  1. How would the Roman pagans classify Asian/American Gods and Goddesses?

    Going by their practice in Britannia then they will just Romanise the gods - presuming that there are no objectionable practices (human sacrifice or over use of dodgy boose ). The only other issue is if followers were to rise in armed rebellion, but even then it only applied to those in actual...

  2. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    There is no issue using British stock on the Continent, the UK during both wars sent plenty over and back, hence the train ferry routes established during World War One, the issue is always that standard UIC gauged stock cannot run in the UK due to loading gauge issues, so you need special...

  3. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    I have really enjoyed this and have looked forward to every update, thank you @fester for this opus

  4. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    When they tried FM diesels in railroad locomotives post war they were not that successful, however the engines were excellent marine units and later as static generators.

  5. Decolonisation if WW2 never happened?

    Hopefully slower would mean that things were better organised...

  6. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    The former Prime Minister's plan for a bridge between Northern Ireland and Scotland ran into the issue of the amount or ordnance dumped into the Beaufort's Dyke.

  7. ALTERNATE CORONATIONS

    St Pauls probably would not be used as it is the City's church, possibly Winchester as the capital of Wessex or Canterbury, but I would expect for political reasons a northern church to be picked - York comes to mind

  8. Getting Ahead of Ourselves: A B-29 TL

    I am not sure that you need Grand Slams, Tallboys were quite effective though complex to make, one managed to penetrate 60' into a hill and then explode in the railway tunnel 617 squadron were bombing...

  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    You could always get the Gordon Highlanders to speak Doric Scots, that would confuse the Germans no end...

  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Congratulations!

  11. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    @fester, isn't HMS Robert and HMS Roberts the same ship?

  12. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - Volume I: The Abode of Peace

    So sorry to hear your news, my condolences to you both

  13. A Better Decade - a British TL.

    Surely the next Olympics are in 1940, as they are every 4 years and the last was in 1936

  14. Det som går ned må komme opp-An Alternate Royal Norwegian Navy TL

    Actually both the Swedes and the Norwegians could easily supply more steam and electric power though funding would help. As a side note the Swedes purchased two ex-WD 2-8-0 locos to replace some of the elderly private railway locos with a plan to buy 100 and put them into a war reserve in due...

  15. Det som går ned må komme opp-An Alternate Royal Norwegian Navy TL

    Sorry I buried my reply in the quote in error The Swedes began wiring the Iron Ore line from Luleå to Narvik very early as steam proved less than efficient in the Arctic conditions and was complete on the Swedish side in 1922 (I believe the Narvik - Kiruna section was earlier), and the line was...

  17. Det som går ned må komme opp-An Alternate Royal Norwegian Navy TL

    There is a railway all the way from Trondheim to Stockholm, but at the time steam would have been required for part of the route within Sweden as well as Norway (the Swedes completed electrification in 1945 to the frontier). The Narvik - Luleå - Harparanda / Tornio is possible though transfer...

  18. Det som går ned må komme opp-An Alternate Royal Norwegian Navy TL

    Also to extend the wall south down the east coast of Denmark is going to involve fortifying lots of islands and with the exception of the Little Belt bridge you will need a ferry to get to them- more gardening for the RAF

  19. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    There is plenty of film and photographic evidence from the period of both Sweden and Finland lining the streets with firewood cut to standard lengths ready to be fed into the boilers of apartment blocks. The Swedes certainly used a lot of gas generators on trains, buses and cars. A lot of...

  20. Det som går ned må komme opp-An Alternate Royal Norwegian Navy TL

    The Germans could increase the shipments in the navigation season and also ship via rail to southern Sweden but less convenient
