    Continental Scandinavian languages without Low German influence

    You can look at Icelandic or Faroese to see what (mostly) uninfluenced Scandinavian languages might look like, you recognize a lot of words but it's generally not intelligable to Scandianvian speakers. Question is of course what influences Scandinavians would get without Low German influence...

  5. The Forge of Weyland

    Quite this is less than a week into the fighting and horribly confused. Much less than that since the British have access to Belgian airfields and the Dutch became co belligerent. There are some things that can be done like shuttling squadrons forward but until they can also move forward the...
  6. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    But you make sweeping statements on the Conservatives acting completely out of character and expect it to go unchallenged? Again, so why postulate the Tories will act the way you suggest? Domestic politics massively unpopular with a large section of the public. Not similar to the Falklands...
  7. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    Hmmm....I really think it depends on how you're defining critical there. 3 Chinooks is a prodigious amount of lift capacity to lose and I'm certain the boots on the ground wouldn't have minded some additional Wessex to get them from A to B either, given some of the terrain. Don't forget the Lynx...
  8. NO pearl harbor.

    One of the things that also often gets forgotten in these threads is the Allies’ arms sales to China. Japan’s war there wasn’t going well even when they managed to shut off the arms supply through Indochina; they lost in the Central Hubei Offensive in November of 1940, and at Changsha, West...
  9. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Maybe Charles Wang goes after them earlier than OTL. Still had the financial wherewithal to do so.
  10. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Ears everywhere but they relied on informants to a large degree. After July ‘44 it’s interesting to see just how many officers knew something was up, but hadn’t done anything about it. Ah, I see. The plot thickens...
  11. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    You made it look like I was implying the speech was made at the time of the Dunkirk evacuation. I corrected the error. So things got worse? And still didn’t precipitate new calls for surrender or negotiations. Which is the point I’m making. Which I have not tried to avoid referencing. If you...
  12. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    As I still have the book open... This is what the book had to say about the other two 9.2" guns that were taken out of service in the 1970s. So it looks like they could still be fired as late as 1986.
  13. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    I visited IWM Duxford back in the late 1990's, the plaque said the guns completed a successful exercise before they were replaced by Exocet.
  14. WI: No 'flight to no where?'

    From what I've seen on a number of videos discussing Midway. Hiryu was the main target for VT-8's attack run. Throw in the rest of Hornet's Air Group and the chances of actually scoring a hit are significantly higher. The only issues are that they would be facing up to 72 Zeroes and that this...

  16. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    According to the Wikipaedia article that that Post 41 linked to the Exocets weren't installed until October 1985, which is nine years after the it says the 9.2." guns were last fired. However, @JN1 wrote in Post 27... I was going to say that the Wikipaedia articles says that the Gibraltar...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Hello Thank you for you kind words, and accepting my story idea. I have no issue changing the title to KONAM, as you say it does leave it more mysterious as to the content. The script (attached) has been amended as requested so it is Decker instead of Chekov on the landing party. I do feel...
  18. Continental Scandinavian languages without Low German influence

    Yes, around 40% of our vocabulary comes from Low German, through it‘s pretty unrecognizable by now. Of course the Danish pronouncement have been heavily influenced by German too, Danish would still have a somewhat mumbling quality[1] through without a million vowels it would be somewhat lessen...
  19. WI: Arminius lives longer

    What if Arminius defeated not only Varus but also Germanicus? He weould become the ruler with by far the most authority among Germanic rulers. He lives to at least 40 ad and has at least 5 children living to adulthood.

    The Pale Horse: The Northwest Montana Insurgency and its Aftermath (1987-2002)

    An entirely reasonable criticism on your part, entirely due to my lexical slackness. I'll tweak the wording of the 'hard labor' section to make it clear that for most of the inductees to the Irregulars, they've been asked to choose between spending six months stamping license plates for eight...
