  1. Alternate warships of nations

    Reading it now - so far so good ;) (Notes so far: Unless there was another POD I did not read - The deep refitted Warspite of OTL never had 5.25s fitted - her refit was too early - she retained some of the 6"s - 4 a side - and gained a pair of twin 4" AAA on each side - 1 of the port side twin...
  2. Alternate warships of nations

    Losing Canberra definitely was Turner's fault though since she probably could have limped away if given a few more hours .And Astoria might have survived if the USN had done vigorous stripping out of unnecessary flammable materials on its ships which it did within a brief period after this battle
  3. What would the Treaty of Berlin look like if Germany chose to back Russia's claims?

    This reason. The distance from the Russo-German border to Berlin is half of the distance from the Russo-German border to St. Petersburg, and the land is dead flat. In an emotional outburst, Frederick III demanded that Bismarck finds a way to secure peace between Russia and Germany, and thus...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Interesting quote once I looked at that article... Other soldiers and historians have noted the unlikelihood of the lieutenants' alleged heroics, which entailed killing enemy after enemy in fierce hand-to-hand combat.[4] Noda himself, on returning to his hometown, admitted this during a...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It very much was. A book I just finished made the claim that the Japanese media, of all the major powers, was the most controlled and state supervised.
  6. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Appears to have been jolly good sport to them. Still a fucking War Crime though and bullshit about training methods or strange rituals amongst officers doesn’t explain it away either.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    My mistake -- they didn't even bother hiding it. Still was an egg-on-face moment for their international diplomacy -- which they knew, since a lot of nations started formally telling them to go fuck themselves right around that time -- and still means they had no good morals worth a damn.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Oh wow..... I thought that the Japanese press was incredibly muzzled. I suppose it wasn't seen as awful by the Japanese leadership. That alone says something about the army's culture.
  10. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I have a few questions about this. 1: Will we see Fox and Amblin have both logos on future Lucasfilm features? 2: How does Walt Disney Jr. feel about essentially getting the table scraps out of one of Fox's most profitable post-buyout films being sold off? 3: Are Universal, Paramount, and...
  11. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Huh. So you were describing the War Crime from the point of view of the Japanese who committed it? For what it’s worth, it’s was pretty well reported in Japanese media as well. According to one Japanese journalist embedded with Imperial forces at the time: The reason that the [10th Army] is...
  12. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Fuzzy, If you want to discuss how women and the POC ruined Star Wars. Do it on Fandom thread. Also None of the Disney Star Wars movies were bombs (Aside from Solo) so STFU
  13. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Okay, everyone take a deep breath. @Sapa Inka Wiraqucha @UoBLoyalist It appears that Nebuchadnezzar is not a native English speaker and is relying on machine translation, which as we all know is bound to produce significant translation errors. @Nebuchadnezzar Sapa Inka Wiraqucha was not saying...

  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Umm ...you are aware that the British planned and partially executed a series of operations to seize Rhodes in Feb 41? Rhodes was Operation Cordite. It was supposed to be preceded by the seizure of Castelorizzo ' Op Mandible' and then Scarpanto 'Op Armature'. On 25th Feb Destroyers Decoy and...
  18. AHC: Socrates becomes a god

    No Plato and Aristotle. Then Socrates (his thought must be written down) becomes the most important philosopher in the Greek world. Alternatively have Plato and Aristotle express fewer ideas of their own and even more admiration for Socrates and present themselves only as mere transmitters of...

  20. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    Large scale experiments without trial are in my opinion an outgrowth of authoritarianism/anti-democratic tendencies. We can debate how democratic actual American institutions are (I tend towards not very), but if the question as posed in this thread is "how much would a socialist America...
