    Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    sorry im an idiot do you mean they are protected by the german umbrella or they buy them from germany?
  2. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Not really. Remember, air bases can also serve as airports (for example, Burlington International in the United States, which obviously allows for useful commercial activity and can significantly defray the expense of building the air base. Also, given the range of aircraft you don't really need...
  3. The Forge of Weyland

    He wasn't the leader his father was. Not to mention screwing up between the wars and hurting the Belgian defence
  4. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Well with Orion comptley gone who owns the rights to it last live action hit Hannah and her sisters.
  5. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Thanks for clarifying my point for me. Yes the Cambodian supply route is a problem. In a lengthier post on another thread I talked about the USN taking more active measures to prevent arms shipments by sea. Imposing cargo inspections was something well within the means of the USN, Coast Guard...

    Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    It isn't simple. After WW II, Packard made high quality Autos, 20k workers in Detroit to make 200k vehicles. 60 years later, a Honda plant in the USA needs 4k workers in Marysville to make 400k vehicles, that are of a quality Packard couldn't hope to match That Packard complex has been...
  7. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Maybe Egypt can be a semi-autonomous tax condominium (like Cyprus was) between the romans and the crusaders. From a military standpoint, the Romans can occupy the coastal cities and the crusaders can settle the hinterlands along the Nile. If memory serves this was the otl partition plan for...

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

    Sort of. What I meant was that if Henry saw Richard I as a hero, then Marie would do the same, but it comes to the same thing in terms of wanting to name her son for the Lionheart. Thank you! Oh no, they're making it to the altar - although that happens off-screen. As per my current plan...
  9. The Forge of Weyland

    What a ridiculous self-own by Leopold there.
  10. Feeble Constitution - A Red-and-Green Russia 1917 Timeline

    That reminded me-- there's still a war going on the Middle East, right? How's that going? Though if that's the subject of a future update, don't feel like you have to answer right now. ;) I didn't see that coming... Were the Moscow and Petrograd SR organizations emboldened by Savinkov's...
  11. Alternate Armoured Vehicles of Nations

    In normal use you can use kerosene or diesel so commonality with other vehicles should be fine. Both are safe as fuel armour. Gasoline is only in emergency. Btw this would be useful for recon vehicles too, to get insane mobility.
  12. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Not to mention some places in indonesia have a les than stellar regional stability record though on the argument side i do get it maintaning a ship this size is expensive
  13. What are some likely convergences?

    My point is a make up many natural borders for states that never existed. And what constitutes one seems very arbitrary. For example people often complained that China stayed unified because it was boxed in by geography. Well I can say the same thing abouts India

    Threadmarks: 28th May 1940 Part 3

    28th May (Part 3) Belgium It had been disconcerting to the German command that 1st Armoured had driven back the attack of 9th Panzer so quickly, despite the division having had time to prepare itself for an attack. While the British had advanced more slowly and cautiously than they would have...
  15. Scenario: How does a Japan divided into Eastern/Western Blocs post-WWII develop?

    In this timeline, Operation Downfall happens (let's say the Manhattan Project was grossly behind schedule) and in the end, Japan is split in a similar way to Germany: The communist North Japan encompassing Hokkaido and the top half of Honshu including the area around Tokyo, and the capitalist...
  16. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Speaking of France and Britain, some things I notice whenever Italy gets mentioned: Venice annexed to AH, and the whole country being given the Versailles treatment just for switching sides.

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Well they did protect the hindus during the 1920 Malabar revolt when the Mappilas plundered Hindu areas of Kerala. Nonetheless, i Digress, the British were exposed to hinduism as conquerors, yes, but they were exposed and did export its study into Europe. Many Indian scholars in Europe regarding...
  18. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Agreed. Some people have mentioned that it's not nessecary since they can have land based aircraft, but it sounds more expensive to me to put permanent airbases throughout every single island than it does to have a few helicopter carriers patrolling sections of the country.
  19. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Again your giving a good account of the Communist strategy for the guerrilla war. What your not taking into account is the flow of men, and material into the South along the HCM Trail. Without those supplies, and reinforcements the insurgency is small potato's. Cutting the Trail in Laos, ends...
  20. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Yet, to win the war in both the shortest possible time and minimal casulties (on both sides) the most effective approach can indeed require the targetting of the human talent (eg. RAF raid on Peenemunde, USAF targetting of Yamamoto). NB Bomber Harris / RAF was dedicated to 'dehousing' == the...
