  1. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Regarding coaling Goeben past Gibraltar, reading wikipedia about German armed merchant cruisers has provided some ideas but there's a lot of holes in the story. Like, Kronprinz Wilhelm took coal from a "SS Walhalla" (Valhalla?) that is otherwise seemingly unmentioned on the internet on August...

    Moreso in PA, than NY.
  3. The Children of Camelot

    I sort of have to disagree with you there a bit. I think Manuel wants his eldest as empress and his second daughter as Queen of England. The alliance with Spain is a tensy tiny bit more important than England and a second infanta would still be a prestigious match for a very young and new...
  4. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    After I presume, they killed Nancy and kidnapped him from California. the man has Alzheimers and its in its worst stages here... Edit: Also This? Pattaki was Pro Choice as Governor. How again is he a social conservative pick?

    Isabella works great especially if Arthur’s sister marries Charles V.
  6. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    I'm sure people like Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang and probably Elon Musk might become members of the Reform Party in the future. If Frank Zappa was still alive he'd join.

    Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    1. Yes 2. Most likely IIRC Caliph Umar did not want to expand beyond the Zagros Mountains but the Sassanids unwilling to give up Mesopotamia ended such desire of the early Muslims.
  8. English Canada/French Carolina: A Timeline

    I like the sound of what you're saying here, it makes a lot of sense. Without the French and American revolutions, perhaps Leftist forces would be less likely to be champing at the bit for revolution and also anti-religious. I think a German nationalist movement could capitalize on an...
  9. WI: No iPhone

    Smartphones look more clamshell (flip-phone) or with a sliding keyboard. GPS while driving is pretty much gone, you'd have to print out directions beforehand. Texting the way that iMessage does, as an instant messaging service, doesn't catch on and so SMS/MMS remains king. But the big thing...
  10. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    The Mk-108 saved weight by using a shorter barrel that cost some muzzle velocity, range and accuracy That was a real problem when going up against fighters. They also saved late by using a lightweight ammunition linkage which tended to break in high G maneuvers, something very common when going...
  11. The Children of Camelot

    I really hope we get to see Isabella of Portugal as little Arthur's Princess of Wales, I've always had a soft spot for her but I truly think the match is realistically likely to take place under the current circumstances. Her father Manuel really wanted to make her Empress, but I'd say he's...
  12. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    Ive gotta be honest, im a little disappointed with the reform party nominee. I was looking forward to seeing the 2000 version of Trump that was pro-universal healthcare, and pro-choice, but I guess that would be considered current politics, so I understand staying away from it.
  13. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Now that's a man who doesn't fear death.
  14. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    The big trade-off is space and ammunition capacity If you're going after heavy bombers a 30 mm is good but if you were going after fighters, it's limitations become apparent especially if you are outnumbered which was the problem the Germans were facing
