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

    A question: when the Japanese captured the NEI, did they find any intact 40mm Bofors guns?

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

    I did not mean that the US was not bringing CVs. Nimitz is far too smart for that. What I meant was that the CVs would be present, but would be acting in their pre-war recon/first strike role to cover the BBs on the approach to Midway.

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

    I do not normally play devil's advocate, but the man had been in service since 1901. He was only a year or two away from mandatory retirement age in '43. Having said that, I think it's fairly obvious they wanted him out, but he was too high up in the chain to throw under the bus and so instead...
  4. A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    The atrophization of Roman Italy was surely one of the causes of the fall of the West. Rome built the Empire through Italy but then Italy relied over the provinces once the Empire was restablished... Because is generally agreed in a WRE survival TL, one of the pivotal thumbs of rule would be...

  7. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    I thought of making Douglas Jay President of the Board of Trade, as he was in Wilson's cabinet from 1964 to 1967, but I put George Brown in that post instead. In this TL Brown was not deputy leader of the Labour Party, though he was in the shadow cabinet. Jay was not in the shadow...
  8. IJN Soryu's and USS Wasp's Durability and Usefulness

    If it worked, that is true, Problem however was that the gun itself was OK, but the mounting was not, so the total effectiveness of system was far below expectations and due to be replaced as soon as possible by a more reliable sort of weapon, in this case the copied Swedish Bofors 40mm gun on a...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    All this talk about 'ruining' Transformers has compelled me to link the following. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ruined_FOREVER As Generation 2 has shown, the only thing that can kill Transformers is apathy.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    So, on the CSS mod there is no burgsys Brazilian leader, nor any burgsys character in Brazil, as no figure would fit on it. The only main natsoc is Wilson Passos (alltough he's more of a "nazified conservative" if you get what I mean), and there is no natsoc route since it is impossible as...
  11. WI: The Portuguese Fight on at Goa

    Portugal seemed to have placed a token military force in Goa, most likely in order to not provoke India, But what they didn't really anticipate was the high levels of Indian Nationalism in Goa, which proved to be detrimental in keeping Goa long term, as such when India did invade Goa, Portuguese...
  12. More Microstates

    Great ideas, Penang in particular has all the criteria to be another Singapore. I like the idea of an existing Lanfang Republic but not sure it qualifies as a microstate, it made up like a quarter of Borneo, one of the world's largest islands.
  13. Much more aggressive UN peacekeeping missions

    I tried to think of a conflict where US, USSR/Russia, UK, France and ROC/PRC where complete in agreement about who the good and bad guys were and all I got was a headache and the ONUC Congo intervention. That was apparently approved with US/USSR in favour and UK, France & ROC not caring enough...

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    This is also the longest time (so far) spent in the gravity well of another body other than Earth, an invaluable source of information on how the human body adapts to a different gravity. I bring this up because in OTL we have next to nothing about health in les-than-Earth-more-than-freefall...

  17. AHC: communist Western Eurooe, capitalidt Eastern Europe

    As in the title. My thoughts Scenario 1 - Germans win ww1 quickly in 1914. They take probably Luxemburg, the Baltics and some colonies. The disgruntled population in Western Europe rises up and communist revolutions follow. 2. US does not join ww1, Germans either win a marginal victory...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Ten: The First Administration

    Chapter Ten: The First Administration With Washington now the first president, he had a lot of precedent to set. Most importantly the president could not rule alone. To this end, the convention had already moved to solve this problem. They had given the president powers to appoint executive...
  19. Much more aggressive UN peacekeeping missions

    Because some countries on the Security Council have veto powers. It would be very very unusual for none of them have more interest in supporting one side or the other in a conflict (who would have to buy their arms from somewhere).
