  1. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Of course they were devoted to defeating the Nazis at any cost. They were the NAZIS! One did not need to have the hindsight of 3/4 of a century, all that was needed was to look at what they were. That was obvious as early as 1936 and blindingly obvious by 1938. Even without the horors of the...
  2. Archduke

    French Baden

    I guess to secure both banks of the Rhine and project permanent power into Germany?
  3. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    It was if you are referring to the wae many regards khosrow could have gotten a good deal in 610 when heraclius took power as he offered him peace and that could have meant the lost of all the byzantine gains they had in the previous war with some tribute Even in 610s khosrow could have accepted...
  4. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    First of all: The famine of 1932/1933, as horrible and disastrous as it was, is in no way comparable to the "Hungerplan Ost" and the Holocaust. Just because something is bad doesn't mean things can't be worse. You ignore the big picture: In communist thought, the "world revolution" isn't...
  5. No G harder then Kenny G

    So when are you going to address Kenny G's other job as Head of Riot Suppression at the Luxury Prison?
  6. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    There is no reason why terrorist organization in a united Ireland needs to attack the United kingdom, they got what they wanted and also a united Ireland would not be stupid enough to do anything that would get them into a war, even Operation armageddon: Ireland invasion of Northern Ireland the...

    Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    I'm liking this! . . . . it has a bit of an earlier C-17 feel about it.
  8. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    No, not at all... I called that you'd continue till part 1,129 because you don't we're going to let you STOP anytime soon now do you? 😈 By "all things to everyone" I meant more that it was over-sold with far to many 'missions' assigned to too few vehicles. Launch vehicle, on-orbit servicing and...
  9. Was Austria-Hungary really doomed?

    The problem with A-H is that the leadership know that there were problem, it seemed more like the EU than a nation and instead to try to solve it...they prefer kick the can; sure without the war A-H will have lasted much longer but in the end if not resolved such problem with have exploded

    Was Austria-Hungary really doomed?

    Doomed? No, but I do think that it was likely. Not necessarily because of seperatism though, but rather because of problems between the Habsburg government and the Hungarians.

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

    This can be done, yeah. Just one thing, Brazilian TV channels died after the 1964 coup when the dictatorship nationalised them all and gave it for the Marinho family (Globo), só if Novosibirsk defeat the saloons they could do the same. In one night all TV stations were handed to one single family.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Yes, as a Godzilla fan myself . . . . the infamous GINO version! Godzilla In Name Only! All valid points. The REAL Godzilla wouldn't ever have walked away from a bar room brawl, this is the Duke who has taken on the worlds biggest monsters and won. . . . and he continually runs away from a...
  13. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    The Northern Patrol was pretty successful OTL at controlling the GIUK Gap. The G&B are very much in the "large ship" category. They should be as easy as merchantmen to spot, if not even easier. It is all they need to do, provided they spot the G&B early enough. The Grand Fleet can put to sea...
  14. Was Austria-Hungary really doomed?

    I think OTL Yugoslavia might be a good comparison. Yugoslavia was an union of nations that had severe grudges with each other, but were joined together by a semi-prosperous economy, unifying ideology, competent leadership and nationalism being kept in the background by giving nations at least...
  15. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    That wasn't as folly as exploiting the maroonites vs the ERE
  16. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    Yes, and it will loose them the war. But it will do so in an agonizingly slow, bloody, awful way. The Reich put up still resistance for well over a year after their stocks on oil and other important ressources could be charitably described as "exhausted". Oil in particular will be little issue...
  17. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    With all that said, it did help a lot that Germany had access to most of Europe and several months of rest after France, but yes, the Entente didn't feel it was ready for any offensives until the Fall of 1941 (Gamelin), mid-41 at least. This doesn't give the Entente a lot of time to breach the...
  18. Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    Never heard of this plane before, it looks like a C-130, does it have the same capability.
