    The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    This sums up about 800 years of Irish history.
  2. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    They did. MITI had extraordinary latitude towards provision of credit to specific companies and specific sectors (with basically a near monopoly on commercial lending into the early 1970s). They picked winners and losers.

    WI: Cheney dies in 2002?

    Dick Cheney is known for having a ton of heart problems, so let's say, his last and fatal one occurs in 2002? What changes the War on Terror, what's exactly different for Bush and his entire administration?
  4. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    Given that Taft came very close to losing re-election in OH in 1944, I am by no means certain he would even carry that state. But he could carry it and IL as well (which again I find questionable) and he would still only have 195 electoral votes to Truman's 297 if Truman carried New York, as he...
  5. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    Huh something like that would have taken care of the needing to murder boghammers mission requirement of the LCS program which would have resulted in a considerably better product from said program
  6. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    if they are not building battleships, and plan on basically a u-boat warfare, aren't there a host of warships and other ships to be assembled to facilitate this? they had to also plan on a large coastline to defend (even if they do not imagine just how large), for instance they stalled on...

    Largest possible British India?

    Should Persia be rendered a British colony or protectorate at some point, might it eventually be incorporated into the Raj? What about a timeline where the Great Game spins out into an open war between the United Kingdom and Russia, and the former comes out victorious? Might at least some...
  8. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    The eyes do seem to be at fault. Though drawings also depict his eyes strangely... For the record, that side story was written by @DTF955Baseballfan, not me. I liked it very much, that's why I posted it here. I think I made it clear that I won't really engage in Native American affairs more...
  9. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    Modern unit would be a modern 5" or the OPs 8" firing smarter than me ammo and then something like a multiple Brimstone/Sea Spear or similar in a VL launcher or a modern HellfireL like missile that retained a 'human in the loop' (that's how we fights the wars today) target allocation - ideal for...
  10. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2
    Threadmarks: Story 2548

    Northwest Pacific, 2254 May 14, 1944 USS Archerfish shuddered for the last time. Ten torpedoes were in the water. Six were swimming towards the big bastard closest to them, and four more at a heavy cruiser not much further away. Water entered her tanks and her nose pointed down as the...
  11. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    What is "European" then? The Ottomans did not consider the Turkish populations in Anatolia to have the same cultural affinity as them, and the role of the Sultan as Caliph was marginal right up until Abdulhamid II. I don't see how one could go onto say that the core Ottoman culture was not...
  12. Largest possible British India?

    Tibet might be doable in the sense of Lhasa being a protectorate (though a bigger money sink than most colonial projects). Yunnan is far too much trouble (since the easiest lines of communications go west to east).

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

    Is there an option in any way vaguely similar to Oceania, or not really?
  14. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2
    Threadmarks: Story 2547

    Northwest of Saint Tropez, France 1643 May 14, 1944 A dozen Panzers were burning. They had bowled through a light line of scouts mounted in jeeps and motorcycles. Machine guns had scattered the screen forty minutes ago but they did not kill their greatest threat. Half a dozen radiomen had...
  15. Dutch retain Taiwan

    It's theoretically possible, but the Dutch would have to walk a very, very narrow tightrope not to annoy the Qing. The Dutch might be able to win a war or two with the Qing in the 18th century, but then that will drive the Qing to modernize their military (especially navy), with butterflies...

    DBWI: A totally non-successful Beer Hall Putsch

    And he had left office recently after he declined to run for re election.
  17. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Trying to tar the Polish Home Army resistance as "Collaborationists" was also done by the Soviets, to vindicate them essentially honouring the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact for one final time when they enabled the Germans to crush the Warsaw uprising, which itself had also meant breaking the back of...

    More widespread Internal weapons bay in the post war era

    internal bays allow higher dash speeds and more economical cruising, from low drag. Is it worth the reduction in warload? The F-105 had an internal bay, that nearly always had a fueltank in it, and carried more stores externally. The B-58 is another way, with the weapons and fuel in the...
