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

    Mine. The FBI rolled them up. This is J. Edgar Hoover. Not the sharpest American butter knife. That was to indicate how bad the Germans were at the game. But it does nothing about the fundamental problem the Germans have with metallurgy. The one with subs that fired NAVOL (hydrogen peroxide...
  2. Alternate Lord Protector during the reign of Edward VI?

    Wasn't Edmund styled Duke of Somerset not Duke of Cambridge, although never officially created as such?
  3. AHQ: Would (or could) the Avro Canada Jetliner have displaced the Boeing 727/737?

    The C.102 Jetliner, as many of you probably know, was built in Canada and first flew just 13 days :eek: behind the DH.106 Comet, fully five years before the 707, 13:eek::eek: before the 727, and 18:eek::eek::eek: before the 737. (I looked those up, and I'm frankly astonished it was that long...

    Miguel de Paz and the stillborn daughter of John and Margaret live

    Oh that is true. If Isabella and Ferdinand want the Trastamaras to live on they’ll marry Isabella II to Afonso. That means Miguel can marry Princess Mary Tudor too.
  5. WI: Petain Joined The Resistance With De Gaulle?

    The problem is that when you look at his WWI record alongside WWII Petain seems to be something of a fatalist, if he had his way in 1918 during the Spring Offensive Germany might well have won. I fear he would be far to negative an influence to last long with DeGaulle, not to mention Churchill...
  6. Sugarcane is primarily used to make wine

    the Indian variety don't last for more than a day and they become vinegar believe me in live in the Toddy belt . Sugarcane wine on the other hand lasts for years under right condition. That's what i am saying, there is no scientific reason as to why sugarcane would eclipse palm wine or rice...
  7. WI: Petain Joined The Resistance With De Gaulle?

    Yeah, he did what he could, but he was sort of limited in what he could do by the rest of the government. Of course, he was 84, so it's quite possible he would have ended up getting side-lined anyway. But his reputation would have been much more positive at least.
  8. Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    NA has the antarctic peninsula instead of mexico, and there is Atlantis with a copy of the Baltic sea in it. Oh, and huge green Greenland.
  9. AHQ/AHC: Ideal modern tank design?

    One parameter is the weight that be taken over most existing bridges etc.In the expected operational area (or possibly what you can airlift strategically) so modern tanks have been kept within current weight levels although some countries see good medium tanks as more deployable in parts of...

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Ooooh, seconding this! And if I can piggyback: do the Dropkick Murphys exist in any form ITTL?
  11. Miguel de Paz and the stillborn daughter of John and Margaret live

    Not guaranteed who Isabel II will marry Miguel. Alfonso is just nine years older and a legitimate male Trastamara who would be another good match for little Isabel. Still the choice of husband for her will be limited to them (or, but is extremely unlikely, to Ferdinand of Calabria if Ferdinand...
  12. Miguel de Paz and the stillborn daughter of John and Margaret live

    That is what I was thinking - why wouldn't they want to unite the peninsula. Although as @isabella mentioned, it would mean the avis would be in control
  13. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    You should have asked @Fuzzy Dunlop because he wanted the Belgians, Dutch, Germans, Italians and Japanese to buy Phantoms instead of Starfighters. I was only saying that if they had the money to do that the Belgians and Dutch would also have the money to buy Phantoms instead of the Mirage 5 and...
  14. TL-191: After the End

    In 2021, it’s a world of competition between rival great powers. The term “great powers” in 2021 refers to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Republic of Bharat, the Empire of Brazil, the Republic of China, the German Empire, the Russian Republic, and the United States of America. Not all rivalry...
  15. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    1) it WAS vitally important in the ACW. The Union could import As much as they needed, and the CSA was desperately short of gunpowder just like they were short on everything else. They did source a lot of what they did use from bat caves, true. As early as the Napoleonic Wars, it was...
  16. Miguel de Paz and the stillborn daughter of John and Margaret live

    Maybe, but NOT guaranteed. Miguel marrying Isabel mean who the Avis will rule over an united Spanish peninsula, but Isabel marrying Alfonso mean who the Trastamara would continue to rule Aragon and Castile

    Miguel de Paz and the stillborn daughter of John and Margaret live

    Isabella II will be betrothed to Miguel ASAP. Since the two won’t be running across Europe to try and deal with random territories they can focus on governing Spain and attack closer threats, such as the Moors in Africa and the Ottomans. Here I could see Isabella making it to 1506, since she’ll...
  18. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Prior greek influence due to Alexander conquests and subsequent hellenistic period explain why Romans were so interested in greek culture
