  1. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    From what I know of the era, Dewey was seen as more of the cold warrior, though I don't see him being too different from Truman. The big if is whether he fires McArthur or not. I don't see him doing so, and as such he probably wins in 1952 and by 1956 we see the Republicans run Nixon against...
  2. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    And the two most heavily decorated DDs in USN history to boot with the Nicholas flat out holding the record for the most battle stars period
  3. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Oh gosh... THIS. Absolutely this! The entire syndicalist faction in the Second American Civil War being named the CSA was originally done by the HOI2 devs as a joke because they just wanted a CSA in the north fighting against a 'Union' in the south. Out of all the things that the new HOI4 devs...
  4. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The twin fuselage Bf 109 seems indeed like a low-hanging fruit.

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

    So is The Little Mermaid just not happening ITTL @Geekhis Khan? That’s really disappointing if that’s the case. Especially since it doesn’t seems what got Ron Clements interested in it was butterflied away. Also, Danny Elfman actually feels much more appropriate for Mort, if I’m honest. I love...
  6. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    I imagine it would have to be FDR or Wallace in the oval office for this too happen. I could see Vietnam as kind of the Jugoslavia of Asia, until China is sorted out. I really like the idea that the Vietnamese would draw closer to the US, as China grows in stregnth. Perhaps in this universe...

    Instead of launching Gettysburg Campaign, Lee relieves Vicksburg

    Of course, they won't marching there. The CSA does have railroads to carry the troops from Virginia to Jackson, Mississippi. The big problem is capacity. Now that I've had time to re-read my copy of "The Chickamauga Campaign: A Mad Irregular Battle" by Dave Powell, I realize that I forgot/should...
  8. The Forge of Weyland

    Awesome! Thank you Astrodragon! I had not thought of using non-88 artillery in a direct fire role, but given the initial German experience with the armour of British tanks, the fact they would make that adjustment makes a huge amount of sense.
  9. The Forge of Weyland

    I think the French might be able to use the ample belgian shell stocks stored in the Antwerp Fortified Area. After all, they use the same artillery calibers as the Belgians. By that point, Billotte should be able to move some good divisions in central and north Belgium. In that point in OTL...
  10. AHC: Resurrection of Pantheistic Stoicism in the Middle Ages

    originally pagan just meant "not christian", same as how gentile meant "not jewish" it's gained a connotation of being polytheistic though the hellenistic, roman, celtic, germanic, slavic, and nordic religions being labeled as such. but in asia minor monotheistic religions such as manichaeism...

    US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    It's not completely implausible. The problem is, in September 1945, Vietnam was waaaay down on the priority list. This was prior to 1947 and the Truman Doctrine, so ideologically, it would have been okay. But in September, we were worried about Japan and the descending iron curtain in Europe...
  12. What if George Soros was never born?

    Does the lack of response mean some people have, umm, overrated this guy's effects on world events?
  13. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    I don't think I made myself clear as I have read timelines about the rail companies consolidation that one of the things could be part of the deal is to have the federal government buy the surplus rail tracks for dedicated passenger rail service and that way there would be no need to shunt...
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I admit to being confused - what is a paper bag test?
  15. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    Yugoslavs were on a different ladder of the racial hierarchies of the day.
  16. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    In the latest update to TNO, a few of the major cities around the world have been given their own localization texts. The following are the once that I was able to find: Germania: Rome: Madrid: New York: San Francisco: Los Angeles: In case anyone ask: No. I couldn't find any special...
  17. AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    As someone who has a Hungarian born father (who while possibly not ethnically Hungarian does speak it), I'll say one path to a Hungarian president is an American born child of refugees from the Hungarian revolution during the 1950s. They could sell both a "worked my way up" story and a similar...
  18. Question for Fester -

    TLDR: As of May 14, 1944 The Western Allies have an army in Greece, two armies in Italy/Adriatic littoral, an army group landing in Normandy, an army group landing on the French Rivera and another army group waiting to be deployed. The Germans have had slightly more success on the Eastern...

    Roger Taney Dies, 1855

    My best guess for Taney's replacement would be Attorney General Caleb Cushing. He was a northerner, but also a Doughface so he can appeal to most factions within the Democratic Party. He lived until 1879, so he would live to see the end of an OTL Civil War and abolition of slavery. Despite being...
