    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    This talk of Rommel got me thinking, if he was knocked out in North Africa (captured, killed, wounded-as-to-be-out-of-the-war, etc.) would he even have the reputation he does OTL? Would we see discussion on the likes of 'Rommel was good, but he's no Guderian, would have been interesting to see...
  2. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    The famine of 32/33 happened. Hungerplan Ost didn't. Would it happen in the proposed TL with the nazi regime being as ramshackle as it was? So the Cold War, the repression of Eastern Europe the various proxy Wars were Stalin and co "accepting" the East-West split? They wouldn't accept peace...
  3. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    ...is the entire point. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote extensively on this in his Summa Theologiae, where he outlined the principle of "Double Effect,*" that is, where an action with two effects - one good and one evil - may still be chosen without sin. The four conditions are: 1.) The object must...
  4. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    The Star Wars prequels have better lines (that was their greatest weakness by far), and some bloopers that could've made Anakin look like less of a creep and more of an awkward but nice person are left in, as well as his dinner with Padmé's family.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Meh, I never really cared for thar design or the story. Making Zilla a fighter, giving him atomic breath, and a worthy death would be an easier way to save the movie.
  6. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    You probably can't. One reason is money the second is in specific technologies. The problem is the advanced engines like the Merlin are dependent on for the day exotic allows with comparatively few places or people able to make them or machine them and they are in the UK, US or Germany. Without...

    The Legacy of Saint Brendan: A History of the Western Hemisphere, 512 to 1400

    Thanks for those words! Glad you’re enjoying it!
  8. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    Also something else to think about in any reboot of the OP - why would Great Britain invade Ireland because of a terrorist attack, one year after leaving Ireland, after suffering more than a decade of terrorist attacks whilst it had control of Northern Ireland. What exactly is the war aim...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    That is applying racial/ethnic collective guilt towards Germans.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    You seem to be under a misapprehension that western allies were moral? Murder of innocent people has been carried about by every state in existence Just because a state is less evil than another doesn't mean that they are some bastions of good. It seems that your education system has failed to...

    The Legacy of Saint Brendan: A History of the Western Hemisphere, 512 to 1400

    I just started this timeline having found out about the voyages of Brendan at the weekend and had it recommended by @ramones1986 Only on page 8, but enjoying it a lot. I am hoping Ireland also colonises Iceland and Greenland, spreading their versionof the Church to those lands. Though Iceland...
  12. Have the IA 58 PUCARÁ be more successful in the export market

    My understanding they were very vulnerable to ground fire and wide availability of helicopters in COIN role probably killed it How would it fare against enemy helicopters in air to air combat ? how about Rhodesia using it in the Bush war ?

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Have them go with the earlier proposals with an actual godzilla instead of Zilla. That has the bonus of giving godzilla both the atomic fire you mention and fighting another kaiju, the gryphon.

    The Plantagenet Succession

    Andrew Garfield is a brilliant choice for Thomas Grey!

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Indeed. Roosevelt's Fireside Chats especially.

    Thousand-Week Reich - A 'realistic' Nazi victory scenario

    Sure, DemSoc Canada is fun (albeit a little messy at first with the Montreal Massacre that leads to the snap elections that bring them to power), as is Korea and Japan to an extent, and especially Tito or Djilas reunifying and slightly expanding upon Yugoslavia. And so is taking on the Nazis and...

    The Pale Horse: The Northwest Montana Insurgency and its Aftermath (1987-2002)

    While yielding to the rancher's demands may have been a bitter pill to swallow, so long as this doesn't set a precedent,* the PSA government is definitely better off having ceded the point before the matter could escalate out of hand. Fighting an insurgency in the area of the Great Divide would...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Add some plagiarism of Riefenstahl's work: No Fuhrer cosplay is complete without its own version of Triumph of the Will! or at least a few parades and events mimicking those of Nuremberg. Oh, and don't forget daily speeches by the Russian Fuhrer, reruns of pirated versions of Hitler's, and also...

    That depends on the linguistic evolution.
