  1. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Finally caught up! I've decided to keep on reading despite the Britscrew, especially because I'm looking forward to seeing how the Germans and Chinese act towards the Red Wave that is gradually overrunning East Asia. I'm actually quite happy to see Imperial China survive under the Fengtian...
  2. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    cons Horses have to be fed .. and watered ... (you can't count on living off the land, or if you do you limit your tactical operations to the good grazing / water wells) Horses need 'down time' (trucks can move all day and night, if need be) Horses need a different type of mechanic (vet) and...
  3. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Absolutely NOT. Exeter had married Anne of York much earlier but was a staunch Lancastrian who was attainted and NEVER reconciled with Edward. He will need to be much careful (and reconcile) if he remained in England, and unlikely to marry if exiled

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

    Yes to all of that! All of it! The reading I'm getting from Diane is that she would never have wanted a crown, even if she could have had one, so I don't see her becoming Henry's wife, even were she not married. She does know her brother. That helps. I couldn't resist. Glad you're enjoying it!
  5. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    This is a really well-thought-out scenario, I’d be interested to read a longer timeline of this since the political implications for the British Isles and eventually the rest of the world would be massive.

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    You're not just adding fuel to the fire, you're committing arson to justify role-playing as a firefighter. I was going to write a full-length response, but frankly your premise is so stupid that it's not worth my time. Your entire argument is predicated on the belief that the Mercator projection...
  7. FRG withdraws from NATO

    But a unified demilitarized Germany means the Soviets can move across the Fulda Gap and into the Benelux and France without being opposed by NATO and German forces if they want to.
  8. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Molotov Ribbentrop anyone? Hell the entire history of German Soviet cooperation, based not on ideology but mutual interest: overturning the Versallise order. The German order, if anything, is even more prone to causing resentment as a upstart nation getting to punch far above its weight and...

    WI Carter never became US President?

    But unlike Peanut, RR had an excellent rapport with Tip O'Neil, and even in the late '70s, both parties still had conservative and liberal wings
  10. WI: Akhenaten helps the Mittanni

    I see. So you mean that to succesfully help the Mitanni, the pharaos need to pacify Canaan earlier. If they don't, then the situation is bad enough that Egypt and Mitanni might lose by a lot. Akhenaten needs to be more present internationnaly far earlier to even see a chance. I had not seen it...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    For all your "proof," you have yet to give a genuinely convincing argument for why various navies continued to use the Type XXI for years, in some cases even decades afterwards, and why the Americans judged the submarines to be safe enough to put the president on board to secure more funding...
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I hope he is well My first jab had me feeling like crap for the best part of a week - everyone else I know who had it was absolutely fine :confounded:
  13. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    I agree that nationalizing the Suez Canal was extremely popular with the Egyptian people and it would be tempting for any Egyptian nationalist government to do something about the Suez Canal, but Nasser taking over the Suez Canal in 1956 the way he did was born out of very circumstances (Nasser...
  14. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Are you calling those who were planning a US entry in WW2 in january 1941 imperialistic warmongers?
  15. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Not gonna lie, at first I thought you made an April Fool's joke without checking the calendar.:p Are you gonna redo this post in ASE too?

    'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    That makes FIAT unhappy. They pushed on the Moose to make Italy Ford Free. So Italy was the only country to reject a baby River Rouge vertically integrated manufacturing plant, and even assembly plants. Every other country Ford tried, the Italians were the only rejection.

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Didn’t the Duke of Exeter do that though, take a Yorkist bride, fight for both the York’s and Lancastrians, fight at Tewkesbury and regain favour with Edward IV? I mean I’d imagine Beaufort and Buckingham would market their rebellion as restoring Queen Elizabeth of York. Either way he could...

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    A King John of Ireland would be interesting!
  19. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Excellent chapter, nice to see that Marie will make use of Diane's ample charms, though I think she will be disappointed to find that Henry already married mistress Talbot...
