  1. The Forge of Weyland

    Welcome back @Astrodragon. I hope the last week in Coventry wasn't too awful.
  2. BREAKING THE MOUND: THE BIRTH AND RISE OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY

    Interesting in that the Tories (very) slightly improved on OTL vs Labour but also in that we now have a strikingly early precedent for TV election debates.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Yeah but why would that surprise anyone? My point was that as one of the most powerful people in the country, with basically unlimited access to resources/workshops or the like, he could do what he wanted without much supervision. Which is why he was able to produce the Semple tank, despite...

    what kind of info?
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    I would assume in a government bomb shelter, or quite possibly outside the city, somewhere safe.

    Threadmarks: 14. The Spanish offensive (October 9 - November 26, 1809)

    14. The Spanish offensive (October 9 - November 26, 1809) During July and August, both sides sat down to ponder about what to do next. On the Spanish side, it meant troubles. The Junta Central, which met in Seville, wanted to combine Prince Gabriel's forces with Albuquerque's and the army of...

    And still managed a worse design than that produced by a team put together by a car salesman.

    Nice scenario! Glad I could be of inspiration! :happyblush I find it kind of funny that my Brazilpunk World scenario has become the one that people have taken inspiration from the most (Bruce's RotS world also references it). I've considered doing some more "Nation-punk World"s to try and get...

    Joe Lieberman, Senator from Connecticut and the Democrat candidate in the 1992 Election, which was a landmark one when Clinton, a dark horse third-party candidate narrowly won the election by three electoral votes (but lost the popular vote to Bush). In 1996, he switched party affiliation to...

    @Lusitania When was the monarchy restored?There was a president in the 1960s but during the African War there was a King Duarte II.

    You have to remember that Semple was a pretty powerful guy in NZ at the time and to some degree could do what he wanted. The Ministry of Works was one of the most powerful government departments for much of NZ's history - up till the mid 1980s. They built most of the big infrastructure...
  14. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    +1 on this if all you do is create a 3m man traffic jam you're not getting to Baku
  15. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    I think you are correct. However, would it be possible to base a larger force, including a Panzergruppe in Romania? This could advance mostly along the coast and be supplied by sea once ports like Odessa are taken and restored. Army Groups North and Centre would be a bit weaker and held at...

    I fear we are once again entering the realm of the sentinel derail. Currently we are waiting in Cyrenaica for the next move and I am hoping it is to perhaps see Hermann Balck as the commanding general of the DAK.
  17. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Something like a coup in Venezuela that sends the country spiraling (not exactly an impossibility, they had three of them from 1945-1958) would still have a big impact. They were one of the world's main suppliers at that point. Ditto for Iran. The main reason that the late-40s to mid-60s oil...
  18. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    Fuel efficiency is certainly an advantage of airships. Maybe in a TL where oil is less readily available (e.g., if some big oilfields which were discovered IOTL aren't discovered ITTL, or if the technology for offshore drilling isn't developed), this might lead airships to dominate the...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    How about Michael Mann making this masterpiece in 1995 . . . . after 'Silence of the Lambs' and 'Heat'? Personally, Brian Cox's turn at Lecter blows Hopkins out of the water. Would that have made this film a commercial success?
