  1. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    A flip up 100 / 200 meter sight should serve for most purposes We know now that most infantry combat took place at less that 300 meters and the vast majority of that at under 100 meters I am not sure though when this was 'known' ie was it discovered during WW2?
  2. Alternate Armoured Vehicles of Nations

    I recall the S Tanks had a row of Jerry cans stored down each side and I recall being told that this was to act as additional protection
  3. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    The original British Petroleum (BP) was a subsidiary of a German company. When the British took over the shares, they liked the name!
  4. The Forge of Weyland

    It could be worse, they could say the King has been detained for cowardice in the face of the enemy.
  5. Virginia Liberal

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

    I'm toying of changing either the 4th Alaska to Montana I've always felt bad that it never got a battleship named after it. Or the 4th Midway class carrier but that would be odd.
  6. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    They why do you always post that American recognition of independent Indochina means Red France? Are the PCF really a threat or not? And why would the U.S. supporting Vietnam cause France to turn left, when the example of Algeria shows a right-wing reaction? And if you're going to commit to this...
  7. The L84A1, A2 and A3 Assault rifle - "The Last Enfield"

    In 1980 the Canadian arms company Diemaco (part of the Héroux-Devtek Inc group based in Quebec, Canada) in a then very contentious move purchased the Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) in Enfield Lock, London. Part of the sales pitch had been the on going development of the XL series of bullpup...
  8. The Forge of Weyland

    Rather specific and gauche, what?

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    No? Vietnam was a unitary political unit from Ngô Quyền up until Mạc Đăng Dung did a stupid, and even after the Trịnh and Nguyễn lords divided the nation the division was largely political, culturally they were still quite similar. It's just that back then Vietnam was only in the north, and...
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I wonder if any of the forces used in East Africa will now/soon be redeployed to the Far East? Even a small amount of men with combat experience and knowleadge of tanks could make a big difference in Malaya. As would even a small amount if modern equipment above OTL levels.

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

    That works very well. I could see Henry doing that.
  12. Best President USA never had (20th century edition)

    If Wilson dies from his stroke on October 2nd, 1919, Marshall becomes President, accepts Lodge's reservations, and the Senate passes the treaty. The Democrats nominate Marshall instead of Cox in 1920, and Marshall loses, though probably by a narrower margin than Cox did. In a future...

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Doesn’t really make sense age wise but sure why the hell not!
  14. Dalai Lama assassinated in 1959

    If the Dali Lama dies China would probably handpick their own 15th Dali Lama. I can't say what would happen during the Cultural Revolution though or if China would be satisfied forever with a puppet Lama. The CCP could end up just abolishing the position later on if they feel it had outlived its...
  15. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    And if you seriously believe that, I have a bridge in Kansas to sell you. “Superb training”, of the people who had to be coached step-by-step into make an air-air kill during the Gulf War by an American AWACS. Positively laughable. Suffice to say, had the Gulf States militaries been at all up...
  16. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    I clicked on the polls for here, and the accidental president thread, at 2 PM on March 31st. Breckinridge had gotten six votes (out of 23) and some arguments in the comments in the accidental president thread, but nothing here. As I stated earlier, I did consider listing Seward and maybe I...
  17. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Moroccan_alliance Have the Anglo Moroccan expedition against the Spanish take place during the Anglo Spanish war in 1580s Perhaps get the Ottomans on board. to ensure its success. Avoid Lepanto or turn it into a Victory for them, as well as a victorious Siege...
  18. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    It feels like everyone is ready for another round of blood & tears but no one seems to know from where it will come. Worst, Antony make it seems like Peace will be forgotten for a long while, I suppose it could mean that it will be numerous conflicts not really related except in the "one of our...
  19. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Britain was without Continental allies twice in WWII. Between June 22nd 1940 (The French Surrender) and October 28th 1940 (The Italian invasion of Greece), and Between April 23rd 1941 (The Evacuation of Greece) and 22nd June 1941 (The launch of Op Barbarossa). Standing alone while Britain...
