  1. List of monarchs III

    His wife is the same as in TOTL. Oh, and I forgot to mention that he had four children in TTL.
  2. Automotive AHC - Improve Studebaker's (and Packard's) prospects

    That does seem to be the general outline for Packard ITTL. Would have to second the idea of introducing a lightweight (yet Big Block) OHV V8 postwar, something that compares well with the Cadilliac V8 in terms of weight and potential displacement (along with carrying over any worthwhile aspects...

    Catastrophe at Cassville! (Civil War TL)

    Interesting, will be watching. Also, taking out Joe Hooker and Alpheus Williams in one fell swoop? The Union just lost two of their best corps commanders.
  4. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    And the RAF would have been prepared too. This means that even if Somerville does not manage to get his aircraft carriers in position for an attack the night before Nagumo shows up it's likely that the Japanese air strike against Ceylon will be far more costly. Granted that it will also be...
  5. Best accidental president

    I used to think that Hoover got a bad rep for causing the Depression. I don't anymore. Compare the depression of 1920-21 with the crash of 29. In 1920 the government was largely hands off and the economy recovered by 1921. In 1929-1930 , Hoover lobbied business leaders to maintain prices and...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Well, the question is largely about the fate of the Russian identity in the post-Taboritsky wasteland as opposed to the fate of the identity in RK Moscowien, but that sounds like a good answer to the fate of Russian identity in RK Moscowien. However, what would be interesting is if, after a few...

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    Prevent the rise of sectionalist politicians like John C. Calhoun, and keep the mindset of men like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, etc who placed union over slavery. Of course, that would be hard to accomplish with some great national trial to provide a reason for Americans to unite around the...
  8. List of monarchs III

    Carlo Maria Buonaparte, b. 1745, d. 1785 1) Joseph Bonaparte, b. 1768, d. 1844 2) Emperor Napoleon I, Emperor of France, b. 1769, r. 1804 to 1812, m1. Josephine Beauharnais, m2. Marie Louise of Austria a) Napoleon Francis aka Prince Napoleon II (...), b. 1811 3) Lucien Bonaparte, b. 1775, d...

    These Radicalised Isles; What if Joseph Chamberlain became Prime Minister?

    This seems quite interesting, can't wait to see what comes next!
  10. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    I cannot find the source but I do remember years ago reading that the heat damage from the resultant fires had caused significant hull and frame distortions on both vessels While I am absolutely sure that had the need been there both ships would have been fully repaired and placed into service...
  11. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    The real question is if any of Mac’s cronies are any good at their jobs. At best I think Mac ends up with a mixed legacy akin of Harding or Grant.
  12. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    I'm not sure whether routes south of Ireland will be feasible in WW2. In WW1 the U-boats mostly had to go round the north of the British and Irish Isles, as the Channel was mined and patrolled. So the southern route increased transit distance and reduced their time on patrol. But with bases...
  13. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    This would probably just delay the Civil War; secession would just come 4, 8, or 12 years later. To your point, there probably needs to be a PoD no later than 1810 to prevent a likely secession. In the "unlikely, but it might work," category, we have: 1) The SC secession vote fails, for...
  14. Hilo destroyed in 1984 Mauna Loa eruption

    Tom Selleck and the cast of Magnum, PI will play a big part in the concert, methinks--Mangum, PI was set in Hawaii and would probably have several episodes about Hilo's destruction...
  15. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Could there be a plot twist where Henry Vi wins and the York's set a independent kingdom in Ireland.

    you forgot the lakes in tibet, but it's great

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Lifted straight from the QF 20pdr Wiki page... “The APDS projectile had a muzzle velocity of 1,465 m/s (4,810 ft/s) and the APDS Mk.3 shell could penetrate 330 mm (13 in) of RHA at a distance of 1,000 yards (910 m), and 290 mm (11 in) of penetration at 2,000 yards (1,800 m), equating to a line...

    House of the Rising Sun - The German Eagle takes Flight.

    I might as well say this before marking the thread inactive. When I first started this, I felt like I could manage to provide large, consistent updates. Now, I've come to realise that's not exactly what I'm good at. Therefore, I am going to put a close on this thread. However, this isn't the end...
  19. WI Walther Model is given command before Bagration

    Its my opinion that the biggest aspect of the battle was the Russians ability to conduct it. I have seen it said that Germany was very good at inflicting Blitzkrieg type defeats on its enemy's but was rubbish in defending against one and we see that in this battle. I could not say for certain...
