  1. FitzEmperor

    Alternate Lord Protector during the reign of Edward VI?

    Would the same apply if Henry VII had remarried and had a son with Joanna of Naples?

    AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    Starfighter cost ~$1.4 million. F-5 IMS about half. F-4 ~$1.9 million. 243 Phantoms would had cost about 73% more. Where's the money coming from?
  3. The Forge of Weyland

    Four twenties and twelve indeed. Nonante deux to a civilised Wallon.
  4. WI: Petain Joined The Resistance With De Gaulle?

    Petain has a history in the 30s of trying to improve the army in numbers and quality, but being repeatedly blocked by the government, so he's probably going to be seen at least somewhat favourably. He's also someone who's willing to work with others, unlike De Gaulle, who was an egotist.

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I held a discussion about these buildings a few months ago about how they looked poor and depressive. The argument I opened the discussion with was that the German empire built apartment blocks called "Wilhelmine rings" made for the poor and they looked stunningly beautiful, and someone said...
  7. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I fully agree about the German puppet states being much preferable to soviet conquest and puppet states. But on the question of block houses I disagree. there was a very real shortage of housing in the region and the block houses was the fastest and cheapest - practically the most efficient way...
  8. Miguel de Paz and the stillborn daughter of John and Margaret live

    Suppose so. @RedKing and @CaptainShadow any thoughts?

    Is civilizational centrism inevitable?

    It is somehow vital for a civilisation/lifestyle to consider itself superior. If not, how will it survive when a different civilisation comes along?
  10. Can Basque whalers settle down in northern Iceland and secede from Iceland? I just want to see the Basque-Icelandic Pidgin survive

    Seeing when they left, they had pissed off the local Icelanders enough that then they suffered shipwreck the Icelanders butchered them, I suspect even without the Danish authorities coming down on any such attempt on establishing a settlement, the Icelanders would deal with them on their own.
  11. Could the Gallipoli Campaign Have Succeeded?

    One of my current WI timelines involves Sir Henry Wilson's demand for troops to be sent to France (as he had secretly planned with Ferdinand Foch before the war) to be rejected by the War Council, as the British Cabinet had agreed on the 1st of August that troops would not go even if Belgium was...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Of they acted fast perhaps they could but no guarantees. That is true. Waldemar agreed to marry a Nepali noblewoman (the Princess of Bardiyah was the prime candidate) but for his children and grandchildren, probably up in the air. They could, they could also not.
  13. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    I expect that Waldemar would marry European nobility, preferable English one to keep his family‘s connection to Europe
  14. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    If the Dutch buy 138 Phantoms instead of 138 Starfighters they're probably going to buy 105 Phantoms instead of 105 Freedom Fighters making a total of 243. And if the Belgians buy 113 Phantoms instead of 113 Starfighters they're probably going to buy 106 Phantoms instead of 106 Mirage 5s. That...
  15. Miguel de Paz and the stillborn daughter of John and Margaret live

    Ferdinand had likely enough power to get young Isabel to be recognized as heiress (Isabel was not recognized as heiress, but Juana was, together with her son). Still the crown ending in limbo until the birth of Isabel’s eldest son is more likely than Miguel inheriting it on his own for me

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

    I wonder if the JFK-Marylin Monroe conspiracy theories will spring up ITTL?
  17. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The thing is, there was no viable other way to go into the war there, making it a costly and deeply immoral mistake. Of course, a large part of it was mission creep. A few advisors and some bombing can always be done (but isn't effective), and so more forces are sent and more bombs dropped. That...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    And so the oldest lore in the mod, even older than the mod itself, passes from the scene.
