    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    True that. And yes, I was pretty damn disappointed too. Unfortunately, this isn't an era where someone's likely to tell Kiki the truth: namely, that she shouldn't feel guilty about it at all, even Kira refusing to talk to her, because quite honestly - mother or not - Kira was a toxic person who...

    Ottomans in CP Victory?

    The Turkish Oil Company and Anglo-Persian Oil Company were two different companies. The former controlled the oil fields in Kirkuk, Damascus and Hejaz whilst the latter dealt with the oil fields in Abadan. he former was controlled by the Ottoman government directly whilst the latter was...
  3. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    How have you get Władysław Vasa with such POD? He'd be butterflied away.
  4. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I thought that scene made them more human. Showed that even the royals can have family troubles. Well, ones that don't turn into wars at least.
  5. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    The driving force behind its creation was Gulbenkian, and the largest single shareholder was the British government-controlled Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which by 1914 held 50% of the shares. (wiki) The British government controlled the Company that controlled the majority of the shares.
  6. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    County, borough and rural district and urban district council elections were held on 7 May 1964. In the election for the London County Council the number of councillors elected for each party were as follows (1961 election): Conservative: 64 (42) Labour: 62 (84) -------------------...
  7. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Wilhelmine Germany being Nazis with better moustaches because Germans are bad France becoming a right-wing dictatorship under the leadership of a WWI veteran because it's what losing nations do Socialist uprisings springing up everywhere because losing nations go left-wing Austria-Hungary...
  8. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I think you're thinking of the He-100D-0. REgarding the D-1, I'll go for wiki becauseI'm away from other sources, but: "The final evolution of the short He 100 history is the D-1 model. As the name suggests, the design was supposed to be very similar to the pre-production D-0s, the main planned...
  9. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    One of my favourites is that if CP's win in a scenario were the UK was not participating the germans will immediately build a fleet to conquer Britain. Even if the war lasted only 2 years it would have been incredibly devastating and cost so much in lives and money that's a very unlikely...
  10. Middle Roman Empire

    isnt that basicle west split in 2 and east mostly intact ? wouldnt it be more viable if the center got greece as part of its domain ? with east entire in asia and africa up to carthage under west perhaps
  11. Dual Kingdom of Scotland and Norway.

    Indeed. This TL may also butterfly the Maid of Norway's own death. As her mother, not she, is Queen of Scots, he may remain in Norway until she is older. Even if not, they probably sail on a different day, and if she has an easier voyage than OTL she may survive. In this case, a marriage to...
  12. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    To summarise, you're saying... The FAA didn't have the 210 front-line aircraft. If the aircraft were available the Mediterranean Sea would have to be given to the Axis powers. A force of four Illustrious class CVs couldn't accommodate 210 aircraft. The best they could have done was less than 90...
  13. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    That's one of the few times I've been disappointed with Louis Sr. He obviously sympathized with Kiki's ambitions and thought that Kira had overreacted by first exiling Kiki to Japan and then doubling down and refusing to talk to her daughter while on her death bed. He really should have...
  14. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    That will indeed be a big difference. But even then, it might still be dismissed as being empty talk. Until even the slightest thing happens of course. Then it's clear evidence that Liberia has to be dealt with to "protect peace and progress" by taking over violently and murdering a ton of...
  15. Have the BL/Austin Maxi as or more successful as the Ford Cortina

    I don't think the Maxi was given the Pininfarina treatment but it would have been an interesting experiment. I do think that styling idiom (later to be seen in more Ferrari Daytona-esque form on the SD1) would have suited Austin if the company really wanted to position itself as a British...

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Scenario: Surviving Francis III, Duke of Brittany. Francis I, King of France (b.1494: d.1547) m. Claude, Duchess of Brittany (b.1499: d.1524) (a), Eleanor, Archduchess of Austria (b.1498: d.1558) (b) 1a) Louise, Princess of France (b.1515: d.1517) 2a) Charlotte, Princess of France (b.1516...

    Thanks! Working on the next update right now! It will certainly be interesting.

    No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    AFAIK, the Carcano rifles bought from Italy arrived to Finland only after the Winter War. Or maybe some of them arrived during the war (sources disagree), but they in any case were not used during the Winter War. So the Soviets would get to capture them only after the summer of 1941, likely not...
  19. Middle Roman Empire

    Yes, but elites in the Central empire still have holdings and the like in what would become the west. That would be a complicating factor. But, of course, it can be overcome. Also not me. It's not really a period I know a lot about (that's more republican Rome (especially the late republic) and...
  20. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I agree for mustard gas, or chlorine and such, but for nerve agents a gas mask won't do any good, one would need a full nbc protection suit. An airfield far behind enemy lines saturated with nerve gas won't be back on line for a long period, while a bombed grass landing strip can easily be...
