  1. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    But that’s also what the HSF was always hoping for - one squadron of Royal Navy battleships away from the others. Jutland had touch-and-go points for both sides but the Run to the North was an uncomfortable time for the 5th battle squadron. Plus tying the battlecruisers to the 23/24 knot QEs...

    I was talking about the Zaras.

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    Maybe Toulouse or Reims? Djoin perhaps?
  4. A couple WIs regarding the Boxer Rebellion

    1) If the Qing attempted to support the Philippine Republic then the USN would sink their ships and cut off any land forces. Besides, why would the Qing want to pick a fight with the USA.? They have already have beefs with the British Empire, Japan and Russia who were already chipping at the...

    DBWI: Unified Britain?

    A united Britain is borderline ASB IMO. The Welsh and Irish are to anti-Anglo-Saxon to agree to be ruled by one of them and vice versa. Scotland has pretty much always been a de-facto vassal of Norway too. It’s too big of a stretch to work without a POD in the Roman Era.

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Hmmm, that does make sense, and I do like the connection. I do think I will be keeping it as Fengtian though, I know it doesn't necessarily match the standard of past regimes, but if you look at the sort of stuff Yuan Shikai was attempting, he was also breaking with a lot of precedents, so it...
  8. DBWI: Unified Britain?

    Perhaps if William the Conqueror hadn't died from an illness, he might be able to get a decent grasp on at least southern Britain? I know he had a lot of potential to be the next "warrior-king" back in the medieval era.
  9. WI: Apollo 13 becomes the most expensive suborbital flight in history?

    Had it been any other engine it would have been much worse: asymmetric thrust so the rocket would have started spinning out of control.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Uh oh. Looks like this ain’t gonna go well for Catherine. She is set to be the biggest loser of this arrangement. Great update!
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    IIRC Phillips didn't break radio silence even after he knew he had been spotted and not until after PoW took the crippling hit, even then only calling for tugs! Middleton worked out that if he had called for air cover once sighted it would have arrived after the bomb hit on Repulse but before...
  12. WI: Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar dies in 1792

    Might we also see Persia transitioning away from absolutism early into a full constitutional monarchy? That would be interesting and plausible. Perhaps the gulf focus might prompt them to acquire a strong navy. If it becomes a "great power" in the full sense of the word, it might have similar...

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Ah yes, cuz we all know logically speaking the 3rd Duke was going to push his claim after he saw his Father get executed? Cool. I meant after the mess beforehand and how shaky that period was for Henry VI it’s a bit meaningless. You mentioned the whole Royal Duke issue beforehand and I think...
  14. AHC: Craft a post-Napoleanic France with survivable nations detached from it

    As in post 1815 borders? Corsica, Alsace-Lorraine, or a tiny micro state comparable to Andorra or Monaco. Ancient duchies or regions like Brittany/Picardie/Burgundy/Aquitaine/Normandy as independent states would be too artificial most likely.
  15. DBWI: Unified Britain?

    It may seem a bit far fetched, knowing the tumultuous history of the island, but is there any chance that Great Britain could be an independent unified state, and if so, how could they change history? Right now it is hard to imagine Britain as anything different than it currently is. The three...

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

    Engines, fuel efficacy (and the associated chemistry) and the engineers /. designers, as in the lack thereof: ARE some of the missed tech and weapons opportunities, one has mentioned. (^^^)
  17. El principe de hierro - A Napoleonic tale
    Threadmarks: 17. The turning point (1809-1812)

    17. The turning point (1809-1812) In 1809, just as Napoleon's star was in its zenith, an event marked the beginning of the downfall of the Emperor. It began just as the Austrian Army led by Archduke Karl withdrew towards Galitzia with the French on their heels. the Russain Army crossed into...

    Would've CSA change their national flag to the Battle flag post-victory?

    (Disclaimer: I do not support racism in any form. This is merely a hypothetically question. Be respectful, and don't say any racial slurs or ideas.) A popular misconception in the modern day is that this flag was the national flag used by the Confederate States of America: This was not the...
