    Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    No, when you @ someone they get a notification that they have been mentioned. It's basically an invite to join in the discussion or to get their attention.
  2. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    Not a chance. First, there's no need: the USSR was never far behind the West militarily during the Cold War (at points may have been ahead, although nukes rendered the issue moot). Second, there's no purpose. Guided missiles can do the same thing, but better and cheaper. Third, the ideology...

    ...Those Marvelous Tin Fish: The Great Torpedo Scandal Avoided

    First of all, Paper designs do count as they lead to final ideas. The CV(A)Ls were fully spring-sharped with angled decks in 1930 and were scheduled construction. Second of all, people may argue 1948 or 1949 all they want. British sources state that the rubber matt experiments happened from...
  4. The Forge of Weyland

    Oh, its how I considered it :D I do modify small things as I get some information I didn't know about, but I have planned out the full story in advance (obviously only the next few months in detail, of course).
  5. Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    Have other people made a thread about this or is it something else?
  6. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    The significance of Dunkirk was and is largely psychological. By most measures, it was a disaster for the British and French with the loss of almost all the equipment including tanks, artillery, most of the cars and motor bikes. In other words, the returning soldiers would have bene in largely...
  7. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    How important is that in a WW3?
  8. The Forge of Weyland

    Thanks for the update. If I may ask, is this how you considered your story? Or did you modify it gradually due to our interventions?

  11. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    It was definitely important; it saved a large chunk of the Army and provided a (somewhat) uplifting note to the otherwise unmitigated disaster of the Fall of France. It was not essential; Britain could have continued fighting even without the evacuation, although it's not certain whether or not...
  12. Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    I know this is probably a minor thread, but what if Afonso, Prince of Portugal had lived? In OTL, he had been married to Isabella of Aragon (eldest daughter of Isabella 1st of Castille and Ferdinand 2nd of Aragon) in 1490 but died a year later in a horse riding accident. Had he survived, would...
  13. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    I was thinking about a very different Japan TL where Japan turned out differently in the 17th century and never went fascists in the 20th century. Some samurai clan turned toward big business. Here, is what happened to the Fujiwara/Konoe clan. Here, is what happened to the Tokugawa clan...
  14. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    It was more important as a propaganda victory than a military one
  15. Russian Victory in the Russo-Japanese War?

    They did not want to see Germany, Russia and France joining forces against Japan again + Japan was considered to be a useful counterweight to Russia in the Far East.
  16. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    First off Canada, then white Africans. Plus non white Africans and those from the Caribbean for 'lesser duties'
  17. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    I would think any timeline in which Argentinian aircraft sink either Invincible or Hermes would be followed by a chapter called "Lusty heads south". To have any other outcome requires a pre-1900 PoD (if not a primordial one)!
  18. A Nation of Snow Leopards - A Political Graphical Timeline

    If that's possible, could you show the full list of Nepalese PMs?
  19. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    @tomo pauk has shown that what you proposed could be done. However, ITTL they stopped building Blenheims in the spring of 1940. IOTL Bristol delivered it's 950th Blenheim in January 1940 in favour of Beuforts and Beaufighters. ITTL it will have stopped building them in July 1939 after 518 had...

    IJN Soryu's and USS Wasp's Durability and Usefulness

    1. The PROBLEM was the shell fusing. The sensitive nose fusing of the 28 mm shells tended to go off just at muzzle exit of the US 28mm/70 guns. The US quad mounting borrowed feed from the Swedish naval mounting but was more BRITISH than Dutch in its evolution. 2. They captured the Dutch naval...
