  1. The Forge of Weyland

    Yeah dowdings worries makes sense if he was pessimistic about the europe campaigns but the british themselves werent that worried during the phoney war asfar i can tell so im not sure where that comes actually and his decisions seems to benefit from hindsight . Cause treating france and...
  2. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    And just as a point of information, the "TMT" referenced by @Expat is apparently the Thirty Mile Telescope, a propsed project on the Big Island. I think any further discussion of that would get us into current politics, though I gather it's an example of the state flag being used at protests.
  3. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Yeah morganatic marriages are a matter of custom not religious law so the pope wouldn’t have a say in that- it’s all Charles. Ironically, I think they have a far enough away common ancestor they wouldn’t need a papal dispensation but likely a blessing of their marriage and a reassertion of the...
  4. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    Maybe the Germans were able to shift divisions or even a few corps between fronts - perhaps 100k personnel at a time. What you are proposing is to shift 20 or 25 times that high number in 5 weeks or so (2 - 2.5 Million out of the 3+ million German troops that took part in the Battle of France...

    As someone who used to have a big fat crush on Jenny Wakeman, you have NO idea how much I want to see this! Then again, I'd be happy with any continuation of the show.

    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    I just want to check I've got this right. You want three Coats of Arms. 1st - Portugal under Murat, a tidied up version of the sketch you linked 2nd - Stenkil, a tidied up version of the second sketch Both of those with three gray helms and crests. Question to confirm: the second one has a...

    July 1917 Kadet Coup against Kerenksy?

    Thanks for the reply! I was hoping you would see this thread since you know your stuff on this period. I can certainly see why the Kadets are in a terrible position, whether they succeed in their coup or not. Assuming they could get enough armed men to arrest Kerensky and "take" Petrograd for...

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

    You can resurrect Burgundy by marrying Beatrice or Jeanne I of Burgundy to the Raymond Berenguer IV of Provence.
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Cromwell, and the later marks of Churchills had a good reputation for reliability in Normandy as was the Comet into 45. Those tanks not knocked out during the campaign were still running at the end of it - that was not the case with the earlier Crusiers The reason for this is the British...

    What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Maybe you could somehow get Russia more involved in the whaling business and use that as a motivation for establishing a series of posts in the North Pacific. Alternatively, you could have Russia be more successful in its struggles with China so Russia has a greater foothold in the Far East...

  15. A series of assumptions: a Britwank on a budget?

    ITTL the Chieftain fleet got the fully automatic TN12 transmission once the Iranians paid for it, and the Stillbrew armour package as per OTL. 'The British' covers a wide range of interested parties, not least the Cabinet and Treasury., who wouldn't be keen on replacing a tank too early. The...

    Well, no pressure or anything, only if they WANT to after all.... (Don't make us have to hire out additional 'pressure' there folks, just give into the inevitable :) ) Wonderful update :) Ha! Makes sense, though really they will end up having to move the engines at some point because (as...
  17. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    All good points, but note that birch bark, like paper and parchment, does not survive until modern times. It's completely possible that birch bark was widely used in medieval Scandinavia, and related places (Normandy, Wolin, Danelaw), but it just did not make it to now...
  18. The Forge of Weyland

    Can someone elaborate on Dowding's OTL argument against sending more forces to support France and Belgium? Had he simply anticipated the collapse and. didn't want his ground support lost? Then in current TTL, as long as lines are stable enough to ensure the security of airfield support...
