    Germany builds another battleship instead of Graf Zeppelin

    The Baltic (especially the Gulf of Finland) became minefield central. It'd be hard to force any major surface action, let alone a truely decisive battle.

    The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Of course. They get too obtrusive with their raiding and henry's gonna rain hellfire on them (and probably as much of scotland as he can too since he'll almost certainly assume that james was in on it and just being a lying bastard)
  3. What Would A Surviving Russian Republic Look Like?

    Let's say the republic leaves WW1 and successfully averts the civil war. How would it develop? I'm pretty sure it would still be socialist, but not full scale communist. Would it be successful in further industrializing? Oh, and let's say the Nazis in Germany and fascists in Italy still rise...

    Dunkirk Disaster causes Japan to attack Britain in December 1940

    WTF? 5 WW2 PODs in a span of 3 weeks? This guy is seriously going the same lane as ebb2k98, who posted the same thread with the same intro message various times in the same month...
  5. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    The threat wasn't NORWAY. The threat to the German action was the Royal Navy. Speed was called for. Destroyers are fast, heavily armed for their size, and, as has been pointed out repeatedly, pawn on the Naval War chessboard. WW II Destroyers are NOT major warships. Even Great Powers don't...

    Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    It could send battleships there but the British ports had insufficient logistical support for the RN itself I doubt it would be able to accommodate the Japanese warships.
  7. Count of Crisco

    Alternate warships of nations

    If I recall correctly the British and Americans were aware to varying degrees of cheating in the Italian and Japanese navies. But decided to ignore them as the margins were not so great that the ships were superior to their own ships.
  8. Germany builds another battleship instead of Graf Zeppelin

    What about keeping it in the Baltic and forming a squadron around it and aggressively going after the Baltic red banner fleet I mean even though the Soviet heavy ships were blockaded they still were able to contribute to the defense of Leningrad if they could be lured out into the sea and sunk...
  9. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    Okay, so they're not likely to go to war again. What would be the new focus of the nation? I can imagine the left going against nationalism and towards internationalist revolution, and the right blaming parliamentarianism and loss of Catholic faith for the defeat.

    Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    Kongo class in the Grand Fleet/Battlecruiser Fleet wouldn't really be "Japan projecting power to the North Sea". They would be using British infrastructure and operating as part of larger British formations.
  11. AHC/WI: President Nixon, VP Kennedy, 1957

    A few notes: 1. If Eisenhower succumbed to his heart attack so close to the election day (for reference, Kennedy was assassinated around the same time before the election), I'm more inclined to think people will be sympathetic to Nixon -- especially when one considers that Ike, all things...
  12. Anybody else read Summerland?

    I just finished Hannu Rajaniemi's Summerland and was curious if anybody else had read it? It's an alternate history spy thriller about the hunt for a Soviet mole hidden high up in the British espionage establishment, with only one problem: he's already dead, which is going to make catching him a...
  13. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    Would they be able to recover their revanchist spirit? I'd expect the left to move in a more pacifist direction. Could the commies actually take power in France? Much of the French left were "democratic socialists," not the type to start revolutions, and a good chunk of the population and the...
  14. Germany builds another battleship instead of Graf Zeppelin

    Another operational Battleship by January 42 is interesting. You could keep the S+G in Brest, as a fleet in being threat, and the new Battleship plus Tirpitz could be in Norway as a fleet in being. The 4 fast Battleship threat, ties down alot of Allied ships to counter. The S+G at the very...
  15. Battle Royale: The Last Generation Of An SNES-CD Saga

    1. I don't know, I'm just a reader. 2. I don't know. 3. I hope EA is dead ITTL. However @RySenkari and @Nivek would be the ones to ask. 4. I don't know. I hope it is less prone to editing by editors with agendas ITTL. although considering that #GamerGate and whatnot weren't as prominent ITTL...
  16. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Yes bremse Brummer and TB are fine No panzerschiffe at all as they are Essentially upgunned cruisers focus is on improving submarine torpedoes and mine warfare There were some training ships that were left over from the World War I era and also some captured ships after the fall of France and...
  17. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    What about long-term? Like in the '30's maybe?
  18. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Well, it didn't occur to me until I read that Tiffany Disney has Asperger's.
  19. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    Videos of ships getting scrapped by thousands of men armed with nothing more then crowbars, sledge hammers, and maybe cutting torches are pretty astounding. If their sped up it's almost like say ant's scrapping a carcass. Truly astounding.
  20. Dunkirk Disaster causes Japan to attack Britain in December 1940

    The poster had gone to the well FOUR times trying to construct a scenario that created a Reich Victory condition using increasingly unlikely idea At some point it stops being humorous and starts being trolling. It has reached that point.
