  1. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    This was Obama's HSR plan, and IIRC it was to be a mix of approaches with speeds of 110mph (they called that higher speed rail) and 125mph initially as well as the likes of the Acelca's 150mph and Texas' 205mph and California's 220mph new build proposals. This touches a lot of states, not all...
  2. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    What system of government does Italy have? Is the Vatican an independent state? Who is the Pope?
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Do they? As I said the VK 30.01 would have taken even more changes than Pz IV to take a bigger gun and prototypes were just delivered in May-July 40. They wouldn't get a long 75 tank any faster than a P4 and uparmor kits for P4 are already coming. The VK 30. is redundant before even entering...

    Threadmarks: Part 39 ...but rain is coming

    Athens, January 1934 Nikos Zachariadis had been de facto leading the Greek communist party since late 1931 when Comintern had installed him in leadership of the party in hopes of ending the factional strife of the previous years. Now the 6th party congress officially made him general secretary...
  5. Pull a Meiji reatoration on Qajari Persia before Russia wrecks them

    Iran was utterly destroyed following the Hotaki invasion and what happened after Nader's reign. The population had dropped a few million and the economy was reduced to rubble. The Qajars were not in any position to pursue any meaningful form of modernization other than haphazardly emulating the...
  6. WI Lenin either dies by 1900 or is never born

    Does this prevent the Soviet Union? What happens later?
  7. To be a Fox and a Lion - A Different Nordic Renaissance

    Take your time! We'll always be ready for the next update, no matter how long it takes! :) But looking forward to the bonus map! As for the stillbirth, it's mentioned on wikipedia, so it could be incorrect. It could also easily be butterflied away TTL, so it's not important or anything! :) I...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    They may develop a little slower, especially considering NAFTA prevents the massive rise of outsourcing in the 1990s American and later western economies. The increased military budgets in the west are also sucking up excess capital. But solid economic growth is born, as India becomes kind of a...
  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I thought the squeeze-bore gun came in 1941 at some point, June I think. I am pretty sure that in mid 1940 they were still messing around with the 105 that went nowhere. Assuming that Germany wants a breakthrough tank after the Fall of France because of experience fighting and in essence loosing...
  10. What would the British do if German tanks roll into Dunkirk? (no halt order)

    I am assuming with no halt order a whole panzer division has moved into Dunkirk with all its combined arms. How easy would it be for the BEF to overcome this?

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Well, the M!X are obviously part of the company/brand name and as such are no map error in itself. But that doesn't excuse neither the rather novel location of the Black sea nor that gigantic Madagaustralindonesian superblob or whatever you might call that agglomeration in the lower right...
  12. Explain the AH Quote

    Well, yes, but I didn't know about the Choctaw. Certainly interesting to see that context.
  13. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Yeah, same here. Was wondering if it was just my mind in the gutter, so it's reassuring that others have seen it.

    Threadmarks: Chapter Four: A Tragic Comedy

    The Victory Day Celebrations of 1993: The Soviet Union hosted it's classic military parade on the 8th of May, 1993, marking the date of the final victory in WW2, and generally serving as send off to the mayday festivities that accompanied every labour day on May 1st. That year's festivities...
  15. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    This leads to Brit seizure of the Cannaries & Cape Verde, Islands, And, given Iberian politics very likely a earlier use of the Azores by the Allies. The long term benefits for the Battle of the Atlantic are large, & they make for useful anchorages to make up for the loss of Gibraltar for that...
  16. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Exactly what I was thinking. So it's safe to say the Eastern Front an even BIGGER meat grinder than OTL.
  17. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Not really. The network already exists. Britain controlled the worlds trade lanes at this point. That means they had relationships with coal buyers and sellers in almost every major port. If they didn’t a private British Company would. The Government can reimburse private companies to instruct...
  18. The Forge of Weyland

    Part of me though going back over this wonders how long the French army will hold out for if memory serves OTL the French military outside of a few units wasn't doing so well I remember it being described as burned out and unenthusiastic.
  19. To be a Fox and a Lion - A Different Nordic Renaissance

    Real life always takes precedence. Keep up you high quality work!! 👍👍
  20. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Ore we could say that it began from 1937 onwards when the Japanese starting bombing Chinese cities.
