  1. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Yes and my understanding is that the RN CAP Controllers got wise to the 'decoys' The issue with coordination is that the tanking times can vary - its a difficult task and if a pilot is having a bad day in the office or his aircraft is not quite performing 100% (and with US sanctions from the...
  2. Alternate Vienna Congress: Independent Poznan and Prussian Saxony

    No chance in hell they took the crown in 48 or the sigmarinen commit suicide in 46 either

    But that is what the RN has done for hundreds of years. It is tradition . We can't change that

    Are there any stories with a powerful African or Native American or Aboriginal Australian empire?

    /u/Arkenfolm 's A Horn of Bronze - The Shaping of Fusania is coming along very well, it's similar to Land of Red & Goldbut set in Northwest North America https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/a-horn-of-bronze-the-shaping-of-fusania-and-beyond.466988/
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Actually, what started the war was North Vietnam‘s decision to try to spread communism southwards. The war with France was over. They had their independence. They chose to start another war, which eventually brought in the US. And, once again, they committed numerous war crimes during that war...
  6. British Empire in WW2 using colonial forces across pacific and european theatres in much larger numbers

    To raise significantly more men from India you'd probably have to make more of an outright deal with INC. Something like an absolute Ironclad agreement to give India complete independence within say a year of the end of the War. Something like the deal the US had with the Philippines where...
  7. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Russia doesn't have a large nor youthful population in China's case. It's population is more widely spread, whereas much of China (several hundred million peoples) is along the coast... easier for shipping and such. As others have said, Russia is much, much more corrupt. It's pretty much a mafia...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Wasn't that (the American UTAH landing) down to offshore currents, rather than navigation? (I also think I read in one D-Day book that where they landed turned out to be more lightly defended than where they had planned to land, which made the development rather fortuitous, but that is by way...
  9. Grains of Sand and Salt

    Pretty cool premise, and the butterflies implied in the intro are intriguing.
  10. British Empire in WW2 using colonial forces across pacific and european theatres in much larger numbers

    Whilst logistically and economically feasible, politically it’s unlikely. However you could definitely have more soldiers from outside the metropole without too much resistance given how many volunteers from the Caribbean were sidelined otl.

    Should be fairly good, as others have mentioned the German U-boats didn't do so well in the med so that's less of an issue. Also the JU-87 sucks at ship killing even in uncontested airspace. As long as they're not backing up another desperate evacuation they should be okay.
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Turkey being on the Allied side means the Allies can potentially* send supplies to southern Russia by the shipload through the Bosphorus instead of messing around with the Persian railway network. There were some fairly good logistical reasons, besides giving Hitler the headache of someone else...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Yeah... then again I’m not really familiar with all that stuff. I’m just someone who hates that movie.

    Still the couple of weeks the barges were concentrated in the channel harbours did more to harm German industrial production than the RAF did!
  17. WI: Philip II dies in 1199 and Richard I lives until 1215?

    John need to stay married to his wife as he is dependent on her lands. Richard having a son would be the best way for resolve the situation, sure...
  18. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I'd be afraid of it devolving into the kind of nonsense seen in "DS9", with thousands of ships (apparently) on screen at once...:rolleyes: I also get the sense "ST" was narrower-focused than that: going to such a big geopolitical theme loses the focus on the "Big 6", doesn't it? Unless the...
