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

    Nice work. The Ulster Special Constabulary (B-Specials) I think would go with the UDI. There is also the UDR too who would side with UDI too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Defence_Regiment Some units of the British army that recruited in the republic of Ireland at the time might not be...
  2. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Thank you very much, I have a lot of fun writing the speeches in particular.
  3. AHQ: Royal Navy carrier strike on Wilhelmshaven, 1939

    RAF control of the FAA was a disaster for the RN, but not necessarily because of particular malice on the part of the RAF. It was more down to the nature of the system. In WW1 the Navy had had it's own budget, a strong core of technically competent officers and well established relationships...
  4. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    A couple of options here,...? Built the 35cm battlecruisers, in the concept of the pockets. But deploy in pairs. At 32,000t you get 5 BCs The RN deployed battleships in pairs to take out Bismarch. (And in reverse B&T tied down twice the number of BBs ). With 35cm BCs it's two on two not two on...

    The Mare Nostrum doctrine: an alternate Italian Empire

    I was referring to the Carlist victory in Spain.
  6. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Not that simple, NI being an economically depressed region, about 20,000-25,000 of those soldiers would be from here and the Army very reluctant to involve them for fear of them colluding, deserting in droves or going off the reservation some night with the contents of the magazine. So...
  7. AHC: Romance languages disappear

    Why did England Germanize so readily? Anglo Saxon DNA now makes no more of 20% of DNA of Englidh oeople.
  8. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    That... actually depends. Their invasion of Norway was motivated by the fact that the Norwegians were not going to do anything about British convoy raiders attacking German commerce in the Baltics - almost all of Germany's steel comes from Sweden, and cutting that would wreck Germany's economy...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Looking at the Battle of Kinmen even a very small number of tanks can have a devestating effect on light infantry. from wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Guningtou
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Sending any tank to the D.E.I. depends on whether the Dutch are willing to divert any they may buy from defending their already invaded homeland. That would be a very hard thing for the Dutch Government to explain to it's electorate. If anything the D.E.I. are going to have less to fight with...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Besides, from my understanding of the early Japanese advances the entire thing seems like a series of precariously interconnected Rube Goldberg machines. I mean, yes, all military operations are like that, but the early Japanese ones especially. So even minor changes at and early enough stage...
  12. Roma Renovata est: A Roman TL

    Will reconquest of Germania be an option in the far future?

    WI: Imperial Russia vs Confederate states of America cold war

    Utterly impossible. Even in a maximalist CSA victory it would never be able to challenge the USA economically let alone push it into irrelevance. For a Tsarist victory, all that's really needed is the survival of a Tsar post 1880 who's truly open to reform. One who embraced reform instead of...
  14. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    Was there supposed to be more before you decided to end this? If so, why are you ending this?
  15. Roma Renovata est: A Roman TL

    Yeah,Britain isn't even useful to Rome so they'll just leave it there.Although it's probable many priests will go there to Christianize the population.
  16. AHQ: Royal Navy carrier strike on Wilhelmshaven, 1939

    Night atatck is postulated, so no fighters, but would they be able to sound the alarm ? (i.e. man the searchlights / AA guns at the port / on the ships ?)
  17. AHQ: Royal Navy carrier strike on Wilhelmshaven, 1939

    They'd want to hit other ports in Sept 1939. The Twins were in Brunsbüttel apparently by themselves and there were various ships in Kiel (Admiral Hipper and Schlesien of significance) while only Admiral Scheer, 4 CLs, and three destroyer flotillas were in Wilhelmshaven. Source...
  18. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    As the US had already embargoed exports to Japan & frozen their bank accounts in the US in response to the current Japanese actions. If Japan expands their actions what else, short of war, can the US do to show their displeasure?

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Loved the update! I really do enjoy glimpses of ATL culture like this!
  20. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Since Easter in 1848 was celebrated on 23 April (and Pesach was celebrated in the night of 17 April) it is likely that the Roman rabbis will draw a connection between the original Pesach in 1313 BC and the Pesach of 1848, since 17 April 1848 was a momentous date in the history of all Romans...
