  1. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    Till 6th August 1945 is about the best they can do.
  2. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    If the Mk 71 goes into service then the argument to reactive the Iowas is a little less strong. Not sure what other classes would receive the mount, perhaps the Kidds but I think the Ticonderoga's used up the extra space for something. The future Arleigh Burke DDX/DDGX went through many...

    AHQ: latest moment to reverse Celtic decline

    Well in Britain the Anglo-Saxons mostly mixed with the Celts, although culturally they declined.
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    For strictly personal reasons, I kind of hope Barney is still a thing TTL as my life would be very different and maybe not as happy if the big purple dinosaur wasn't as big and as detested as he was OTL.
  5. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    An 8" gun seems more fitting for Ticos than Spruances or Burkes. The Zumwalts or some equivalent are happening no matter what, in some form - an advanced stealth ship in cruiser size was going to be tried, just as part of the late '90s obsession with "Future" this and "Advanced" that.

    What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    I never said that and please do not put words in my mouth. The cause of the war was Hitler's obsession with making Germany independent of world trade by capturing the resources he wanted for this in Eastern Europe in a war of genocidal conquest. He had the idea that Germany could trade for the...
  7. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    Basically what it says on the tin, with a POD in the summer of 1943, how long could Nazi Germany survive?

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

    WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    Yeah, but if I remember right the Jewish high priesthood couldn’t actually sentence people to death anymore. Thats why they had to get Pilate’s write-off, and I don’t think stoning was on the Roman books. Or blasphemy, for that matter, which is why they then pitched it more treasonous than...
  11. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Well we know, or at least I think we know, a couple of things. The German surface forces did not have much of an impact on the war. A couple of times the U-boats came close to sinking more merchant ships than the Western Allies were producing, More U-boats would have increased sinkings. The...
  12. Ming invasion of Taiwan in 1633

    Would it be possible for the Ming to invade Taiwan after the battle of Liaoluo Bay. Would a Ming invasion be successfully. What would be the impact of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Liaoluo_Bay
  13. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    I'm actually surprised that Robert Guiscard hasn't shown up in Normandy with enough Veteran Troops from Southern Italy to become Regent. It's exactly the sort of power grab he would do. . .
  14. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    The title says it all people. What are the effects of the Mark 71 not being canceled in 1978? Does it get installed on the members of the Spurance class? Does the Burke class get the ability to swap out its 5" gun for it? Will it prevent the Zumwalt fiasco? Please discuss this and more
  15. AH Cultural Descriptions

    The son of a prostitute, Russian immigrant Isaac Asimov was early on recognized for his extraordinary intellect and equally extraordinary business savvy; earning a scholarship to Harvard Business School, he went on to found several small businesses and eventually one large, Transcontinental...
  16. Billy Bennett new book

    From what I've read, whuch doesn't include his books but does include several reviews, that is a good description. I've avoided the books because of the awful editing mentioned in the reviews and I don't handle stupid errors well. I've had fights with authors over such.
  17. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Yep, the DF only has about 8K of operational troops, effectively forget the Reserves, that's not enough to close the border, cover the Gardai patrols, keep a lid on any Provo reaction and handle refugee camps... I mean hell the Army is still chronically short on basic equipment, I'd imagine a...
  18. Dutch retain Taiwan

    Would it be possible for the Dutch to defeat Koxinga and retain control of Taiwan What would be the impact of continued Dutch Taiwan. Would the another European power or the Qing take it at some point.
  19. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    With a 1914 POD CP win is possible in 1916 I think. POD's of Wiking's Conrad Waits and Marne without Moltke TLs would have ended with CP victory in 1916. Unfortunately, wiking never finished them.
