    Best English dinasty

    Well, in TTL the grandson of the Black King Will marry Catherine of France and so Edmund Tudor would never be born
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    To expand on the possibility of armoured forces in Crete. Here is a quote from the above document relating to the first day of attacks on Maleme airfield:
  3. Max Andersson

    Malê Rising

    Yet another long-time lurker here, who has just finished reading this amazing timeline. The thing that made the greatest impression on me were the continuing narratives, the Abacar family history , and especially the story of András Weisz marching across a continent to find out that his...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Possible yes. But the 6" plate on the front hull of the Churchill VII was welded so maybe this had to do with quicker manufacturing or greater overall ballistic protection for the turret only. The Centurion went from a part welded part cast to fully cast turret, so this decision probably had to...
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Hmm. It does get harder to properly weld plate the thicker it gets. Maybe this was a limitation of the welding process of the time?

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    It can be rather grim, yes... RST (River Standard Time) has a UTC offset of -6. The majority of the United States is on RST, with some of the fringe areas being on different timezones. The New York Special Economic Region itself is on UTC-4, to sync with New England, which it trades with more...
  7. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    if you want a single engine N/F in 1940 then I recommend the turretless Hawker Hotspur or the Henley, unlike the Defiant which would need considerable work on the wing to fit cannons, both these aircraft can be fitted with the existing Hurricane outer wing and gun armament.
  8. 2021 Turtledoves - Best Early Modern Timeline Tiebreak Poll

    Heretic seems like it won't make it, but the others are neck to neck so I guess they will just all be declared winners. Another tiebreaker poll seems unreasonable.
  9. ...Those Marvelous Tin Fish: The Great Torpedo Scandal Avoided

    Not to puncture your bubble but HMS Warrior was used for tests including trying a "shewed" ie angled landing area in 1948 so something is off with your source. https://www.navy.gov.au/history/angled-flight-deck Paper designs don't count , its only built ones that do

    2021 Turtledoves - Best Early Modern Timeline Tiebreak Poll

    I doubt there’ll be a four way tie again, though in a two way tie they can just declare two way winners, in the scenario of a three way tie another tiebreak poll could occur.
  11. WI: market friendly Stalin?

    Nonsense. Stalin joined the Russian Social Democrats before the Bolsheviks were even a thing, and was with them as soon as the split happened. This was when both the RSD and then the Bolsheviks were tiny, powerless, and persecuted. This is not the action of an opportunist out only for himself...
  12. Map Thread XX

    Westeros is not actual Medieval Europe. If you have read the books then you know a House's reputation is judged on the actions of it's members.. Tywin is not respected, he is feared those are different things and we see how his way of doing things led to his death.. Remind me again, which...
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    While welded armor is indeed superior to cast armor at such thicknesses, and as long as the British don't resort to efficient rounded shapes for cast armor (which is not gonna happen anytime soon if we go by OTL wartime British cast turrets that were still pretty much boxy, and really everyone...
  14. AHC: Shortest possible Dutch Revolt?

    What would be the shortest possible timeframe in which the Dutch Revolt could have ended with a major Dutch victory? It lasted for 80 years which is extremely long period of time for an European war. Did the Dutch make some significant mistakes that made the war draw for so long?
  15. 2021 Turtledoves - Best Early Modern Timeline Tiebreak Poll

    But what happens if all of them tie again? Four Turtledove winners in one category? I don't think that has happened before.

    Maybe here they just work with DuMont?

    WI: Worst Spanish response to the Dutch Revolt

    During the Dutch Revolt, the Spanish response was a bit of mix bag. On one hand, they were able to recapture Flanders, and Brabant due to talented generals in the later stages, and ending up keeping the Southern Netherlands until the War of Spanish Succession. However on the other hand...
  18. Best English dinasty

    Ehm, legitimacy aside, they are male line descendants of the Plantagenets. Capetians also are still exants as the Bourbons descend from them in male line
  19. Hitler without Morell

    The issue is we can’t certainly prove what decisions Hitler made because he was on drugs and what decisions Hitler made because he was Hitler so any response would only be speculation. You can’t prove one way or the other that without Morell Hitler wouldn’t have made a mess of Case Blue or...
  20. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Since Crete seems to be coming up a lot, here is maybe the best source I have found on it: http://www.allworldwars.com/Airborne-Invasion-of-Crete-1941.html It basically includes analysis of the operation by various allied intelligence agencies and officers after the fact. Its pretty...
