  1. The Forge of Weyland

    The Italians are in an interesting position. They arent going to declare war on Britain or France (and doing so right now would mean declaring war on both), as that results in them getting curbstomped in the Med. They have ambitions, but ideally they can meet them without getting too far on...
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Yeah thats why im thinking singapore is very unrealistic especially with this narrow of a pod where the butterflies have finally started happening . Thats why im thinking a more extensive burma campaign is possible and the british might reconquer it instead wich could help with imperial prestige.
  3. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    He was also in one of the Doctor Who movies in the 1960’s, then was in the series more recently. Thought they missed an opportunity by not have the latter character be a relative of the earlier, if not the man himself.
  4. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    The US wouldn't use 300 KT nukes on Baghdad or Basra but Neutron Bombs on Iraqi armored corps. The vast majority of the dead would be Iraqi tankers as the blast wouldn't be that great and the neutrons would either be absorbed by other atoms or beta decays into a proton , an electron and an...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    The main problem with a more successfull Caporeto is the fact that the KUK was out of its suply lines. The offensive could have in theory continued to Milan, the Italians were quite shattered, but the KUK simply could not move forward. But yes, if you solve the supply situation, you could in...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Sports fans always ask "How can we bring pro-rel to the US?", but the real question is "How can we bring the Champions League to the US?"...
  7. The Forge of Weyland

    I quite agree with @Gannt the chartist. I think we should take into account how british intelligence calculated panzers before the onset of Case Yellow. The only way available to them, was to make vague estimates of industrial capacity. But their estimations always had in mind the worst case...
  8. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    There was a tabletop role playing game: Space: 1889 Using Cavourite and such to explore new worlds, seek out new civilizations and conquer them. It was reasonably fun. Dave Allen ‘Irish comedian with a few fingers missing’ Dave Allen?
  9. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    he gave promises of better things to come to a people that had been crushed first by war and then by the Depression. Desperate people are all too willing to believe in anyone who says he can make their lives better.
  10. Third Bard's the Charm: A High Byzantine TL

    Another TL by Eparkhos? Count me in. And like RyuDrago said, it was such a messy plot, it's not a very auspicious beginning for our Emperor, blessed his reign may be.
  11. Explain the AH Quote

    Mohawk Councilperson Akat Deganawidah of the Iroquois Confederacy, commenting on the presence of John Lennon, a prominent New English priest who turned to nativism and immigrated to the Confederacy as well as adopting a native name and style of dress. Lennon became something of an ambassador...
  12. Weekly Flag Challenge: Discussion & Entries

    Is this not striking fancies? When I post the challenge, I tend to wait until I see someone else post an entry before I post my own. Just wondering if I should be considering a different challenge?
  13. Defeated Austria inside German Empire: Kingdom or Archduchy?

    In that case, bringing in a united Austria would indeed be better. Especially if there's an external enemy to point to as well. And keeping southern Tirol certainly is worth it. Sure, it might bring trouble with Italy down the road, but this much stronger Germany, that really won't be much of an...
  14. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    I suspect the French would still want to replace the 8mm Lebel post WW1 (for machine gun use etc..)
  15. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Four words. Competent Austro-Hungarian Military Leadership.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I know Asia keeps coming up before its time but I think the only way Britain improves its performance in Asia against the Japanese is if they know the attack is coming well in advance, like during the initial planning stages. Given that Asia was supposed to be the 'quiet theatre' because Japan...
  17. The Forge of Weyland

    At the moment, the Beafort is still as OTL
  18. Marco Incognito

    Hearts of Iron IV "Fictionalization."

    I did consider Mods in other time periods but want to prioritize World War II though I suppose I should throw out some ideas for other settings. Crusader Kings 2: 769-1453 Would cover mostly "Mythical Stuff" some moved up in time to be included King Arthur rules in England, Charlemagne in...
  19. Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.

    Austria-Hungary will go through a similar process Russia did in our world, strengthening ties with France as a counter balance to Germany. The problem with Austria- Hungary is that it's on a far, far worse geographic position than Russia was IOTL and it's also far weaker. Luckily, though, the...
  20. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    While the special effects were great and it had the most realistic looking spaceship EVER in sci Fi. The reality is it had a bit weak scripts and frankly the main “plot” was totally unrealistic. You can go quasi realistic or you go full future tech. The mix of a Sami realistic tech and the...
