    WI French capital isn't Paris

    Paris has been slowly coming to prominence ever since Clovis chose it as his capital. I doubt Rouen would overtake it.
  2. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    No nukes in 1945 is not the same thing as no nukes ever. It just means nukes a few years later.
  3. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    They're talking about getting an F-36 in more like five years, not 20. The explicit point of the program is to get something cheaper and able to be produced faster than the F-35 so that aging F-16s can be quickly replaced. Having a 20-year design cycle would completely defeat the purpose. I'm...
  4. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    If Italy takes Trieste, Istria and Fiume, which is just adjacent. Austria has not anymore a viable port, either for trade or for the navy. Incidentally, the border should include all the county of Gorizia, up to Postumia in the east. Dalmazia would be very difficult to attack by land, given the...
  5. Germany and Japan Unite!

    I think it's an interesting question. What If there was more collaboration between the two countries, if Japan had shared the date pearl harbour was going to happen and the subsequent attack on British far east possessions could the Germans plan their attacka in North Africa to seriously...

    An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    Hey I'm the author for the last article on that list! I actually considered renaming it to United States and Peoples of America or United Peoples of America.
  8. Was there a realistic chance for all of Germany to become a marxist-leninist socialist country in the aftermath of WW2?

    Before I noticed this said all of WW2, I was going to say that "Part was. It was called East Germany", but yeah @mial42 is right, that you would need Soviet tanks on the Rhine for that.
  9. Germany and Japan Unite!

    Again you seem to be going off a very out of date view of the North African campaign. Rommel constantly overpromised and overextended his forces, ignoring the limited nature of the logistics chain supplying him.
  10. The last Hanover

    Diary of Queen Elizabeth II: 7 May 1839: "Lord M came to me today to offer his resignation after he nearly lost a vote in the house. I am shocked that he feels he should resign when the bill went through even if it was only a narrow vote. He told me I should send for Sir Robert and after...

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Great work on the renders, as always.
  12. Germany and Japan Unite!

    Yes, but with the advantage of access to a myriad of records we now understand how those things happened. We also understand just how fragile the German economy was and the limits of their logistics For Germany to get oil out of the Middle East will require a huge investment of resources they...
  13. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    So the USAF wants 72 F-15EX aircraft to continue it's F-15E capability, an F-36 in 20 years, and 1,700 F-35's by the 2030's. The F-35A flyaway cost is now under $85 million, which is about 2/3 of what F-15EX, EF-2000, or Rafale costs, and about the same as the F-16V. The Navy believes it needs...

    Germany and Japan Unite!

    The Germans were nowhere close to taking Egypt. That wouldn't increase Italian or German shipping capacity nor oil reserves for naval shipping.

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    i suppose Rouen could be an option if it was a Norman-dominated France, at least for the de jure capital (dunno if Paris would still come to prominence in that situation)
  16. Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline
    Threadmarks: 28. A Day in the Life- Badshahi edition

    "The Lived Experience at the Centre of the Mughal Court" Excerpt from the visitors booklet at Mandala Mahal, written by acclaimed historian Shireen Moosvi. It is interesting to note the similarities and differences between the lifestyle of the emperor himself as described by Abu Fazl in the...

    Top Locomotives Never Built

    If you're thinking of an EMU set like the M250, I'd be more inclined to have that be used on the NEC. The distances on the DRGW / WP line are such that speed is not of such an essence, but on the Northeast Corridor there is more than enough mail, courier, parcel and LCL freight traffic to make a...
  18. Germany and Japan Unite!

    Considering how close the Germans came to taking Egypt and how Rommel gave the Wallies such a run for their money with the few resources he had; taking Malta and Crete would give the Germans direct access to supplying their North African front in order to build up for a heavy assault on Egypt...
  19. AHC: Socialist Revolution in Britain after World War 2

    While having socialist revolution in Britain after world war 1 is common trope lets switch things up with having it occur after World War 2. So with a pod of 1918 have a socialist revolution occur in the United Kingdom after World War 2. What would happen in the empire in such a scenario. What...

    What is the most plausible ‘axis victory’ scenario you’ve read/seen?

    Thousand-Week Reich is pretty well-done. The Nazis make it to the '50s before Hitler is killed, the Nazis descend into civil war, all their colonies explode at once, and the Americans invade and drop instant sunshine on Berlin. Germany is dismembered and left militarily neutered, the Soviets...
