  1. The Dead Skunk

    Better he should do so than who ended up making a mockery of them in OTL South Carolina.

  2. The Dead Skunk

    Maybe Sealion Press?

  3. The Dead Skunk

    I'd venture alt-Mary Chestnut saw some slaves pulling a Robert Smalls thirty years early with a steamboat and hightailing it to either Florida or Haiti.

  4. TLIAM: A Series Of Quite Fortunate Events

    Cover art is once again phenomenal.

  5. No 1918 Armistice, could France keep fighting?

    Pick one.

  6. No 1918 Armistice, could France keep fighting?

    You made that sound nefarious. That still does not prevent the total collapse of all their allies in quick succession and the perspective of Franchet d'Espèrey's army in the Balkans and the Italians using their now overwhelming superior numbers in Southern Germany through Austria to bring the...

  7. No 1918 Armistice, could France keep fighting?

    We do? Can you enlighten me as to what I'm attempting beyond expressing serious doubts? Yeeeeeees, and once the monarchy is overthrown, and the government tries to stick to war Kerenski-like, what happens?

  8. No 1918 Armistice, could France keep fighting?

    And I suppose the revolution was due to the sailors celebrating a bit too wildly?

  9. No 1918 Armistice, could France keep fighting?

    Ah, yes, morale was bound to be sky-rocketing with – let me do a quick check: Bulgaria falling, Austria-Hungary falling, the Ottoman empire falling, and mutinies in port.

  10. The Unwanted Clairvoyant. A different French strategy in WW1

    Yeah. You can really feel the Action Française salivating when enunciating such plans. Which, considering that source, cannot have been policy.

  11. A House Divided: A TL

    You could, possibly, as a suggestion, read the preceding chapters. The #32 at the beginning of this one is a bit of a clue, I would have thought.

  12. A House Divided: A TL

    Really, he should have gone with Henri... except it was the restored Bourbons who made a lot of noise about good King Henri (IV) as they were desperately searching around for a model who was not as absolutist or dictatorial as some of the Louises, to the point their Roem clone, sorry, their...

  13. A House Divided: A TL

    Oh, the republicans are going to have a field day with that name. Perhaps not as much as a king John II in the UK but still. Not like he could have reigned under the name of Louis, or Charles, or Ferdinand, because the French and Spanish kings have quite thoroughly blotted the copy book, here...

  14. If Germany sued for armistice in July, Aug, Sep or Oct 1918 could peace terms be softer for them?

    Not quite so sure. It usually takes some time for the realization of how big things are to percolate through.

  15. If Germany sued for armistice in July, Aug, Sep or Oct 1918 could peace terms be softer for them?

    Which is a seriously badly-timed opinion piece, as this was the start of Amiens.

  16. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    That is a slight on Toulouse. Now, Neuilly...

  17. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Which still counts as capturing for the French. And the French have never claimed to be able to be so good believers as to be able to make their horses walk on liquid water.

  18. If Germany sued for armistice in July, Aug, Sep or Oct 1918 could peace terms be softer for them?

    It means German troops will wreck a lot less of the French towns they're still holding rather than let them fall back into the Entente's power. That should diminish the amount of reparations to pay somewhat. Definitely. That's not optional for French leaders and hasn't been since around...

  19. New Deal Coalition Retained III: A New World

    Hey look, I was told something as minor as an assassination attempt on de Gaulle would move him away from doing his damnedest to move France to a Fifth Republic and would have him happy to live his remaining years in peace as President of the Fourth... a Fourth where PR is the norm for...

  20. New Deal Coalition Retained III: A New World

    No. He was elected in Paris. Then the election for that particular seat in Haute-Garonne was cancelled due to irregularities in the campaign's finances forcing a by-election. As a way to give the PS a breather after the general beating it took in 1986, he was chosen to dispute it. The PoD is...
