  1. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    The older brother and former (?) crush has fallen into the clutches of the Forestry Service as a Ranger. Last seen "working" on a property owned by Kat but leased to the German Special Forces as their premier training ground.

  2. WI ancient greek city state took on logic in all it's decisions making and behaviour civil and leadership

    ASB, simply because logic is merely a thought process, not an infallible one. You can use logic and still end up with an erroneous outcome, because the data on which you are basing your decisions on may be flawed.

  3. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Elke is just coming to realise that nobody messes with the Tigress' cubs without consequences, and Sophie is most definitely one of Kat's cubs. Elke may have given birth to Sophie, but Kat is her mother. Found family is family, after all.

  4. Short Stirling used as Maritime Patrol Aircraft for Battle of Atlantic?

    Except that the Lancaster was designed (actually redesigned) as a four engined heavy bomber. The Stirling was designed as four engined multi-role aircraft for which bombing was but a part of its specification, hence its size. It was intended to be able to carry its bomb load OR cargo OR troops...

    I think the Aunties are coming to visit Germany

  6. Short Stirling used as Maritime Patrol Aircraft for Battle of Atlantic?

    If Short was allowed to build the Sterling with the original wing, not the shortened pos forced upon them by the Air Ministry, then a lot of the Sterling's shortcomings regarding altitude and range would disappear. Its payload/fuel capacity would also be improved if its mutli-role function as a...

  7. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    People who live next to, or even on, volcanoes tend to become a little blase about them. There isn't much we can do about them, so we don't worry that much about them until we have to. Sadly, this can result in people underestimating the danger when they do get more active than normal.

  8. What if the Soviet Union invaded Iran instead of Afghanistan?

    To be fair to the Soviets, for many of them that baked-in paranoia predates Stalin and goes back at least as far as the Vikings, the Mongols, plus the Teutonic Knights and Ivan the Terrible. Throw in their wars with Poland/Lithuania, Sweden, the Ottoman Empire, the Tartars, the Cossacks, the...

  9. How can we make Japan win???

    Have them not start a war with the rest of the world, including China.

  10. What if the Soviet Union invaded Iran instead of Afghanistan?

    In short? Badly. In the long form? World War 3 could very well kick off. Why? While Iran was involved in a war with Iraq, which was backed by both the US and the USSR at the time, Iran would not be a pushover. Iran was still in the grip of both revolutionary & religious fervour back then...

  12. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    He'd be more likely to have an actual FN Browning automatic for a back-up pistol than a Ruby. He IS the Prince of Wales after all. Since British officers could buy their own pistols, as long as they were of an official pistol cartridge calibre, HRH Prince Edward could even have something a...

  13. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    This is where the sergeant needs to point out to Edward that the sword will make him a target to the enemy.

  14. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    They're recreating the winged hussars as a ceremonial unit, aren't they?

  15. A better Austro-Hungarian Navy for WW1

    It won't matter how powerful the Austro-Hungarian Navy is during WW1. The Anglo-French Mediterranean fleets will bottle it up in the Adriatic where it can't hurt anyone.

  16. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    They kinda make this weapon seem extremely reasonable and sane in comparison

  17. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    Looks like Wilson's government and Wall Street could being seeing a few of these in their futures.

  18. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    The Charlton Rifle, even the Electrolux produced model, was nothing more than a brilliant bodge job undertaken in extremis, due to a critical shortage of firearms. There is no way the Charlton would stand up to real front line service, although Charlton himself was capable of designing an...

  19. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    They would probably discuss the merits of giving a particularly dense offspring a clip around the ears or, in the case of their being more than one involved in a particular act of stupidity, knocking heads together. Possibly even discussing the awe inspiring capabilities of a singular item of a...

  20. What if the Blackburn Roc was designed as a single seat fighter?

    They'd have better off making a torpedo bomber out of the Battle than a fighter. I'd have the Skua as a dedicated dive bomber, although with the more powerful Hercules engine instead of the Perseus. For a naval fighter, I suggest the P.85 version of the Boulton Paul Defiant, modified into a...
