  1. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    Yeah, I was about to say, Tom Hanks with a shitty German accent in a Eagle Has Landed spinoff is really the best movie idea we can come up with out of this? How disappointing. How about a Red Dawn/Letters from Iwo Jima love child where Brave Patriotic High Schoolers must fight for their freedom...
  2. Tiberius Gracchus - More Successful?

    The Lex Agraria wasn't just Tiberius's brainchild, the then princeps senatus Appius Claudius was one of Tiberius's original backers and a principal author of the original Lex Agraria. The primary obstacle not just to the land bill but to any reform is the Senate's then predominance over the...

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    I suppose a gamble is a better way to put it, one that paid off big time. Still quite an impressive feat too.
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Adding to this materially the Commonwealth Forces is also in a better position somewhat than OTL as well as adding to the fact the units involved aren't as spent as in OTL as well which means they are in a lot better position there as well.
  5. What if the Soviet Union never existed?

    1. The White Russian government won't have any of the non-Russian countries becoming sovereign, so that what we know as the Russian Civil war doesn't go anywhere, with the White government trying to take back as much as possible, with the Entente not eager to intervene. 2. Russia is sidelined at...

    Threadmarks: Ulster Volunteers

    The divisional commanders of the Ulster Volunteers (UV) met at a secret location in Belfast on Saturday 26 April 1884. They decided that they would target the Commonwealth Party, its allies and associates in Britain and Ireland, because it was the governing party of the UK. On 2 May, UV...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    If you want something nice, clean, and wholesome.... go Humanist Tomsk for glorious Shostakovich workers rights and symphonic unification.
  9. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    But what you claim, that 90% of land was owned by kulaks on the eve of the revolution is COMPLETELY wrong. In 1914 90% of land was owned by peasants and more than 90% of that owned collectively in communes. This number did not reverse itself during the course of the war. You are totally...

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Henry was politically quite shrewd so I don't see it being that incredible. A gamble that ultimately paid off however...

    Scandinavian alliance 1939

    But they couldn't. The whole population of the Nordic countries was c. 18 million. The USSR had c. 170 million, or nearly 10 times the population. The Nordic economy would likely collapse if they suddenly needed to take care of more than, say, a million Soviet citizens and soldiers, let alone...

    Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    Same as UCL OTL, only one game from Quarters on.
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Italian depot at Bardia was taken over OTL, which I've used here too. Will fulfil the same role as having it at Tobruk, though shipping tanks by sea would be easier from Tobruk than Bardia. But if the train line from Marsa Metruh is extended to Sollum, then that would have much the same...

    Threadmarks: Quarter-Finals 2018-19

    Three south american teams entered the Quarter-Finals, but only one escaped. The Albiceleste easily disposed of Ireland in two straight victories, while both Chile and Venezuela's runs would come to an end against both Beneluxian nations, with both the Dutch and Belgians moving on. As for the...

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    No actually. That wasn’t my intention. I was just pointing out how incredible it was that he lost to him. Again I am a Tudor fan, to some in England Henry was just a “random Welsh dude”, named Edward IV who saw him as a nobody.
  16. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    Yes, but the legal pretense has to be that power is devolved from Westminster not sovereign (shared or otherwise). The best hope for a united empire is that they get autonomous powers as sub-parliaments plus token representation, and this is later granted to Scotland and other colonies... and...
  17. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    Why in hell would you have Tom Hanks play a German? He was in neither of TEHL or TGoN, why would he be here? No, the handsome bankable American actors would play the brave defenders, triumphing over the perfidious conniving of the German commandos. Meh, if he plays Germans in these ATL films he...

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Oh were you not trying to imply Richard's inferiority by him losing to a "random Welsh dude" ? Downplaying Tudor to make Gloucester seem lesser? As regards the death of the Princes many of us have talked about the actual facts versus propaganda to the point that while we can assert his...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Thanks for the links very interesting The Port was targeted by the 'then' largest day light Bomber command raid of the war on June 12th (before the siege and Assault in Sept) as a large number of E-boats, 'torpedo-boats' (light dds) and dozens of other craft had been concentrated there and had...
