    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Sorry, but there is nothing about the Armata that lends itself to anything remotely like the Object 279. Take a good look at Object 279, it has a quite unique hull and running gear and is not constructed from any in-service MBT. The biggest starter for 10 is that the running gear is as flat as...
  3. AHC/WI: Make South Vietnam win the Vietnam War with a POD after 1968

    Yeah its army is in a shamble (not to mention its economy)

    Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    Roman infantry, provided they're as well-disciplined and organized and in as high morale as their compatriots who stood up to Seleucid, Parthian, and Sassanid cataphracts, will handle medieval cavalry just fine. Yes, medieval cavalry is better armored, but that doesn't matter. Shock cavalry is...
  5. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    It has way more to due with geography than policy. Upper Canada was essentially landlocked and kept land prices flat and produce prices low because of lack of an export market. And much of the population growth simply bled south to the United States. And when it did fill up, they couldn't...
  6. AHC/WI: Make South Vietnam win the Vietnam War with a POD after 1968

    It’s pretty hard but the NFL could break with the northern line, cancel Tet-1, preserve its strength, and prepare to contest the political composition of a *federated* SRV after liberation. The RVN has to hope the US would prefer malaise forever.
  7. Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    he just said you could take them 1000 year so the the year XI i never heard him said for all the medieval era till the XV century , also Dan ignores something like tactics example the first bulgarian empire inflicted the byzantine empire many defeats by using terrian and not only against...

  9. AHC/WI: Make South Vietnam win the Vietnam War with a POD after 1968

    Suharto Indonesia was a shambles for several years after his rise to power. It was a deeply divided nation with millions killed as being suspected Communists. There were also large numbers of Chinese killed for well, being Chinese. Indonesia was riven by political, racial and sectarian...
  10. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond
    Threadmarks: The end of 1962 and a retrospective on Kennedy's domestic agenda

    The remainder of 1962: Compared to the chaos of October 1962, the remainder of the year following the midterms was relatively quiet. The Republicans were disappointed by the result of the 1962 midterms, however, the one saving grace was that their prodigal son, Richard Nixon, had returned to...
  11. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    @Father Maryland That totally slipped my mind! I know at one point they wanted to skip re-activating the guns to skimp on manpower and just use the hulls to haul around the ABLs of Tomahawks, sure glad they manned the guns.
  12. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    I don't think that there is mentioned anything about US politics. But I don't think that FDR has seeked third term when there wasn't war in Europe anymore. I guess that they are preparing their own defenses. Perhaps creation of European Community if Westerners win the war.

    Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    Dan Carlin discusses this idea multiple times in his podcast. He makes the argument that the Roman army could beat any medieval European army on the basis of numbers alone. The Roman's ability to organize and supply armies was vastly superior to anything that existed in the middle ages outside...
  14. Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    They are not on equal ground. Sure knifes a knife and spears a spear and iron bronze or steel if you’re stabbed in the same place you’d have the same result. But battle evolves, medieval cavalry would destroy Romans and grind them to pulp, knights vs Alexander’s cataphracts would be the same...
  15. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    ...If you have an hour and a half spare to watch it put that on your research list. :) Edit: This is a historian who has studied world war 2, and who has written as book specifically *about* the charisma of Adolf Hitler.
  16. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    Nothing changes. Jesus was executed and disciples hid the body and claimed he rose from the dead alongside half of Jerusalem rising from their grave. If he was sawed in half they’d claim they saw him alive and put together trough power of God. If he is chained with weights and cast into the sea...
  17. WI: Wilhelm II is a pacifist

    Very interesting - I was not aware of Russian modernization programs with French loan. No wonder German was concern about Russian mobilization and demanded the Russian to stand down. Basically, (at least in theory) Russia would be a great power in 20th century with or without Soviet authority.
  18. Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    thats a possibility, i give you that. but i believe its a very uphill battle for the Romans
  19. Do you agree with this assessment of pre-gunpowder armies?

    unless the french commander gets way to over confident or is dumb against a genius roman commander.
