    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Especially if you’re the one who helped retain Calais and are in a decent position to try and help.
  2. Thousand-Week Reich - A 'realistic' Nazi victory scenario

    So what kept Spain from occupying Morocco IOTL, as France still fell then too?
  3. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Hmm. I think a slight redux is needed. "In our obituary to General Tuzo on the 18th of August we made an error. We stated that Edward Heath said to Tuzo "oh do what you want". We have since be informed by his family that the Prime Minister said "I am instructing you to take the action that you...
  4. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Oh fully agreed. Back in the late 1950s when Terence O'Neill was making noises about NI becoming a Dominion and NI was doing about as well economically as it possibly could- full employment and factories exporting goods, senior officials from the Department of Finance had a chat and showed him...
  5. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    It's likely yes, but surely common sense would dictate that you try and aid Calais anyway, especially given the PR blow that would come if it falls

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III
    Threadmarks: Part 120, Chapter 2018

    Chapter Two Thousand Eighteen 28th August 1970 Over Rural Brandenburg This was just the first familiarization flight on the dual control trainer version of an Orkan. It took a lot of getting used to, especially the system looking out the front. Rather than just a reflector gunsight that...
  7. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    I made this table by combining the the relevant appendices in Roskill's The War at Sea. So Germany did have more than 140 operational U-boats from 1st July 1942 until 1st January 1945 and the peak strength was 240 operational U-boats on 1st April 1943. I admit that the number on patrol...

    A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Powerful State of the Union address there JFK. Perhaps you can include Very strong measures against corporate tax avoidance in your reforms? Esp for off shore corporates. Also do women not get the ‘competent counsel’ - seem to have missed them there despite saying ‘men and women’ on the next...
  9. Third Bard's the Charm: A High Byzantine TL

    I am hoping for the latter as the Fatimid Caliphate was starting to fragment at this time.

    Photos from World War Z

    Striking picture of a CDC worker taken hostage by residents of a quarantined apartment block in the early stages of the Great Panic. The first response of the government upon learning of a suspected outbreak was to completely lockdown affected areas to prevent uncontrolled spread. In practice...
  11. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Another post mentions a Kaiser Wilhelm IV, which I assume refers to OTL Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, who got removed from the line of succession in 1933 for having a morganatic marriage. Said marriage clearly would have been butterflied if he succeeded his father as King of Prussia and German...

    Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Hope you guys had a nice Easter break over there - by the way, I recently learned that Italy's signature Easter cake was born as a publicity stunt motivated by the need to recycle and reuse bits and pieces of Christmas cake ingredients, this made me think about how the Confederation will almost...

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

    It's not the attitude of Tuzo that raises eyebrows, but the attitude of the PM. Heath was many things, but abrogating responsibility like that doesn't seem to fit. Tuzo being given the instruction to "do what he wants" should have got a much stronger request for better direction. That said...
  14. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    IF Kursk is avoided, there were a number of steps the Germans could've taken to improve their chances: 1. Withdraw behind the Dneiper, and appoint Manstein supreme commander of the eastern front. His mission would be to lure big Soviet forces into a trap, or at least repel attacking Russians...

    Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    Well in that case it would give Yakovlev its first simi successful fighter design since world war 2, aside from the Yak 38 (yes it had issues but it was the only other VSTOL fighter to see production in during the cold war.) and maybe gives them the money to complete my favorite what if fighter...

    A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Good update, Kennedy Administration going well, vietnam coming up soon so im worried about that. Glad to know LeMay is gone. Also, you're really good at writing these speeches and press conferences.
