  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Yes , roads/railways don't suddenly appear because you have more men/supplies, they were maxed OTL, its why they had 3 army groups so they could use 3 separate logistic chains. Living off the land is cobblers , the main issues were things like fuel and spare parts which don't grow on trees.
  2. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Yeah, the 'window of opportunity' was only an issue if you were intent on having a war. Hitler drops dead in early 39' Germany plays nice and the Western nations start worrying more about the threat of Communist revolution than German expansionism.
  3. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    I have known for some time that there was a rather abortive effort by the British to recruit a foreign legion from United States citizens/residents during the Crimean War and that it had gone rather less well than their effort to recruit Swiss, German & Italian Legions during the same conflict...
  4. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    Why would incumbent.Nixon have lost in 1960? 1956 - assuming Eisenhower didn't run Warren v. Knowland. Suspect conservative natives restless enough to.get Knowland nomination but lose election to.Stevenson.

  6. Map Thread XX

    Yes, haha, but the lands of Siberia are sparsely populated and lack infrastructure. A heartland usually also refers to areas with higher relative development than such places. It is true that cities further east are Russian under my definition, but I do not consider them an essential component...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    The Prince's Crusade was relatively well-organized. As for them turning against the Byzantines, one can hardly blame them. The Emperor left them to die, by extension releasing them from their oaths. It would also be wrong to forget that a Byzantine Emperor briefly negotiated an alliance with...
  8. WI: Eastern Roman Empire Christianizes, West does not

    It is difficult to think how Italy would not christianize when it was one of the places where Christianism took solid roots earlier. Maybe you can have 'less Christian' Gaul and Spain, but I think Paganism was pretty doomed once Christianism reached Italy: in fact, it was doomed earlier than...
  9. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    It’s been pretty inactive
  10. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    So we're assuming Watergate happens but the plumbers don't get caught? And Agnew is still out of the picture by late 1973? In that case, assuming everything stays the same but no Watergate, I'm thinking the Democratic nomination goes to Scoop narrowly and he wins the whole enchilada in a...
  11. AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    Have a Hungarian general being a champion of the Independence war and his descendent a President.

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Well Yorkist victory means more contact with Europe
  13. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    "John Carter". An excelent movie, crippled by one of the worst marketing campaigns in movie history. Give it a proper marketing team and it would easily become a hit.
  14. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Yes to SOUTH (I am not a great navigator, I could find a role in 1941 Bomber Command) Note that the blocking position on the road was cleared by the time a Tommy needed tea.
  15. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I meant that no one is blaming the Xbone’s name for its poor sales. I imagine here with the delay of the year that the Nintendo Wii U would do better than the Xbox One, but not surpass the PS4z I imagine we would still get a Nintendo Switch, though this time in late 2018 or perhaps even late...
  16. WI: The Netherlands Keeps South Africa

    If the British don't take the Cape you don't have the Boertrek. The Dutch Lands might be confined to the Orange River and the Great Fish River. The British have a few options for a waystation in the region. One is Natal, but there's also Walvis Bay and Lourenco Marques.

    Welll.... CRT phosphors is the most obvious one.

  19. WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    Tunisia was a protectorate and gained independence in 1956.
  20. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    A single first-gen fission bomb might stumble the 1944 Soviets a bit, but I can think of no target where it would be able to stop them.
