    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Bit old for Henry when the series starts (which would be in around 1504) He works though! Maximilian is in his 60s at this time.
  2. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Max Irons? Adrian Dunbar?
  3. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Again, a complete contradiction of reality. The US was making moves to support Britain in 1940 and these accelerated after the fall of France when German hegemony seemed like a real possibility. The British embargo succeeded despite the supplies to Germany from the USSR, which were of course...
  4. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    It makes perfect sense for countries that sign arms limitations treaties to use them as a reason to get rid of older weapons, planes, ships, etc. that otherwise would still be in the inventory because of bureaucracy and legislative inertia which is one of the reasons for the navies of the world...

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Also I am planning to include a TV show set in this Timeline, which is based off these events, but I am not good with Actors so feel free to suggest some! Actors that need casting: King Henry VII (I am thinking Gary Oldman, but feel free to suggest someone else) Margaret of Austria (I am...

    AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    I agree. We're a manageable, sort of entertaining insanity - I frequently tell my students the Czech Republic is a utopian society - do whatever you want, nothing matters and no one cares. Ah! Greetings from Nusle!
  7. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    So with Austro-Societism emerging onto the world stage, I wanna take a moment to note that Alfarus' panic makes total sense. The obvious parallel here seems to me to be the SPD-KPD split during and after the First World War, over exactly the question of whether socialism could be accomplished...
  8. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    With the added complexity of colonial times.
  9. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    And Now we're heading to 1910 with Some Big News! Major League Football expands to 20 Teams, With the Major Baseball League absorbing all 8 remaining teams in the Western Baseball League, Major League Football will add 4 new teams into this circuit However with the Philadelphia Eagles moving...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I know Ross Perot isn't a cold warrior but I hope he keeps the Iowa class battleships and Virginia class nuclear cruisers in service.
  11. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    Why is Minnesota still in the East Division when they're the farthest west team in the league?

    AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    Yeah, though I would say they have been getting crazier around the entire world. But yes, the mess we have here is an utter insanity. Ah, a fellow citizen of Prague, greetings to you too!
  13. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Again you show a basic ignorance of facts. France was forced to pay massive indemnities under the guise of 'occupation costs', so Germany gains nothing from withdrawing. And again you seem fixated on the idea that the loss of the BEF leads to a complete collapse of British morale and a...
  14. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Brits are limited by logic. The Soviets and US show no signs of entering the war in 1940. The embargo will not work with the Soviets supplying the Germans. With a semi-permanent German occupation of France and the Netherlands, Germany will have the industrial capacity to outproduce Britain in...
  15. Was the Char B the "Tiger Tank" of France?

    This one makes a lot more sense when considering the implications of the rangefinder & azimuth optics in the turret. That feature is not for weapons. Then there are the unarmed command vehicles built on the same chassis, but with the same optics & radio suite. Another clue is in the robust...

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    True about the vows! Never thought about that one! If he's like his maternal Uncle (who was not exactly a nice guy) it makes sense she'd use that as her escape!
  17. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Nah, I can think of plenty scenarios in which he remarries without divorcing his wife. Like for example taking vows with another woman while he's still married and technically not divorcing her fully at any given time.
  18. How might a surviving Palmyrene and/or Gallic Empire evolve?

    However, the capital of the 'Palmyrene' state, at first, was likely to be Emesa in Syria. In the future, I imagine Antioch as more immediate choice than Alexandria.
  19. What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    Thanks. The Merkava 3 and 4 use independent coil spring units, while the 1 and 2 used either bogies or independent springs with alternated leading and trailing arms. Developped from Horstmann components. This was chosen in part because Israel is very rocky so torsion bars aren't as durable as...

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

    I always end up writing her as something of a bitch... Although to be fair, we're only seeing glimpses of their lives. She might be all the other things for Henry *off-screen*. Glad you liked the new baby!
