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

    They would probably attempt to label it as a British problem that the British would have to solve, and lord knows they wouldn't want another Vietnam situation that might be even worse, not because they wouldn't have experience within guerilla warfare, but the fact that their involvement with...

    Map Thread XX

    1. Choosing the selection tool (the one used for copying parts of an image to later paste etc, looks like a dotted box). 2. Right clicking anywhere on the image. 3. Should be at the bottom of the choices that come up. (while looking at it now I see there is also options for selecting the entire...
  3. AHQ: Royal Navy carrier strike on Wilhelmshaven, 1939

    If this plan had been developed during the previous year after the Munich Crisis is likely that the RN would have been more careful with the use of their limited resources. As Astrodragon has pointed out this could well mean that Courageous is not used to hunt (be hunted by in fact) U boats and...

    Another Anjou as Queen of England

    Tomorrow i will write a TL that starts at the end of 1460
  5. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Well, that’s not a good economy of scale, is it? How long, and how much resource, does it take to build a cruiser or even a destroyer? Versus basically building or converting “hot-rodded“ freighters with hidden cannon/torpedos? Hard to detect under construction and easily dispersed. The idea...
  6. The Marriage of the Century - A Burgundian Timeline

    Thank you very much! This TL is not dead, I'm just very lazy.

    'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    Well, it's not that short, but the US could pick the 300 Savage sooner, and end up with a near 7.62 Nato round in the 1930s
  8. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    It seems there won't be a Germany or a Japan after the war.

    WI: President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, & Secretary of State All Die In Office

    The general theory in continuity of goverment plans seems to be that deputy secretaries could fill the role in the event that no secretaries are left, and assume the presidency, or in a worst case scenario, individuals lower down the chain of succession of each department. The precise legality...
  10. Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.

    Wow. I didn't know about that term, but it's definitely interesting (and awful, of course).
  11. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    That would make things certainly interesting. Not sure that whoever replaces Breckinridge would be able to do much more about the war if it go that bad for them. Even if they tried, how many people would listen? As appealing as it is to think about the autocrats of the era trying to go full on...
  12. AHQ: Royal Navy carrier strike on Wilhelmshaven, 1939

    The Med is quiet in 1939, so no reason why Glorious couldn't be one of the three. If you're doing a night attack, you can get more planes off in a strike as you can get them all ready first, no threat of enemy air attack. Pretty much anything can be used to drop flares. Unlike Taranto, there...
  13. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    Might be an option if the British opt for the equivalent of the No 5 Mk 1 carbine for non Infantry use in the 30's.
  14. Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.

    Exactly. I first had the idea of the timeline when I read a quote by Haiti's first head of state, when he called the Poles the "white negroes of Europe". I realized that the assessment wasn't far off. Everyone hated the Poles for the longest time. Some social Darwinists in America conducted...
  15. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    No it isn't, because those are flatly impossible to find. For example, there are no primary sources (or practically none) on Alexander the Great. Zip. Zero. Almost nothing by Alexander the Great or his contemporaries survived to the present day. What we have are a lot of histories and...
