  1. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    This is wrong (the article you linked to, not the quote that has pulled through) in the context of 1941 Operation Barbarossa. Barbarossa was based on the assumption that by capturing Kiev, Moscow and Leningrad the Soviet Union would collapse. To plan for attacks on the Caucasus oil fields...
  2. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    I always thought that preventing the interruption of immigration (by WWI) or at least resuming it at similar levels would be the key. Canada didn't seem to fill up her frontier as completely as the US did, imo.
  3. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    Sigh , as stated previously it is not possible to put many more troops on the Southern Front. Does not matter that you have the troops, if the roads etc mean they cannot get to the front. Remember also the more troops , the more supplies needed and road capacity used by troops is road capacity...

    So here's the premise. A bunch of people end up in way different places after Rome falls. Featuring: intact Frankish realm; Slavs in Germany;

    Richard II never specified if they could inherit the throne or not. This guy in the Richard III society agrees with me that they legally could inherit. http://www.r3.org/on-line-library-text-essays/back-to-basics-for-newcomers/the-beaufort-legitimation/

    Yes, but never allowed to inherit the crown and all the people that i have mentioned are legittimate descendents so they should come before the Beauforts, the fact that Tudor had the greatest claim among the Lancastrians It's all a lie made by him
  7. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    This alternative scenario takes place in 1941 as an alternative to a three-pronged assault. I would read that as the major effort takes place in the south. These troops would do better than OTL because there would be more troops/Panzers which were originally assigned to AG's centre and north...

    I'm curious what the policy is around whether people of other races can enter the country after marrying one of its citizens.
  9. British Empire in WW2 using colonial forces across pacific and european theatres in much larger numbers

    In relation to Canada, there was some room. In number of troops per capita and money spent per capita, Canada lagged a bit behind even Australia and New Zealand. Even in war production per capita there was slack in the system at some points. The issue generally was that we were not staring at a...
  10. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    The problem is when all you have is bad options the other bad options don't make the last one better in it's own right It's near enough 3000 km to Baku on Russian roads from German starting positions. The German army even with the advantages of one prong can't make that in their first campaign...
  11. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    On the "WWII torpedo on a Pucara" thing: don't forget the Belgrano was sunk by a british Mark VIII torpedo, essentially also a WWII weapon...
  12. It's The North. They're different up there: A British TV TL

    @PNWKing I'll have a look at that @Peg Leg Pom I understand what you're saying about the coverage of TPT. Some of the old ABC mocks on forums such as The Mocks Factory labelled the area as "Central Northern England" In reality as we know ABC covered "the north and the midlands" at weekends...
  13. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    In this scenario, the Germans would most likely ship it across the Black Sea which would be under their full control. Extracting oil from the Caucasus would take considerable effort but considering the importance of getting unlimited oil reserves shipped back to Germany etc., I am sure the...
  14. GOP position on abortion in a timeline where Moral Majority never took off

    I would imagine that the issue of abortion becomes relatively divisive for a time (a split exists among members of both parties based on where they are in the country), then both parties generally move toward pro-choice positions over time. For the record though, McCain was very much pro-life...
  15. 1217: a Marshal Monarchy

    Marshal and his missus controlled most of South Wales and a goodly chunk of Ireland, enjoying largely cordial relations with the indigenous Celtic peoples of both (Isabel herself being half-Celt herself must have helped), not to mention large tracts of Angevin France. When he was effectively...
  16. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    A general election was held in Ireland on Wednesday 19 September 1943. The number of seats in the Dail won by each party and independents were as follows (May 1939 general election): Fianna Fail: 52 (51) Labour: 45 (56) Fine Gael: 41 (49) Clann na Talmhan: 18 (n/a) Independents: 5 (5)...
  17. Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    There have been multiple cases of Greek Phalanxes beating Roman Legions and there have been multiple cases of Roman Legions beating Greek Phalanxes. Since Rome conquered the Greek world, some people believe it's because the Roman legion was tactically superior due to its terrain flexibility and...
