  1. The New Kratocracy: A Boulanger Coup TL

    Very interesting, again! I am already eagerly waiting for the next update.
  2. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Enterprise was the escort for the Doolittle Raid, and was later at Coral Sea and Midway. If you lose Enterprise at Pearl Harbour, that's going to have a knock-on effect on subsequent operations.

    South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    restoring the monarchy won't really be called recolonization. The 2004 Plan to make Sierra Leone a Crown Territory would have been dubbed recolonization if it had been enacted but restoring the monarchy won't really be a recolonization cry The Thatcherite scenario is interesting indeed. the UK...
  4. (military) technological progress without WW 2

    The limits you've placed on causation mean that you're going to be fed your own output. When I speculate regarding Dubček being forced left by the working class, I'm open to reasonable alternate methods of causative analysis, regardless of my opinions on boards other than this. When you rule...
  5. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    I don't comment this TL often, but i always follow it, and i'm really happy we're back in Asia, i think it's the continent who has developed in the most fascinating way in this TL so far, and i'm really curious to see how it will continue to develop further. And i'm really looking forward to...
  6. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    It would be Goering that took over (definitely not Hess) and this strategy would necessarily be defensive, further gains are not interesting. Nor are colonies interesting, because all they are is a british hostage. No this strategy if it is to make any sense is going to be sticking to two...
  7. The New Kratocracy: A Boulanger Coup TL

    interresting next chapter on France or Russia

    How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Was the reason that France kept fighting because they thought the peace treaty would be very unfavorable?

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Especially given he'll treat her with more mercy than her actions deserve - to quote Penman's Edward: 'I'd not send a woman to the block, Dickon. Not even Marguerite d'Anjou.'

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

    In Patton's case, absolutely. He hated peace time (to the point he fell into quite a deep depression in the 1930s and another in 1945). If anything, not having allies to soften up the Germans would have just made the whole thing seem all the more glorious to him. I stood in the flag-decked...
  11. (military) technological progress without WW 2

    Not really, AFAIK, the turboprop has a big downside compared to piston engines and turbojet engines, in that it is not very flexible. It has a narrow enveloppe (speed, altitude,..) where it is very good, and if out of it's "peak performance" enveloppe, it is not really an efficient engine. In...
  12. Automotive AHC - Improve Studebaker's (and Packard's) prospects

    Not relevant to the thread though have been looking into ways Chrysler as a whole could have avoided most of its problems in some ATL, OTL Simca itself was actually an asset just that it along with the rest suffered as a result of issues from Chrysler HQ itself (though the issues at Rootes did...
  13. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    For me? Pistol and SMG - 9mm (least important) - 9mm M3, Sterling etc Assault Rifle / Carbine / Mag fed LMG - .270 Enfield (Optimised for the 0 - 300 meter battlefield) - i.e. FN FAL - Modernised L4 BREN, HBAR, G3, CETME etc MMG/GPMG/Sniper rifle - .30-06 (Belts for the Machine guns and match...
  14. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    @Geekhis Khan -- Have some ideas for DC Comics' TV shows. If you don't mind, how could we discuss them?
  15. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    agree with @CV12Hornet the auxiliary cruisers they sent out had rebuilding program to certain extent, there were over 100 of the (historical) Sperrbrecher that would not be productive to refit. my suggestion (or speculation) was they might have been outfitted similarly to the AA batteries...
  16. Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Thanks for all the comments people! I hope you all don't mind the somewhat faster pace of this update. OTL before the First Punic War Roman-Carthaginian relations were generally pretty positive, and they were briefly allied against Pyrrhus, so a Roman-Carthaginian alliance isn't entirely...
  17. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Without the French, Brits and Russians having done the heavy lifting for 3 years first?
  18. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    Not really. The Italian fleet barely managed to pull up to Ancona, slowly arm itself (by moving stuff from the smaller ships), then acquiesced to play the waiting game until they could be assured of victory; only being forced on the offensive by the fear of the central government to miss out on...
  19. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    Also worth noting the Saudi Gulf region has pretty restless minorities, being majority Shia and heavily oppressed especially post Iranian revolution - though that doesn't mean they are particularly pro-Iraq.
