    The first in a string of failures of strategic bombing to end the war.

    WI: Operation Tempest Succeeds

    If Operation Tempest hadn't been thwarted by the Soviets and had actually caught on across Poland, could the Poles have liberated themselves? How would this affect postwar Europe? Would this allow the west to reach Berlin?

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    That's more in the bailiwick of the foreign ministry or the ministry of war. The general staff's job is to prepare and offer military solutions, if you're going to them for diplomatic advice you're already racing headlong towards war.

    Threadmarks: H.P. Lovecraft, the Craftsman of Terror

    So, already deviating from my planned updates, huh? This was planned to have been posted on the 15th of March, since it was the 84th anniversary of Lovecraft's death, but due to having things to do at home I only came around to posting it today. Sir Howard Philips Lovecraft of Providence, 1st...
  6. Crimson Banners Fly: The Rise of the American Left

    I mean, yeah the commies took over, but the fact was that they got in and did what they promised to do and what the people wanted: No. More. War. If nothing else, I could see Teddy have a grudging respect for that (outside of the fact that it meant no more war with russia). Yeah, they’re...
  7. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Bourgeois collectives built on threats of starvation and force work when “too big to fail,” even after state failure. Collectives too small to be “self-insuring” will eventually fail. 90% of small businesses fail fast. Its institutional or collective resilience, which comes with size. There’s...
  8. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    If I'm remembering correctly the first Sharifan dynasty to rule Morocco (not the Alaouites, the other ones) were immensely popular and celebrated, despite being foreigners, because they managed to turn the tide against the Iberians for a short time. If they, by some miracle, manage to keep...

  10. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Forget about Algeria and head to refuel in a Spanish port. At this time the Royal Navy is not in contact with Goeben so there is a decent chance that she could refuel before the Royal Navy could gather enough ships to trap her.

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

    @Johnrankins There is a lot built in every country in the world that is paid for by people who don't use it every day and the United States is no exception. It's very easy to say with regards to HSR in the Northeast "let them pay for it!" ignoring the fact that every state paid for the...
  12. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    Whatever it’s named, neither of the old cities will like it. Manchester nicknames: "Cottonopolis", "Warehouse City", "Madchester" Liverpool nicknames: Dublin's Backyard, East Dublin, Ireland's Second Capital, The World Capital of Pop, The World in One City None of those seem agreeable...
  13. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Even then, the title only infers that Morocco be seen as part of Europe "to an extent", which is to say, it doesn't have to literally be part of the European landmass. With Turkey specifically, it wasn't considered a European nation at its peak, it was considered an Asian nation with European...

    Reds! Official Fanfiction Thread (Part Two)

    There's really no concept as "network TV" TTL. There's the government PBS that forms a core, and independent channels that emerge in the 70's.

    Unless you work in the automobile industry, in which case there is still quite a lot of reason to go to Detroit.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Oh yeah, I can also see that, where Cameroonian Pan-Africanism ends up resembling Japanese Pan-Asianism. And what you get is Cameroon invading, exploiting and abusing other African Nations using Pan-African Unity as an excuse, just like Pan-Asianism being a fancy term for Japanese Imperialism.
