    A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    My Ideas? Keep 30-06 for Battle Rifles/ LMG with the US Adopting the FAL and MG3 to keep Nato Members in the business. Assault Rifle round will be the Savage 250-3000, that's 6.5X49mm in Metric, a 6g bullet at 914m/s 2450J This will go in the Brit EM-2 SMG that will use 9mm or 45 ACP in the...
  2. WI: Miami was a major airline destination

    This. The airports divide up the travelers to the area. Eliminate FLL would have the overwhelming majority of the cruise passengers fly into MIA. Also, relocating the cruise ships to Miami instead of at Port Canaveral would boost passengers. It would also help if the MIA terminals didn’t...

    Threadmarks: Chessboard: The Splendid Isolation and British Foreign Policy

    "...the hinterland being informally aligned with the Sultan's influence; even Ripon, a skeptic of the imperial project, knew there was little informal about France's African ambitions. Nominally Ottoman territories around Lake Chad had as many Foreign Legionnaires garrisoning the oasis stations...

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

    The fact is that people forget how incompetent the Stalinist regime was early in 1942 and 1943, and that the two "competent" enemies had to claw their way across two oceans and multiple straits and channels to get ashore in the most difficult military evolutions possible and that the Wallies...

    Alternate Electoral Maps III

    I don't know enough about the subject to give feedback on the politics. I do think that, were it in the US, the UK would almost certainly be split up into 5 states at minimum - Scotland, Wales, S England, N England, Northern Ireland, and probably several others.

    South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    Though the IFP would have preferred their own monarch instead. Now, if he had made that public, that does change the equation as far as the IFP goes. Still doesn't change the intransigence of the NP, who was still the ANC's primary negotiating partner for the transition. If the NP said no to...
  8. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Thomas Boleyn‘s idiocy is monumental. Charles V was engaged to two girls still in the nursery at the same time and with a standing offer of a young woman ready for marriage and decided to do whatever he wanted aka marrying for love instead of for an alliance... Portugal will be the less offended...

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Unlike its Scottish and English Neighbors Ireland was never a united realm. When could Ireland have have unified under its own King? Or if it couldn’t do that could it have thrown off the yoke of English rule?
  10. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    Difference between Bretons and Poles is the fact, that the latter had their own state until end of 18th century, and even centry later in pre partirion areas majority of landowners and clergy were Polish speaking. Poles were not reduced to peasants and workers even in Prussia.

    Didn't some of the Eagle Squadron guys end up being labeled Premature Anti-Fascists post-war?
  12. Charles V of France dies at Poitiers

    Intetesting, so the damage of the Caroline phase is gone? Louis doesn’t use gescin as much?
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    That is perhaps true, but is interesting that as Vice Chief of the Naval Staff Phillips was instrumental in pushing for the development of support infrastructure for the FAA. He earned a pretty good reputation as a far-sighted admiral with a good vision for British Naval Airpower. Its...
  14. Charles V of France dies at Poitiers

    CaptainShadow and I discussed something similar to this recently, and I have to agree with his assessment here:

    Fringeworthy(aka Stargate before Stargate)

    So recently while looking up alt history stuff I came across this interesting RPG. Essentially the plot goes that in the near future a Japanese research team in Antarctica discovers an alien ring in the thawing ice caps. Built by an race called the Tehrmelern this gate can link to an extra...
