  1. Fremontian Fracas: An Earlier American Civil War

    The premise is impossible. Frémont needs 35 more electoral votes, and CA, IL, and IN have only 28. To win, he must carry PA, which OTL he lost 50%-32%, and which is Buchanan's home state.

    Alternate warships of nations

    Foreign 20.3 cm bore diameter shells. The Americans knew Class A plate with 40% deep face-hardening was barely proof, but... MIDVALE UNBREAKABLE discussion? This is one of those... "I dunno, Howie. The test results just might indicate the reverse?"

    A Map Shitpost Thread

    Besides the low quality, germany being owned by Baden, Polish Austria, Russian Slovenia, the Persian Gulf being missing, and the watermark its a good map. EDIT: Here’s a shitpost?
  5. The History of the Restored Portugal, the Brigantine Dynasty.

    Of course, later Portuguese takeover is good enough too.
  6. The History of the Restored Portugal, the Brigantine Dynasty.

    I think that even a small colony, a few ships and a 100-200 people is enough, just to show the Dutch that the area is occupied.
  7. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    Fish and fresh water is way better than nothing. Whaling maybe?
  8. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    All that morale gets you nowhere if you're outnumbered 3:1 to 10:1 (exact number depends if you're talking about men, tanks, airplanes or whatever). You can't deny Nazi-Germany had plenty of willpower. They managed to fight on about 4-8 months after they had already lost.

    Threadmarks: "Stalemate on the Black Sea", - 30th August 1683

    "The Tartars were more vicious than usual in attemtping to prevent us crossing their frontier. They had plenty of prangis to block our entry. Alone, the prangis may not he such a threat. But the Tartars use them in such a manner that if they see us coming, then the prangis spit out their lead...
  10. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    The war was insanely costly to the US military for five reasons: - it massively ate into budgets obviously - it weakened the US economy which likely led to poorer performance in the 70s - it forced production of some equipment to be increased to replace losses and increase the size of some...
  11. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    looking at the table from Ballistics by the Inch for a 9mm Luger round firing SMG depending on the actual cartridge load chosen a barrel length of around 9 to 12 inches would appear to be an appropriate compromise between the three factors of, bullet velocity, weapon weight and length. YMMV...

    Map Thread XX

    ^That pretty much depends on the circumstances. I'm not too familiar with the state of Saxony of that time period, but I can see both happening. The 1st option slightly more so, as there you don't get artificial partitions of existing realms.
  13. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    Well actually yes, it was all Willy II. In the OTL Russia and Germany had no major conflicting interests between 1870-1890. Russia had long had interests in the Balkans that conflicted with AH, but Germany could have cared less about the Balkans. Their interests there we economic, and Russia...

  15. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    This has got to be the first time that I see the argument that the allies won because their propaganda was better. Usually the main reason is that Germany tried to fight three/four big powers on its own, thus being heavily outnumbered and outproduced. Which is also the main reason why most of...

    So a temporary cession of sovereignty for the duration of war, not a permanent unification

    WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    So, King George VI and his two daughters both die? The crown goes to Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. He'd be popular enough given the tragedy, his ties to the Commonwealth, and his military past in the postwar era. But as in OTL he's probably in very poor health by the late 1960s and dead in...
  19. What material were key to Germany defeat ww2

    Apart from oil I'd suggest 'strategic' metals, the sort of things needed to make fancy alloys for jet engines, armour, projectiles and the like. Germany can't compete on quantity so has to compete on quality, but it's hard to generate hundreds of jet sorties a day when the engines are crappy...
  20. WI: 9th Army retreats to Berlin

    Yeah there were a few who felt Berlins western defence against the advancing wallies was were they really should be.
