  1. Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

    This seems too generic to never have been done, but A Softer World A map of a region whose history was better (less violent, more prosperous, more democratic, etc) than in OTL (this wouldn't necessary mean utopia, just better)
  2. The Forge of Weyland

    You're all assuming this new defence line will hold... Don't worry, if they fall back further there's always Dunkirk behind them! :D :D

    BFF. Belgium Fights Further.
  4. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    Reading through here it looks to me like the conversions were the optimal use of the two hulls. & the US got a really good deal. Bad luck kept them out of most of the decisive 1942 battles, but their service in pioneering big deck carriers, and training generations of naval aviators was...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Fair enough, that's your prerogative.

    WI: The Karens take over Persia

    I knew this joke was coming the second I read the title lmao. Didn't they have a sort of Rump state that initially escaped the Islamic conquest of Persia? Could they have have pulled off an Asturias and slowly retaken Persia over time much like the Iberian Reconquista?

    Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Churchill said a lot of things. Where exactly are you getting this from. Those specifically make absolutely no sense. Why would Germany want Gibraltar or Malta? What the hell does that gain them in their quest for Eurasian dominance in the East?
  8. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    About African Romance, does anyone have any kind of evidence about the border of the language? Surely we could have at least some place names derived from late Latin roots that indicate generally the border of the linguistic area? Similar data from Switzerland(hardly a super well attested...
  9. Sides in WW1 if France won the Franco-Prussian War?

    The Prussian government in the 1860s was interested in expanding Prussia and in elevating the Hohenzollerns, not in German nationalism. They made no attempt to annex Austria or Bohemia. A defeat by France is a signal to stop expanding. The southern German states will fall into the French...
  10. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Germany will not be able to fight a war on the Eastern Front without the ressources provided by a occupied France and occupied Netherlands. Even if France and the Netherlands payed an indemnity, it will not replaced four years of total use of their economies and even then Germany loosed the war...

  12. The Forge of Weyland

    Breaking Belgium up was only suggestion for the extreme scenario where Leopold's action led to France falling and the war lasting as long as OTL. Which doesn't seem what our author has in mind now, as Belgium looks to be fighting on. However, in such a post-war scenario. . . . No one would...
  13. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Russia is officially the "main villain" of Kaiserreich. The rework has Savinkov in power from the start, effectively making Russia the 1:1 copy of Nazi Germany.
  14. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    The first thing they do is demand to speak with the manager.

  16. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    Only if the Navy mounted treads on her. Even today, after the completion of Seaway, the SeawayMax is 740 feet/225.7m length, 28.8 feet/8.8m draft, and 78 feet/23.8m beam. When they finally decided to actually build the thing in the mid 1950s there was a proposal to match PanamaMax for the locks...
  17. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    The House of Karen was one of the Seven Great Houses of Iran during the Parthian and Sasanian Empires. What if they had formed a Persian Empire of their own at some point?
  18. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Good April Fool's Day post, @gap80. Have you given any thought to what your next TL will be and when it will come out?
  19. Japanese Empire with a Human Face

    I just want to say that the empire doesn't need to last forever, just as long as possible. Hopefully political reforms would help it last longer as opposed to otl's "treat everyone else like shit" approach.
  20. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Wrong. I see this ass-pulling all the time "Hitler wanted to conquer the world" "Hitler wanted to redraw europe's borders" "Hitler was a stark raving madman." None of it has any basis in reality beyond allied propaganda. He wanted a conflict with poland to settle the danzig corridor and the...
