  1. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    That makes sense. (I honestly hadn't thought about the loooong lead time for the Tom. :oops::oops: )
  2. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    You know, I wonder if maybe the Emperor made the classic mistake of believing his own propaganda? Russia was the undisputed winner of the Pandoric War, the entire world quaked in terror of the Dread Armart Legions, and then under his guidance Russia actually gets into another war on a similar...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Overloading the Mk IV chassis in 1940 won't work much better than 1944. ITTL, they need much more armor and a better gun than the 37mm. Might see more effort with the FAMO derived interleaved wheels/Schachtellaufwerk Mk IV Ausf E with add-on armor plates of 30mm on the glacis and 20mm on the...
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    The problem with this speculation about Hitler's sexuality is that it tries to frame the horrors he unleashed on the world as the product of some twisted madness. In real life, you don't need to be a psychopath to unleash evil onto others. Again, you don't need to be psychopath to have done...
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Hm, if the Valiant turret can comfortably take the 6-pounder, do you think it could take the Soviet 76.2 mm F-34 gun with some modifications? If it can, I'm sure it'd be popular with the Red Army.
  6. OTL Election maps resources thread

    Fair enough, sorry to jump the gun then but thanks so much for the resource! I'm tempted to use it do 1993 now, if nothing else because it would allow me to talk about the birthday cake interview and 'I wanna do you slowly'.
  7. Sports What Ifs.

    So ESPN did an althist on the legendary QB of my team and did actually bring up a POD I have always considered: trading for Tony Romo and keeping him and Peyton together as the QB-Coach GOAT duo. However, I am more interested in thoughts as to who would be a good pick for backup/successor? I...
  8. BREAKING THE MOUND: THE BIRTH AND RISE OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY

    Seems pointless- have him living on instead.
  9. What would the British do if German tanks roll into Dunkirk? (no halt order)

    Roughly 15%. Another 40% were under repair, or hurrying to catch up. Roughly half were permanent or long term losses. Not that many in 1940. Heavy use of Pervitin was not yet a thing. I can say from my training experiences over 20 years that two weeks of effort like that & 4 hours of...
  10. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    From what I understand they were good at the squadron and even wing level, but were poor at the Group, Air Force and Inter-service levels. They needed to coordinate time over target better to totally swamp defences for example, they often arrived in small groups spread out over an hour or more.
  11. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    ...their mouths shut in the interest of removing the threat Germany and Japan represented. Once the Americans got the hang of it, their "precision*" bombing methods worked quite well over Germany, though granted this was not until 1944. The problem was that the Americans at first underestimated...
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I think the immediate solution would be the L/60 50mm gun, get that on as many Panzer III's as possble and up-armour them if you can and continue development of the KWK-43 75mm gun to go on the Panzer IV

    I finally started watching Gintama not too long ago. I can't believe I slept on that show for so many years.

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    From a mapping perspective pretty okay. From an informative perspective, that's quite the snub.

    Consider that this can easily happen starting in September 1996, with the Marvel/ Valiant mini-series Heavy Metal: https://valiant.fandom.com/wiki/X-O_Manowar/Iron_Man_in_Heavy_Metal_Vol_1
  16. Pull a Meiji reatoration on Qajari Persia before Russia wrecks them

    When I mean "healthy", I mean mentally as well. The thing is that history is more than just the actions and decisions of great men. Institutions, like the Safavid capital-H "House", also matter. You can contrast that with Nader who abolished much of the remaining dynastic infrastructure after he...
  17. What would the British do if German tanks roll into Dunkirk? (no halt order)

    "All" is the operative question here. The tanks were largely strung out along the road to Germany, burnt out, broken down, or struggling along jammed roads after repairs. The bulk of the artillery was there, but that requires a steady ammo supply. Again that was somewhere to the east on...
  18. British "Civilization"

    They had to have a word with Nelson first and that didn't go well for them...
  19. What would the British do if German tanks roll into Dunkirk? (no halt order)

    How many tanks actually make it to the battlefield functional when they haven’t had the maintenance they desperately needed (and the reason for the halt order)? How many panzer crews are approaching or at overdose on amphetamines from using pervitin for more than a week straight? How many...
