  1. The German Century

    You may like this then. I look forward to the novel about the British Commune and the Soviet Union dividing the world between them where the plot is driven by a book positing that the Communists could have lost Weltkrieg: the Sequel.
  2. When was the Levant and Egypt lost/unconquerable to the Romans/Byzantines?

    As the title says, when did the Byzantine became unable to reconquer the Levant and Egypt?

    Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Philip III does look to be a pretty competent ruler, ensuring that Egypt is run with a light touch while keeping things in order, although Ptolemy is a noteworthy contributor to Argead Egypt's success. Meanwhile, I'm glad to see Nubia independent, although we all expected this to happen. It'll...

    AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    Not really – just have them join at the correct exchange rate, I mean it was recognised at the time that it was at the wrong level. IIRC when it was queried the government basically replied that it had been chosen and the press releases were already going out so there wasn't really anything they...

    AHC: Earliest possible North Korea nukes

    The USSR offers to base missiles there in 1959? [ Although that probably doesn't count as "getting nukes" since Moscow would have launch authority not Pyongyang. ]

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    My favorite thing about writing Henry VIII is just when you think you hit the limit of dramatic, it's still well within the bounds of his OTL personality.
  7. WI: No Molotov-Ribbentrop

    Regardless of whether or not you believe it to be 800k tons or 660k tons, you are still ignoring the fact that it was a number that was around the amount of oil products imported by Germany from Romania in 1939. Hardly a tiny portion. So if the 912k tons of Soviet imports are removed along...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    North africa and Greece are far more important right now for any troops to be sent to the Far east. We are still roughly 6 months away form the Japanese being seen as a threat. More troops is enough assuming they are properly led even with the air force deficit, it is difficult though. The main...

    Step 2: Make sure your guns work and some of them face landward. Also get an accurate count of your enemies before considering your odds in a siege.
  11. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    At the very edge of striking range at this time and heading east south east at 18 knots.
  12. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    I think the difference in initial post war situation between the two in terms local communist power makes big difference. I.e. the USSR in eastern Europe and China in SEA in 1945 are not similar situations
  13. AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    Yeah, but no. If we butterfly black wednesday, it's been Tory party policy to tie the currency for a decade by the time they lose to Labour (and they will, Major can't beat Blair) and that policy isn't associated with economic pain. While there were the maastrich 'bastards' a lot of their...

    Derailed and Rerailed: A story of American Railroading, during the Cold War and Onward.

    @TheMann thanks for the input. The South Dakota refit is a work in process. Story wise one maybe two are refitted before the project is scrapped as the Dakota hull will never meet the speeds needed for post war Fleet duty. It was gonna be a test bed for the eagle ASM and the S.A.Ms. they are...
  15. AHC: Earliest possible North Korea nukes

    Electricity - With domestic capability to produce a boosted fission nuclear weapon in 1974, the North Korean government is likely deemed a threat to take seriously much earlier than in OTL. This may make the DPRK a target for sanctions even earlier than OTL, perhaps leading to the realization...

    Step 1: Learn the difference between Jungle and Rubber plantations...... Step 2. Make sure you infantry know the difference between the sound of tank tracks and the sound of bycles with no tires on the roads
  17. Could Germany have Caused a Reverse-Battle of Britain?

    You need a plausible reason for Goering to NOT try to achieve air superiority ... and the instance bomber command starts dropping bombs on the Ruhr, Hitler is going to demand the Luftwaffe take out the RAF ... One possable POD is both the Brits and French have more and better fighter aircraft...
  18. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Germany was still a democracy in 1916-18, the Reichstag still sat, the Kaiser and his Government still operated, there was no coup. The difference is that under the 1851 Prussian siege law Corps area commanders had a lot of powers to undertake government roles in wartime and H&L used these...

    Medieval America Mark III

    This was uploaded yesterday, and the maker stated he was heavily inspired by Matthew White's canon while adding in his own twists. A number of maps and concepts also display clear influence from Colin Woodard's American Nations.
