  1. Russian Victory in the Russo-Japanese War?

    Isn’t this how Russia generally wins its major wars? It’s a massive land power, grinding the enemy away is playing to its strengths. From what little I have read of the RJW, the decisive factor on land was competent and well-organised Japanese leadership facing off against the usual motley crew...
  2. IJN Soryu's and USS Wasp's Durability and Usefulness

    And those numbers are essentially meaningless. The longest range gun hit in history is around 26,000 yards according to Guinness. Well, technically they list it as 15 miles, but either way the range is the same. That has been achieved exactly twice. One hit by Scharnhorst when she hit Glorious...
  3. Effects of these PoDs in Pakistan and Beyond?

    So they retain Elizabeth as the Queen of Pakistan as a Commonwealth Realm with a Governor-General. Who would be G-G past ‘56? Are there sufficient non-political/non-partisan figures to keep it going, or is that a by-product of becoming a republican system? It seems (to my limited knowledge and...

    Threadmarks: International politics at the end of 1961

    1961 in politics around the world 1961 proved to be an interesting and turbulent year for countries all across the world. The United Kingdom The politics and culture in the United Kingdom in 1961 largely remained the same as IOTL. Harold Macmillan is still Prime Minister and his government...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    A note on how I intend to take this story. AllanCameron has noted in 'Sir John Cardine Lives' that he will be telling his story in a 'narrow but deep' way, concentrating on how the new tanks have affected OTL. My POD is different; the new tanks here are a consequence of the POD, rather than...
  6. Alternate warships of nations

    Jellicoe was actually kind of everyone's choice AIUI. His name comes up favorably every time the First Sea Lord position was open between Fisher's retirement in 1910 and his own appointment. He was just generally considered too junior. Most admirals seemed to assume that he would become First...

    Threadmarks: 19 May 1940 2

    19th May 1940 In the area west of Dinant, the French Army continues a slow advance to the Meuse. While the infantry advance is only a mile or so, aided by an artillery barrage, most progress is made against the 8th Infantry Division. Here 1DCR is pushing forward, and despite the aid of their...

    Effects of these PoDs in Pakistan and Beyond?

    I was rifling through the history of Pakistan and India during and after Partition and looked at these potential PoDs. Let's say....... [1] - In 1948 Jinnah agrees with the opposition parties and makes English the governmental language, whilst making each province (including east pakistan)...
  10. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Well, there are NatSocs introducing their policies in the countries where they are minority - pre-BurgSys-flip Hans Huttig comes to mind and there is Gutrum Vagner (altough in that case he made up the ethnic difference by himself) and there were calls to "whiten" Brazil, so if I was a CSS dev...
  11. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    This requires some handwaving and spending more money. POD Fiscal Year 1954. 4 SCB.27C refits were approved and carried out. The 2 extra ships were Bunker Hill and Franklin. A SCB.27C/SCB.125 refit was funded for Antietam in FY57 and it was completed in 1959. All 9 SCB.27A ships received steam...
  12. Alternate warships of nations

    There's a quote somewhere that Fisher said that something along the lines of Jellico being the Admiral in charge of the fleet at the battle of armageddon against the germans.
  13. WI: The Portuguese Fight on at Goa

    Isn’t Goa basically just a larger version of Hong Kong? There is some fiddling around the margins which can move popular and international opinion one way or the other, a degree of ambivalence amongst the locals, but in the end it all relies on the Bloody Enormous Neighbour being polite enough...

    AHQ: Carolingian Empire survives

    Historians could view it in that way, but they would also have to remember the Germanic nature of the Carolingian Empire. I personally tend to view the Frankish Empire as its own thing. Maybe historians would most likely compare the evolution of the WRE with Sassanid Persia and the later more...

    WI: The Portuguese Fight on at Goa

    I would not say confidently that Goa would vote in favor of India in a referendum so confidently and easily. While certainly Indian Nationalism remained a powerful force in Goa, an American report in 1955 called it 'a strong plurality no doubt, but by all means, majority of the population seem...
