  1. The Empire Parnell Built

    An interesting question. They're not really sports I follow closely so I might have to do more research before I respond in any more detail but I'd imagine the preeminent competitions will remain F1, MotoGP and NASCAR. More or less, in the sense that the structure will be roughly the same (i.e...

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    True, actually. Maybe Duke of Dorset?
  3. WI Germany breaks Typex code after Dunkirk

    Yes it came hand in hand with the education of officers and NCOs (it takes 3 years for Britain to build and educate a continental army and so it proved) With regards to Brook and Winston - I doubt that Op Sec would be something they would have written about ibn their life time - Enigma and the...
  4. What if Indian Ocean raid - carriers versus carriers

    Theres a three run last week that touched on this. 1. Sommerville understood the risks & potirntal of the IJN carrier air wings 2. Sommerville prepared and positioned his fleet for a night air strike. This took advantage of British training and experience at night air attacks, radar, and...

    Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    Well, a Portuguese settlement in the Cape would, IMO, change radically the OTL Portuguese expansion and colonial rule in what, OTL, would be the Portuguese East Africa and specifically that the many walled outposts and factories probably would be ruled and garrisoned from the Cape. Also, I...

    Alternate warships of nations

    This game sounds a lot like Wesworld. I don’t know if their forum is still up for anybody who wants a look.

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

    I get the feeling that this Esad guy would be executed... and buried in an unmarked grave.
  8. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Not for the Imperial elections, Reichstag was universal male suffrage.
  9. Possible Alternate Jet engine pre-WWII

    His ideas were very different. Before Power Jets was nationalized in OTL he was proposing that the government nationalize the entire British Aero Engine Industry into a single entity with himself in charge. He did not seem to lack for confidence.
  10. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    Hopefully Mary and Charles do end up marrying here, as the Henry-Eleanor match may help secure it...
  11. Possible Alternate Jet engine pre-WWII

    Found it! https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/1910-coanda-1-first-jet-aircraft.7764/page-1 On rereading I was too harsh. The Coanda did use a jet principle, but whether it can be called a jet depends on your definition. Probably the best description in the discussion was that it was an...

    The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Hmm, well, I don’t blame the highlanders for being concerned by the English activity in Ireland. But if this goes on it is definitely going to widen the rift between England and Scotland.
  13. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I doubt the show is going to have a war between the soviets and US. The most I can see happening is small skirmishes, proxies, shit flinging, but no WW3. That would end the space program quick.
  14. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    The F-boats were an unnecessary idea done very badly. It was unnecessary because they had M-boats that could do most of the jobs just as well if not better and they had the Type 1923, 1924 & 1939 small destroyers that could do the other jobs better. IIRC they did have a project for a K-boat...

    Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    from that page The plan took shape at the start of the summer, when a Pentagon consultant named William W. Kaufmann, another Rand strategist, learned some startling news about the Soviet nuclear arsenal. Since the year before, the supersecret Discoverer spy satellites had been taking thousands...
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    This is approximately where HMS Juniper and MV Oil Pioneer were sunk
  17. WI Germany breaks Typex code after Dunkirk

    There appears to have been a full on effort from late 1941 thru 1942 to straighten out that mess. Not clear on the big picture for that. Don't recall a mention i Brooks diary, or of course Churchills history.

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

    Sorry, I had missed this. Autobahns and other such civilian work creation programmes had been put on the backburner as early as December 1933. That is how early in the regime priorities shifted away from the civilian economy and to military preparations for a new world war. This in part...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Mary is truly stupid if she thinks that she can go on behaving like this. Henry is not a fool, nor is he patient. She better hope that she has a healthy son before her time runs out.
