardy will be the footprint for the revision of the Albertine Statute and also for the Confederal Constitution. As I see things, it is more important to build on solid...
  18. WI: DPRK liberalizes in roughly the same time as China

    I once read before the book "The Impossible State: North Korea, Past and Future", a rather analytical book by Victor Cha, a analyst specialising in North korea. The book suggested that his son, the second kim, was pretty much in control from the late 80s onwards due to the advanced age of the...
  19. FRG withdraws from NATO

    German soldiers who might not like to be part of a increasingly belligerent Bundeswehr

    WI: Darwin reads Mendel

    People in this thread talk about maths. That is indeed a factor that should be looked at, because many statistical tools that were used to proof the link between genetics and evolution were brand spanking new. So you would need to speed up that development also.
