    WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    What he might be referring to... 1. Burgoyne's famous pamphlet stating that he would pacify the rebels even if it required the help of the Mohawks to do it. Considering the bad blood between rebels and natives at the moment, and the (deserved) grisly reputation of the Mohawk, that pamphlet was...

    WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    One thing to note: after American independence, a lot of people were deported to Canada and Britain for being loyal to their rightful king. Up to 1/3 of the population was rebel, and up to 1/2 was loyal. Edit: Was wrong here. Look several posts down to see actual figure. By the end: 600k...

    Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    Rolls-Royce, Derby produced 32,377 Merlin engines. Glasgow Shadow Factory, 23,675 Crewe Shadow Factory, 26,065 Ford Motor Company at Manchester, 30,428. Ford had 10,000 men and 7,000 women making engines, whom had never made anything as complex, at a new factory, 400 a week.
  4. Delay declaration of war and entry of USA against Germany

    Assuming that the Germans do their best to try to delay/prevent U.S entry in the war and Hitler never declares war on USA post Pearl Harbor ,how long could the Germans keep the USA government and its armed forces from officially intervening to support UK and it's allies specially Soviet Union(at...
  5. Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    One of the first ideas of a TL I had was precisely Afonso and Isabella surviving and I have a few things written for a TL which unfortunately I will likely not publish given the number of other things I have to focus on. One of the first things I want to say is that Manuel was like a son to...
  6. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    Perhaps at Derby, and before the real mass production. RR employed a lot of unskilled labor and/or women in their factories.
  7. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Losing all the trained NCO and junior officers would have been a major blow.
  8. WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    Britain showed no desire to commit atrocities against the rebels IOTL, so I don't see why they would ITTL.
  9. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    I hope this is OK. I've read lots of stuff here but haven't contributed much to date.
  10. Britannia Rules the Stars-REDUX

    Poor Germany 😭, then again, it still has it's eastern territory, a Stargate...
  11. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    This is *very* difficult. It is difficult enough to eliminate the peerage. Eliminating the peerage while the government continuing to be H* Majesty’s is a step yet more difficult. Best I can imagine is the parliamentary Labour Party upping its game regarding ministerial and pseudo ministerial...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    Did that vision come before or after he took the LSD?

    Final Light: A Carolingian Timeline

    The question would be which Louis, seems to be a common name in that time period ;) Compared to OTL East Francia/Germany/(soon-to-be-)HRE, they're definitely worse off, losing OTL Brabant, Franche-Comte, Bar, Hainaut, and Liège, to name a few major places that are not part of East Francia ITTL...
  14. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    These may be of interest. They're from: Punnett, R.M., Front-Bench Opposition, The Role of the Leader of the Opposition, the Shadow Cabinet and Shadow Government in British Politics. Heinemann, London, 1973. I know that some of the information is easily found but the Front Benches from 1955-1972...
  15. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    I generally agree - that while all things being equal, the British should win but the 'margin of error' is tight until they manage a full-scale landing. A few miscalculations, errors or sheer chance more against the British, it could have all have ended badly for them. I never forget that so...
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    The basic Allied plan was to attack in 1941 with a heavy advantage in tanks and so on. There really hasn't been much to change this yet. It was always likely Germany would attack in 1940, the intention was to stop this attack, counterattack in 1941, win in 1942. Simples. They still think the...
  17. The Forge of Weyland

    It was an extraordinary measure. To be used but rarely.
  18. AHC: Fletcher Class refitted with RIM-24 Tartar and Mk13 Launcher?

    MAJOR space/weight problem. a single Mark 13 launcher, without missiles, weights 134,000 pounds. That is more than three of the 5"/38 Mark 30 mounts on a Fletcher (which were~41,000 pounds) Tartar missiles (20 of them) adds 28,000 pounds to the upper three decks levels. this doesn't include the...
