    Why the Chinese play cricket (The Pax Imperialis)

    Thanks @Miss Construction . Honestly I don't think I've sung enough praise for this TL. I know you want to reboot it because you think you can do things better, but I just want you to know that I will always hold this TL dear. Really well done, fantastic stuff and I can't wait to see what you do...

    Alternate British WW1 Grand Strategy: The Baltic Project

    I'm going off what I've read in Allan Mallinson's "Fight to the Finish". He takes the approach that K Class was conceived with the best of intentions, built by the inexperienced and used poorly by the RN. He mentions mechanical faults being a common problem and leading to only one confirmed kill...

    Alternate British WW1 Grand Strategy: The Baltic Project

    The plan is possible, but only with a very different Royal Navy. The navy was much too focused and insistent on the idea that Big Ships and Big Engagements were the ultimate decider in naval warfare. Everything around them was built towards the idea of one knock out blow, but that just not the...

    Could Gallipoli succeed?

    What do you all think about the lack of artillery? Many of the new commanders bloodied by the Western Front were adamant that in modern warfare, the only 2ay to advance was under artillery fire and too a degree that was right. The Battle of Mons and Loo had proven thst against entrenched enemy...

    Could Gallipoli succeed?

    I'll admit I'm not an expert on the Landings and their buildup, but weren't there practice ones on Greek Islands?

    Could Gallipoli succeed?

    Apologies for bringing up an old question. Totally slipped my mind to check for previous threads. I will have a read through them.

    Could Gallipoli succeed?

    The year is 1915. The Western Front has become a bloodbath and all hope of Mobile Warfare has largely been lost. France has devoted most of its available forces to holding the front and practicing their Attack at all costs doctrine. The BEF is still relatively small in comparison to the French...

    AHC: Have the Swastika become a symbol of communism

    If you believe some idiots it already is. They take one look at the term National Socialist, see Socialist and attribute it Communism. Ignoring them, the Nazi party did originally style itself as a socialist party, as a way to bring in the unions and workers. If Hitler has gone another way, it...

    Why the Chinese play cricket (The Pax Imperialis)

    I can't remember if this has been commented on yet, but what is the status of Wunderwaffe? At this point in the war in OTL you had a lot of different ideas being pushed by governments on both sides, that they hoped could end the war. I imagines France is probably experimenting with weapons like...

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

    Anyone else playing the demo? How do I play the Urals Guards? I've no idea what focus tree I'm meant to go down.

    Why the Chinese play cricket (The Pax Imperialis)

    The war is getting increasingly bloody. North America looks like WW1, Europe is a mess and the only theatre that is really seeing movement in Asia. I'm sensing over the overall strategy of the CW is to do something that would have been in any other TL, unthinkable. Knock the US out of the war...

    AHC : Native Americans Immune to Europeans

    Part of the problem is spread. These no guarantee that the initial outbreak in North America, would make it all the way to South America by the time of the second outbreak. You'd see a stronger defense from those who survived the initial outbreak, but due to how much time it would take to...

    AHC : Native Americans Immune to Europeans

    I think avoid the diseases that decimated the Native Americans is impossible. Sustained contact prior to the 15th Century, is very difficult, to provide, at least in such a way that the Natives could immunise themselves, without also facing the same sort of decimation that took place during that...

    Why the Chinese play cricket (The Pax Imperialis)

    He isn't, but those underneath him might. As often the case when it comes to war, those with the best mindset for it are not often the most equipped with politics. If the wind changes, the war starts to not go so well, those bitter soldiers are going to become much more of an issue. So far the...

    Islam in Japan

    Was there a time from the 14th Century onward that Islam could have spread and become the majority religion in Japan? My understanding is the Japan has contact with Islamic traders and fisherman by the time the Portuguese arrived. Could it have been more successful than Christianity?

    Why the Chinese play cricket (The Pax Imperialis)

    I imagine the French finally being able to drive into Germany was a godsend for the French Government. I can't help but wonder how much will they have left for continued warfare. Russia on the other hand has been pulling some wild offensives. I wonder if this is how far they'll get, if lines...

    TLs on Muslim Colonisation?

    While I agree with the similarities the process of assimilation was somewhat different between Roman expansion and the colonisation of the Americas. The Romans preferred strategy of assimilation was to absorb local power structures and mold them into a system that could be used by Rome. Local...

    TLs on Muslim Colonisation?

    Are there any TLs that document the history of Muslim Colonisation of the Americas? I used to read a few, but I can't find them and for the life of me I can't remember their names.

    How would a British and Soviet only war against Germany go

    Based on what I've read the USSR could be knocked out. There is a bit of mystery to how bad the situation in the USSR was at it's lowers point. It was certainly bad, but a lot of this is overplayed to present the USSR as the saviour. Ignoring that the US contribution in aid is estimated at...
