  1. A better Austro-Hungarian Navy for WW1

    Could go for a number of fast light cruisers 10/12, 9 6'' or 8'' guns. Double the amount of destroyer's and as many torpedo boats as they can manage. Any pre dreads they have can be port defence. But most important make them good, no cutting corners, reasonably cheap over all. They are not a...

  2. AHC: USA loses to Italy in a war (1861 start point)

    Italy wins anytime before the US really builds up it's Navy, before 1905? Before around 1890 USN had very few ships that could stand up to any power in Europe. All Italy has to do is blockade the ports, they win

  8. Possible and Probable Inventions of a Stable WRE

    Life in the WRE and the empire in general was full of ups and downs, more downs in many cases. However if the empire was more stable, which normally means more money to go around, which inventions could have come earlier? I'm not thinking of great leaps like the steam engine, or gunpowder, but...

  9. Wallies reach 1938 Soviet borders -- what do postwar borders look like?

    Think this is going to need a number a narrow fronts. Bypass Holland for a start, but still have enough troops to stop a counter attack from there. Get straight in to the Rhur but only go for targets of strategic value, doesn't matter if town X has 1,500 troops, they're not going to be able to...

  12. If the USSR does not fall, would it currently be more powerful militarily than the United States?

    No France means Britain can send more ships to the east coast of the would be US. They would be able to stop half the French ships reaching the traitors. They can send the ships to Canada to resupply and off home they go, o good pissing of the French by taking the ships as a prize. They might...

  15. Would a French invasion of Belgium in World War I have led to a guaranteed defeat for the Franco-Russian Alliance?

    Britain said it would protect Belgium and it did, trade comes second if you have given your word

  16. Would a French invasion of Belgium in World War I have led to a guaranteed defeat for the Franco-Russian Alliance?

    British options? They will be content to let the French, Germans, AH and Russia play silly games as long as it doesn't effect trade too much. If it does they would press for peace and become the peacemaker. They well may get involved if things get out of hand, or full on medieval, in Belgium...

  19. AHC: A federal ban on slavery (equivalent to 13th amendment) by 1885, without a secession or suppression of secession

    Outside economic pressure lead by the UK. Workers refuse to use cotton farmed by slaves quickly followed by factory owners doing the same.
