  1. What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    I am learning so much from this thread alone. Thought I knew a little about tanks. I was right. I know little about tanks!

    Telephone Map Game: 8th Edition

    Yea it's kind of amazing! Great work everyone this round was awesome! Africa centered
  3. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    One potential improvement is in the ability to use one base when the other is unavailable through bad weather. Also, as Sparky says, the patrol pattern from Cobh could add to the problems the U-boats face in transit to the convoy lanes. And later in the war be used for offensive patrols off...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    If they end up with more divisions in Malaya then they might request an Austrailian corps or higher commander. Would Blamey do better than the OTL commanders?
  5. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    you know it was a screw-up but frankly they at least addressed it, scrapped the line, and moved on vs. the HE-177 where the first run of 150-odd aircraft were horrible and they built ?? 800-900 more? (and overlooked is that each aircraft they swapped a lot of the engines out, thus they did not...
  6. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Not as decisive a victory in the Electoral College as Eisenhower '52 but I could see MacArthur doing better in the popular vote as he avoided focusing any attention on the low voting rate South. It's clear that one of if not the main problem of the MacArthur administration will be all those...
  7. DBWI: Biden Survives Surgery

    In fairness, I did a DBWI about Trump while he was POTUS, but I made Trump different enough that it worked (he was basically an 80s Wall Street stereotype who could handle money stuff but was weak on foreign policy.) A dead Biden probably doesn’t change him enough to make this work. It’s...
  8. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Exactly. Given the RAF was formed due to a handful of raids in WW1 - how do we expect the UK would react to a massive increase in uboats? Expect coastal command to get a subtle increase in aircraft - this alone would make things much harder for U-boats in 1939-40 Like with fighter pilot...
  9. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Himmler and some of his circle were into various new religious movements, rejecting Semitic religions in favor of more "Aryan" traditions. Savitri Devi built on these ideas after the war.

    Threadmarks: Napoleon III of France

    Napoleon III surprised all, when during Paris conference French sided with the defeated Austria. France help Austria – now constitutional Danubian Union under the Franz II and Liberal Government – to survive and loose not so much land – only Lombardo-Venetia goes to newborn Italy and Galicia to...

    The Forge of Weyland

    While it's unfortunate that the Germans were able to get their grubby hands on our tanks. It was also inevitable that they would at some point. The question is what conclusions they will come to once they have finished assessing them . I wonder how much effect it will have on future German...
  12. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    However could RAF flights from Cobh disrupt u boat movement out of the bay of biscay? Also the U.K. had long been pushing for the establishment of a base in Foynes/Shannon as well for MPA.
  13. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    I think chemical weapon would be more probable
  14. British comic book universe?

    Perhaps British comics and Games Workshop/Citadel join forces back in the 80s. The Grim Dark of the Warhammer and Warhammer 40K universes certainly would be matched horses with the gritty, grim and cynical Eagle and 2000 AD style story's of the day. As it was some of the early 40K comic...
  15. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    No, but depending on the current of socialism that takes power, retaining colonies may not be desirable.
  16. These Radicalised Isles; What if Joseph Chamberlain became Prime Minister?

    He was also one of those historical figures whose ideas were all over the place.
  17. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    It'd have been easier had the Italians better performed at Custoza early in the War. The problems that decided the engagement at Lissa were a bit deeper and harder to take care of in only 5 years and, frankly, with a slight case of victory disease.

    Threadmarks: 12.13. To Make an Omelette you have to Break eggs

    12.13. To Make an Omelette you have to Break eggs. Early on the Morning of the ninth of January Sir Hugh Dowding had arrived at his desk to receive a personal report from Portal on the effectiveness of the attack on the Hipper in Brest the night before. Knowing Dowding’s concern for the...
  19. British comic book universe?

    Dan Dare might be a good starting point. Big hit of the 50's, great aesthetic and cast of characters and an iconic villain. Could easily fit in for a sci-fi side for those kinds of things.
