  1. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    I don't know if this is strictly true. Look at the 'influence' Stalin's Communist Party exerted on European countries and his behaviour post-WWII. He may have been fairly inward-looking prior to the War, but that was only because he was biding his time. It's not "sticking the finger" to the...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    It works better if the brown nose is a "Frank Burns" type, the character needs to have the right sort of oblivious attitude.
  3. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Goeben apparently had a total fuel capacity of 3,300 tons of coal, maximum, as well as 200 tons of oil. At 10 knots its estimated range was 6,500 nm (1.96 nm/ton) and at 14 knots it was 4,120 nm (1.24 nm/ton). With at least 1400 tons on board Souchon did not feel comfortable making the 800nm...

    Also used different, much longer cartridge cases than the 75mm later used in the Mk IV and the Stugs

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

    Like, if you look at a TV from the 1950s or 60s you gonna see that they had 100 channels. To make a TV channel you need a city theater where you can get someone to put a suit, read the news and transmit them. Just a typo, Chita has television, I said China by accident.
  6. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    We also have a pretty good idea what Germany's economy would be like without loot from France. Numbers of artillery pieces doesn't mean much if they are running out of shells because you are running out of brass bands for them.

    What if US annexes Barbary States back in the 19th century?
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    In total, precisely one South African division served outside of Africa + Madagascar, and that was in Italy.
  9. WI/PC: A Christian Japan

    If Oda or his successors see the potential in using the Christian ecclesiastical hierarchy as an alternate method of control and a way of getting a loyal civil service, then you might get the same sort of situation as the barbarian kings in Europe converting to Christianity. Or the Roman...

    AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Ford wins in 1976. A dem wins in 1980 and the democrat 80s and 90s see a doubling down on alternate sources. When the GOP returns to power in 2000 or 2004 it'll be on a national-populist line and not globalist/neocon/reaganite so efforts continue under the GOP.
  11. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    In this thread, French still have a small thing to fend off, namely full weight of Wehrmacht against France proper. We know who will be getting equipment that is up to the date. They were trying to do that with the 'Little Entente'. Didn't worked, and it will work even less now with...

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

    That's him! I love that even in the hot mess of post-Zhukov populist "Yeah we need some kind of democracy but right now we still have Nazis to kill" dictatorship there's at least one guy who actually gives a damn and genuinely helps out of basic human decency.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    They are, but as is often the case in this area, "control" is relative. They control coastal enclaves on down to the Simala Kingdom and the outposts at Aoudaghost and Oualata, but in between them is an infinite sea of arid sand that no one in their right mind could patrol all of, even with...

If they took the peace treaty would survive...for a while might not remain zoroastrian that long... But if they doesn't conquered persia but the ERE...

    The Widening Gyre (1991-1992) However rooted they may be in local conflicts and issues, at least initially, insurgencies are seldom entirely confined by national boundaries, as the CSA’s Western neighbour, the Pacific States of America, was beginning to discover by early 1992. Through the...
