  1. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Well for starters, that wasn't the question. The response was to the implication that British mercantile pressure was insufficient to keep Goeben from fueling in Italian and Greek ports. Whether similar arrangements could be made in Iberian waters is hard to say. The colliers, probably not...
  2. AHC: Cold War between Religious Communism and Atheist Capitalism

    I didn't say it has to be. But honestly I think that Marxism is the best shot for Communism as an ideology and the most compatible with Christian beliefs because it isn't so heavily influenced by utopianism.
  3. English Canada/French Carolina: A Timeline

    Can we get an up-to-date world map please? I’d really like to see how the world has changed since last time we got a map :) (Also, great update as usual. Welcome back!)
  4. Little Rock Nine Massacre

    Would have people still used the N-word into the 50s?
  5. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    True. Maybe if the colonists either made George Washington their king, or else made the presidency a lifetime appointment (essentially an elective monarchy), this might help keep monarchies around in other parts of the world.
  6. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I could transfer Ilia out for Saavik (Ilia has to take a break from Starfleet because she is overcome with emotion, but later returns?) Saavik was written into TWOK to replace Ilia. If I put Persis Khambatta on my Sulu series in the 90s I have to retcon all the bad things that happened to her...
  7. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Now consider that most people in Russia who could get TV broadcasts could probably get them from multiple factions. Channel surfing would be weird.
  8. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    I know but perhaps they could make a joint operation with the British. After all Turkey purchasing subs is a clear violation of the terms of the peace treaty and I doubt the Turks will have the stomach to declare war to Britain. Furthermore, I don't see Spain(where the sub has been purchased...
  9. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Gosh.... Can you imagine the type of insane TV shows that would be coming out of Amur, the Aryan Brotherhood, or god forbid the freaking Holy Russian Empire?

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Hadn't thought of it, but I don't see why not. They've got more funds behind them TTL, after all.
  11. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Americans and British fought as hard as they could because they were attacked, for mostly geopolitical reasons. That doesn't mean they weren't aware of German and other atrocities, they had pretty good idea of what was happening in the occupied countries (although some were in denial), although...
  12. Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    I just had a thought. Many of the 737-200s left flying are in Canada. Their low bypass engines keep them higher off the ground than newer models, and there is a special kit they use to blow air down and keep debris out of the engines. This allows them being used on gravel runways, which is the...
  13. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    With the way people got to work in that period their housing was generally within a few blocks of the factories producing war materials. And well within the circle of accuracy of the bombs. In the early part of the bombing campaign those closest to the target may have been better off as the...
  14. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    Yes, it sounds as more like the tactics of a violent Loyalist group similar to the OAS (?) . Viewing the British abandoning Northern Ireland as the equivalent of De Gaulle's betrayal of Algerie Francaise.
  15. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    The ship they met at Donoussa (which is an out of the way little island) was a proper pre-positioned German supply ship Messina was a handful of German freighters that ripped up their decks to try and get as much coal over to the Warships as possible but only managed to shift 1400 tons in 24...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    @FalconHonour will Francis still send Jacques Cartier
  17. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    The Allied governments were responsible for the livesof their own citizens, not enemy ones, however innocent or not they might be. Such is the cruel fact of life
  18. What's your favorite alternate ethnolinguistic situation for England?

    Yes but they have to develop strong shipbuilding culture if they do not have it They would still be called East Germanic. The changes that distinguished East Germanic languages ftom West Germanic ones (lack of rhotacism and umlaut and some other stuff) had already taken place in AD 300. By AD...
  19. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    Actually a more likely scenario with a united Ireland still having 'The Troubles' in the 1980 is a horrific Loyalist bombing in Dublin which results in 'pogroms' against the Loyalist population in Ulster. Which may result in UK intervention on humanitarian grounds with possible escalation from...
  20. Resurgam

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    "Helps" when you realize living memory is still a thing for these acts - at least for another decade or so.
