  1. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    ...policing in a hostile territory, and without local leadership that can be persuaded to try to keep a lid on things. I don't know that they wouldn't *try* it, but I don't know that it would go well. It certainly wouldn't be easy. The other thing is that you bring a lot of Serbs into the...

    FYI : about Ludwig Beck on "East First 1914"

    UK won't care for France cutting thru that corner of Belgium with 5th Army. And an attack with Lanrezac in charge? :rolleyes:
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    So, that's what they meant, back in WW1, by "male tank", right?
  4. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_%26_Friends "I love you, you love me...wel-come to in-san-i-ty..."

    It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    They would tbh. This version of Barbarossa would start with absolutely zero chance of strategic surprise. It would run into the teeth of the Stalin line, rather than a half-finished Molotov line, making the colossal encirclements of OTL impossible. There is no stockpile of grain and oil as...
  6. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    And no other warships can substitute for them ? forgive me for being persistent here but I feel that Norwegian navy was not a huge threat to justify so many modern ships and RN when it did show up to fight like torpedoing of Karlsruhe , sinking of koeingsberg and battles of Narvik won them...
  7. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method Sometimes it just seems like only one side gets the limelight or better treatment. Sometimes it actually *is*. And if a bit of grumpy is the worst thing either of us deal with today then call it blessed and keep rollin'.
  8. An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    A state where a supreme autocrat is the individual allowed to express himself with no restrictions, which necessarily means that everyone else. "No free will, only my will." This could be some absolute monarch who read too much Nietzsche and has decided he's going to be the ubermensch. Of course...
  9. FRG withdraws from NATO

    Yeah but that is different than West Germany suddenly deciding to unilaterally leave NATO.
  10. Surviving Durrani Empire

    Anyway the Durrani Empire could survive and retain at least Afghanistan and Pakistan. Would a Surviving Durrani Empire become a British protectorate or fall under British influence.
  11. FRG withdraws from NATO

    The US, UK and France deciding to unilaterally dissolve West Germany seems highly unlikely to me. It also seems unlikely to me that the US, France and UK would automatically promptly pack up and go home. I suspect if there was an "out of the blue" decision by a FRG Government to leave NATO at...
  12. Alternate warships of nations

    How would you model treaty cheating?
  13. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    I think the ratios cited in your original source were a bit extreme in favor of the Soviets. And my concerns cut to the German numbers to a lesser extent as well for the reasons you mention. Just glad none of us have to be there.
  14. Have the Triumph TR-7 be as successful as possible

    I'm no fan of the TR7/TR8, but the TR6 doesn't inspire raves, either. I much prefer the Spitfire. Putting a twist on the MGB would be my go-to, if Triumph (or Michelotti) could get away with it. Or a twist on the 246 Dino. :cool::cool: Failing that, closer to the 240Z or E-type (shorter...
  15. Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    The best TL has returned. I really hope the Entente is going to win, because the idea of Italy being on the losing side, while being a CP member has not been explored that much. I am really interested in what peace treaty the Entente would impose on Italy.
  16. AHC: No Zoroastrianism (POD of 600 BC)

    If we look at the houses; they did not agree on who to patronage but their honored all the same pantheon most likely. Mihr could become a majority position, but I think even the urban iranian population will not reach 100% consensus. I could see it evolve into something like Hinduism, where...
  17. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Hence David Flin's one man invasion of the USSR as detailed in the "Ulster's Tragedy " (sic) thread.
  18. Roger Redux

    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Fair enough; it was the codename for in in-house OS they were working on for their cancelled 16-bit PCs IOTL, but given that Paramount is going all-in on their mountain logo for naming conventions I can see where you're coming from. Ya know...I kinda like that! There actually was one, didn't...
  19. Alternate names for Pakistan

    What could be some alternate names for Pakistan.
  20. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    Well, it was both heavier and faster than the Swordfish. It’s not much to go on but assuming similar flight equipment and profile it would need more runway.
