    WI: Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn Survives, His Wife Dies in Childbed

    With Edward still alive, Ernest will be of less importance. Not only will Ernest not be the go-to alternative to Victoria, he won't be inheriting Hannover. He won't therefore have the canvas to play his Orange Order shenanigans on.
  2. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I'd also point out that, modern moral values notwithstanding, we weren't really hypocrites here. I can't recall us prosecuting any Germans specifically for the Blitz, or slamming V-weapons into London.
  3. Sony never makes PlayStation

    After seeing OTL moves...MS is going to get in. Maybe better as OTL or worse as Sega would be popular in japan and Nintendo elsewhere. But is up the air but MS did like videogames.

    It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Indeed, the USSR is in for a very rough go if things keep going the way they are. The defeat at Nomonhan is potentially cause for reform, but there's a near equal chance that the local commanders will be scapegoated. Mr. Shtern in particular, as the Commander of the Far Eastern Front who has...

    The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    I think Anne would wait until after her death before allowing France to annex Brittany.
  6. What would the British do if German tanks roll into Dunkirk? (no halt order)

    Exactly when are you proposing this, what day? That has a lot to do with how many tanks; ten or one hundred? Thens theres the other elements, the German success was of combined arms, not tanks in isolation. So is there one motor infantry battalion with those ten tanks, and a mixed battery of...
  7. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Except preventing the murder of more innocent people? I really don't "get" the outrage now. It is history, it is something that the countries who did the bombing (and this includes Axis) have to come to terms with. Just as Germans have to come to terms with gas chambers and Japanese their...
  8. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Well , "subsidized" is a loose word for it. If I can nominally "sell" something at $80 but the only thing you will sell me in exchange is rubber bands and paper clips (an exaggeration to show the point) that $80 isn't worth $80 to me or even close to it. If I sell it to someone else who will...
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Do you realize that it was a rhetorical question? To the demands that you answered, I thank all of your answers, as Captain Marvel said, that someone has an evil idea does not amount to what should die in a bombing, it was really horrible for me to read about death and misery lived during the...
  10. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Maybe my opinion won't matter much, since I'm the creator of the post linked here (btw good to see another person posting it). Well, I strongly agree that having Hyperborea be more efficient would be a lot more fitting with theme of TNO than having them be unable to enact those things they're...

    Map Thread XX

    As in OTL, a Finnic language. In OTL the last Livonian speaker died a few years ago, but in TTL the language survived the modern era without being replaced by Estonian (whom it is related to) and Latvian.
  12. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Perhaps but that would take a lot of preparation to put agents in all ports with authority and immediately available funds to purchase the coal.
  13. WI: Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn Survives, His Wife Dies in Childbed

    Hmm it could make for an intriguing outcome, if Ned is decently okay at his job, maybe there’s a reverse of the continent (I’d love that) and despite what some think, most brits at least at this point did think the king was chosen by god, so if they think parliament is bucking them they will...
  14. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    They do not. Even if an enemy commits evil it is never justified to do so yourself. Even if Germany and Japan would have won if the Allies didn't burn their cities (they wouldn't have) it still wouldn't have been justified. There is a difference between unintended civilian deaths from bombing a...
  15. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Brit security improved as the war advanced. In part thanks to Churchill, tho he also was a security risk in his daily habits. He did not like the selection of innocuous names for operations, thinking aggressive and descriptive names would be inspirational. And he had to be kept away from...
  16. Explain the AH Quote

    Actually, IOTL, it was the other Indians - the Choctaw Indians of America - who helped us in 1845 - 1850. And we haven't forgotten and we're still grateful.
  17. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Will Breslau accompany Goeben? The light cruiser's range, according to wiki, is 5,820 nmi but that is at an eco-friendly speed of 12 knots. Maximum speed was 27.5 knots, faster than Goeben.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    But the German may be under pressure like the British were, order things off the drawing board without decent testing, because they need a heavier panzer, _now_ in 1940, not 1942 So the DW2 and/or VK3001 get green lit, with later ausf to uncrew them. It took the Panzer III to go from the A to E...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Um.... yes, they absolutely did want to enslave and exterminate entire nations, as their literal actions in China and Eastern Europe showed
  20. Sony never makes PlayStation

    If Sony never enters the industry then the Saturn will do better simply through lack of competition. N64 will still beat Saturn but it won't get beat to hell by the PS1. It's highly likely that the Dreamcast still happens and becomes a huge hit. After that it's up to speculation. As for...
