  1. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    The Nakajima Ki-87 The Heinkel He 119 was an experimental single-propeller monoplane with two coupled engines, developed in Germany. A private venture by Heinkel to test radical ideas by the Günter brothers, the He 119 was originally intended to act as an unarmed reconnaissance bomber capable...
  2. Defeated Austria inside German Empire: Kingdom or Archduchy?

    I'm tenuously working on a timeline in which the alliance system shifts in the late 19th century. The details aren't important for this, but ultimately, Austria-Hungary is dismantled and dismembered by a Russo-German alliance in an alternative Great War in the early 20th century. Now, in the...
  3. AHC: East Asian Social Democracy

    Relevant statistics. (Korea's case) The contrast I'd like to highlight is that, in Scandinavian cases like Sweden, pre-tax inequality is high, but it's state taxation and redistribution that brings down the said inequality, whereas in Korea and Japan, pre-tax inequality is not severe to...
  4. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    Fighting retreats are very difficult to pull off when your army is mainly infantry formations with few trucks and horse drawn supply vehicles. Walking away from Red Army Tank and Mechanised corps or even its Cavalry units is likely to become a rout pdq. There's only so many armoured formations...
  5. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    More like: "Climb these stairs and say that to my moustache!"
  6. FYI : about Ludwig Beck on "East First 1914"

    Probably the only way to really find out would be to summon the ghosts of Moltke the Minor, Gerhard Tappen (acting chief of operations department since 1910) and Moltkes official adjutant at the GGS Hans Tieschowitz of Tiwschowa and maybe the in 1914 longest serving "Higher Quartermaster"...
  7. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    President Joe Steele responds to Supre Chief Of The Orra Patton's allegations (1946 colorised).

    Threadmarks: 3rd Jun 1940

    3rd June Belgium The new defence line is complete, and a number of opportunistic German attacks have been repulsed with no real problems. The Germans seem to be building their own defence works, and while an attack is by no means being ruled out, lit looks like they are looking to consolidate...
  9. An Alternate History of the Republic of Nauru

    English is taught in schools and used publicly but Nauruan continues to be used informally and at home.

  11. The Forge of Weyland

    "We needa bigger gun! Put a 105mm on it! Immediately! I refuse that the Italian Army, the mighty Italian Army will be dwarfed by puny Belgium!"

    WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    I base my arguments on Eric Williams’ classic Capitalism & Slavery. I don’t have the data on hand right now, but Williams proves how profits associated to the colonial system financed early industry. It’s also worth mentioning that labor being cheap in the slaveholding colonies does not...
  13. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    Enjoying the build up and looking forward to what happens next.
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    Too late - that Belgian thing is already a 90mm. Cue what happened when Bertorelli borrowed Gruber's little tank...

    Threadmarks: Rally in Lhasa reminds Party faithful of their origins, imperialist claims - 1st November 1934

    A rally in Lhasa has reinforced the August and Blessed Government's dedication to ensuring the Great Qingt's dedication to binding the nation together, both in terms of geography and faith. In the mid 19th Century, the borders between China and India were the subject of meaningless debate...
  16. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Corrected to Denmark
  17. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    That does make a fair bit of sense warships only have so much AA ammo as was shown off Crete and on numerous other occasions and land based AA only has so much AA ammo readily on hand. Of course Taranto is a naval base so a fair bit of ammo would be available in the nearby ammo dumps but the...
  18. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    How about Space 1999 The Motion Picture instead of Raise the Titanic?
  19. The Forge of Weyland

    "We needa de bigger a gunna on it! Put an 88mm on it! Immediately!"
  20. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Based on what I've already written the POD is between the end of Series 1 and the beginning of Series 2. Don't hire Fred Freiberger and poach Robert Homes from the BBC. Keep the two Barry's (Gray and Morse). Give Nick Tate more to do. E.g. make him and Martin Landau more of a team instead of...
