Anyway, I do have to ask, have tanks been introduced yet? I know that they weren't during TTL Great War, but given that Germany is now involved in two major and bloody conflicts with trench warfare that the idea and development of an armored breakthrough vehicle should be floating around.

There really isn’t much that a cruiser can do in a couple thousand tons or a destroyer to do in a few hundred tons that couldn’t be countered by a compliant ship using better tactics or equipment. Zara may have been the most balanced cruiser of the treaty era until Wichita, but 2000 tons wasn’t...
An early treatise on venereal diseases written in 1799 by Wolfgang Richtofen, an Austrian physician. Noteworthy for being one of the first major academic works to propose the theory of comorbidity and cite examples of it, most notably incidents of dementia in late stage syphilis patients.

Hmm locally made mortars and artillery this can be only good although i wonder if greece can manufacture the EPK machine gun or something like that in the near future
Short answer no. Shōkaku was damaged in the Battle of the Coral Sea and entered the Kure Drydocks May 17 and repairs didn’t finish till June 16. Then you have the aircraft and air crew casualties. Because unlike the US Navy, the carrier’s air group is considered a part of the ship and not...
Yes, I don’t want to white wash that at all. At the same time, individual stories about people who have already gong through a lot of shit in Russia already (Guy has been in Russia for a good decade by now) and the like can do some charecter growth for a interesting perspective on things. One...
I am considering development of field artillery for my AAU army into the 1920s. Currently, divisional artillery includes three battalions of field guns at one battalion of field howitzers. The field guns are 9 cm pieces, comparable to a British 18-pdr, and the field howitzers are 12 cm pieces...
The Mackensens were good designs that would've handed any British battlecruiser their ass one-on-one, but it's not one-on-one. British superiority in dreadnoughts matters far more than the superiority in battlecruisers the Germans would have enjoyed.
Jack Lewis's humorous account of the deciphering of Linear B script told in the style of classical heroic literature. Originally a private joke among the linguists and historians it was accidentally released to a journalist. Thereafter almost every linguistic book on Linear B would include a...
Since the Soviet Union and the Warsaw pact still exists, That means Romania is still a communist state. Would the movie Borat (the first) still take place in Romania? Or in other locations/countries? Can westerners go to Warsaw pact nations and shoot films?
Honestly, I was speculating to myself somewhat that he may take the hands off approach as he focuses more on Asia and the Pacific. I suppose I could see it both ways though.
Stanier remained at the GWR? Bad news for the LMS with no Black 5s, 8Fs, Jubilees, Princesses or Coronations.

My ideas for NFL team names: Jamaica Redbills, Washington Federals, Portland Breakers, Las Vegas Rollers. Seriously, what's wrong with the Ottawa Roughriders?
