    A possible scenario : Willy decides - and stays with this decisio - to turn East (first). ... and no mobilisation at this point.

  11. Germany does NOT invade Belgium - The Poll

    We now have/had this rather lenghty discussion on what "Britain" or rather the british politicians in charge might do, if the germans would not invade Belgium as IOTL. IMHO we've learned, that - maybe contrary to someones perception - the answer isn't an easy one as it would have quite some...

  12. Looking for : Alternate Entry of the Ottoman Empire
