  1. WIP Map Thread

    I've got two queries. Firstly, does this look like a good ethnic division of Inner Mongolia between Mongols and Han Chinese? Secondly, should I remove the pink region from Orenburg Oblast
  2. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    But demoralized and not in a position to oppose the US or the whole coalition, especially if the latter came under attack by WMD first. A high death toll wouldn't be likely as the Israelis had masks. And they couldn't afford the alienate the US and the rest of the coalition which, to keep the...
  3. Anti-Semitic Fascist Italy from the start

    Right afterthe Matteotti Murder, before the infamous speech of the criminal association in parliament, there was a strong pro-Farinacci faction in the Fascist Party; should Mussolinidie before the speech....
  4. AHC: East Asian Social Democracy

    It suddenly struck me that, paradoxically, the samurai (by late Tokugawa or so) could have been made amenable to such "social democratic and welfarist policies". One of the big social-political-economic issues of Japan at the time was that the samurai class was in charge, but a lot of them were...
  5. WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    More likely Philip V‘s ascension was favored by the interregnum caused by his sister-in-law’s pregnancy. If Clementia had not been pregnant at her husband’s death, Jeanne would most likely get the crown in my opinion
  6. The Forge of Weyland

    That's true, it's a different group of people doing this. But the people they need to put their results too are busy. Also, as the results aren't what was expected, its likely they get to go and recheck before they start making decisions based on it. And of course the fighting isn't over yet...
  7. Hang gliders in combat

    It's been done before. Sort of:
  8. The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    Right now i dont see a way for the Theodosian Walls to fall other than deception, before the introduction of large gunpowder artillery, Constantinople was an utter pain to siege, requiring a large army on both sides and an large navy.
  9. WI: Japan never modernizes

    It would be nice to see Japan as a Russian colony. Russian army around the Russo Turkish war wad in pretty good shape. You just need enough ships to trsnsport troops across the sea
  10. WI: Japan never modernizes

    Perry and the U.S. weren't the only ones sniffing around the metaphorical gates of Japan, and you have not yet convinced me that Perry was personally instrumental in the process that lead to the Meiji restoration (ten years after his death) other than him being the guy who opened Japan and came...

    Automotive Industry Without Honda?

    I think the only thing both Honda and Mitsubishi, plus Subaru, Suzuki, Isuzu, Hino Motors, and Daihatsu, would kept all of themselves nonexistent was probably Toyota would have already taken over thus reorganised the businesses of Daihatsu, Hino, and Honda into the former's [Toyota's] orbit...
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Hmm. Give the Australians a holiday in SEA or send them to Sicily. Choices. I know which one Churchill will pick.
  13. Another Anjou as Queen of England
    Threadmarks: The House of Tudors

    The House of Tudors Sir Owen Tudor (1400 c. - 1461) married Catherine of Valois (1401 - 1437) Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond (1430 - 1456) married Margaret Beaufort (b. 1433) in 1455 Margaret Tudor (b. 1457) married George of York, Duke of Clarence (b. 1449) with issues Jasper Tudor, Earl of...
  14. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    A 20,000 word update? You put the rest of us to shame :) Though one thing I noticed... There seems to be part of a sentence missing. I assume it's a copy and paste error? Great writing as always.
  15. What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    The trailing (or leading) link was around long before Christie. What he brought was to use it in a heavy vehicle with a very long stroke to allow plenty of suspension movement and a softer spring rate. Torsion bar suspensions also use a trailing/leading link. Essentially there are only two tank...

    The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    'Communal overship' is either a farce or a smokescreen, most often for the tyrants claiming to be ruling for the people, sometimes for simple anarchy. From what I can see from how it has played out in the past, in the absence of a functional state you don't so much have a mix of this...
  17. WI: Willhelm II dies in 1913

    He could but politicians got in the way.
  18. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Most of CP wins happened in 1918 via No US Entry or successful spring offensives. I've never seen CP victory in 1915/16 with different PODs.
  19. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    Maybe they just use places like Camp 222.

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    A Pan-Himalayan kingdom under a Prussian royal sounds like something out of Indiana Jones, it'd be cool but everything would depend on how the new boss will act, as a foreign overlord imposing Prussian mores on Nepal (just like the Manchus next door) or as a neutral mediator who's not above...
