  1. Armored trains post ww2

    Easier said than done, especially when missile targeting systems are still in their infancy during the early stages of the Cold War.
  2. Armored trains post ww2

    Country's that have insurgencies would benefit from armored trains
  3. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    Well yes, the assusmption is that nukes are never developed (for whatever reasons).
  4. Armored trains post ww2

    I could see the 'HQ train' continuing in use. It could make them relatively mobile but without the need to keep on (un)packing all the stuff all the time. They can [I suspect] also be protected from NBC too. Only problem is that like MKD points out, they're relatively easier to find/destroy than...
  5. Virginia Liberal

    Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    yes. Correct
  6. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Voted for Kodos.
  7. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Your post just made a scary scenario pop into my brain: In TTL India still gets nuclear weapons around the same time as OTL. Pakistan is not as successful, due to the lack of Chinese help you mentioned. However they keep at it just slower. Eventually we have a nuclear armed India, that's next to...
  8. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    It may be worth remembering that the WestGermans wanted the FAL. TheG3 was adopted because the Belgians would not licenceFAL production to the Germans.
  9. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    York would NEVER accept that and the match would unite nothing. The heir of the Lancasters is Edward of Westminster and almost everyone would put York in the line of succession after him. NOT for the Nevilles who are already enemies of Edmund Beaufort. Again, if he is married to a Woodville...
  10. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    I doubt the saudis would've put up much resistance. They needed a lot of help at Khafji and in the air. Left to themselves they probably would've panicked and fled.
  11. TrucKola

    Map Thread XX

    Thought I would use Quarter-BAM (after making some aesthetic adjustments on individual countries) to depict my universe. The Caucasus region is more chaotic, with two wars of secession going on in Dagestan.
  12. More Holy Roman Empire Electorates

    It's not as as if new prince-electors hadn't been created in later years either. Bavaria and Braunschweig IIRC. If the situation is right, newly created ones can pop up earlier as well - or later. IIRC there was a big shake-up during the Napoleonic Wars, just before the HRE was dissolved.
  13. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I think salt domes and oil storage were the suggested technology that same have helped the Nazis overcome some of their issues in mid war (dragging thread back from unwarranted and borderline racially insulting accusations of incompetence against the German people). Salt dome storage technology...
  14. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    Is the Hawker Hunter based on the Hawker Hotspur with a suitable radial engine?
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    ...as a bank in Niue, to spoof both the proverbial Caribbean Bank Account and the Dominion of Melchizidek), while stage-managing them to the nines!* The two magical caretakers wind up on opposite sides of the issue until the third act when they together discover the whole truth. The only...
  16. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Ah, right.
  17. I liked your story ´An extremely reluctant Fuhrer´ very much and since I recently saw a post...

    I liked your story ´An extremely reluctant Fuhrer´ very much and since I recently saw a post where an America (ca 1955) from another timeline became ISOT in your timeline, I wanted to ask if you could be enthusiastic about something like that? Would definitely be fun to see the reactions from...
  18. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Interesting - are you referring to specific incidents in pre-war Germany and if so which ones? (A) where is a reference to High-temperature steel/gunmetal alloy from the link? and (B) you might want to dig a bit further than a Reddit post Again, your using some sort of ethical calculus as...
  19. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Sorry == my poor attempt at humour ... the correct quote is, I believe, "The trouble with the French is that they don’t have a word for entrepreneur" (supposed said by President George W. Bush's to British Prime Minister Tony Blair)
  20. Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    As far as I remember, we've only got one actual testimony from an orthodox priest in Mughal India and he wasn't super connected with the court. But I think it just makes sense. The official position might be France, but you've got to remember mansabdars and especially princes will form...
