  1. An Anglo-French Super Carrier (How close can euope get to a Nimitz class?)

    What if: Britain and France got along better, have been pooling their military R&D budgets since the 1980s, and both collectively decided they wanted super carriers to replace the Invincible class and Clamenceau-class. And not half way house job like the Queen Elizabeth class, but as close to...

  2. A different Paperclip

    President Truman comes to the conclusion that a financially broken Britain woudl be about as dangerous as a completely broken Germany. He is also persuaded that an entire generation of technology could be lost in post war defence cuts. Technology that could easily be aquired for America with...

  3. Churchill's Land Hovercrafts

    Churchill wanted land battleships. Unfortunately, since soil and rock tends to lack the consistency of seawater, what he got was a land Baseplate; famously named to trick wielders into thinking they were making super-gun artillery baseplates. The Mark 1 Baseplate weighed 200 tons, half of...

  4. Civilian B-636 in 1950

    With the success of the Redstone Trident* in the early 50s, Convair's B-36 deal with the USAF gets cancelled (or severely cut back) and they're left with a big hole in their pocket. Then one bright spark suggests they copy the concept behind the Avro Lancastrian and turn the B-36 into a...

  5. WI The M247 Sergeant York had passed testing?

    What if The M247 Sergeant York had passed testing? NB: Not been better, but just passed (presumably rigged) testing? How long would it have been before anyone actually noticed? Given America tends to establish air superiority anyway long before the troops go in, would anyone ever notice until...

  6. DBWI: Mossad actually shoots Gerald Bull

    Wikileaks really should know better than to go after Mossad, but since they did, there's some interesting stuff they uncovered. Apparently Israel was putting serious effort into stopping Gerald Bull from working with the Iraqis on Project Babylon. Seems they broke into his flat several times...

  7. Plus 130 Mark II (Facist America) "It's like 1812, but in 1940"

    Plus 130 "It's like 1812 - but in 1940" "I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10, Downing Street. This morning the British Ambassador in Washington handed the American Government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11.00 a.m. that they were prepared at once...

  8. Feasibility study: M113 in the 1930s.

    What would be the technical obstacles for America to building something like the M113 in the mid to late 30s? Aluminium hull, V8 diesel, able to float, carry a driver and 12 others. (Or a 25mm turret. Or a mortar. Maybe a M24/75mm turret. Or any number of other uses. Add armour as required.)...

  9. Plus 130 (American Nazis) "It's like 1812, but in 1940"

    Plus 130 "It's like 1812 - but in 1940" "I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10, Downing Street. This morning the British Ambassador in Washington handed the American Government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11.00 a.m. that they were prepared at once to...
