  1. 9 Fanged Hummingbird

    Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    A small group of Green Berets and CIA working in league with Dostum's militia in northern Afghanistan mounted up on horses because that was what was available before larger ISAF forces were available in-country. They defeated better armed Taliban formations, largely because said Green Berets...

    Flag Thread V

    For some reason, John Henry jumped out at me at that.
  3. Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.
    Threadmarks: ACT 3

    ACT 3 Mitteleuropa: The German Dream, by Fritz Fischer. European colonialism in the late 19th century can be broadly divided under three categories: financial, strategic or pride driven. A good example of an economic colony was the Dutch East Indies, which provided a protected market for the...
  4. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    No number are being put on the table to back up that disagreement. Carl Krauch, Goering's Plenipotentiary for Chemical Issues, estimated in December 1940 that without Barbarossa Germany would be at a severe deficit come 1942. Anand Toprani notes in Oil and the Great Powers: Britain and Germany...
  5. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Is there any coherent phonetic guide to American? If not, I could ome up with one.
  6. Alternate warships of nations

    Greece did in OTL right before WW1 contract with the Germans to build them a dreadnought ( Though strangely enough using US made 14 inch guns and turrets). In OTL a combination of factors meant it got only half built. If Greece was in better shape post war the Salamis might have been finished.
  7. WI: a different Anatolian beylik creates an empire

    This is probably not a plausible POD, but what about Umur Bey? As mentioned previously, he was actively trying to create an empire. From what I know, he was also on friendly terms with Ioannes VI Kantakouzenos. Could we see an Aydinid Empire where the Byzantines willingly give their holdings...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    So, if a Democrat wins in 1984, does that mean a Republican wins 1992? Or...
  9. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    I've had a timeline for some time exploring this idea. However, I'm sure there would have to be a lot of changes to OTL in order for Quebec to join the United States. I was thinking that, following the 7 Year's War, Britain attempts a cultural genocide in French North America, limiting all...
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    That would be the best option for Greece. And arguably Yugoslavia if they handle it right. But I don't think the TL established so far has any real provision for affecting Yugoslav politics. So the Coup probably remains. And IIUC Papagos replaced almost the entire leadership of the Greek forces...
  11. WI: Free Italy - a.k.a. Kingdom of Italy in exile as an Allied nation

    Honestly seems like in the North the Italians are doing unrealistically bad. Unlike in OTL their their on the defensive on their home turf ( which is really bad for attacking terrain wise) and they've been attacked so their morale should be high. I mean terrain wise theres a reason their were...
  12. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    I did; they managed to feel different from the "main" sections without seeming lower quality or out of place, which is tough to do.

    Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    No collapse. Maybe a change in the power dynamic between the larger and mid-sized German states, but DEFINITELY NO COLLAPSE (sorry for the large letters, but wanted to be sure my vote was clear)
