  1. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    How about something that is SMG-friendly, or pistol-friendly? The EM-2 was at 3.4 kg - empty? Add almost 1kg for a full magazine, and we're at 4.4 kg, or about 10 lbs. The 'new-age' carbine or SMG could still offer an useful firepower, but in a smaller/shorter package and lower weight. The M2A1...

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Yes, but in my TL he will be executed becuase you know
  3. South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    I've never heard of this before. If South Africa wanted a monarchy wouldn't the logical thing be to seek the King of Lesotho become monarch?
  4. What if Indian Ocean raid - carriers versus carriers

    Mathematically there are a lot of options. Operating and readiness considerations direct Yamamoto, & his staff, to a more limited group of practical combinations. Wats not bee considered yet is the morale factor. The RN night attack techniques were something the Japanese were unaware of &...

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    No, the exclusion's legality is disputed, which means Tudor had a right to the throne depending which side of the debate you are on.

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Yes, but Henry Tudor had no right to that throne

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    ...of the act that excluded them is disputed and in any case Philippa's descendants also can't inherit the throne as Edward III passed an act that forbade people born outside of England from inheriting the throne*. *Exceptions were made for those who's parents were subjects of the English Kings.
  8. South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    An interesting area totally out of my knowledge so just some questions: 1. Would bringing back the monarchy seriously piss off the Afrikaaners? And therefore needlessly endanger the democratisation process? 2. Would a return to the monarchy need to have a stronger, more politically meaningful...
  9. Automotive AHC - Improve Studebaker's (and Packard's) prospects

    Peugeot at the time were also renowned for building reliable and hardy cars clothed in Pininfarina styling, butterflying Peugeot being forced by the French government to buy both Citroen and Chrysler Europe IOTL during the 1970s would have also helped. Volvo IOTL were said to have been planning...
  10. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Do you mean more like Into Infinity/The Day After Tomorrow? If the stories are true the best way to make Space more interested in space and a little more scientifically literate would be for the Andersons and Reg Hill to ignore ITC's New York Office. They get the blame for the Bug Eyed Monsters...

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    So if Henry IV really excluded the Beauforts in the succession means that Henry Tudor had no right to that throne and the throne should have pass to the descendents of Philippa of Lancaster oldest daughter of Gaunt and Henry Bolingbroke full sister
  12. What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    I don't really see it happening. The United States started the Cold War in a massively superior position, and with the benefit of hindsight, a better model for long-term growth and stability. You can, with difficulty, make the USSR stronger (in particular, a less-successful Barbarossa or...

    Are you going to make this an official TL?
  14. Worst presidents that never were

    If he was elected before 1860 it would have done so anyway.

    South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    Apparently this was given extreme serious thought but was dropped so as to not hurt the status quo. The Blacks, and Anglo population of SA was extremely in favor of the monarchy otl, which Mandela back in 1961 even calling the republic an unwanted one. So what if in 1994 when South Africa...
  16. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    Pigs will fly first but as I say I am not sure why the death of Prince Philip is the catalyst you are seeking for this. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh largely lived separately since 2017 (aside from holidays) when the Duke retired to Sandringham and set up his own household. They were brought...

    ITTL there are even more Jews from Russia in Poland, but they will quickly learn to speak proper Yiddish. Russian is not a language you want to be heard speaking in public for many years after 1908.
