  1. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    Yeah, ultimately I think the German are going to want to hold Nikopol mines for the strategic metals and the area between the Bug and Dnieper for grain. And the Crimea because Hitler was worried about the effect on Turkey, and the shale oil of Estonia at a minimum, i.e. the Panther line. In...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I mean Henry is still a very handsome and powerful man so its possible women are still falling over themselves to be with him

    WI: American Panama?

    And considering Panama had an independence movement before the US came, that is true.
  4. AHC: Make gyrocopters the primary short- to medium-range travel method for the rich by the late 20th century

    ASB. You'd struggle making it a relevant niche, nevermind a popular pick amongst any demographic.

    Pop-culture of the Kaiserreich

    Films of this era were all sound, silent films pretty much went away in the late 1920s.
  6. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    In terms of the waste of resources invested in the Wehrmacht perhaps, but those resources are still being spent in the OPs scenario. Without the food extracted by the Hunger Plan Germany would have run out of food far sooner and they did extract iron ore and other raw materials. The troops still...

  8. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Well, in fairness to the Yanks, there's a sìmilar inconsistency in Canadian law, though less extreme. You can have sex at 16, drive at 16, vote and join the army at 18, but in some provinces, you have to be 19 to drink. And in Quebec, otherwìse viewed as the least puritan province, the age for...

    Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    I guess but still, poor Mary, if it wasn't such a touchy issues for James VI and I Shakespeare probably would've written a play about her. Also the Nine Years War was down to poor execution and planning on the Spanish and Irish's part rather than a lack of participation by Spain.

    Did the movies in 1937 have sound or where they silent?
  11. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Everyone wants me to keep Xon alive. OK, I'll put him on the Reliant in the first movie (Reliant will appear as a Federation ship fighting WITH the Enterprise instead of against it in the first movie). I won't kill Xon off then. I could have a scene in the first movie where Admiral Kirk promotes...
  12. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    If they withdraw to the border, the Soviets now have access to all the manpower, natural resources, industry, ect. in those areas. Germany lost the war the second they decided to declare war on the USSR.
  13. Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    And that wasn’t going to work, not while Elizabeth had a superb intelligence network working for her and the Spanish offered such little material support (a theme that was going to repeat in the Nine Years War in Ireland and the Jacobite Rising in 1719). Heck, it could be argued that Mary was...
  14. AHC: Make gyrocopters the primary short- to medium-range travel method for the rich by the late 20th century

    I don't see how an under fuselage system would work. The WW2 one had the aircraft hanging below a wire rope for both landing and take off. How could a gryocopter attach itself to something on it's underside and not flip over when it came to a stop? Looking at the video of the Brodie system in...
  15. WI: Royal Canadian Navy Type 42 Destroyer?

    Yeah, im thinking a POD where the RCN bad luck with the General Purpose Frigate program follows them to the Iroquois class (i.e. it gets canned). Either that or the Iroquois class project fails to come to fruition.
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    ...was totally warranted but not fully deserved at the same time, it wasn't that the tank designs were fundamentally flawed (well most weren't, *cough*Covenanter*cough*) and when given work proved adequately reliable. The overriding issue time and again for the early war British tanks was that...
