  1. Alternate warships of nations

    Total cost since things like machinery,guns,turrets, fire control systems and directors, and armor are the real bottlenecks in how much you can build not regular steel and they cost a whole lot more
  2. Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    Likewise, I think the advantages of an unconditional surrender to the Allies are fairly apparent vs an invasion (bloodbath). If however the Japanese try to negotiate the surrender over the status of the Emperor, etc., this gets more interesting
  3. Dunkirk Disaster causes Japan to attack Britain in December 1940

    I thought Pervitin abuse was a thing of the past?
  4. Henry Tudor, Heretic and Father of Kings

    Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    Ah, CalBear. I think OP is discussing about Operation Downfall, the planned invasion of Japan by the US, and a planned Soviet invasion of Hokkaido. Wonder how this would go.
  6. earlier scientific revolution?

    Steam engine itself was not ready for usage. A useful steam engine requires knowledge of physics and metallurgy that did not exist in Ancient times. With disappearance of the Milesian school we lose the most promising scientific school of thought before Early modern times. How do we make one...
  7. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    I doubt you'd see revancism in the style of OTL Nazi Germany: ie trying to take back the territory. France would have lost two major wars in a row to Germany, so I don't think they'd be clamoring for number 3. As for internal strife. That's absolutely plausible, but I doubt a civil war would...
  8. 2018 Presidential Election

    Some people think President DW Newman and the Duke of Edinburgh looked similar, personally I don't see it myself. ;) The Duke of Edinburgh in 1997 President DW Newman at the 1998 Democratic convention
  9. Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    I don’t think you phrased this right. Unconditional surrender is unconditional, why would they refuse it? I think you mean they refuse peace because Japan demands emperor to stay on as a figurehead.
  10. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    While I have absolutely no problem with PC in modern life and fully believe that racism and prejudice and bigotry etc are the refuge of the weak minded and the truly ignorant - but when we are trying to be historically accurate I am with the great George McDonald Fraser who as many of you know...
  11. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    Desert Sand is certainly different and a lot less angular, so it produces different concrete. Traditionally that was enough for everyone not to bother and just use marine sands instead, but now the easily accessible deposits are running out people have been looking at desert sand again. There's...
  12. Dunkirk Disaster causes Japan to attack Britain in December 1940

    You are right at "gee this is totally trolling". You WILL cut this BS out. One way or another.
  13. Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    Japan has badly missed the boat; if they've waited so long to enter the war, then all of Germany's islands in the Pacific will have been snapped up by Australia and New Zealand. There's no way they waited around for the IJN to get its act together- that means that Japan has now honoured its...

    Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    I just read that Vasilevskiy had only been conscripted by the Bolsheviks, and really didn't do all the much with them until the Polish-Soviet War in 1919.

  17. Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    What is better than Unconditional Surrender? The Chance to kill a few million Japanese civilians, a few tens of million of civilians across Japanese occupied Asia, and a few hundred thousand American troops? Only way this happens is if the POTUS is Ernst Stavos Blofeld and the damned white cat...

    Isn't Italy the cradle of fascism? Also, we're talking Operation Downfall here.
