    Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    not gonna lie im stll not smart enough to understand this. So the germans just sold nukes to ottomans then, with a sticky note saying take backs allowed? so how can the ottomans use them? Could someone give me a example if the balkan nations launch hypotheically a 5th balkan war could and can...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Yeah, Friulia would be a sensible acquisition... to go much beyond that would be, er, ill-advised...
  3. Japanese Empire with a Human Face

    Maps are useful. If Japan attacked the Soviet Union, the only interesting target is Vladivostok. If China without Mandchouria attacked the Soviet Union, you have no target of value before crossing hundred of kilometers of half wilderness. And attacking in the west is almost impossible because...
  4. Q: Would Hitler still be the man we know if he wasn't kicked out of art school?

    This is the type of “dilemma” presented in time travel movies again and again and again. It’s almost a type of responsibility OCD ? ? Lord forbid we make a move which makes things worse. Look, if you have a reasonable chance to prevent the Holocaust, you go ahead and take that chance, please...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Repressive measures in both countries tended to either backfire or fail miserably... Poles gonna be Poles :)
  6. The Forge of Weyland

    Because the best one has paratroops on both sides of it. And they are using some old pre-war defences
  7. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    Treads you say? You just might have something their. I was guessing beforehand that was the case. Just a part of the joke of combining the Saratoga with the US's other training carriers.

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

    *cough* Atanasoff-Berry computer All calculations were electronic, by binary with tube logic gates, rather than electromechanical, like wheels to keep track of value. All digital. Used punch cards for input
  9. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I gotta admit I never thought I'd ever see anyone refer to a slightly heated disagreement online as being "Worse then SS Pamphlets". That's a new one.
  10. Nobody Expects: The Spanish Revolution

    The USA got wrecked in the naval war!
  11. Sehzade Mahmud (Son of Mehmed III) Becomes Sultan

    Sehzade Mahmud was the eldest surviving son of Sultan Mehmed III, who was executed on his father's orders. Within the year, Mehmed himself was dead and Sultan Ahmed I became sultan. What if Mahmud (or rather his mother, since it was her consultation of a seer which caused Mehmed's patience to...
  12. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    If Austria is going to annex a chunk of Italy, the Piave River (Friuli) makes more sense than going whole hog and taking Venice.

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

    Each point was addressed on point. 1. Okay. 2. Gas operated AK47 taps gas from the barrel and uses it to drive an operating rod which functions the cyclic. 3. Where did the Germans get the idea? Bazooka. 4. He used relays, not switches and his "digital programming" by punch tape was hardly...

    Medieval America Mark III

    ...would be in Montana and North Dakota (perhaps - the Missouri River IS navigable) and the Canadian Prairie (for sure) since states in *Wyoming (Oregon Trail, eh) and *Colorado (Santa Fe Trail) would likely evolve simply due to transcontinental trade routes and a need for forts/trading posts...

    The Forge of Weyland

    It isn't clear why the two water lines (one just behind Antwerp) were ignored to stretch a much longer front line.
  16. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    Alternatively, if the Sassanid House under Yazdegerd III, Peroz III and Bahram VIII all are captured, killed or surrender to the Arabs rather than flee to Iran and seek the aid of the Great Houses, it is conceivable that House Karen could potentially come to be elected as the King among Kings...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Agreed. Being on the losing side would be an ego-crusher to the Brits, but... while there may be CP forces occupying the Brest-Litovsk lands, Italy down to the Po, and a victory parade in Paris, there wouldn't be German soldiers lounging around in The City... unless you want to go full-on ASB...

    Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Hearsay from Chamberlain, not something I'd put much faith in.

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

    I agree with you here. That is the determination I have both Gladstone and Granville make, for as you enumerate there isn't really anything Britain can constructively do here without pointless loss of life, and would be ineffective anyway. Besides, the massive weakness of Austria after defeat in...
  20. The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    Not sure. If he survived it seems that he remained quiet minor character. Same thing with Yeltsin too. It would had been intresting how their career would had gone on very different Russia. Only place which about we know after fall of fascism is South Africa and even that is more than I would...
