  1. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    7.35 carcano shares the same basic rim diameter and case base diameter of the 7.62x39 cartridge and it's derivatives. If you want to develop a short, medium bore cartridge that is more compact than the mauser-derived rimless cartridges, it's an easy lift. Getting a smaller diameter rim and case...
  2. Fictional Films and Shows of Alternate nations (Pre-1900)

    While I should note that this non-canon to my TL A Horn of Bronze, the manga/anime Golden Kamuy strikes me as very fitting for a Japanese New World nation. Military/political intrigue, all sorts of conspiracies, and the importance of indigenous peoples in all of it, it's a brilliant Western and...

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Let's just say that both of OTL's major political party is going down a worst path ITTL.
  4. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Giving it a more distinct name would help too. Marketing failed hard on letting non-gamers know it was a new console and not just a different type of Wii console or an add-on.

    Telephone Map Game: 8th Edition

    What's the ETA of the game ending?
  6. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    The FAA was just as capable of conducting a day light attack as the USN and IJN in 1942 if that was required and like those day light attacks probably suffer awful losses as well Lets not forget that the wars best carrier strike plane of the war the Avenger faired no better than the Devastator...
  7. Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    These figures only appeared in response to the success Muahmmad had. They sought to emulate his influence and would purport to being his Prophetic successors. As stated twice prior, the nature of the Islamic society that Muhammed cultivated was ground-breaking in the region. The conflicts that...
  8. Down Under Thunder: Australian Auto Racing
    Threadmarks: New Locations

    The Amaroo Park race was dominated by the V8 class as expected due to the track while short only had two main braking zones so the power of the Commodores and Falcons outpaced the more nimble 2L class cars. The 2.5L BMW could race with the V8 but still dropped down the field with Longhurst being...
  9. The Forge of Weyland

    Well things seem to be going somewhat well in Belgium for the Allies though I imagine the Germans are starting the sweat it remains to be seen whether the mad Austrian Corporal will let them withdraw. I imagine Bomber Command is about to scream like they are being gelded with a butter knife.
  10. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    ...Why? The US recognized Yugoslavia, which is probably the closest situation. I could see there being some domestic backlash, like a much lesser version of “who lost China,” but nothing much, since Vietnam is small and peripheral. Why would this affect NATO in any way?
  11. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    Suffren, Duquesne and Tourville were stuck in port for 3 years; La Galissonnière was taken over by Italy in 1940, but they never finished it's refit, and was sunk by USAAAF air attack in 1944 while in german hands, still in refit. For me, to represent actual french fighting in WWII, I'd go with...
  12. The Plantagenet Succession

    Well, it shows that Edward IV considered Henry (at least) as legitimate - whether he considered the rest, no idea. No, but he WAS the King of England’s uterine half-sibling and his mother was a French Princess. It could have been very dangerous to not acknowledge it, so Edward did. Richard, on...
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I seem to have read somewhere that the War Office 'scientific' guidance (pre-war) for British tanks was 10hp per ton (which exlains why they were all so slow) ..

  16. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    May I give a shot in a possible future? Mitteleuropa Mitteleuropa with Poland, United Baltic Duchy will initially start as a custom union, beneficial to German companies, and at the start a union were German politics can force its political power. Although the political influence will decline...
  17. The Plantagenet Succession

    Richmond had belonged to Henry Tudor’s late father who was without doubt NOT an English royal
  18. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    I want to answer this at length, but I have some important real life to do first. In the meantime I advise you to read Post 36 on Page 2 which provides 150 of the aircraft and the third paragraph of Post 39 on Page 2 that provides the other 60.

    Ottomans defeat Nader Shah

    So unless Nader Shah is killed, he probably just comes back once the Ottomans are distracted?
