  1. WI: Ford had built the Mustang as a wagon?

    This has me thinking of a Mustang pickup, again something Ford didn't build. Turns out that one of their dealers ran with the idea and produced the Mustero, a combine of the Mustang and the Ranchero. https://www.throttlextreme.com/1966-ford-mustero-ford-mustang-pickup/ A dedicated Mustang...
  2. WI: socialist parties in Germany and France oppose WW1?

    It really depends on how broad their support is, especially within the classes of conscripts that have already been called up. That could cripple attempts by the authorities to crack down on these strikes.
  3. When did Western Europe become truly dominant?

    Define dominant: with some PODs in the first half of the 19th century it is possible for British rule in India to collapse whilst China does better leading to those two areas avoiding domination by Europe in both a political, economical as cultural sense. However then Africa, Australia, Siberia...
  4. AHC: European Colonial Empires Go Cosmic

    It might be if they play their cards right and keep the other great powers focused on each other.
  5. European culture withou ww1?

    If ww1 and ww2 never happen what could impact be on European culture in general? Do you see the world of 2021 AD being significantly diferent culturally than it is today?
  6. Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War

    The Danish navy alone was enough to dominate the Prussian one (which consisted of 4 steam gunboats at this time) and defeat the Austrian one (4 stream frigates). However, the Swedish army is really not good enough to make a difference against Prussia's army and von Moltke the Elder - the...
  7. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    You're still arguing for a tank which is slower to produce, and more expensive than the Valiant, and which is worse in all performance metrics bar armour thickness. Except that entire argument is pointless, because you'd need far more Matilda IIs to support a line of advance than you would...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Given Britain and the Commonwealth seem to be going with the Valiants of both flavours as there main tank there will most likely be a lot of them when the USA enters the war given they will need to spool up their military and will need the equipment I imagine both the USMC and the US Army will...
  9. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    In 1936 the structure of the Night Battle Groups (Yasengun) was: Yasen Butai (Night Battle Force) Sentai 3: 4 Kongo BC, Sentai 4: 4 Takao CA, Sentai 9: 3 Oi CL No.1 Yasengun Sentai 5: 3 Myoko CA DesRon 2: Jintsu CL and 16 Kagero and Asashio DD No.2 Yasengun Sentai 7: 4 Mogami CA DesRon 4...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Didn't the US Marines spend most of the war under a rule requiring any tank be under 20 tons for transport or some such number (maybe as little as 5 tons?) or is my brain playing tricks on me? Anyway, if they did that would preclude using the Val until about the same times as they started using...
  11. When did Western Europe become truly dominant?

    When we talk about Western Europe I expect you mean the Catholic/Protestant world. In such a case I would say at the Second Siege of Vienna, when it failed no non-European power was a potential threat again until after WWII.

    Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War

    No sure what effect it will have on the land war but the Swedish and Norwegians fleets would trounce the Prussian fleet.
  13. Alternate warships of nations

    The original plan for the Renown’s was to use small tube boilers. To save time and expense, they instead took HMS Tiger’s power plant, added 3 boilers and called it good. If, in an updated version, you instead used the small tube higher pressure machinery of the day, and used D-steel rather than...

    How World War III starts ITTL: Larry Hogan, looking at a map of the world: "The Canadian Ambassador sneezed on a portrait of Hamilton. Wipe this pathetic planet from the face of the galaxy."
  15. WI: Motorized road transport developed before rail

    Pavane, by Keith Roberts, especially the first story, "The Lady Margaret", has this. Large steam freight haulers, smaller private vehicles (aided by sails).
  16. A New Age: An Alternate History of the 11th Century and Beyond

    Fantastic chapter. Waiting for more.
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Why bother with welding when Matilda II producers can keep casting the "Commonwealth" version instead? Same deal as OTL welded and cast Sherman production or welded and cast turret Churchill III and IV.
  18. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    The Privy Council holds the most power now in the U.S and there is no way for the LPP to control the body as it is rigged by the DSU.
  19. Best English dinasty

    I presume that’s what people have done.
  20. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I will try to explain some things to help Ashley 1. American news networks are generally propaganda pieces of the government and the regime (like why Wikipedia articles about China never cites CCTV, CGTN, and Global Times) 2. As you can expect from such regime, Wikipedia is blocked by a Internet...
