  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    "While all this [the first attacks lasting around an hour that crippled Prince of Wales] had been going on, Tennant waited in vain for any kind of instructions from the flagship. During a brief lull, he also had a chance to think about air cover - or more accurately the lack of it. He called the...
  2. Map Thread XX

    Why would there be separate states of Hamilton and Franklin? I think Hamilton, Erie and Franklin should be part of NY, PA and ME.
  3. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I don't have any info for WWI subs either, but German WW2 subs used St 42 or St 52, where manganese is the major alloying element. You're off by an order of magnitude, though - your US example would come out to 3, 4 and 2.5 tonnes respectively per boat. ;)

    Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    Oh this is interesting - in the absence of the World Wars of OTL, does that mean the Balfour Declaration and Statute of Westminster are averted entirely (producing, I suppose, Imperial Federation in its place).

    DBWI: Unified Britain?

    Frankly, wwhy bother? Wessex, the most populated part of the island, has always favored dealing on the channel and conquered the low countries, which also pulls it away from the rest. Scotland only gained independence from Norway after the collapse of the Empire in the 1740s, same as Irland...
  6. What if GB did a USA in WW1?

    Another poster recently asked about what if Italy joined the France Russia alliance early. I didn't respond but I did wonder if Britain would have still come to the same level of reapproachment with France and Russia as it did historically. Britain staying out and playing merchant while...
  7. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    I think thats an overestimate most mags look to be around 600g for the era also bear in the mind that the EM -2 being quoted is a re production version so weight saving less important than proof of concept and acceptance and is noted as weighing less than the EM1 at around 4,5kg with unloaded...

    Explain the AH Quote

    A line from a Canadian book entitled "The Light and Dark Continents: The History of Europe and Africa", which details the flourishing of the two continents from the anicent times, the classical age, the rise of religions like Christianity and Islam, the middle ages, age of discovery, the...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    The only good thing to come from the early deaths of the Coreys is that it prevents their careers from fall into obscurity. To be fair The Song of Susan really doesn't garner sympathy for homosexuals with AIDS but rather heterosexuals with AIDS.

    DBWI: Make the Republicans “the party of the right” and the Democrats “the party of the left”?

    You need Debbs to try and keep the SPUSA alive, as opposed to OTL where he was able to draw in a lot of votes for Teddy in 1912, leading to the latter's victory. His anglophilism and bellicosity led to him backing the Entente in the July crisis (a major reason the world war didnt start until 24...

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    It’s par of the course for Monarchs like Brian Boru.

    Basically Germany won WW1 but the SPD and the rest of the states reduce the powers of Prussia and the emperor to a strong degree.
  13. AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Yes, I know who Gaunt do not invented it, but he was the one to use it for Bolingbroke, right?

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Jeez. Of course he had to die in battle right when things were looking good.

  16. What if GB did a USA in WW1?

    If Britain is sufficently distracted for them to not enter as OTL I think the Germans have a good shot at cripeling France in 14. It may not end there but the French were Imo clearly on the backfoot and strugeled even with British manpower to hold. So if Germany can kick the French down a notch...
  17. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    For some time, I've been building and rebuilding an alternate Earth, and the map does play a part in the story of this world. Here is the blank of this alternate Earth. (Image is too big to post, even in a spoiler.) Before you ask, Greenland is still here, just rearranged so far northwards...
  18. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I doubt the acts could be passed successfully due to some serious challenges and meanwhile, the Catholic Church scandal I believe is looming and if the LGTBQ folk sees themselves in trouble, they'll counter with whatever they have. And this also may not take into account that the movement have...
  19. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I don't think that the Battle cruiser squadron would have sortied alone without the Grand Fleet steaming behind. I implied this in my post. I don't remember if that happened many times after Jutland. Specially if the RN had intelligence that the HSF was leaving port. And in a TL where the RN...
