    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    They were typically lower displacement, high RPM engines, a bad way to go to get HP, when more torque is really what is desired to move heavy vehicles effectively British should have used the RR Buzzard as a base for a tank engine, 2239 cubic inches and 1140 pounds, 800 hp in aero form, easy...
  2. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    Austria might let Murat keep southern Italy, but more than that is going to be tougher I suspect.
  3. American Venezuelan Filibuster

    It would descend into a guerrilla nightmare for any occupier this case Americans, Britain would just ship weapons and supplies to any insurgency until it succeeded to throw away American domination (specially taking into consideration how will america be by Mid to Late XIX century regarding...
  4. Can you think of any way where the CSA and Britain go to war and the CSA doesn’t win, but survives the encounter like the USA did in the War of 1812?

    The Union's opinion would be critical. If they stay out of it the Confederacy survives as an independent state - Britain will have no interest in annexing it, though may dictate emancipation at bayonet point. Whatever passes for a navy or merchant marine in the Confederacy last six months or so...
  5. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    You're right. I meant Alexander I. The interesting thing here is if France keeps the "natural borders" in some sort of compromise peace as the OP suggests. Is, under those circumstances, a united Italian peninsula as a counter weight to France more valuable to Austria and/or Prussia than a...

    AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    For the sake of brevity, let me quote Wikipedia: The Cuban Revolution propelled Fidel Castro to power on January 1, 1959 but initially attracted little attention in Moscow. Soviet planners, resigned to US dominance over the Western Hemisphere, were unprepared for the possibility of a future...
  7. What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    So you think the cause to enter the War was the vote and that vote depended on the seizure of the Warships to go in favour of Enver. Not a response to the Russian declaration of War in response to the Ottoman attacks in the Black Sea?
  8. AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    There are problems in getting the uk into the euro, but if it joins, the acceleration would force everyone else in. It would make for a better run currency (less German influence, a better, no scratch that, a less bad currency area). The reasons why Turkey isn't joining haven't and won't...
  9. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    Perhaps Bernadotte, since he was a fellow marshal who became king of Sweden. Austria also, as I think in OTL they didn't mind having Murat has king of Naples, although the british complained a fair bit. As for Alexander 1st of Russia or other great powers I'm not so sure.

    Latest date to save the late Ming Dynasty?

    Have Ming go isolationist like Japan did.

    Threadmarks: Chapter Four: A Tragic Comedy

    The Last Stand: September 15th 1993, 14:45. Last Remnants of the April 3rd Free Regiment, Near Baskal The resistance fighters had been demoralized since the disappearance of Anyar two weeks ago. But they remembered his methods and spirit, and the more religiously aware of the group, said that...
  12. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    That is a very good question. A major butterfly would have been a more thorough exploitation of the bauxite deposits. This is a strategic resource with geopolitical implications.
  13. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I was looking back at this and a have a few questions: Why are there so many Green Party governments across Europe? (I'm assuming here that most European politicians have similar views to their OTL counterparts) Why does Finland have such a right-wing government? And am I right to assume that...

  15. American Venezuelan Filibuster

    I just figured that since wannabe conquistador Walker managed to hold Nicaragua for a year some dumb luck in South America could lead to an interesting 1860's and beyond.
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Putting these good points together with the problems with the A15 makes me wonder about a "fix" for both issues. Use the A15 as a heavy element with Armoured car/reconnaissance units. Say 1 squadron (company) per regiment (battalion). Like a cruiser supporting a destroyer flotilla? Or whatever...
  17. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    A little bit too early for AII: he was not even born. 😜 You probably meant AI but what would be the incentive for him? Bernadotte proved his usefulness at the most critical moments (allowing Alexander to move troops from the Swedish border in 1812 and pretty much saving Berlin in 1813; for...

    AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    Exactly what it says; with a PoD after 1776, have a president be a Hungarian-American or of partial Hungarian descent.
  19. AHC/WI Reversed Cold War: Democratic Russia, Totalitarian America

    Would Authoritarian Socialist (Communism not truely existing this tl) revolutions in France and Germany be possible since the red scare has likely been avoided? That could lead to war. Also how exactly would you contain Japan since it's suicidal militarism made them believe that war with both...
  20. Impact on Japan if the Emperor and Imperial monarchy was dismantled following WW2

    Of course it didn't work in real life, it creates a question over Hirohito's war responsibility, because if his post-war emphasis on the role of constitutional monarch are only being forced by the Americans, what does that says about his true feelings, and about his actual role during the war...
