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

    "RTE 6-One News" 1st April 1972 "Good Evening. Over the last 24 hours more than 2000 people have crossed the border between the Republic and the United Kingdom since the unofficial announcement of the secession of 'the North'. The Taioseach has condemned the move as 'a blatant act of...

    How possible is an "African Silk Road Route"?

    Yes, I understand that, I’ve read about Chinese Treasure Fleets making it into the Horn of Africa, and Chinese Porcelain in the Ruins of Great Zimbabwe But, is it possible to transport Chinese products, through trade, overland into places like Kongo or Mali Empire? Can Chinese food make all...

    A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    These events in Berlin and on the Turkish Straits are dire, and I can see this a defining moment for JFK in later histories. Brezhnev is going to be interested in JFK's domestic problems though I can see him wanting JFK to have problems as much as Khrushchev. Perhaps Nixon campaign gets caught...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    Or the T-35s? Thy would look impressive, at least until someone shot at them.
  6. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    If the Panthers run for four years on WW2 spares they weren't that bad. The French considered sending some to Indochina to deter Chinese IS-2 across the border but IIRC opted to deploy M-36 instead. Listen, nobody would call the Panther a reliable tank, but it was not worse than the Crusader and...
  7. Hilo destroyed in 1984 Mauna Loa eruption

    Thank you! I was trying to think of other people to co-host with Don Ho, and all I could come up with was Jack Lord. But Tom Selleck would be better for that era, bringing in teen and twentysomething viewers.
  8. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    Ah, understandable. My maps were simply outlining ALL the aims and proposals made by various people, obviously Siberia detaching from Russia, breaking France into separate states and seizing their empire, and dismantling the British Empire is completely ASB, it was more for fun and because I'm...
  9. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    I suspect they’d still build some, the R class is desperately out of date and the unmodernized QE are as well. But they might choke it down a bit. Or hell, by starting construction on these escorts early, they won’t be panicking and freezing construction midwar. Oh no... not Bomber Command...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    That is a lot of wasted aluminum and man-hours. That would be the only reason I would have thrown resources at the F4F-2 Skyrocket (P-50) instead of the F4F-4 Wildcat. The desperate need for climb rate and gun seconds is the trade-off against the added manufacture effort, the expense, the...
  11. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    (some ideas; feel free to comment) The problem is that if things remain unchanged, then if Murat enters the war on the side of the Sixth Coalition, he would most likely be crashed by Beauharnais's army in Italy, unless the British were somehow able to rush forces from Sicily to back him: but...

    Threadmarks: 33. Rubalcaba Ministry (2011-2105) -1-

    33. Rubalcaba Ministry (2011-2015) -1- Rubalcaba was supported by the Liberals and the Catalan and Basque nationalists. Many journalists reflected, later on, that the coalition negotiations looked as a bizarre chess game, with the Liberals only willing to support Rubalcaba if they were rewarded...
  13. The Forge of Weyland

    Would the Soviets offload some old BT-26 and similar tanks on the Nazis? Edited. Meant the T-26 & BT-5/7 but no matter
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    But who else would sell the germans tanks? The Japanese?

    Is the German Empire able to take Moscow and Petrograd in WWI?

    Not only is that not true (for example a modern total war would have German cities eradicated by nuclear destruction) there is simply no way that anyone in charge of Germany is going to go "Yes I'm sure that even though Russia has just started industrialization they will never be able to catch...

    Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    It would be interesting to know more about that as I seem to recall something similar. I also seem to recall without looking anything up one of the codes never broken was an IJA one. I really need to unbox a load of my military books which are still in the garage after our move as @Grey Wolf...

    Map Thread XX

    There is, and it's designed to represent the many groups within the country. The grey are non-voting areas, due to the low population and Bedouins. Also, here's a cool explanation from my friend from Egypt on the constituencies: "The voting districts are made up of combinations of...
