    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Aircraft are a lot more finicky than ground vehicles or ships. Aircraft are machines that use thrust, mass/gravity, lift, drag and require active control in roll, pitch, yaw and rotation to fly. Training to handle the down force imparted by that chin gun turret on a B-17G as opposed to the...
  2. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    If Warrick never was top dog (Edmund's always there) could Edmund's presence keep Warrick from trying to rule through Edward?

    Have Pontiac Motor Company continue to be a viable company up to the present

    Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! . . . the dreaded Aztec!
  4. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Maybe, if they are lucky and/or good enough. Though to compare the possible benefits and risks of going West verses East, East does seem like the better bet.
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    about time tbf 👏
  6. Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    Plus the front in Poland would be like 500 kilometers long
  7. Sports What Ifs.

    There would be a lot of butterflies before it even got to that point because IIRC the success of the AFL inspired the ABA, which inspired the WHA, which inspired the WFL. So by the time you get to the mid-70’s if none of those leagues have started, you might actually get a competent group...
  8. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    An M16 would be very functional as far as firearms go on the moon. With white furniture to stop it melting in the direct sun of course. It has a spring loaded dust cover to prevent ingress of moon dust as much as possible. Combat ranges on the moon could possibly be actually longer than on earth...
  9. A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline
    Threadmarks: Map of the Anthemius Campaign

    The large outlined areas are the Areas of Roman expansion in Red and Albanian In Yellow, the thinner lines, the light red are that of Anthemius route through Armenia to the battle at Van, and Leo's is the darker red, the route of Vache is the brown one that goes along the Caspian sea and into...

    American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    By using the word “might” it read to me that he thought they “might” go off. Not sure how tiny amounts of radiation are going to make the US think that a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union has occurred. Even if one bomb detonated in the upper middle of the country I don’t see how that would...
  11. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Fukushima is more like what you would expect for a true nuclear disaster, with Chernobyl being an over the top event with very specific circumstances. But I don't think it's really an argument as per OP since society accepts massive disasters and even mass relocations (hydro dam reservoirs) as a...
  12. The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    I really don't get the point of replacing the Q-BAM with an entirely different basemap considering how much work has already been put into the Q-BAM. It will take an extremely long amount of time to redo all of the internal and historical borders. I think it's better suited in its own thread...
  13. AHC: competent Red Army by 1939

    Could the Soviets have feasibly rearmed and expanded sooner though? The 20s and 30s were not exactly smooth for the USSR.
  14. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    But that is *exactly* what the AMC Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse did in roughly the same place and time (Azores and Morocco August 17th through 26th). It was another coal-guzzling ~20,000ton ~23 knot cruiser which broke out into the Atlantic at the start of the war with orders to raid commerce. It’s...

    @PolishPickle101 has completed their map
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Congratulations!
  17. Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    Wrong questions exist?
  18. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I agree that the design is equivalent to the spiked helmet, with the somewhat greater disadvantage of being taller. That helmet looks like it is at least a foot over the infantryman's head. A pickelhaube's spike is significantly thinner and shorter, so it stands out less. This helmet is as if...
  19. UK has advanced solid motors in the 1940's

    Right at the end of the black powder rifle cartridge days (i.e. pre 1886) there was intense research and use in service of solid black powder rifle cartridge charges with variations on hollow cores, annular spaces and open slots. All to modify the pressures and duration of inflagration of the...
  20. American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    ...this size, by itself would not seem likely to send the missiles flying. But if you combine it with something like the Petrov incident, perhaps that *could* set up a cascade of events that triggers an exchange. If General Power or General Lemay were still running SAC, why...THAT might be...
