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

    Answer the question please. Where would Germany have set up natural salt dome storage? Are you referring to Vickers Hardened? https://www.jstor.org/stable/44438874?seq=1 Are you sure they were the ones to devise the solution? Read your article. Their octane rating was different due to...

    Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Would be a tad interesting if Philip is successful in razing Rome but repeats his father Alexander's failure to bring down Carthage. The Carthaginians take advantage of Argead decline which is inevitable as it is all empires and worms its way into involving itself in Italian affairs in between...
  3. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    That's true, but most of the fighting will be done on land. The Soviets managed to maintain conventional superiority until 1980 or so. Naval superiority won't do much against Soviets on the Rhine.

  5. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Neat. What about Bunyachenko, in particular? Since I had once read of you comparing him to the Brazilian military strongmen of the last century.
  6. DBWI: George Washington, traitor to the empire?

    I know I am commenting a lot. I majored in Mediterranean affairs when I was in College and I worked for the Federal Government in studying the political dynamics of Northern Africa and Europe. To successfully do that, you also need to know their history. Because of that I think I can...

    Agreed, it was more too little , too late than piece of crap.
  9. Geopolitics if China and India positions are switched

    Not sure exactly, but I thinking something like what you suggested.
  10. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    It would have a range of modest impacts that could butterfly into larger ones. Franco-German animosity was a lot less heated than commonly thought in the years immediately following the Franco-Prussian war - no annexation can only help that. A-L is also a valuable province and would strengthen...

    How would you make a a milirary democratic?

    The use of election to select leaders in militaries happened various times, such as in the early Bolshevik Army and the French Revolutionary armies, but France and the Bolsheviks both soon reverted to a professional system resembling their peers.

    Seriously, how are you supposed to get enough stability as Speer to keep the Gang of 4 from leaving when you get only two buttons and neither of them give you enough stability to outpace how much you lose over time?

    Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    That's not the argument made. Which has no bearing on the plausibility of France going communist after a defeat in the First World War...
  14. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    Thanks for the book recommendation. Even if the idea was to end the importing of new slaves in 1808 when the Constitution first allowed it, by setting a date in the future, isn’t it a pretty normal unintended consequence to have a ramp up before this date? And then, the road to hell being...
  15. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Is this thread being derailed in anyway due to the discussion involving the war of 1812 instead of World War 1?

    Geopolitics if China and India positions are switched

    What POD do you see for this? C. Rajagopalachari or a similar figure taking over India while Hua Guofeng wins out over Deng Xiaoping?

    How would you make a a milirary democratic?

    fair enough but besides the top brass militaries in democracies are pretty autocratic. I just wondering is their anything that could be done to change that or there any example in real life of that happening on recruit and NCO basis.

    Well... I've never been able to tell the cheese from a Danish cow apart from the cheese from a German cow, so I'd say the whole Dano-German border issue is a non-issue by now :p While I do think it's a bit "sketch" to take territory away from a defeated combatant and give it to a neighbor who...

    Recognition, investiment and wish for good luck in the future it would be blessed if Socialist Brazil could invest on the WRRF or in Suslov Komi to build the Lada cars, but that would be too memey
