  1. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Okay, thank you all for your ideas and discussion. I think the Ottomans might well be able to restore their pre-war territories, though this might require Britain to make peace at the end of 1917 (which is, IMO, very likely, as with Italy and Russia gone Lloyd George would have even greater...
  2. Nintendo's New Groove: An Alternate Nintendo Timeline

    He means that the duel is a reference to a comic where Eggman uses the power of the Master Emerald to become a god and alter all of Mobius, including the Special Zones.
  3. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I agree that Germany asked too much of the Panther given the technology and materials they actually had ready at the time. The Japanese with their Chi-To and Czech with their proposed T-25 seem to have better understood those limitations and were willing to compromise. They both went for lower...
  4. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Soviets losing the Civil War. There being a second World War due to French revancism, when if anything WWI OTL was the war which was a product of French revanchism. The Ottomans somehow keep their pre-war territory when by 1917 the British and Hashemites had already captured Baghdad, Aqaba, etc...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I really hope the "Russia rework preface" isn't trolling because that actually sounds really fun.
  6. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918

    Good start, and a POD I don't think anyone's covered before, @Lyndhurst (and I say this as an American who doesn't know much about British politics)... Waiting for more, of course...
  7. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    ...the Ottomans had, generally, better rifles (British) than Russian army. A naval support on the Black Sea? In an absence of the Black Sea fleet (*) the Ottomans had an absolute naval advantage (and some British-built ironclads) which proved to be pretty much useless because most of the...
  8. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    If the Brits are trying to stop the fighting, they'll need to call in everyone's loans, not just one side.
  9. Ivan's revenge : Soviets try to settle score with EGYpt

    And if I wanted to I could probably pick out other ex-Soviet clients - or hell, ex-American - who did the same. All of this is very often the cost of playing the superpower game - when it comes to state actors, especially state actors with actual power like Egypt, they have their own agendas and...

    The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    1. Will the Brits try to call in loans to Germany and Russia? 2. Will the Romanians, Bulgarians and other Balkans states try to take a piece out of AH?
  11. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    Because they had close calls the mauro roman kingdom manged and others manged to inflict significant looses that took the Byzantines bug planing and campaings the Berber kingdoms and tribes also did a lot of the Resistance against the caliphate resisting them for about some decades . The...
  12. Japanese Empire with a Human Face

    Could he have been convicted to attack the USSR at the height of the Nazi invasion of Russia? As quickly as the Nazis pushed deep into Russia, I think its possible for it to seem like its only a matter of time before Russia is conquered and that a Chinese invasion just speeds things up. Its...
  13. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I don't, but I've also been playing the mod since the days when it was Wrangel who was the popular option...and frankly, anyway, I always liked the choices you had as Russia in the mod.

    Medieval America Mark III

    My one big critique with this is that the Mississippi Valley wouldn't be as exposed as thinks. The Ozark-Ouachita ranges would blunt nomadic attacks on the Arkansas Valley and most of SE Missouri, as would the Minnesota River (anyone with half a brain would fortify the fords along it) in the...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Prussians tended to have this irrational fear of a resurgent Poland... which has always seemed strange to me. I think the religious difference is frequently downplayed. Particularly strange when you notice how many of the Prussian nobility had names that were obviously Polish in origin, and had...
  16. Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    I honestly cannot remember exactly, my post is based on what I remember from A history of islamic societies 3rd ed by Ira M Lapidus. I'll take a look and see if I can find the exact source.
  17. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    One thing to remember of the phalav faction of the sassanid empire, they never allowed a clan to get a upper hand and were even willing to side with the sassanids or the parasig faction to get that clan back down to earth. This happened with sukhra and also with bahram chobin. You need to forsee...
  18. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    Almost certainly I believe, since the ERE's position in the Mediterranean would be much stronger, and they'd be able to ferry troops into Carthage without much of a hassle whenever things get bad there.
  19. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Do you realise that those using the ignore feature are completely unaffected by any of this nonsense until someone such as yourself bites hard on the hook and starts filling the thread up with responses? Report or ignore, it’s not difficult.
  20. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Right because the remilitarization of the Rhineland was "just a small incident". And the Auschluss was just another "small incident". And turning the entire German economy into a more or less Pyramid scheme using MEFO bills among other things was just another small incident. And then annexing...
