  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    70 years today since the St Patrick's Day Raid on 17th March 1954. I imagine that there is memorials in New York and Washington DC to those who were killed.

  2. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    The Great Central London extention was not built to continental loading gauge. The loading gauge was a tad more generous compared to railways built 50 years prior, but it is nowhere near continental loading gauge.

  3. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Postwar, I think the main priorities for the RN in 1942-47 are going to be - Aim to keep seven battleships in commission, once Lion and Temeraire complete, decommission Nelson and Rodney into reserve. All other battleships are to be decommissioned and scrapped by 1947. - Decide if it is...

  4. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    To be fair, in October 1940 Stalin and Molotov ordered that no new battleships were to be laid down, Sovetskaya Belorussiya was to be scrapped (having been suspended mid 1940 due to poor construction) and the focus was to be on completing Sovetsky Soyuz. ITTL I imagine that this would still...

  5. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Enough German field armies have surrendered or are in the process of surrendering that it is unlikely that another stab in the back myth will develop, that and the sheer and utter collapse of Germany with fighting and enemy armies on German soil. With the Allies in Berlin, a surrender by the...

  6. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    I suspect that was more down to her extreme catholicism than anything else. I doubt many royal or well to do brides of the period found their way into the bedroom without some degree of understanding of what married couples did together, even if a lady in waiting had the conversation rather...

  7. Soviets are first to flyby/orbit the Moon

    After Apollo 8, the Soviet leadership went very cold on the Proton-Soyuz Zond flybys, and a manned flyby never took place. What would it have taken for the Zond programme to be safe enough by 1968, or 1969, for the Soviets to consider a manned flyby. Alternatively, was an alternative...

  8. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    That's a submod.

  9. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Norway and Denmark won't be faced with a polar choice between the Swedish-Finno Union and the Entente - both will have largely shared aims in regards to keeping the Soviets where they are, and keeping a foot in both camps will be a very viable option. The Swedish-Finno Union might even be...

  10. The Death of Russia - TL

    Not sure writing from Bald and Bankrupt's prespective is in particularly good taste given the guy is a terrible misogynist and rapist. Otherwise nice timeline.

  11. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    I'm a long timer lurker, but the royal trains, at least in OTL were provided by the Railway companies for the royal family. Most companies would have royal saloon, and ordinary 1st class stock might be used for the various saloons. There was never locomotives owned by the royal family. Some...

  12. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    I've been reading this for a while. I can't see Charlotte marrying the Tsarevich, it's just too challenging politically, and I reckon Charlotte might realise living in Russia would be a huge culture shock. If something were to happen to George and his infant daughters (given the high childhood...

  13. What If Hitler Was Captured by the Soviets in 1943?

    No doubt the Nazis will try and launch some utterly suidical rescue mission if they find out where their Fuhrer is held. I put the chances of success as somewhere below 0%. And that's if Hitler doesn't commit suicide just before he is captured, which is an strong possibility.

  14. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    I'm playing a Bennett game, and it appears like Goring might win the German Civil War. How buggy is Goring with the Cold War mechanics, because I'm considering cheating and having Bormann win instead

  15. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    I'm the same. Are you also crashing just as the game finishes loading?

  16. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    On the topic of post war German borders, Poland will probably annex East Prussia, most of Upper Silesia, Danzig along with a few smallish territorial changes elsewhere. Austria becomes independent, and the French have a enlarged Saar Protectorate and the Rhine might have some kind of...

  17. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    In the post war world it will be interesting if Italy and Japan start aligning with each other - they certainly have shared interests.

  18. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    According to discord there will be a TT dev diary tomorrow, which should be interesting.

  19. WI: Henry VII dies in infancy?

    Louis VIII had a very weak claim to the English throne, yet he very nearly succeeded in becoming king because he had a big army and lots of nobles preferred him to the current king. See my point? I'd be surprised if Jasper Tudor knew who Louis VIII was anyway.

  20. WI: Henry VII dies in infancy?

    Again, if you seize the throne by force by killing the previous king, you are the king, regardless of claim or bloodline. Divine right of Kings wasn't quite a thing yet. The Romans did this quite often. It isn't a recipe for political stability, so you might not be king for very long, but it...
