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

    Everyone thinks that FDR was confined to a wheel chair/couldn't walk because of Polio. In reality his cojones were simply too large for any set of human legs to be able to carry. He originally used a wheel barrow before deciding a wheel chair was more "Presidential".
  2. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    If Austria looses badly both in Bohemia and in Italy (the former happened, the latter should have happened given a decent commander), it is difficult to judge what might happen. By mid July, the Prussians might be close to Vienna, and the Italians in Trieste and on the Brenner Pass.. France...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    honestly neither are really to my personal taste, I'd rather prefer a rhythmic folk song like "katyusha", but I've yet to find one that isn't soviet/bolshivek

    Ahm, go visit one and we'll compare notes. Remember I mentioned how the battery was maintained?
  7. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    Well, I guess in real life their coalition was formed mainly out of fear of fascist takeover; communists who otherwise would've supported revolution allied with more moderate leftists to keep the right out of power. Fascism may not be quite as prevalent and dangerous in this timeline but then...
  8. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Which doesn’t change the fact that the British didn’t know that, tried to take the vital port, and failed.....rather decisively.

    Of Poets and Supermen Volume I - The Drums of War

    A Case for Rome or: Gabriele D'Annunzio indulges himself much to the dismay and horror of the spirit of Hannibal and the ruins of Carthage Rome in all three of its forms (Republic, Empire, and Byzantine) has been held up as a dominant pillar in human civilization, and for good reasons. For...

    And people wonder where FDR got his brass tubas? (^^^)
  11. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    The local supermarket chain? Heh, it could be Ralph's, Market Basket (acquired by Kroger IOTL in the 1950s), Alpha Beta. 7-Eleven? Man, I am surprised. Considering that IOTL 7-Eleven began as a division of the Southland Ice Co. in Dallas in 1927, I would think that they would have been...

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

    It seems you disagree. I don't buy for a second that the US Navy would have put Truman on board a submarine and dived with it unless it was very, very sure that it would all go right—To put things simply, that the submarine was not a death trap. Reason: The fallout of an accident with U-2513...

    Still beat by the whole "Prepare to give a three hour long public speech. Get shot in the chest from close range. Proceed to make a small joke about the shooting and then go on to give the entire three hour long speech verbatim with blood pouring out of his chest before agreeing to go to the...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    "These continent sizes aren't accidentally misrepresented or due to the Mercator projection, it is actually an intentional colonial way of portraying superiority" Well, that's enough internet for the day, I'm going to go down a few litres of vodka to forget that there are people who politicize...

    Threadmarks: Interlude: World Challenge 2018

    After a disappointing 2017 edition, the UAE made a great run this time around. After a difficult start, only passing on penalties against New Zealand, but beating Senegal in the second round before finally falling to Brazil after a quite close game. On the other hand, Mexico made a similar run...
  16. AHC - Boost production of Saffron spice outside of Iran

    Well, it was a specialty crop of Pennsylvania Amish and Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa Mennonites until WWII. Maybe if some entrepreneur subsidizes its reintroduction there the same way Seagram's subsidizes the cultivation of sorghum among Indiana Mennonites to produce Sorgh-Rum(R)...
  17. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    The title says it all. What do you think would the RCN procure in the interwar years if it had the same percentage of the Candian GDP devoted to it as Australia devoted for the RAN? And how this increased budget effect the both the interwar era and WWII especially during its first half?

    Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Britain mobilised around 500,000 men in the Napoleonic wars. Only 43,000 saw action in America against around 200,000 mobilised us troops. Also..... Orleans happened after the war ended.
  19. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    The original "small solution" was a double envelopment. Without an eastern front, there will be a lot more Germans on the western front so even with air power, a breakout of all men is not guarenteed.
  20. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    Actually, the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine was a matter of realpolitik; it served various goals (satisfying the miitary, the nationalists, and pacifying the fears of Baden and Bavaria). The French and the Russians still would only benefit from the removal of the German giant, as would the UK be...
