  1. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    I suspect in this TL there will be something called the Great North Pacific Turkey Shoot. It's unlikely to be any more favourable to the Japanese then OTL's Battle of the Philippine Sea. And that's just the air battle component. No doubt the USN will be launching counter strikes against the...
  2. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    How close did Britain get to maxing out it's Treaty limits in terms of cruisers and fleet destroyers? 1 LNT was to run for 5 years, if the RCN was fully on board then the British-Commonwealth allocation could possibly be met in that time-frame rather than relying on what Britain and Australia...
  3. Alternate warships of nations

    If Britain knew that during WNT negotiations America would push for and the UK would agree an end of the Anglo Japanese alliance building up Netherlands would be consider an ideal geopolitical outcome for the UK. By my reading German yards won't be able to complete any warships for the...
  4. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    I mean, it's not impossible, but it would require an England-screw. But even if they won, I'm not sure it gets you what you want. The Confederation was not really a very aligned group and would likely have fallen into in-fighting in victory. And if they are kept together it will be through...

    A Nixed Result: a 60s Timeline

    Awesome, great to see an update, welcome back. Onto the subject of the update, this is interesting, McCormack tried to pass civil rights, failed and then sent troops down to the south. So even if he can find a successor, I’m not sure the Party is going to want a successor to McCormack but...

    Q-Bam Historical Map Thread

    Ottoman Vilayet, Sanjak and Kaza's. Some stuff to note: -It was mostly done by overlaying, except for in The Balkans. -Some areas are missing Kaza's, but I don't have anything on them. -Everything that is de jure Ottoman is added for maximum coverage -It's syntax is probably inaccurate, but the...

    The last Hanover

    The younger ones have been mentioned as spending time with the child Elizabeth. I'm sure the others will appear in due course.

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Because Diane is *precisely* the kind of woman Henry adores, and Mary, rebound charms aside, most definitely is not? Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I could see artificial tattoo sleeves becoming a part of costumes for cast members dressed as pirates or, in the case of DisneySea, sailors. So while actual ink would still be out of the question stretchy nylon printed to look like tattoos might be acceptable.
  11. State(s) of War in Germany in ww 1 - about Cliches on Cliches

    I assume that's the Field Army - Replacement Army setup that Van Creveld wrote about in 'Fighting Power', where each Corps at the front is connected to an area in Germany where it draws its recruits etc. As for the Silent Dictatorship, it sounds as if it was merely another faction in German...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    So are ocean going ships and compasses, should we get rid of those too?

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Olympus line given its terrain is pretty defensible if held by any significant force. The likely lines of advance can be roughly seen in the map below. Tempi valley to the east is pretty much impassable. Which means either Servia to Sarantaporo and then Elasson or Petra pass to Elasson...

    FRG withdraws from NATO

    They lost the war, so they don’t have a say in what happens. The Allied occupation of Germany began long before the FRG joined NATO and would last after the FRG left NATO.
  15. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I don't think we're in disagreement, then! Germany will be better off by 1944, but it won't have enough fuel or productive capacity to defeat the Western Allies in the air. It will still be defeated in the air by attrition, after which the Allies can bomb Germany freely with substantially lower...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Why do I get the feeling Lady Talbot will dislike Diane de Poitiers immensely while the other will just be slightly... disgusted by Talbot’s goings on? Queen Mary is playing a very nice game of diplomacy here. Bravo. Nice chapter.
  17. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    With his nightcaps and the tatters of his dressing-gown he patches up the gaps in the structure of the universe. (Heinrich Heine) It was not so that the NASA kosmonauts at Lunoseló hadn’t found water. They had in fact, but they couldn’t use it. There was water, or rather ice, in the deep...
  18. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Glad to see someone caught the reference to Thundarr the BarbarIan, But jokeing aside you have to fix the plot while that the mone traveled light years in weeks or months. it to any chance if it being taken seriously and tossed it out the window on day one. And thus undermined the whole look...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    That's the best case scenario, but I think it can happen since Henson knows how to approach conflicts ITTL in an effective manner and Katzenberg probably won't have the same amount of power that he had in the Disney company OTL. So this reminded of the Cyclia post where standards were relaxed...
