  1. WI Germany breaks Typex code after Dunkirk

    Mess was not completely sorted out until mid-1943 when the British finally introduced major improvements to their naval cypher.
  2. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    There was not supposed to be more in this timeline before I decided to end it. I have ended it because I found this timeline too much with three other timelines and a story in the Alternate History Writer's Forum.
  3. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    The night Royal Oak was sunk Scarpa Flow was almost empty and the RN had dispersed I think the only other ships were HMS Belfast and a support vessel?
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    A werewolf that isn't an a beast in wolf form (the 'human' mind still has some control, not complete, but some), but everyone still thinks it is a beast. So the main character most go all shamanistic vision quest to help him understand his transformation, "To master your beastly form, first you...
  5. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    I generally agree with your points but in this specific case we are talking about expansionism at the expense of a very powerful (and pretty much only) major ally and into the territories which had nothing or very little to do with Germany geographically or culturally and had very limited...
  6. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I'm assuming that no big wars happen in the 20th century that necessitate the development of nuclear bombs. What made countries lean to bioweapons anyway? Speaking of nuclear, which forms of energy production are the most popular right now? I can imagine renewables being on top of the scene due...
  7. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Please he fucked so many people over. He´s responsible for the Resurrection of the KKK. He fucking made Japan go hostile to the west and humanity in general. Why should I have sympathy for the bastard?
  8. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Maybe a Luna War, the Soviets only need to bring some space capable AK-47s and we can have a silent shooting war.
  9. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    asked and answered But OK it was a bit pat, but the problem is the invasion of Norway is an amphibious assault you have to be able to support that from the sea, especially as you will have Norwegian navy and costal defences, the RN and MN, in these waters as well. Now no Cruisers and...
  10. WI Germany breaks Typex code after Dunkirk

    TYPEX was a cloned version of commercial Enigma, and included a reflector. The initial marks were incredibly insecure, operated in an insecure manner, and could have been broken by hand methods had the Germans put some effort into it. The version of Enigma broken by the Poles had a plugboard...
  11. What if Indian Ocean raid - carriers versus carriers

    A the British Midway thread, but this is a what if about the Indian Ocean raid and what if the 2 ore 3 British carriers and land support from Ceylon had engaged the 5 Japanese carriers, if the British had lost all 3 carriers and the Japanese 1 ore more it would effect the Battle of Midway a lot...
  12. AHQ: latest moment to reverse Celtic decline

    ...famine in Italy during the second Triumvirate) and the complete collapse of Roman authority never appeared likely even if the Roman state was being *de facto* partitioned. Thus, while it wouldn't necessarily be ASB for it to happen then, the last surefire POD to eliminate Rome as a threat to...
  13. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    List of alternative prime ministers continued: Stanley Baldwin (Conservative) 20 May 1930 to 22 June 1934 Thomas Johnston (Labour) 23 June 1934 to 27 June 1939 Thomas Johnston (Labour/Conservative/Liberal coalition) 27 June 1939 to 25 September 1939 Thomas Johnston (Labour) 25 September 1939...
  14. No Pakistan: what happens to Balochistan and the NWFP?

    Actually yes you are correct. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was pro-Congress and only started asking for Pashtunistan when he realized Pakistan was an inevitability. The Bannu Resolution of 1947 where he demanded independence or merger with Afghanistan was made after Pakistan was already a done deal...
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Ooh, how about a Rhinoceros-eque satire which uses lycanthropy as a metaphor for right wing indoctrination?
  16. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    ITTL it will take some time to sort out the details between Paramount, Roddenberry and the actors to everyone's liking. Eventually all sides benefit but not before a lot of wrangling occurs over about two years. Lego will need to upgrade their blocks a little faster than they do IRL to...
  17. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    It is absolutely the second one. The Hamersley Range in Western Australia is a 600m odd thick band of Ironstone, very close to the surface, mostly in scrubland/desert that no-one cares about. The mines there are all 'open pit' operations, as in just a massive hole in the ground and the...
  18. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    CIPEC (OPEC for copper) is commonly used as a case study of an unsuccessful cartel. I'm not intimately familiar with iron production, but I think any iron ore equivalent is likely to face the same challenges (less market power within the cartel, more elastic demand than there is for oil, less...
