  1. Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    If Germany is willing and able to help by sending them weapons and possibly troops depending on how the front lines look, I highly, highly doubt they will just roll over. Giving up to a power like Stalin’s USSR when there is any realistic hope of coming out on top isn’t in human nature and it’s...

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Ah yes, of course! In which case, Brittany works very nicely. Burgundy for Meg as OTL and keep the triangular anti-French alliance going?
  3. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    That my be a to obvious a plot but it would y interesting if Richard or Edward get killed. My be reverse what happened historically but their have already been massive divergence. In OTL Richard III Duke of York was not remembered as king Richard III of England and Margaret Beaufort was married...
  4. What would the Treaty of Berlin look like if Germany chose to back Russia's claims?

    You mean to the south rather than to the east, I think? They can't give them Novi Pazar, that would worry Austria-Hungary, and certainly not parts of Bosnia. Another interesting question is what happens to the Bulgarian Exarchate. That's really more important than whatever polity is established...
  5. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Otl she was yes, but ttl she was originally betrothed to Henry Beaufort, Earl of Dorset as a means of reconciliation, but with that betrothal now broken, she's free as a bird. Was thinking Suffolk's married elsewhere, though not entirely sure. Oh?
  6. WI: Henry Fitzroy had had a son?

    Richard III and Elizabeth of York was a totally different situation (as Elizabeth and her siblings had been declared illegitimate by their uncle). In any case we are in very different times, with a minimal age difference and Elizabeth and Fitzroy sr had different mothers.

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Oh dear. I sense a Wakefield on the way... Also, I love the ideas of these matches, but was Elizabeth not married to Suffolk by now?

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    There's a crapton of Madness potential with Dwight alone, given his intense sense of loyalty and patriotism, but Ryan is easily the Maddest of them all. I mean, he does drugs, engages in illegal corporate practices, and would step on anyone's fingers if it meant he would climb higher up the...
  10. What would the Treaty of Berlin look like if Germany chose to back Russia's claims?

    I guess that might satisfy all involved parties for the time being, until the ITTL Krushevo uprising equivalent. The Ottoman enclave in the western Balkans (I don't know when that designation became commonplace for the whole peninsula -- the whole of the Balkan mountains are in Bulgaria ITTL)...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 117: A Father's Desire

    Chapter 117: A Father’s Desire November, 1459 “It seems that Coventry has become a bastion for the Lancastrians now. At least under Buckingham and Shrewsbury.” Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury said, looking down at the letter his son had sent him. “How?” The King asked. “Shrewsbury and...

    WI: Henry Fitzroy had had a son?

    Ooh. Now there's a thought. Although, would the English have accepted an aunt-nephew marriage? They weren't keen on even the rumours that Richard III wanted to marry Elizabeth of York?
  14. AHC: reverse the fates of Eastern and Western Europe

    Well if we are doing a pod before 300 BC you could be quirky about it and do a new world wank to set up a later sunset invasion of Western Europe that coincides with the viking invasions from the north (have the caliphate solidify its control in Southern Europe on top of this is you want to turn...
  15. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    The death toll in the Philippines was much smaller than that from the Columbian exchange. In a modern era with birth control pills, yes. Keep in mind that developing countries are not a perfect analog for the world before the industrial revolution and comparing a modern developing nation with...

    AHC: competent Red Army by 1939

    Right nail, but missed with the hammer. Mortars, lots of mortars. A better machine gun. Those are the tools, but the real deal is in the technique. communications for one thing, and basic how-to-fight drills. Comes down to training, training, training, and more realistic training. Even if...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    One huge fallacy in Lindemann's assessment was that the assumption was that all bombs dropped on an urban area would cause new damage, rather than simply moving already demolished rubble. There is a law of diminishing returns in action when bombing area targets in that the more damage you do the...
