    What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?
    Threadmarks: What was the American thinking about the use of the tank?

    Article. US Army Tactics WWII This is a British view of the American army, colored by WWI observations. The WWI American army was amateur hour and it was a largely mob supported human wave assault army helped by French advisors and lots of artillery and airpower. This was not the professional...
  2. What if no St Nazaire Raid in 1942

    An air raid had been considered and dismissed as not offering a great enough chance of success. They didn’t come up with Chariot for a laugh. It was decided it was the only way to guarantee the destruction of the dry dock. Combined Operations examined several options while planning the...
  3. What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    No they didn’t. They sign the agreement (which had been negotiated over several days previously) on the day the ships were impounded. The agreement that talked of Russia and nothing else. They then did nothing until Souchon bombarded the Black Sea ports in October. Two months (nearly 3 - from...

    Threadmarks: 2 March 1941. Pembrokeshire, Wales

    2 March 1941. Pembrokeshire, Wales In the summer after Dunkirk, when there was a dearth of tanks, three Motor-Machine Gun Brigades had been formed. One of these was made up of three Cavalry Regiments (5th Dragoon Guards, 15/19th Hussars, 1st Fife and Forfar Yeomanry) which, as the 2nd Light...

    Or to be more precise is the growing industrial sector in Greece will lead to a more efficient mining sector?

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Equal case in point, why every time a foreign fleet or army showed up it could count upon local revolts/uprisings/backing?

    Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    yeah i know. I was thinking more on the lines of Britain rewarding Zafar for his loyalty by keeping him and his descendants as a neo-princely state confined to Delhi and its outskirts
  8. What if no St Nazaire Raid in 1942

    Well, I appreciate your confidence. Probably, yes, some bombs would hit. Whether it would be enough to make a difference is hard to say. It could also be fairly costly. A port is a high priority area for AA guns. Neither option is without risk, but given the relative technologies and skills of...
  9. Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    Not sure rhe British would keep the Mughals around as they’d told bahadhur shah that they intended to make him the last emperor

    Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    This is a very hard thing to do, but let's say that Bahadur Shah Zafar rejects the Sepoys and aids the British to putting the Sepoys down. Let's say for the sake of the thread, Zafar manages to hold Delhi in a siege using his personal troops and the small British detachment in the city for as...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    And 1934 too? I just saw that Italy and Greece were alone in their group, which means one would qualify only at the other's disadvantage. In the context of this TL increased defiance between the two countries, that could feel hard as an humiliation for the Greeks. No way as far as the Football...
  12. AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    The "Domino Theory" ignored that Marx said that only states that were industrially developed could stage a successful Marxist revolution.

    AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    @Mad Bad Rabbit Respectfully, you probably meant United States Army Special Forces aka the Green Berets, right? Plus Delta Force, which was formed from personnel of the Green Berets on November 19th, 1977 might be the called for ITTL instesd depending on when exactly like OTL with the Hostage...
  14. What if no St Nazaire Raid in 1942

    True but some bombs will hit the dry dock and damage it and also the yard located next to it.
  15. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I don't like the idea of disney buying the family channel since they already have the disney channel . Also disney also bought the family channel in OTL. I feel that Berkshire Hathaway , Warner, MCA are the best bets becauses they have a large cartoon libbary's.
  16. What if no St Nazaire Raid in 1942

    That very much depends on the accuracy. Which was not the bombers greatest strength at this point.
  17. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    Since 1 June 1945 when Israel became an independent with Tel Aviv as its capital, and Palestine became an independent nation with Nablus as its capital, the two countries have been at peace. Also on 1 June 1945, Jerusalem became the Free City of Jerusalem, administered by the...
