  1. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    The F16 and F18 combined the capability of the A7 with a fighter like the Mirage III. If you xan have both then it makes sense to do so.
  2. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL
    Threadmarks: 1514 (April) - Arrivals

    Sea travelling was always strange and unpredictable, when it was not downright dangerous (as her mother’s journey for Castile and her aunt to it had been years earlier) was the first thought of Eleanor, when they were informed who the English fleet was sighted, a full day earlier than expected...
  3. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    If you're on the hanger deck when it starts to role, you could end up pretty badly injured.
  4. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    Except the Belgium leadership were not that naive.
  5. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Trouble is, Canada is separated from the 13 Colonies by hundreds of miles of wilderness, so that it is virtually in the position of an island. As it has insufficient population to resist effectivelyy on its own, it is pretty certain to be retaken even if it rebels.
  6. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    Part 7. 1570s 1570s were interesting times for Cabo. They started with an plague outbreak in 1570. It is presumed that the plague arrived by ships from Lisbon where it started in 1569. In Lisbon the plague killed about 1%4 of population. In Cabo, death toll was lower, about 15%, but that's...
  7. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Well, on Oklahoma, 429 went down, out of a crew of about 1,400. Call it about...a 30% KIA rate. That doesn't count the wounded, of course... Obviously a Yorktown class carrier had a very different architecture from a WW1 era Standard battleship. The open hanger deck will provide more...

    Threadmarks: But That Wasn't Real Capitalism!

    But That Wasn't Real Capitalism! The Generalissimo's regime was beneficial for the state of Russian capitalism, but at the expense of the Russian capitalists. Due to decades of laissez-faire economic policies established in the hopes of fomenting competitive industrial and service sectors in...
  9. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    There was the most powerful army in the world building up on 'his' border! If that did not elicit a reaction then I don't know what would He knew that his army and air force was 'because of his own actions' not ready to face such an army and so decided to ignore the situation hoping it would...

    Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    I'd take a Nordic dem-soc monarchy over a conservative, corrupt republic any day but, since Scandinavia was a backwater back then, I would've been among those voting for a republic, too. :P
  11. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Can I point you at India, and the 61st Cavalry Regiment who use regularly horses for patrolling the borders of Pakistan and China? They are the largest horse-mounted unit in the world for active military purposes while most of the other horse units are primarily for ceremonial use. It is only in...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Ending an irrelevant debate by using such a horror is called an terrorist attack. He is not human, that's why. 😛

    Chapter Two Thousand Twenty-Three 15th October 1970 Over the Saxon-Bohemian Frontier The new plane was almost invisible in the gathering dusk as Ben was flying through the mountains at seven hundred fifty kilometers per hour almost straight west. This was the proscribed speed that they had...
  14. Images from the Footprint of Mussolini

    Logo of United Russia party. Fascist leaning party was founded in 1977. The party is pretty nationalist and conservative but it doesn't accept communism nor antisemtiism. UR too propose strong Russian army and even wants that Russia would have nuclear weaqpons altough only just on self-defens...
  15. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    what you would need is something that works with putty. so a die that fills with putty and then pressed on the body to apply the putty rivet (or even a row of rivets)
  16. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    "Hitler Potter and the Lebensraum" although for an American market you'll have to rename it.
  17. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Postscript to my last: I think the PHAM *might* overselling the ease of the Kates' attack run just a little, looking at maps of PH at the time. Consider: The red line is the "F2" berth, where Enterprise would have been (to her approximate length). If it is true that Kates had to turn to the...

    Challange: Prague Spring

    The other possible think that could happen is that Brezhnev would actually warn Dubcek (leader of CSR) about pending invasion, if they won't back down with the reforms. Dubcek would understand, that there is nothing he can do, other than submitting to USSR. That would cause serious backlash with...
  19. The Forge of Weyland

    So what do the ATL tanks look like? Do they look like more refined versions of the Cruisers Mark 2 (A10), 3 and 4 (A13)?
  20. Margrave of Moravia

    Challange: Prague Spring

    I think that 1969 would be to late since the invasion was already undergone and since there was no serious backlash, USSR most probably wouldn't let CSR to reform under any leadership. What I was thinking about is Khrushcev being in power in 1968, either being more succesful with his economic...
