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

    I think you misunderstand me. Of course, in a vacuum, nation-building, even imperialist nation-building, is better than Huttig's flavor of slave-fueled genocide. However, in the context of TNO, Huttig's megastate is meant to fail extremely quickly, while I could see America's brutally...

    Explain the AH Quote

    A line from a history book written by famous American author, politician, and President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), on the Hafsid-Naples Union, and how it would become one of the prime examples of Christian-Muslim coexistence, cooperation, and overall prosperity, showcasing how Tunis (known as...
  3. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    I thought this was going to be some joke.
  4. AHC: wank the Milesian school

    What about having one or two of the great Miletians (Anaximander, Anaximenes, Thales) found his own school like Plato did with his academy and Aristotle with the lykeion? This may help spread the idea behind a group of few close students.
  5. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Not a chance. The Soviet system was incredibly flawed, even as a mere planned economy, much less as an overall governing entity. The Soviets, thanks to remarkable mismanagement, managed to fail at the one thing it strove to be, a great industrial power. The failures of the goverment created a...
  6. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    OK, it is very difficult for it to go worse.
  7. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    If this is April Fools I'll be really pissed. This looks really good, and I'm eager to see Savinkov fleshed out more.

    Medieval America Mark III

    Also, in regards to Whatifalthist's statements on disease in the south, it's important to remember that malaria was only eliminated in the region less than a century ago, and so it's likely that the demographics will remain roughly the same. Northerners will die off in droves, but southerners...
  9. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    Hey now, if the ancestors of the Zulus could emigrate from Germania after 180 AD, then so too could the Karens emigrate thousands of miles westward.
  10. The Forge of Weyland

    No where near as bad as the salient the Germans are holding to the north along the coast. It won’t take much longer for the penny to drop that the Germans have no reserve of panzers and that they struggle to handle the heavier allied tanks. I suspect a counter offensive will soon be on the...

    Medieval America Mark III

    I disagree in this being a likely scenario, but I laud you for composing such an interesting idea. IMO, the most likely scenario is that the High Plains remain nomadic until the advent of gunpowder and/or industrialization, which historically negated the advantage held by the nomads in Eurasia...
  12. The Forge of Weyland

    I'm not sure of Leopold's thinking here - if Belgium surrenders the British & French will just politely leave & the Germans will let them go preventing further damage. But more likely they keep fighting in Belgium but no longer having to take into account Belgian sensibilities about the amount...
  13. How to ensure China remains imperial

    We’re there any generals who had enough prestige to possible take charge during the 19th century
  14. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    That seems more like a failure of imagination. Or perhaps, the impossibility of imagination. Imagine you live in a CP victory universe. And you are know discussing the possibility of an Entente victory scenario. You are aware of all the monstrous ideologies that came to power in your world...
  15. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    This website mentions a 'substantial' tidal current in the canal due to differences in tide times between the two ends: https://www.maritimeprofessional.com/blogs/post/corinth-canal-13392 Mind you, it doesn't give a figure for the currents, so I'm unclear on if it would be something pontoon...
  16. Count of Crisco

    A History of Alyska to the year 1800.

    Hoping to have an update out Saturday, I have stuff to do sadly. Next week I am also busy and wont have the chance to write much, so hoping to have a longer post out tomorrow.
  17. Ivan's revenge : Soviets try to settle score with EGYpt

    What thousands of lives? The U.S. had pretty much all the Soviet tech given to Egypt via the Israelis thanks to the Syrians and to a lesser extent the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan. The Soviets never gave full domestic versions of their weapon systems in export. They created specific "export...
  18. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Aaaaand... The British attacked the Vichy fleet at Mers-el-Kebit OTL and showed no will to make peace. Are you actually reading what you post? Your last two suggest not as they describe exact scenarios played out OTL with exactly the opposite effect to what you believe will happen.
