  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Might buy them a month I guess as fundamental strategy problems are still going to take the war effort apart even if better supplied. If Russia is delayed (since as OTL all but the kitchen sink will be focused there) I guess the Allies might take the Czech lands and a bit more of Germany. A...
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    On the other hand with a earlier victory in North Africa and the British not needing to send as much material (fighters, tanks and trucks of their own production) to their army in North Africa means they can send more of them to the Russia via the Arctic convoys (and with the better...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I could see a small, deniable, team being sent to observe the Chileans in high command in Santiago, well away from the front lines, however this would lead to a flawed assessment.
  4. AHC: Resurrection of Pantheistic Stoicism in the Middle Ages

    the problem is your instinstance on neo-paganism. there's probably a way to fit Pantheistic Stoicism into middle ages philosophy, but it would likely be a heretical movement instead
  5. What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    An Albanian-speaking Orthodox population that was scattered through much of modern Greece, sided with the revolution for the most part, and is largely assimilated in OTL.
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    me too ......... apparently he's in mid re-write of Foresight War

    Have the BL/Austin Maxi as or more successful as the Ford Cortina

    Looks like he did . . . . believe it or not he designed the SKODA Favourit! The Aquila & Favourit look like they were parted at birth!
  8. The Forge of Weyland

    Well, we know that the 88s were distributed as 12 per corps. In "Panzer Divisions- the Blitzkrieg Years" the majority of the attached flak units are described as "leichte", light. There were not that many of them even in May 10th with zero casualties. The 88s were also distributed as 12 per...
  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Germans lost 230k with the fall of Tunis, those troops didn’t contribute any further to the Germans war effort. So even if they get used as replacements or anti partisan units or strengthening the flanks of the sixth army at stanlingrad they are more useful. Logistics sucked in the east...
  10. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    It seems not many , notice this 1953 war is fought with 1940 or even 1930ties type of weapons and technology? There is more than a decade of peace and progress in most parts of Europe and USA. And still Germany uses a bomber prototype from 1936 while there are much modern planes flying around...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Actually, casualties for the Tunisian Campaign amount to 290K-362K. Further, there was over 52K casualties in 1941 (some of these will still be taken, but probably not all), plus nearly 80K in 1942 (none of whom would be committed here). So the total number of men the Axis will be up on OTL is...
  12. Middle Roman Empire

    By this point the Spain, Gaul and Africa were thoroughly assimilated and there was no real difference in terms of loyalty to the concept of the Roman Empire as for Dalmatia it produced a disproportionate amount of Emperors and was the largest single source of Legionary recruits inside the Empire...
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    We're not well equipped for mountain warfare and most of the Balkans are in the Axis. Doubtless if we're in Greece in '44 Bulgaria and Romania invite us in (and we probably get Albania) but beyond that its better to focus on fronts where quick progress can be made. For one thing the Nazi's will...
  14. Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    Im not at all sure that without Islam the arabs would be united. Its very doubtful. Even if they united the fanaticism that invoked was of great use to them in fighting their wars. Dont forget that tough ultimately they ended up winning massivly OTL it was a close run thing. Yarmouk was a 6 day...
  15. Middle Roman Empire

    That depends on the assumption that barbarian tribes and kingdoms would march on Rome together, which would not be the case in practice. In addition, Italy also has defensible natural borders, which could be strengthened with fortifications - this would have been the case as the Alps would now...
  16. WIP Map Thread

    Progress in Northeast Asia, Libya and the Nile. - Northeast Africa is a hodgepodge of various states, ranging from the Arab *Tripolitania, that yellow one in Egypt, and Nabataea, to the Berber and Nilo-Saharan states of Fezzan, Tibesti, and Darfur, as well as Coptic Egypt, Christian Nubia, that...

    WI: Henry, Duke of Cornwall survived?

    Nothing, I think that was just the first date that came into my head. Though IIRC there was a plague out break in 1598, so...
  18. WI: Henry, Duke of Cornwall survived?

    Damn, what happens in 1598 since everyone is dying?
  19. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    He wanted the presidency and Dewey could have done some things that pissed him off So he could decide to run as a Democrat. Also remember it was Eisenhower who let the dogs loose on McArthy so even he had his limits when it came to anti-communism
