    Steam Gun Boat

    I am interested in Steam Gun Boat, a British WW2 design for a relatively large, well armed ship which was intended to be used mostly in coastal waters and was to be easily mass produced in non-military shipyards. However, it has proven to be to complex, and they were forced to produce them in...

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    Interesting, so the Italians are quite willing to push, and unless the Germans step in, there is little Croatia can do to stop them. But, at least the forces of the new state will be seen by the people to oppose the Italians, and are suffering accordingly. This will certainly win over sympathies...

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    Thank you, if you need any help or information, I am always ready to help. As for naming the reserve units, I am inclined to believe that the name Pučko-Ustaške will be kept, if they are trying to restore as much of Austro-Hungarian traditions as possible. As for connection with Ustaše, I...

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    Well, I must notice that entire timeline of events in Croatia has been changed. No official sanction for the persecution of Serbs, and while there will be incidents, they will be nothing like on the scale of OTL. Also, even with Italians causing problems and laying claim on Dalmatia, government...

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    Situation is heating up. Only way to stop the Italians is through Germans, Croatia at this moment really does not have any organized military forces, and even small numbers of Italian troops are a substantial obstacle. But, nice to see that some sort of military force is to be organized, he has...

    I will leave this here. Maybe it will do some good once military chapters start.

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    When I said organization I meant numbers, armaments, TOEs (tables of organization and equipment) and so on. What would be interesting to see is will there be substantial communist resistance, and how would they fare against TTL Domobranstvo, which is not demoralized from the start by loss of...

    It seems to me only Croatians read this.

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    @John_Smith Have you given any thought on the organization, arming and numbers of the military forces of the Republic? I suggest that the name of the army is kept as it was in OTL, that being the Hrvatsko Domobranstvo - Croatian Homeguard, reinstating the legacy of Royal Croatian Homeguard of...

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    Without substantial Italian or German support, it is unlikely that Ustaše could form a serious threat to the newly formed government. As I said in the post above, Ustaše were a very small group, with "hardcore" membership numbering some 200 men, and with minimal support amongst the people of...

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    I frankly do nor know what Italy will or will not do, thing is, without Pavelić willingly signing off Dalmatia, they have no peaceful options. Remember, this time around, Germans made an offer to Maček and he accepted, maybe the Italians will see that as a sign that Croatia belongs firmly in the...

    The Promise of a Clean Regime | An Independent State of Croatia TL

    Watched. I am really liking what I have seen so far, it is not very often that Croatia is shown on this forum works. And I must say, having Maček taking over instead of Pavelić will really cause some serious changes. Without Pavelić, there are no obligations towards Italy, no Roman Treaties...

    Effects on USA in case of early Central Powers victory

    My idea goes like this, CPs manage an early victory before the US enters the war. How and why CPs won is not important here, I am interested what effects would it have on the US. What would be the effects on the economy, society and military of the country. Would the great economic crisis of...

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Has anything been said about what direction small arms of postwar period will take? One can assume that Entante nations, and countries aligned with them will have at least some standardization, but has it been mentioned in detail? Entante does have a rather large number of rifle cartridges in...

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    I wonder if tanks are the most critical weapon that Union lacks. Would not aircraft, artillery and motorised transport be of much higher priority? They still have to standardize their calibers, as well as unify the railway gauges, all of which will not be cheap or quick.

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Somehow, I do not see them implementing that kind of organization. US had it for a very short period of time, from 57 to 63, and other armies which adopted it, relatively quickly abandoned it as well.

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    It will be interesting to see how society develops after the war in this TL, especially in the Britain and France. France will not suffer the humiliation of defeat and occupation, while Britain will not be completely impoverished and reliant on US as in OTL. Barring the German capture of Paris...

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Only thing I remember in relation to tank design around the world, is Italian P26/40 which is to be engined with Nuffeld Liberty engine. However, Italians have not had encounter with either British or Soviet tanks, which means that TTL version of P26/40 will be somewhat different. Here you have...

    WI better prepared Austria-Hungary

    IMHO, best areas to concentrate their increased budget would be transport and artillery. Having more railway regiments would certainly be helpful, as would having more rolling stock and railways in general. Artillery modernization would prove a huge boon, especially if its finished before war...
