  1. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    Mrs Alice Richardson was 59 years old and the widow of a wealthy business man. She had four adult children. She gained Fulham from the Commonwealth Party in the April 1882 general election by a majority of 142. In the House of Commons she did not speak on Irish issues. She specialised in...
  2. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    By end of 1483, Elizabeth of York and Maximilian of Austria's marriage is likely finalized. Which means that Dickon either needs to be insanely stupid or stupidly insane to try his OTL stunt. Max won't be able to be bought off (like James IV) with the promise of Margaret of Clarence or a de la...
  3. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I find Britain to be far more plausible candidate. Sure the French wouldn't be happy about losing, but they'd have lost two wars in a row to Germany, and I don't think they'd be clamoring for another. Britain on the other hand would not have badly lost two wars in a row to Germany...
  4. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Regarding the Fw190, what you're sugesting is a new design. The correct way would be for the OTL FW190 to stay, and for the LW to order a next generation DB601/605 fighter to replace the the Bf109. A German built Ki-61 sounds good, and a German built Re.2005 or G.55 analogue with the good...
  5. Lionel Murphy saves Whitlam through the use of NSW Inc.

    It's because of the way you write, IMHO. I think we (being the regular Australians here at least) get that you have a strong interest in certain episodes in our history, but it also reads like you have an axe to grind.
  6. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    In that case, What religion would the monarchy and his family follow ? And would they even try to convert anyone ?
  7. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    Even the Ahnenerbe looks saner that Patton's dreams... I wonder that Dr. Jones is doing in this verse.
  8. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    To complete the Kaiserreich trifecta, Germany decisively winning against the Entente in 1917/1918. No, sorry. That was not going to happen. As I've said time and time again, the German Empire of 1918 was a starving nation verging on revolution. The failures of the Kaiserschlacht showed that...
  9. Lionel Murphy saves Whitlam through the use of NSW Inc.

    I'm sorry that it reads like spam for you. Three of Australia's state governments suffered serious institutional police and government corruption between 1946 and [the thirty year rule.] These corruptions were largely related to sex, gambling, property development and incidental murder...
  10. Antony444

    In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    Strategic Dilemma (the Brazilian Civil War 1921-1922) As the year of 1921 ended, the UPNG government found itself in a very delicate situation. They had expected a war between the Brazilian Imperials and the Russians, but while diplomatically this was exactly what happened, the reality on the...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Yes the AEC Matadors - didn't Rommel use a couple as his mobile CP?
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    If any here has not read the Assault on Keren and the infantry assaults on the 3 sub peaks of Mount Sammana that dominated the cross roads its an eye opener Especially when you consider that the Attackers were outnumbered nearly 2 to 1 by the defenders That it is virtually unknown is tragic IMO
  13. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Your correct, we fought the war on the enemies terms, we should have fought it on our terms. Land reform, anti corruption, along with civil defense programs were the key to pacifying the countryside. by 1973 the VC were effectively gone, the South was conquered by the NVA. By then it was too...
  14. Lionel Murphy saves Whitlam through the use of NSW Inc.

    This reads like spam, fascinating though it is.
  15. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Well that's a waste of a tank and should be handicapping the British rather than aiding. A general commanding multiple brigades in combat and co ordinating supporting arms needs to be in a proper headquarters with his staff around him. No commander above battalion level should be in a tank and...
  16. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    @John Gault read the wiki page on the War cabinet crisis, May 1940 - it'll give you a better understanding of the British attitudes and even what Halifax was actually proposing.
  17. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    The biggest and in my view most tiresome cliché is really the idea that a CP-world would be "better" than ours or even some kind of utopia. Yes, a CP-world will probably butterfly the Holocaust. But there are many other ways in which the world can still go horrible, even without the Holocaust. A...
  18. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    Ok I'll have a go, 1953 sees Joe Craig, head of Norton's race efforts, at the London Motor Show. He is not in a good mood, Norton management seem determined in his opinion to not move forward with the times. While they had reluctantly accepted the Mcandless designed feathered frame they had...
  19. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    That action and the surrender of Italian forces just freed up a tank unit and a goodly number of troops to go to North Africa or Greece depending on how priorities shift.
  20. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    With regards to WMDs Both 'sides' frequently ran cabinet level paper exercises where the 'other side' conducted a first use of WMD and the response was to retaliate and escalate - (the obvious example that many of us would have read is the single nuclear warhead attack on Birmingham, UK in the...
