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

    I couln'd really find anything on that, do you have some sources ?
  2. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    The Iraqi's were operating relatively near their border and bases during the Iran/Iraq war, gradually building up a logistics structure in what was a WW1 type battlefield is one thing. Charging deep into Saudi Arabia in what would have been a Blitzkrieg campaign over limited road nets over a...

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

    Yup. That is precisely what I know. The WWII Germans were actually that incredibly incompetent.
  4. AHC: more capitalist friendly Rome

    It's hard to fit free-market capitalism into the world of Ancient Rome, which mainly operated around local economies in the Mediterranean. Until Diocletian's ill-fated attempts to curb inflation, Rome adopted mostly laissez-faire policies when it came to tax harvesting- You pay your taxes, we...
  5. A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Watched. This is going to be a G-d forsaken hellscape once we see the Electoral College. Very good.
  6. WI: DPRK liberalizes in roughly the same time as China

    I wonder if the DPRK positioning itself economically to chase the ROK delays democratization in South Korea. China could perhaps promote DPRK as the first case of China exporting its "Reform and Opening Up".
  7. AHC: more capitalist friendly Rome

    1: Slavery: needs to go, free markets are dependent on buyers, and having slaves promotes classism, aristocratic ideas as well as being disastrous in the long run. 2: Thinking: the philosophy of the time didn't allow for capitalism like the one that arrived prior to the Industrial revolution, it...

  9. The last Hanover

    Elizabeth II life and reign was not perhaps something those who witnessed her birth on a cold winter day just over 82 years earlier could have perhaps expected. Her Highness Princess Elizabeth Georgina Adelaide of Clarence came into the world at St James' Palace on 10 December 1820. The...
  10. Magnum's naval PoD's. Ep. 7 - Danish navy puts up a fight in 1940

    IIRC the Germans had the element of surprise in OTL. Do they know the Danes are coming in this scenario or are they caught off guard? Also is the battle during the day or night? If it's the former, I'd wager that the Luftwaffe shows up early enough to impact the battle. That being said, the...

    Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império" v2.0

    The Portuguese urbanization and the growing urban population of the late 1700s was in stark contrast to the mid 1700 where the country was mainly rural and those wishing to leave the farms had little to no opportunities in Portuguese cities and would migrate to Portuguese colonies and elsewhere...
  12. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I'm trying to understand your line of thought here - massive increases in oil storage has been put forward as a potential technology that may have mitigated some of the Germans achilles heel in terms of petroleum products. Your initial response was to suggest that oil storage is dangerous ...

    An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    A bunch of "democratically elected" ethnic leaders who've held power forever because every time somebody suggests reforming the system they get expelled from government until someone more suitable to the status quo is elected. Hardly anybody votes anyway because they've seen that there's little...
  14. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    What he said x3... Wait, that's a cubing issues isn't it? Awesome by an order of magnitude then? Maybe? :) Fantastic as always Flyback and vertical landing requires you accept a performance penalty (a bit over about 15% of possible orbital payload for SpaceX at this point) and NASA is already...

    Hopefully the Yorkists break first and their invasion into Cornwall goes wrong 😈. Great update!

    The last Hanover

    My guess is elizabeth of clarence, daughter of william iv and queen adelaide, survives to become queen...
  17. Magnum's naval PoD's. Ep. 7 - Danish navy puts up a fight in 1940

    The first thing that comes to mind for me...will the Danes be willing to fight? Throwing ideas out (like spaghetti on the wall to see if it's done)-
