  1. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Not in the slightest. I think you’re overestimating Lloyd-George’s position by 1940. He was a completely busted flush.
  2. AU Fiction: CFL-USA - A different telling.

    Not really as the US teams had time to grow. The CFL is much better managed this TL than OTL.

    Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    Dodge, with no experience in engines beyond their flathead Six(Chrysler did their 8) sorted out most of the problems of the Wright R-3350, that had nothing in common besides burning gasoline using valves and spark plugs. Those guys across Windsor Bridge were just as sharp. They had to be...

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

    Well that depends...fewer of the Iberian genes will surely be beneficial but to keep the Habsburgs from pedigree collapse the later generations need to marry outside of their cousins and aunts/uncles...a larger number of suitable Catholic matches would certainly help.
  5. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Unlikely. The situation was pretty dire when the Cabinet backed Churchill. There was no way they could know the “triumph” of Dunkirk would play out the way it did and yet they backed Churchill.
  6. Gideon's Folly: What happens when the USS Monitor never shows up for the Battle of Hampton Roads?

    It would start an ironclad arms race The Confederacy will see it as a way to keep their ports open Then realizing they can't out produce the Union after they've expended more resources on it than they did in OTL. It could be a poisoned chalice for the Confederacy
  7. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    I think you are underestimating that Welshmens street creds.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 09: The 1951 NFA Playoffs

    1951 NFA Playoffs Eastern Division Semi-Finals Boston Indians vs New York Aeros Despite Boston’s best efforts. New York would make mincemeat with the Indians. Aeros quarterback Billy Evans would be sack twice though by Boston’s OLB Tommy Osborn. Leading to some questions about Evan’s health...
  9. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    And? One old, discredited, backbench MP babbles on about Hitler being a lovely chap. So what?
  10. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    yes, but failure, might have reinvigorated Holy Fox, as a replacement.

    List of U.K. Prime Ministers 1945-2020

    ...KAISERREICH! Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland What if the Central Powers 'won' the Great War* 1914-1917? 1916: David Lloyd George (Liberal led wartime coalition) [0] 1918: Arthur Balfour (Conservative) [1] 1921: Arthur Balfour (Conservative) [2]...
  12. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    What? You mean British politics isn’t entirely directed, controlled and shaped by a single individual? That somehow a vast majority of MPs would affect the course of British decisions? I don't know, sounds unlikely...
  13. Byzantine Survival With the Least Butterflies?

    Just have the Ottoman elite to indulge in more historiography linking them to the byzantines than Otl. Make Byzantine survival a matter of a change in dynasty or a revolution instead of the conquering and dissolution of a state. Confine this mostly to academia and the urban elite. Combine this...
  14. Alternate warships of nations

    I'm pretty sure they might have stolen that from Scott Adams who did it first
  15. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    The Liberal Party under Archibald Sinclair, was strongly anti nazi. Ironically at the time, Lloyd George seemed to desire at least a dialogue, about peace.
  16. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    Honestly I thought it was your usual usual left wing republican approach and took it with the humor intended. Personally I imagined the "perfect" version of "peerless" as George sacking everybody and running the whole show himself with excessive head kicking. I can see the movie now.
  17. Gideon's Folly: What happens when the USS Monitor never shows up for the Battle of Hampton Roads?

    Fair point. When I wrote that I was thinking more of the quality of the defensive positions abandoned. AFAIK there's nothing on the Peninsula similar in quality to the bluffs at Fredricksburg or the bends of the North Anna River though I could be wrong. But of course it's certainly possible...

    Alternate warships of nations

    Not strictly Elbonian navy, but it is a laugh. The Kirishima is dead meat against the whole Elbonian navy. And let's make a Normandie into an aircraft carrier? Plus other funnies...
  19. AH Cultural Descriptions

    OOC- Just remember, this is the culture thread, not the quote! The (rather lengthy) title to the first complete Black Speech dictionary. A fanmade dictionary, the author was sued by the TOlkein Estate; ina landmark case, both the US and the EU declared that tit was not an infringement on th...
