    Hehehehehehehe. Oh God yeah. Offer the right chunks of the Pacific and Asia and the Japanese will be all over that.
  2. Explain the AH Quote

    A line from historian sir jeremy clarkson on his tv show "Top History with clarkson,hammond and may". The event that caused the collapse of said empire is because the intervention of concert of europe nation after its leader agreed to support napoleon and switch side to support the french...

    Threadmarks: Prince Napoleon-Jerome, Regent of France

    Napoleon-Jerome Bonaparte was one of the most controversial figures in French history. On one hand, he remembered as a person., who give France liberty and restore French democracy after 15 years ot the authoritarian Napoleon III rule. But there was one problem – his activities as Regent lead to...
  4. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Point taken about their age. Which makes me think that they'd work better as junior Eagle pilots under Nick Tate's Alan Carter because he was one of the few likeable characters in the OTL series.
  5. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    One more wikibox from my Decembrist Victory TL Napoleon-Jerome Bonaparte was one of the most controversial figures in French history. On one hand, he remembered as a person., who give France liberty and restore French democracy after 15 years ot the authoritarian Napoleon III rule. But there...
  6. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Core issue with a steam-powered prime mover: how do the Germans build it? It's not like they had a major surplus in their automotive industry. IMO, the same issue hits most (not all, but most) German technical PODs: the Germans are working out of a very limited resource pool compared to their...
  7. WI Germany breaks Typex code after Dunkirk

    The earliest Polish Bombys with a single axle were checking one or two settings per second. The last of the multi bank machines had the rotors turning at speed to check over 100 settings per second.

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Ok, this I can speak on. Gardaí today learned a lot of lessons that wouldn't be around in the 70's. Hell the old story about a detective tripping on the way into a shop and dumping an Uzi mag in the ceiling comes to mind. And I still wouldn't trust the majority of Armed Response with a hot...
  9. Exploration without Christianity

    In paganism this monotheistic either/or are very rare, syncretism being the SOP, so you most likely end up with something like IVPITER-VVODANVS, the Allfather, residing on Olympus-Valhalla (who sacrificed one eye to not only gain wisdom, but so that he could use it to spy on beautiful mortal...
  10. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    What exhaustion? There are no fronts. There is barely any fighting going on - Depending on when hitler dies, this might even be pre-BoB, at that point the British public were not really behind the war, and it's going to be very hard to motivate them to engage in total war, to fight and enemy...
  11. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Perhaps an alternative way of making Space 1999 more successful and better would be for the world generally to have been a little more interested in space and a little more scientifically literate in the 70s? For All Mankind, the (only?) alternate history TV series currently showing, is set in...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Why hello there sir. I was wondering what the price for the hat of that totally honest and devastatingly handsome man in the background would be?
  13. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Larson wouldn't necessarily guarantee success, considering the short runs of BSG and Buck Rogers. But he was very successful elsewhere so maybe he'd smash it here? As has already been pointed out, such a move might make 1999 more successful, if not necessarily better. They'd certainly have...
  14. Worst presidents that never were

    I'm more of a Libertarian with some Conservative-leaning on economics and I agree with you Taft would have been a fucking disaster as President.
  15. Map Thread XX

    Good point about a the United Kingdom thing. I think you're right that a confederation of different kingdoms is more likely than a truly united kingdom, as I had previously considered. The main motivation of the union, as I see it, is to counterbalance Prussian and Austrian power. A "strength...
  16. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    AFAIK the Kriegsmarine was quite good at protecting Germany's coastal shipping (all the way from Norway from Spain) for the first two-thirds of the war IOTL. More ships would have been helpful but they didn't need more designs because the designs that they had were fit for purpose and if...
  17. The Professor

    An Arthurian Empire of Britannia discussion

    Were either of them ever in a position to be recognised as commander of all Roman Britain?
  18. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Sorry, but this cannot pass without comment. Look at MacA's record (and his very patronising 'affection' for 'his small brown brothers' ) in the Philippines pre WW2 and his Viceroy's status in occupied Japan. He's definitely a supporter of 'Take up the white man's burden'
  19. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    That's a quite specific denial, but I think you're trustworthy. Definitely nothing fishy here
