  1. WI Carter never became US President?

    Reagan's reputation might be rather different than in OTL if he's the guy who presides over the late 1970s, especially if a Democrat runs in 1980 blaming Reagan for the invasion of Afghanistan and the Iranian Revolution!
  2. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    "Technically" you have more ex-bomber airframes to work with than XC-99's so there'd be less "incentive" initially. (Unless the XC-99 goes into operation which in and of itself is a nifty 'diversion' IMHO :) ) I think you CAN 'bolt' on the mods to the bomber airframe rather than a major rebuild...
  3. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Indeed and Pakistan fizaya was offered the A7 in the 70s before F16s killed that deal
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    With air reconnaissance to disprove the report of a Japanese landing at Kuantan, Phillips would have been back on course for Singapore. So might not have been detected or within reach of the Japanese aircraft.
  5. BELFAST

    Russia vs Germany, WW2

    Probably not. Cash and carry at best.

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    In-universe American items will be posted in English and American.
  7. 'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    Beg, borrow or steal a Czech ZB26 and build it for the Italian 6.5mm round for a start. The rifle's fine, just build a single universal version not an infantry rifle and god knows how many different carbines. Tanks. Switch from building Tankettes to Universal Carriers and buy a licence to...
  8. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    Just got through this timeline this morning, really enjoy it so far!
  9. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    What do you think is going to happen in the Atlantic if Germany doesn't declare war to the US after Pearl Harbor? I think these are the options: 1) US escorts convoys up to the UK => either Germany stops attacking them or at a certain point this will lead to war 2) the US doesn't escorts convoys...
  10. The last Hanover

    Thanks oops will amend
  11. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    Yep - but eg Sarin could be employed tactically eg by mortar shell. It's heavier than air (so will clear the defenders from their bunkers, cellers and sewers) and dissappates 'quite quickly' so would soon clear the defenders in the Staligrad 'grain elevator' (or, for that matter, the Staligrad...
  12. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    They are largey at peace the threat of war in the colonies is small the threat of revolt is greater.
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    If Shrek is made at Disney the jokes at Disney's expense should be kept in a more affectionate capacity than the OTL film's were. If any movie could be made ITTL I'd like Enchanted to be made. Or at least something along those lines.
  14. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    The severe blow to pride and security of France after the war is what mattered. The best move from Germanys side is not to grab less land, its probably to grab more.
  15. FRG withdraws from NATO

    “Germans down “ worked for both sides I thought
  16. How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    From what I remember reading, LaRouche in his writings admitted knowing that the Queen is just a figurehead, but said that, technically, alleged British drug smuggling is carried out in her name. So it seems that he was happy to have the more sensational interpretation of a legal formality get...
  17. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    So insurgents like boko haram not Sunni triangle insurgency Maybe ? Camo nets too fancy remember a large part of COIN in 3rd world is intimidating the civilians so in that respect horses are not bad either esp in areas like Sudan Yemen or even Myanmar ? Horse meat actually tastes good but...

    Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Seeing as Portugal and Rhodesia both did exactly that; yes, absolutely.
  19. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    If you really want to sell 60-70’s US aircraft, the Shah’s probably always good to buy a hundred or so. Certainly had the money. And given the border with the USSR it is more practical then some of his purchase wishlist items like 3x Invincible class ships.
