  1. TL-191: After the End

    In 2021, the Armenian Genocide is a subject taught in the US public education system. Unfortunately, the US government did not officially acknowledge and begin commemorating the Armenian Genocide until TTL’s 1980s, under the Reynolds administration. - The Austro-Hungarian measures during the...
  2. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    In France given you have both landings in the North and South at the same time. What is the allied battle plan compared to OTL? Will it be a Hammer and Anvil drive halfway across France to try and trap parts of the German army in a Kesselschlacht? Or will it be a race to Paris and then...
  3. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    I could see it surviving with its orthodox ways if it doubled down on its authoritarianism, but becoming a pleasant place? Nah, the centrally planned economy, excessive focus on heavy industry, lack of accountability and inevitable ecological disasters (the draining of the Aral Sea, for example)...
  4. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    If we're going to make the optimal SMG why not draw from historical examples to improve upon? What did they do well? What did they not do well? Point noted, but why neck down the 7.62 x 25mm cartridge? To get the desired effects it's still among the best cartridges available.
  5. WI: Free Italy - a.k.a. Kingdom of Italy in exile as an Allied nation

    the problem for Germany are his allies, France army will lack almost everything in term of heavy equipment, Hitler can't give it back to them as it's vital to Barbarossa and the invasion of Italy (Nazi war effort was an enourmous Ponzi scheme). Sure the french can try to build them but as OTL...
  6. The New Kratocracy: A Boulanger Coup TL

    It's always nice to see a chapter, I'm glad you found your taste for writing again I'm not sure if I can be convinced to see Portugal give up Southern Mozambique in that bargain, it was always the better developed and wealthier part. Just a thought though

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

    The most Lynch would do is blankets and tents etc. Standard Irish policy on these matters is to refer the matter to the UN.
  8. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    By definition they are guesswork. Something is worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. There is no way of knowing that outside of knowing by magic what price it would have been to clear the market. If you don't know that you don't know what it is worth. Since the price was set by the...
  9. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    Thoughts: Use a Russian 7.62 x 25mm round. Have 25 round stick magazines, 50 round drum magazines, and a 75-to-100 round Big Drum magazine. Have either single fire or a rate of fire such that single fire is realistic with a quick trigger pull. Mechanically, keep it simple - open bolt, simple...
  10. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    ?? Winchester's gun was in production & use, Burton's weapon remained in prototype stage. For the Italians and perhaps Japanese: 6.5mm x 25, ie. the 7.62x25 necked down? Barrel-making should be easier than going for 9mm. Ammo fired by a simple blowback SMG.
