  1. USN Treaty BBs with 14 inch guns

    The USN's North Carolina and South Dakota class BBs get built with 14 inch guns instead of the historical 16 inch guns. I'll assume the follow-on Iowas still get their historical main guns. Like the British KGVs, the original North Carolina design had twelve 14-inch guns in quad mounts. We...

  2. WI: If Italy had expanded its elephant corps for WW-2?

    What if Italy had capitalized on the success of the Eritrean Elephant Corps? Much like Hannibal against Rome, I can see elephants being very useful against the Greeks. http://www.avalanchepress.com/Elefante.php

  3. A King George V BB built in Australia

    I was rereading an article at the Avalanche Press website and noticed a sentence that hadn't registered with me before. Building a KGV in Australia doesn't necessarily mean one of them will be stationed in Australia. It does mean that Australia would have to expand the Cockatoo Island...

  4. 1340's AD - finding a new world, and the Black Death?

    This is an idea I had while eating lunch and reading a Smithsonian magazine. Imagine in the early 1340's ships from Europe reaching parts of North America and returning with evidence, including people. News and rumors of this new world spreads throughout Europe, more or less. More ships...

  5. Who were the good generals of WW-2?

    Something that I have noticed both here and on other forums is that few non-German WW-2 generals are mentioned positively. During the entire timeframe of the Second World War, who were the good generals (typically commanding armies and above), as considered great by this forum? The...

  6. Final Countdown: Where was Nimitz located?

    In the Final Countdown movie, where was Nimitz located on the morning of December 7th? I don't remember how specific the movie was with her location. So educated guesses are fine.

  7. DBWI: If Mexico wasn't part of NATO?

    Recently at a naval wargaming forum I frequent, someone introduced a scenario of NATO against the Warsaw Pact where Mexico wasn't part of NATO. The Carribbean theater was prominent in the scenario, so the presense or absense of the Mexican Navy did matter. All that said, what I really want to...

  8. New Book: Refighting the Pacific War: An Alternative History of World War II

    I found this announcement at the Combinedfleet forum. I plan on getting this book when I have enough spare money to go around. (my note: I assume it was Jim Bresnahan himself who posted this in the CombinedFleet forum.) My new World War II book, Refighting the Pacific War: An Alternative...

  9. Multiple Great Powers or Superpowers of North America

    What are likely ways for two or three Great Powers or Superpowers to arise from the three major nations of North America? A limitation I'm placing on this is that Canada, Mexico, and the USA must all remain in existance, and none being weaker than they are in the present day.

  10. WI: Elizabeth Tudor, rebel and freedom fighter

    Inspired by a comment from PipBoy2999, imagine an England where Elizabeth Tudor became a rebel and freedom fighter for the English. A later-day Robin Hood? Of course, there will a famous painting of her striking a defiant pose with a musket, and another with a rapier.

  11. A macabre ending to the Denmark Straits battle

    Denmark Straits, HMS Hood and Prince of Wales meet KMS Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. The RN cruisers Norfolk and Suffolk are in the area, but too far away to have a good view of the battle. They report a few garbled radio dispatches, and four large visible explosions over a period of 10 minutes...

  12. DBWI: Winter Olympics, Iran wins hockey bronze

    I just finished watching the medal ceremony and I still can't wrap my mind around it. Iran wins the Bronze medal in Men's Hockey at the Vancouver Olympics?! Canada Gold, USA Silver, that gives me a link to reality. But Iran Bronze?! I mean, by now the world accepts that Iran is a hockey...

  13. DBWI: Sealion!, the musical

    Next spring will feature the Broadway premiere of the musical Sealion!, by the team of Bialystock, Bloom, and Liebkind. It is being billed as a fantasy sequel to their smash hit, Springtime for Hitler. There is already buzz about who will play the roles of Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler...
