  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The mad ideas on dispersing the artillery didn't exactly help the 8th army, either. Or (once panic was setting in and Rommel was on the offensive) breaking other things up and spreading everything out so Rommel could defeat things piecemeal at his convenience... Some serious command problems...
  2. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    If Turkey gets a carrier, then Greece would probably want one too, at least during most of the Cold War.

    Ottoman Empire & Austria-Hungary collapse naturally?

    The USSR is an outlier. A strange case of a nation euthanizing itself. Yugoslavia though I'd still chalk up to outside forces. Not so much forces trying to break the SFRY, so much as the sudden disappearance of the forces holding the SFRY together. Since its inception Yugoslavia's premise had...
  4. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    I mean the only member besides the Union obviously, hence why they're kept around, they're living up to the tenets of Pinnacle Race to set forth and achieve Manifest Destiny. Yes they're America's far junior partner but they're a big fish in a small pond when it comes to the rest of the League.
  5. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    I can't image a small team of officers when tasked with planning a defence for the Falklands would decide that the best defence is to destroy the runway on Ascension, complete with detaining large numbers of Americans while they did so. If they did the Junta would likely upbraid them for being...
  6. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    The British considered the 1st Continental Congress illegal, they didn't care what the Colonials wanted. Virginia was in state of revolt by November of 1775. All 13 Colonies were in effective revolt by the beginning of 1776. The Galloway resolution would have been rendered mute by events.
  7. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    The problem with any plans that involve Accession is rather simple attacking what's effectively a US base even if you don't kill any Americans will piss off the US. Given how the Argentine government was in large part backed by the US......yeah whomever is in charge is getting couped
  8. Empire of Liberty: A French Revolution TL

    The Flight to Montmedy and the Coup of 3 July On 20 June 1791, King Louis XVI of France, his queen Marie Antoinette, and their immediate family successfully escaped Paris in order to initiate a counter-revolution at the head of loyal troops under royalist officers concentrated at the stronghold...

  10. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    The Dutch most certainly did, in the late 60s they had 6 subs, 2 cruisers and 12 destroyers as well as their carrier, they only lost West Papua in 1962, retained islands in the Carribean and had an Atlantic NATO role throughout the Cold War. Spain, Argentina and Brazil have oceanic coastlines...
  11. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    *stares in Republican Union* I might be wrong, but I think Victoria II allows for spheres of influence
  12. Have Pontiac Motor Company continue to be a viable company up to the present

    Instead of making Pontiacs just rebadged Olds and Chevy’s with more plastic cladding, beat Chrysler to the punch and make Pontiac what Dodge is to today’s Chrysler—a performance-oriented brand with a pony car, sports sedans, and maybe a CUV or two. Pontiac doesn’t need to be a marketshare...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    And that the Mongols fatally overextended themselves.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Was Akira Toriyama involved in either series? Was that why they were executed poorly.
  15. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Here’s to hoping all those deaths come back to haunt the Mongols thrice as hard. Looks like David managed to secure himself a good ally and general. Kartvelia will probably hold with Mamia on the throne but I doubt they can hold long if the Mongols decide to actually kill them once and for all...
  16. Native Americans domesticate gomphotheres

    There were pygmy mammoth on the channel islands off California on Santa Rosae Island they discover proof that they were there at the same time as humans in the form of a couple of cooked mammoth skulls. I guess it would be possible for the locals to capture some youngsters and raft them to the...
  17. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Marie of Brittany, now who I have checked her, sound a very good option for Edmund. George and Richard need to marry heiresses, but Edmund has already Rutland and is not unlikely to receive Ulster together with the Dukedom of Clarence as Edward will need him as lieutenant in Ireland so a foreign...
  18. 1217: a Marshal Monarchy

    Marshal by this point had been the architect of the original Magna Carta, negotiating carefully and with considerable political skill on behalf of the barons, reissued it again in revised form in 1217, and as Henry's Regent was doubtless also responsible for the Lambeth treaty under which Louis...

    WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    Even if Leningrad is taken, there are really no Finnish troops available for anywhere outside the areas the Finns fought in and occupied IOTL. Finland will not send troops to fight for Moscow. If the Finnish Army has to get involved in occupying Leningrad, it would even be more pressed for men...
