  1. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    I'm not so sure if it would be crippling. The losses in WW1 were a lot bigger. And the losses of Germany in both wars even bigger.
  2. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I suspect each dominion probably contributes to the Royal Navy, which is a joint force. Though they may each have a dedicated defensive force as well.
  3. The Forge of Weyland

    Not to mention the logistics of supplying them at this time.
  4. The Forge of Weyland

    The reasoning is the same as during the Phoney War. What happens if France on Belgian airfields are available for the large number of spare planes the gremans have. There is a minimum number we must keep back to defend Britain
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    Perhaps the British will calm down and see this argument as convincing in a few days. They (and the French even more so) will still be in panic mode. Focusing on the potentially deadly threat of a renewed attack on Sedan and beyond. Or a renewed attack through the Gemblough Gap. They don't...
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    RN has a lot of ships and while the Bofors will replace the Pom Pom in time that won't happen yet and any taken off of capital ships will simply be given to other vessels. The RN has a LOT of ships. That is just pure filth, Molins gun in a Victor firing APDS at Panthers, tigers and anything...
  7. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    Being illogical would make it more likely to go again wouldn’t it? They would know because you know militaries study these things. They don’t just shrug their shoulders and go “Oh? We were defeated? How the hell did that happen?” and leave it at that. They find out. A crippling loss of materiel...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    That is, until someone figure out the Molins Gun.
  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    What is going to happen to Pom Pom´s that are being replaced by 40mm bofors

    Solar Dreams: a history of solar energy (1878 - 2025)

    Maybe, yeah. I don't know if it's a good thing or not, that the ancient world narrowly avoided an industrial revolution because slave labour was cheap and widespread: the Romans already wrecked havoc on the environment of the Mediterranean with nothing but pre-industrial technology, I don't even...
  11. The Forge of Weyland

    for the germans to attack londen at this point of time means going over those dutch airfields to reach it , it could be sold as an forward - In depth defence of London. Also the 2 airfields in Zeeland could be used for the support of the BEF in Belgium
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The RN will be taking up every Pom Pom produced and nothing has happened to massively increase production over OTL to allow some to go to the Army. Realistically the 6pdr will have a better HE round than the Pom Pom but will lack the ability to cover an area in HE. That is a trade off the crews...
  13. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    Dear Dragon your latest time line has forged ahead to cover 172 pages since the third of December, you must use a very big stick!!!!

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Sure but from memory the author admitted that and tbh it was probably included because its an interesting, if spurious, sidenote. 'Meme history' if you will. :P
  15. AH Cultural Descriptions

    Not at all what I was trying to say, sorry. (And I was also writing in-universe, as a lot of people seem to so here). The comment was meant more as a commentary about about how many agencies within film supported white-washing, and about how white audiences did avoid films starring nonwhite...

    WI: US joins the Axis

    http://www.combinedfleet.com/economic.htm United States 41.7% Germany 14.4% USSR 14.0% UK 10.2% France 4.2% Japan 3.5% Italy 2.5% Ok, this is a silly scenario, but I'll try to do something that makes sense. Just put FDR and most of Congress on a diet of 100%...
  17. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    It’s situational, I think. For the case of old-school massive artillery sat out in the open or for less developed nations then yes. But for a reasonably capable military then generally speaking if you have decent defenses in place against enemy ships you have decent defenses in place against...
  18. Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War

    With both Austria and Prussia involved, they have enough troops to be pretty much everywhere on Jutland, especially as they can communicate by telegraph (the Prussian army had a telegraph corps since 1830). Should the war drag on and naval dominance become an issue, the Austrians could make an...
  19. Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    France narrowly wins the title.
  20. The Forge of Weyland

    Because that's currently all the RAF is prepared to put out on a limb in Holland. There have been heavy losses to the Hurricanes defending the AASF and the British Army, and (especially with the Sedan scare) they can't strip the UK defences. Defending Holland instead of the BEF or London is a...
