    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Yes but the objective is it not being a morganatic marriage

    The Forge of Weyland

    Part of Dowdings calculations too, was that some of the pilots shot down over Britain would fly again soon. Far less likely for pilots shot down over France, or the Low Countries, and very little chance of seeing those pilots shot down over Germany. The number of trained pilots in the queue...
  3. Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    Oh, boy... especially the utter mess that was the Northern Rising and the intrigues of the Duke of Norfolk screwed her many times over.
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Good summary. The advantage for the Valentine was that Vickers had been building tanks consistently between the wars, so had a trained workforce, which Nuffield et al didn't. The majority of the A9 and A10s weren't built by Vickers, just 50 and 10 of each. A lot of their problems were due to...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    'Defending the UK' by letting Germans conquer France and use French airfields to attack, meaning far more planes would be needed for defense always struck me as ... odd.
  6. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Mmmm, I don't know what to think, I hope it ends well for Gioberti's dream.
  7. The Dead Skunk

    Thank you. I'm fine. Where I live is a hotbed of social rest—all we had was a few very peaceful demonstrations last year. Everyone in my family has managed to stay safe (or at least asymptomatic), and my parents got their COVID shots this month. I'm trying to get Locksmith's War finally...
  8. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    Because the high-altitude systems were the entire reason NATO changed to low-level interdiction. NATO would have absolutely have preferred to keep operating there, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to design aircraft for that sphere and the switch led to a lot of expensive programs dying. But...
  9. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    Surely they'd have used the Bomb on both Germany and Japan in 1945?
  10. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    They would still have to defeat those troops and there was 350,000 odd of them So it is not clear at all that things would go faster and cheaper.

    PC: Where Would the Capital of a Hohenstaufen United HRE Be?

    What are we considering the "Hohenstaufen Unified HRE" to be? If we are thinking regular HRE borders stretching from Papal States to Denmark, France to Poland somewhere generally along the same latitude as River Main would work well. Like Frankfurt, Mainz, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden, Worms...
  12. Sports What Ifs.

    I’ve been trying to develop a scenario in which the NFL managed to salvage the Canton Bulldogs in addition to the Packers via fan ownership. OTL the Bulldogs were sold and moved to Cleveland, which wasn’t ready for a pro football team. The team folded, and so did their replacement in Canton due...
  13. Andrew III of Hungary has a son

    Hohenstaufens are long gone already, and Polish-Bohemian state would be quite strong. 14th century Bohemia was local power already.

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I was actually thinking about your latter point, I'm probably going to retcon it to throw in more Junta holdouts. My thinking was that once they opened the borders with Namibia, they'd be more focused on retreating, taking anything that literally could be moved to a safe zone and then pushing...
  15. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    So begins the final fall of the Roman Empire. God bless her last defenders and the faithful allies that stand by her in the last storm against the coming darkness
  16. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    The right to create a new flag ;)
  17. The Forge of Weyland

    exactly. Plus its a lot harder to support squadrons in France, the further forward the harder, and with no C&C for the fighters they are less efficient and take greater losses.

    In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Let's keep the point of divergence simple: imagine a world where Muhammad had simply never been born. In such a scenario, what religion is most likely to be the most significant competitor to Christianity in terms of number of followers by the year 2021? Said religion does not have to garner...
  19. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    In WW2 a tank will last about 6 months with a unit before it is worn out (and likely days in combat before it is knocked out or is abandoned and destroyed by its crew after it breakdown/runs out of fuel etc) and needs replacing with new tanks or rebuilding at a factory or a fully equipped...
