  1. The World of Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies

    Hey Eckener, I was wondering if you'd be interested in covering the fate of Lawrence Welk in the ItPoME world? He seems the type of person that the Germans would like in the post-WWIII order of things.
  2. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    Yep.. Windage at longer ranges is also likely to be an issue for typical pistol based SMG's at longer ranges.
  3. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I suppose that's one reason to be sympathetic for the Collabs then. Crushing that little October uprising before the horrors that would've been entailed were enacted on.
  4. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    I think it’s still pretty implausible. There’s no serious thought to ban people from certain backgrounds running for office OTL even despite current circumstances. Short of Mac starting a WWIII/a nuclear war or trying to reintroduce slavery it just doesn’t seem likely. Worst case scenario is Mac...
  5. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    As already noted the role of the submachinegun largely fell to assault rifles after WWII. While spec ops units still use outstanding examples like the MP5 et al, whichever gun selected needs to be (a) rugged, (b) reliable, (c) reasonably priced, (d) retains at least one unique trait that helps...

    Richard II dies in 1399

    But if Henry IV comes to the throne in a less disputed way couldn't that butterfly away the WOTR?

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Good question In ww2 the Irish army were using wooden boxes of gelignite as anti-tank mines and had a bad accident in the glen of imaal with one https://www.historyireland.com/volume-27/the-glen-of-imaal-disaster-1941%EF%BB%BF/
  8. Richard II dies in 1399

    I don't think much really changes here, tbh. Bolingbroke and Arundel will have already left for England before the news of Richard's death can reach them. Mortimer's claim is an unserious one -- literally no one wants a child king after Richard and there's no record that anyone pressed the...

    What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    The obvius answers is the Owen gun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_gun this think is magnificent and used without changes until the Vietnam war

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    So 1953 was a communist uprising, eh? I didn't know that.
  12. Alternate warships of nations

    Admittedly it was their first modern steel "battleships" and the USN had more or less almost completely missed the design trends and developments of between 1865 and the "New Steel Navy". And even the ACW designs tended more towards being coastal/riverine affairs rather then sea going warships...

    WI: No Molotov-Ribbentrop

    This was an excellent write-up, I wonder what Europe would look like after the dust has cleared.

    Flag of Arstotzka. CoA too big, even when i resized it to 850px.
  15. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    It's not the personnel (though I have doubts about some) it is thing like "No criticism of the President was to ever reach his ears.", freezing out his cabinet and the complete lack of any discussion or feedback. Deliberately creating an environment where no-one can question the President or...
  16. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Since John Foster Dulles has been shuffled off to the sidelines, will his brother Allen suffer the same fate? Allen was Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1952, and of course became Director after Eisenhower was elected. Now thay Willoughby has the top job at CIA, what will...

  18. Bush Presidency without Cheney?

    His second choice was actually John Danforth, IIRC. I would imagine his Presidency would change significantly.
  19. WI: Tupac Amaru II captures Cuzco, Spanish possessions in the Americas collapse decades earlier?

    Chile at this time was only the central part of the country, the north and south were annexed much later. Both the elite and the majority of the population were criollos. The chances of this region being annexed to a indian controlled Peru are few, and in the very odd chance they achieve this it...

    Wall Street must be freaking out over LaFollette at Treasury.
