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

    Yes this was my general thought WW2 as we know it might have been still born
  2. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    As Nixon in the spring of 1970 anticipated that he was really going to get political heat for the Cambodian Excursion that he launched and was braced for high U.S. casualties at that point ( in fact U.S. hostile deaths for May 1970 were the highest since August 1969) could he at that point go...
  3. AHC: Germanic but not Englidh England

    Didn't the Norwegians go directly to Scotland though? My impression is that Viking era migrations were more direct and required less hopping, which I think is why we saw more participations of more northern regions compared to the Anglo-Saxon migration.
  4. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    ...not -- nor the Freedman's Beureau one. Which may make the 14th Amendment seem less necessary. The problem with AJ was not that he obstructed the *Radicals* (who were always a minority) but that he obstructed *everything* - even moderate Republican measures like those 1866 Acts. This meant...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    @Sherman von Bismarck works on it.
  6. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    - An intermediate semi automatic rifle in the late '30ies that uses a barrel gas tap, no weird gas trap systems that are difficult to make work. It would be a pretty effective way of massively expanding existing wehrmacht firepower while more reserves are trained up. - Man-portable anti tank...

    AHC: Germanic but not Englidh England

    Which ones? The modern ones are generally held to be Angle settlers who were absorbed into the tribes known Frisii to the Romans. Worth noting that settlement of Britain by the Angles was essentially across the North Sea, while that of the Saxons (including Jutes) was across the Channel...
  8. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    IMHO Hitler was never deterred from taking some provocative decision by any possible respose from anyone else (well, not after getting away with the reoccupation of the Rhineland when, I gather, the focces involved had orders to pull back at the first sign of an armed response by the Fench)...

    What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    I don't know the answer to these questions: If Barnes patented his version of torsion bar suspension in 1934, what's the earliest practical date for both the US Army to authorize a larger purchase and US steel industry to manufacture a sufficient supply to a sufficient standard? (From what...
  10. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    If the Third Reich looks to be about to start spamming U-boats in the late1930's, there's a good chance that even Neville Chamberlain will say 'Screw this: Yo, Stalin, are you in?' at Munich, and that will be the end of Nazi Germany. Outrageously cheated on (as per naval treaty building...
  11. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I only ever made E-4, so he and multiple dogs outrank me, much to my humor and shame. Another odd thing about Donald - he has, in canon and official capacity, served in the US Army and Air Force, deployed in the US Navy, and has been used as a Coast Guard mascot with Disney's permission for...
  12. The Forge of Weyland

    If this is one of the reasons France falls to Germany, I don't see the Allies forgiving Belgium for this...
  13. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Explain me for what reason Edward IV would give one of his daughters to someone like Henry Tudor who was way too low ranking for them. Albany would get Cecily in the unlikely case in which he conquered the Scottish crown and get an annulment of his current marriage so that would still made...
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    I really need an emoji for a dragon sitting in a chair stroking a white cat, don't I? :D
  15. Mr. Havana

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    I had no idea that this was a thing LOL Just a quick nitpick, the wikibox says Phil Collins was 70 years old when he was born.
  16. BiteNibbleChomp

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    True. Tet is far too late to really fix the problem though. The US will be well into 'get out' mode, and even if Nixon drags his feet on pulling men out, he's not about to invade Laos with hundreds of thousands of men - be political suicide if he did. Hell, they got a huge backlash from just...
  17. The Forge of Weyland

    OTL in a much worse position the Belgian PM at the time declared his surrender unconstitutional. Here ITTL he could be replaced by a regent / regency council.
  18. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    From a submod that expands on the Second American Civil War. It's flavour portraying the state of America leading up to 1937.
