  1. Scarlet Seas, Crimson Banners: An Illustrated Setting

    The illustration depicts the view from the flag bridge of the cruiser "Pretoria". Visible out the port side are the corvette "Karoo Wind", the cruiser "Majuba", and accompanying aerial scoutcraft, comprising the Squadron Dingaan. This division of the Fleet Republic Vryheid plies the trade routes...

  2. How long could the Courland Pocket have held?

    I know the Soviets never made a concerted effort to liquidate the kessel because it was more expedient to bypass it and not risk so many casualties during the last days of the war (just as the WAllies bypassed the besieged Channel ports), but it seems like the encircled units had enough in the...

  3. WI General Sikorski doesn't die in '43, continues to lead Polish government-in-exile

    I tried searching for this POD, but the site's search function tells me there are no existing threads about it. So how would Polish government-in-exile have acted differently in 1944 and 1945 if Sikorski had not been replaced by Anders? I read that Sikorski was on reasonable if not cordial...

  4. Geistkrieg: A Shadow Over Egypt

    I've been doing some freelance artwork for a RTS game over the past year (my first and probably last foray into the world of game development), and today it just went public so I can share info about it now. It's called "Geistkrieg: A Shadow Over Egypt" and it's an RTS game that combines...

  5. Maxime Weygand's career advancement if it were revealed he was of royal descent

    During his lifetime, there was already speculation that he was fathered by Leopold II on account of the Belgian royal stipend he received throughout childhood, and I've read some compelling arguments that he might have been the illegitimate son of Emperor Maximilian and one of Charlotte's...

  6. Atomic bomb ready for use before German capitulation: Matters of target selection

    Assume the Manhattan Project's pace of work is accelerated and they have the bomb ready for overseas deployment by early/mid April of 1945. Maybe Allies get stalled on the Rhine and OKH was allowed to pursue a more flexible defense in the East so encircled units are allowed to break out and...

  7. Block 109 (AH WWII comic series)

    Has anyone else read this bande desinee series? This one is mostly for the Francophones, since I don't think there's an English translation out there yet. While the AH plausibility had a lot left to be desired (basically seemed like an excuse for some Nazis vs Infected vs Soviets action going on...

  8. WI SADF captures Soviet advisors during Operation Protea (1981)

    Ok, I know there are some scattered South African accounts that insist the SADF captured one Soviet officer who was subsequently whisked away by the intelligence apparatus never to be seen again (presumably repatriated to the USSR after secret negotiations), but many sources don't mention the...

  9. AHC: metric system established as standard of international aviation

    With Post-1945 POD, is it possible for metric to be adopted as standard of international aviation instead of just in Eastern Bloc and China? Or is postwar American dominance in aviation too strong an influence to compete against?

  10. Getting the "Chinese War Participation Army" to deploy to the Western Front

    With the aid of foreign loans and Japanese instructors, the warlord Tuan Ch'i Jui built up a (by Chinese standards) pretty formidable army with the intended goal of sending it to assist the Allies on the Western Front. The war ended before anyone could even consider to the remote possibility of...

  11. Dan Pienaar survives, possible post-war political career?

    On another forum, I was reading some discussion about whether Dan Pienaar might have become a Jan Smuts Mk II, combining his war hero prestige with a moderate political platform to counterbalance the right wing Afrikaner nationalists in post-war South Africa. Is this a reasonable assessment?

  12. AHC: Make Minitel a lasting success

    What would it take to have Minitel thrive into the present day? Any post 1980 POD will do.

  13. WI British government does not approve sale of Nene engines to USSR?

    What sort of jet fighter would the Soviet design bureaus come up with if they are stuck with the RD-10? How would the air war over Korea proceed in the absence of a strong Soviet competitor to the UN's F-86s?

  14. Prospects for Southeast Asian independence movements without Japanese occupation

    In the highly unlikely event that the Imperial Japanese Army clique got their way and Japan pursued a Northern Strike strategy against the USSR instead of the Navy's preferred Southern Strike against the European/American colonial holdings in Southeast Asia, how would the various independence...

  15. Wunderwaffen, Vol. 1-2

    I found English translations of Volumes 1 and 2 of Wunderwaffen, a French alternate history comic. It's your standard Luft '46 premise, but well illustrated and with generally high production value, in my opinion. Volume 1: http://imgur.com/a/Rz9WH#0 Volume 2: http://imgur.com/a/o40U5#0...

  16. Spread of HIV/AIDS under surviving White-Minority Rule in South Africa

    So if the white minority rule government had stayed in power into the 21st century, with all the associated international trade sanctions remaining in force, how would the spread of HIV/AIDS in Subsaharan Africa be handled by SA?

  17. Scarlet Sands, Crimson Banners

    Excerpt from a lecture presented by Group Captain C. S. Kriechbaum at the fifty-ninth Fleet Review of the League of Nations Three centuries have passed since the defeat of the American irregulars and their Separatist co-belligerents at the Battle of Pavonis Mons by international forces of the...

  18. Post-war Poland after a successful Warsaw Uprising

    This thread is not about how to have the WAllies plausibly convince Stalin to greenlight support fo the Warsaw Uprising. Instead, I am more interested in the post-war political situation/occupation in the event that the Polish Resistance and Home Army survived the Uprising more or less intact.

  19. War Thunder ventures into alternate history

    It's not the most original scenario, but it's a start and it does set a precedent alongside the far less original "[Operation] Dover" map (which essentially revolves around a small scale Sealion invasion at the eponymous port)

  20. "Beyond Thirty" / "The Lost Continent"

    Has anyone else read this E. R. Burroughs pulp fiction short story from 1915? It posits a world where the First World War never ended and Europe/Russia collapse into barbarism over the course of several centuries. America remains strictly isolationist to the point of completely cutting off all...
