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

    Napalm is different than defoliage agent. Defoliate agent like Agent orange can cause lasting ecological damage, and potentially contaminate the ground for generations to come. Oh I agree that African anger might be redirect at Nazi but from what I recall in OTL quite a lot of people who were...

    The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    As a second son, he's either going to need a low-level foreign match or a domestic heiress. Honestly, I'd consider an Irish match, to help with the integration. Otherwise... One of the Lennox Stewart girls, Agnes, Margaret, Catherine or Elizabeth, would ease things with Scotland. Or Elizabeth...
  3. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    Looks like a worthwhile cartridge to start from. Even the heavy .351 in bullet of 180 gr was offering 1900 J, or about 45% more of ME than the .30 Carbine, or about 35% more than the 7.92 Kurz. Doh - the French have did it more than a hundred years ago, for the Ribeyrolles 1918 ... weapon. They...

    The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    He could marry Madeleine de la Tours Auveregne, OTL Mother of Catherine de Medici. He could also marry Mary Talbot or a Stafford girl.

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

    This is also presuming that the Americans even use it in the first place. It's entirely possible to wrap up the South African War without any brutal tactics. The fandom for TNO has a tendency to take any action America MIGHT take and assume that it WILL take it. Russia isn't always going to be...
  6. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    If jesus father was god how can he have a paternal line at all?
  7. Best accidental president

    Actually, the Fed raised interest rates in 1920. Inflation was a big issue in 1918-1919. In Dec 1919 the fed raised rates from 4.75% to 5%. In Jan it was 6% and in June 7%. You are conflating the market crash with the depression. Your explanation of the Depression is the bog standard...

    WIP Map Thread

    I'd add Horqin District and Ulanhot City to the Chinese side of the border, but otherwise yeah.
  9. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I imagine most Africans will be too busy demanding reparations from the Nazis, than to explicitly care about the use of napalm in ejecting said Nazis. Though it could be an issue in a few decades, depending on how widespread its use was, and depending on the American governments willingness to...
  10. No disaster in Malaya, no invasion of Burma; how long does India remains in Britain's sphere?

    India would still become self-governing/Independent but there wouldn't be as much anti-British hostility. India as a Dominion might last longer and the government might involve greater influence by the Princely States (and thus, indirectly, the British).
  11. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    I'd like that Czech whip up the Bren in the '.29' (something like this), and then indeed a proper carbine is made around the '.29' using the Lee-Enfield bits & pieces to expedite the process. Later, the EM series use it. Seems like the .300 Savage was making between 3000 and 3500 J. That is...
  12. Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    His statement on the Bronze Age seems a little ignorant. The transition from bronze to iron was not as simple as "iron is better than bronze therefore existing armies simply dropped their bronze weapons and switched to iron". A bronze sword can be just as good, if not better, than an iron one...
  13. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    Alternatively, they could follow the Snake and Columbia Rivers and set up shop in the interior of BC around Kamloops. This avoids the Blackfoot entirely but also puts the Mormons on a river so they can access the outside world. Eastern Washington, the Idaho Panhandle, and eastern BC become TTL's...
  14. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Who do you think Edmund should marry at this time? I was thinking of a French marriage, but it might not be the best option given the circumstances
  15. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    The British have just as much expertise. Australia's is more recent but not by much. Australia's approach would be to move into an area, take it over, talk to the local leaders and try and satisfy their needs as much as the Government's. In Somalia we were asked to stay by the locals when it...
  16. How far could industrialisation go without large population surpluses?

    Interesting, although I'm not sure the same would hold true ITTL -- Prussia (as far as I know) wasn't at the forefront of the Agricultural Revolution, so presumably the big cities would spark the Prussian Agricultural Revolution in that the extra demand for food would encourage farmers to copy...

    Alexander II, Alexander III and Alexander of Battenberg and more killed in 1880 explosion?

    The Bulgarian Tsar is not late, or the clock mechanism is delayed longer. The explosion goes off when the full royal assortment is in the dining room, killing almost all of the people there...
  18. The Forge of Weyland

    Considering that Operation Pike is being prepared around this period, and there has been no fall of France ITTL, might this end up being the Casus Belli that France uses to drag the Soviets into the war? Britain was, from what I can tell reading wikipedia, more cautious about it. The Soviets...
  19. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Now we are talking - UFO had the potential to be as big as Star Trek
  20. Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    Things to keep in mind: - The Roman army has a much better battlefield command structure, including a plethora of competent generals as well as low level officers such as centurions. - The value of Medieval heavy cavalry, although important, is overstated. There are numerous examples of heavy...
