  1. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Excellent post. Looks like as in OTL the British drive on Caen will fall tantalisingly short. IF 21st Panzer is around But, shouldn't the Suffolks and Hussars be heading south? Towards Caen.

    WI: The Netherlands Keeps South Africa

    My 2 cents, most likely the Brits give back the cape, but still, settle the eastern side of South Africa and found Natal. Since the Suez canal hasn't been built, South Africa would be an important stopping point for the Brits, so expect a Western Dutch cape and Eastern British colony. Also...
  3. WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    Give citizenship to the Indochinese as well so you would have Buddhists and Catholic converts to balance out the Muslims lmfao Also a place that gets overlooked in Algerian discussions- what happens in Tunisia? France still owns them too right.
  4. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    If (and it is a big if) Goeben made it back home - perhaps by being recalled earlier I think it quite possible that she would not have been available until well into 1915 as the Germans would have had to give her a serious refit to sort out her dodgy engines. In many ways she probably wasn't...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    Pretty much, yes. So when they realised, they halted the attack and called up the heavier tanks. Its always a tradeoff, less chance of casualties vs speed of advance
  6. [Query] Successful Ottomanization or Turkification of Greece?

    Aravikó Ellinikó is the term that comes up when I google.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    A bit earlier thn OTL, but FOBBIT Based on Desert Storm FOB Weasel, a fake Base, ala FUSAG in WWII to fake out Saddam
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Soviet Union in 1941 was losing very badly and barely held on.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Eh, the Xbox One arguably was a flop. Not on the level of the Wii U, but it’s been outsold by the Switch despite coming out four years later, and was utterly crushed by the PS4 despite almost even sales the previous generation. Ie while the 360 fell only about three million units behind the PS3...
  10. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs
    Threadmarks: Ross

    Joseph J. Ross: 1885-90 - The Lawyer Ross was very much the last of the first generation of True Whigs, he like the rest of them was born in the New World as a free black, though he had arrived in Liberia at a younger age, eight years old, like them he had received a middle class education...

    Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Only one comment. Katyn. Your mileage may vary, but this is from the Independent. The claim is that another mass grave, this one of Beria's young woman victims, was discovered. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Calling Beria a rapist is...
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Well he certainly requested it and that was with Britain fighting in the desert.
  13. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    It's shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. You can easily point to things like the V2 or the botched He 177 program, but honestly its just not going to make that much difference. The fundamental issues are the disparities in resources and the limited size of the German industrial base, coupled...
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    Think Gen. Evan expected to catch 9 Pz on the move not in a defensive position - British may have better tanks but they are still underestimating the pace and speed of reaction of the Germans.

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Let's just say it's enough to keep the Cascades service well-used, even (pre-pandemic) as far up as Vancouver, BC. So in that case HSR would be building up from an already good service (which became what it is since the existing Amtrak services were replaced by a single one using Talgo sets as...

    Operation Bagration?
  17. Without the Ottomans, what happens to the Mamluks?

    That's fair and my mistake. The "decline" of the spice trade was rather a shift in who was doing the trading, and in any case the Dutch direct route was more crucial than the Portuguese muscling in. Both still hurt the traditional powers that be in the area. The Latin Empire was arguably a...
  18. Vietnam WI: Diem without his brother?

    I've done some research regarding South Vietnam in this forum, and while it seems that Ngo Dinh Diem was a "standard" right-wing dictator - a murderous, corrupt bastard as well as a French/American puppet - it looks as if it was his powerful younger brother Ngo Dinh Nhu and his wife Madame Nhu...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I haven't even read the thread, but it's somehow not surprising that a discussion about WW2 eventually ends up talking about the Roman Empire.
  20. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Honestly I still don’t understand the naming conventions of the Xbox line (I find the console redundant since I have a high-end PC). Again I think it was just a matter of marketing to tell us filthy casuals that there’s a difference. =P
