  1. Into the Fire - the "Minor" nations of WW2 strike back

    will the problems during the french offensives led to a reorganisation of the french systems? Even small things (like not having HQ depending on civilian telephone network... with operators taking a 2 hour lunch break) might change a lot of things in June 40

  2. Germany fights to the bitter end in ww1, no ww2?

    Just one point to add. The entente warplans for 1919 had offensives spearheaded by literally 1000s of tanks (up for the 100s assembled for late 1918 attacks - e.g. 500+ for Amiens attack). The Germans had no effective answer to this (their planned AT weapons for 1919 could only penetrate the...

  3. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    There were precedents. Napoleonic wars saw a few capitals attacked. 1870 also comes to mind (not directly in, but not far ...). There are also older examples...

  4. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Can you double check, because I see Leffe triple at 8.5% and Affligen triple at 9% when googling to doublecheck my memory. edit: I'd really like to see a classical triple at 13.9%. Maybe it was a special brew (happened to me once. I was used to Fraoch beer at 5% and once, I drunk a full 1l...

  5. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    more like 9% in this case

  6. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    The other questions is, will it go better than OTL 1940 offensive or will it end up something like Pont Saint-Louis (when 9 French soldiers stopped 4,000 Italian ones until Armistice)

  7. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Not exactly. The ones who left were the ones who chose not to pledge to the French Republic but definitely not all the German ethnic people (which is most of the population anyhow, including the ones who feel French, speak only French and reject Germany violently). However, some pro-German...

  8. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    Actually, given the current French domination, I believe they could accept a treaty which freezes the number of battleships at current numbers. I believe they have parity with the next 5 naval power combined.

  9. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    1) Maginot line protects France from German attack, not Germany from French attack. You're thinking Siegfried line for the 2nd part. Which was much less substantial, even if the French 1940 GHQ thought it was much more imposing than it really was. 2) After WWI (ie after Maginot line was...

    Or San Marino.

  11. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    What about the Romanche part?

  12. Marche Consulaire: A Napoleonic Timeline

    Won't work for a journalist. Serfs is pronounced as Cerfs but is written differently, so will not be useable by any newspaper. Unless you wait until radio is a thing... Will work for a political speech, or a popular joke.

    AMGOT marks?

  14. WI : Death dates of Foch and Pétain swapped

    with Foch still living and Petain dead in 1929, French military policies (and in to some extend foreign policies) in the 30s will differ a lot from OTL. Possibly a French military intervention in 1936.

  15. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    Strategically, an alliance between Ottomans and Ethiopia does not seem to make much sense, except to attack the French. Which would be national suicide

  16. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    So, something similar to OTL MAS49/56 ultimately?

  17. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Esp since it can be fitted with the 25-bullets magazine of the FM24/29 if necessary (note that this makes it difficult to fire when fully prone, however). Edit: I could have sworn I put an image in... I wonder, is there a way to transform the MAS40 into a full automatic?

  18. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    two of them actually. Joffre and Painleve https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classe_Joffre french version because the english one is ridiculously short

  19. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Maybe because the Greek Empire did not quite extend to China (despite Alexander)

  20. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    It's not just about USA (or from USA). When we last visited Greece (Creta, to be exact), a british tourist asked my wife if she was greek..... The problem? My wife is Chinese (and definitely looks like so). We're still laughing about it.
