  1. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    Why did France take part in the invasion, anyway? Did they also own a substantial part of the Suez Canal Company?
  2. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    By the way does anyone have any good PODs as to why the Canadians are spending considerably more on their navy? The closest thing I've got to a plausible answer is that the events of @YYJ's timeline The Rainbow happened.

    Hatsunese Space Program - HASDA (alternate Japan) | 1976-07-23 | Final Utahime mission, Venus orbiter, 2nd lunar lander probe
    Threadmarks: Phase 2 - 18 - M-1A/B, Geostationary network, first crewed rendezvous, first Mars orbiter (1973-1974)

    ...why leading zeroes were used for human missions was that the number "4" could be pronounced similarly to the word for "death" (shi) in Hatsunese* (an alternate pronunciation for 4 was yon). The destination was the Rendezvous Target Vehicle (RTV-1) which had launched a week earlier by a...
  4. Alternate warships of nations

    Do we know how far long the construction of the canceled Admirals specialized material like engines, armor plate, guns and turrets and the fire control systems for them was?
  5. Alternate warships of nations

    Well the suggestion was that a partially completed warship that the British did not intend to complete would be sold. That said I don't believe that any of the unfinished Admirals would be far enough along that they would be worth buying as the vast majority of building still remains to be done.
  6. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Your basic problem is that Ireland is very hard to maintain central rule until you drain the bogs and build roads, and you need either an external power or a late date to do that.

    WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    I call it unnatural because how ironic is an alliance between a Republic founded on democratic values and an Empire founded on authoritarian values. France: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Russia: Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality.
  8. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    And with the tonnage limits on said categories expiring on January 1st 1937....well I for one could easily see that no ships actually end up being scrapped to pave way for RCN tonnage but their "replacements" being laid down and timed as such to finish post January 1st 1937. Maybe have a few...
  9. Count of Crisco

    Alternate warships of nations

    Yeah I doubt the RN would willingly part with an Admiral. But I think a few older ships may be available. I asked for the incomplete German ships though as they could be modified to suite the users needs.
  10. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    What singers have performed at the White House ITTL?
  11. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    The Royal Navy definitely maxed out its tonnage limits for cruisers. What they didn't do was max out the replacement of tonnage. Under the first London Naval Treaty any cruisers laid down before 1 January 1920 could be replaced by 1 January 1936. By my reckoning there was 21 cruisers of the C...
  12. 'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    Yeah, no navy can run without fuel. Plus, the RN had the radar on its side. However, a more competent coordination between the Navy and the Air Force might do some good (for example, it would be vital to take Malta, one of Italy's biggest mistakes was to not take it. Actually, this thread gave...

    Want to DM me about Court cases and whatnot?

    Alternate warships of nations

    I don't see why the British would give anyone an Admiral class battlecruiser. Wouldn't they just give an Iron Duke or the Tiger (or if need be an R or QE or Renown/Repulse) and keep the Admiral?
  15. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I think it depends on how correct the "Icebreaker" theory is. If the USSR was going to attack in 1941, the poor state of its army means that Russia will simply suffer something akin to its OTL losses in Poland and Romania. There will probably be some kind of armistice a couple years later, and...

    When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself. Certainy can't argue with her timing there
  17. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I certainly agree that German & other European Axis countries' fuel situation was not good by early 1941. What I don't agree is that German fuel situation will get worse than it was the case in OTL. Not attacking Soviet Union will see to that. German pilot's training program can be longer and...
  18. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    I am enjoying this and really look forward to the post war situation. The Soviet Union will be far less battered for sure, which is an advantage. Men like Petain will not be discredited TTL and with a stronger red threat and likely status a “war heroes” I could see reactionaries rise there...
  19. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Didn't the USA use horses during the invasion of Afghanistan?
  20. Plausibility Check: is it possible a unified Roman Britain holdout to exist post-410

    In theory you could but you might need a good wank or early fall POD to make it work but the kingdom of Gwyneed had its origins as a Romano-Briton succesor state who's rulers would go on to unite the kingdom of Wales and if it was wanked (or the Saxons screwed) then it might be a possible...
