  1. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Mistakes: V2, heavy tanks (at least the designs what saw frontline combat), He 117 with it's engines, day fighters Me 110/210/410, too many cartridge types in use from 20mm on, vast array of truck types, Me 163. Making military transport aircraft from same material as the combat aircraft, and...
  2. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    "We've got Nelson stationed in Alaska, in case Boney tries to surprise us by coming via the North Pole." (Yes, I know, wrong pole, but still...) Good on them for finally wiping out the dishonour of the Emu War. That defeat had stained the reputation of human arms for too long.
  3. The Plantagenet Succession

    Henry VII's third son was Somerset; we have Prince of Wales and Duke of York already, so Somerset seems appropriate next.
  4. Earliest possible nuclear reactor?

    There is a natural nuclear reactor in Africa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor Perhaps some geologists could discover it sooner, studying it would provide knowledge for building a manmade one.
  5. WI: Eastern Roman Empire Christianizes, West does not

    The division of the Roman Empire was never permanent (legally, there were never two Roman states -- just one ruled by two Imperial courts for administrative ease). Besides, two Imperial courts had already been set up both before Constantine came to power and before the Edict of Salonica. Not...
  6. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Thank you. That translation was a bit hard to follow, but I got the gist of it.

    AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    I thought of this too... he was certainly the most popular Hungarian throughout the 19th Cent, after he visited the States after 1848. Being a descendant of the "Washington of Hungary" would certainly be attention-getting...

    AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    Lajos Kossuth settles in America and has kids?
  9. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Did Boeing get taken over by MD with their own money in this tl? Because if they did it's very fanciful that they wouldn't completely mess up any project. If they avoided MD they might still be a vaguely functional organisation.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    I'm withholding giving direct answers here because MUAHAHAHA. >:D Stay tuned.
  11. Alternate Hundred Years War with England-Scotland Personal Union

    I believe the Capations claim to France is through the female line and that Charles of Lorraine should have been king and not Hugh the first of France.
  12. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I'm creating the situation where Shatner will demand that Bennett produce the movies from the start. Shatner will trust Bennett a lot more than he trusts Roddenberry and will pull a power play with Paramount to install Bennett as the man in charge of Trek. Roddenberry will try to produce...
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    the way she bosses Kermit around makes her look like a drill sgt though lol
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    If (big if) Italian North Africa is cleared by early 1942 then would we see a reverse Torch with a British (and Free French of course) invasion of French africa from the East So we may still see a campaign in 1942 but in Algiers rather than Tunisia / El Alamein
  15. Earliest possible nuclear reactor?

    When reading about the Chicago Pile, the first manmade self-sustaining fission reaction, it seems like it was far less complicated (although still a considerable feat) and required much less labor to construct, due to the fact that uranium did not have to be enriched, no extremely accurate...
  16. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    She wouldn't. Wouldn't even take a commission. Combat boots and MREs? Not this pig!
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    During the war it probably isn't, the Meteor hit over 800hp OTL post war but that was in the 60's IIRC. Even a diesel Meteor should be good for 500hp ±25hp which to be fair is more than enough for a tank in the 35 ton range. You could push it more but it depends on if you want too. Even non...

  19. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    Indeed, going with polymer ammo brings a notable save in weight once the infantrymen start carrying many dozens, if not hundreds of rounds. What kind of weapon for it you have in mind? Ammunition for the 'battle rifles' might became a bit more infantry-friendly (lower recoil, better...
