  1. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Beatty did indeed lose the scouting battle - his signal reports to Jellicoe were sparse and inaccurate. He was saved from total embarrassment by a combination of Goodenough's 2nd LCS doing its job and Jellicoe being a master of deciphering the movements of the battle from a mess of fragmentary...
  2. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Its possible they will continue to do that not only because it keeps it balanced in terms of the 2 parties but its also the alternate or flip side from what we had OTL and having this be an AH beyond what happens with NASA is a clear part of what RDM is doing.

    Have the BMW M1 Series be as successful as possible

    The main problem for the M1 as a road car was the nature of it, as people pointed out it was a hand-built machine that was originally designed because BMW's 3.0 CSL could no longer keep up with the Porsche 911 RSR Turbo and 935. Basically, you'd need to make it meant as a higher-volume car and...

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    I wonder how the governor election would have turned out if Bingham had won the nomination instead of Groark. And good on Nader winning the Senate election. Hopefully, another green senator wins so they can form a caucus. And damn, Eight years of Republican rule for D.C. What a time to be alive.

  9. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    I remember in the late 80's reading a piece by an A-10 Pilot on how they expected to fight in the Fulda gap and the like and the pilots spoke of going under high tension power lines and below the tree line pop up spray some 30 mm at a target then back down to min altitude. They trained at 300...

    It genuinely irritates me that DC isn't a tidy square anymore. I know it was 200 years ago but it still bothers me 😅
  11. WI: DPRK liberalizes in roughly the same time as China

    The DPRK was (and still is) dependent on Chinese support to keep the regime afloat, although at this point I think they could still get some from the Soviets. With that being said, his power base relies on propaganda demonizing the United States. He'd need to be in a situation where there's no...

    Texas Two-Step: Nixon nominates Connally as VP in 1973

    I'm extremely sorry I forgot to send my own condolences earlier [back when they would've been prompt], but I hope that all will be well, and I'm glad to see that everything has improved to the point that you're happy to write again. You didn't let anyone down on the slightest, and I hope I speak...
  13. More effective Japanese ASW in ww2

    Can, yes. Will? No. Not without a major shift in training, doctrine, & officer education, which essentially makes it not IJN any more. IJN took the doctrine of attack more seriously, AFAICT, than any other navy. (Even RCN resisted landing torpedo tubes, fearing it would keep DDs from being...
  14. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Perhaps they will, however Communist France need not be the OTL USSR. It's just as likely that they will not. True, Wilson's ideology played some role in the US's entry into OTL WW1,however a democracy cannot declare war solely on the basis of its leader's ideology. A fair bit of public outrage...

    Threadmarks: 2002 Part 4

    I was initially going to post these together, but I decided it was better to end the previous post at about 2,500 words, because otherwise I find it gets too long to keep my own attention. But then I had over 500 words written and some free time. That may not be the case all week, so 2002 may...

    I assume you and/or your source somewhat ... missperceived some bit of info. As can be found here in this source (a for me still to be unearthed 'Dragons Lair') in 1914 there were : 1 Chief of the Deputy General Staff The rather almost complete (aside maybe some blackmailing sitting in Berlin...

    Threadmarks: Chapter II - The First Hanseatic War

    North Europe witnessed economic growth in the 13th and 14th century as burghers in different trade towns began to form guilds, or hansa, with the intention to trade with towns overseas. The hanseatic cities would come to the aid of one another and work to remove restrictions on trade for their...

  19. State(s) of War in Germany in ww 1 - about Cliches on Cliches

    Only that I very likely understand under this term something very different than you and use it just as a name, an arrangement of letters use by oh so many others to identify a certain era of - not only - domestic affairs during World War 1 in Germany without any reference to the 'usual' meaning...
