  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    You really really really don't want to know. Though I think it's canon he was eventually captured and beaten to death by partisans. Which was honestly too kind a fate for him. "Covered in Fire Ants and then tossed into a volcano" sounds more appropriate though still kind of nice.
  2. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    Glad to see this timeline updated! Another nice chapter. The escape was interesting, intense... Looked like they were going to get caught! Lucky Eadgar, a boy-king that hasn't died horribly (yet).
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    I wonder what happened to Dirlewanger and his unit of criminals and deviants in AANW.
  4. Sony never makes PlayStation

    Even if Sega made the same mistakes (Which I doubt Sega has no reason to release the Saturn sooner than planned.) it would be offset by Nintendo's choice (I hesitate to call them mistakes.) to not use a CD Drive and not getting the 64DD out as planned. Gen 5 would be like Gen 4. Nintendo...

    America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    To be honest I think the situation in Southern Africa juat went completely to crap for those opposed to the colonial powers and the white governments in Pretoria and Salisbury. In 1970 in Rhodesia the Bush War wasn't really raging yet, and with the Soviet Union now surely a pariah and China...
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    All of this is fine, but it's unlikely to have an impact on the Afrika Corps in February and March 1941. Any improved tanks are mostly going to be sent east against the Soviets while Rommel gets a handful, if he's lucky, for testing in the desert. Remember Rommel's orders weren't to drive the...
  7. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    The old cruiser tanks were considerably better than the M11/39. The tankettes were trash. The artillery was old and very slow to transport. The British retreated from Somalia as it was indefensible and evacuated almost all their troops despite the Italian tanks and tankettes. The Italians...
  8. The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    Organizing farmworkers is not organizing farmers (and is in fact, antagonistic to most farmers who have to use any amount of seasonal labor). A system of political and economic organization based around industrial unions is going to naturally exclude most American farmers who are effectively...
  9. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Is DiC going to get bought, and if so by who? I suggest Westinghouse, Metromedia, Viacom, Gulf & Western, Turner, or Coca-Cola.
  10. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Possibly the 35,000 Italian troops, mainly colonial, as opposed to 5,000 British may have had something to do with it.
  11. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Respectfully your assumptions are incorrect. In 1940 things looked very bad, but there were many reasons for long term optimism. Hitler's attack on Russia was highly likely. His entire program was based on a war of extermination against the Bolshevist, Jewish conspiracy. The need for Living...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Oskar Dirlewanger might just be a real life example of "Keeps living because even Satan doesn't want to be around that sick twisted fuck". I mean even Nazi standards he was a fucking monster. I vaguely remember his SS superiors (Who were themselves genocidal monsters) more or less begging...

    Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    Given what the KM is doing I think we are going to get a death ride of the HSF here.
  14. Driftless

    The Forge of Weyland

    Even if the Germans rally and run the table eventually, driving France out of the war, they'll be badly damaged and resource-poor. What would Hitler's status be under those conditions? IF he's still in charge, he'll still want to have a go at the Soviets, and considering the damaged suffered...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Harris could have done more with his targeting than just dehousing. He was stuck on that

    Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    The list of people who need to be final crash barriers for busses is very long: Woodriow Wilson, John Pershing, Harold Stark, William Leahy, Walter Christie (Two of them.), Richmond Turner, William Pye, George Brett, Clayton Bissell, Lewis Brereton, (The three Bomber Braindeads) William...
  17. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    And again you misrepresent things. British Somaliland had few troops in place and their defeat had nothing to do with the M11's. Of course this conquest was completely reversed within six months and by the end of 1941 the British had overrun all the Italian possessions in East Africa. Meanwhile...
  18. AHC: Stalin Strikes First

    Thanks for all the feedback. It seems like the least unlikely possibilities are 1) France doesn't fall, leading to a long campaign on the western front. Stalin smells blood in the water. 2) Better (or at least different) Soviet intelligence convinces Stalin that Hitler is about to attack...
