  1. 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...

  2. WI West Germany buys the EE Lighting and not the F-104?

    As the title. I think the Lighting could well have been a better aircraft for W Germany, as in a point to point fighter, than the F-104. If no bribes were involved could W Germany have bought them? If so what could be the pros (less dead pilots for a start) and the cons? Type about this for a bit

  3. AHC Saxon 'Vinland'

    I can see no real reason why Saxon England couldn't do the same as the 'Vikings' by crossing the Atlantic and setting up a settlement on the east coast of what is now Canada and the US. Yes, there is the matter of Norse raiding, yet that was back and forth over 100's of years and sailing a small...

  4. Stalin Dies October 1950

    As the title. The main question I have is how would his death effect the Korean War? China joined the war in Nov 1950, 1) Would they still do the same as OTL? 2) Wait a bit, and see what happens with the leadership of the USSR? 3) Not join the war at all? Of course if you wish to expand to...

  5. WI. No Battle of Hastings?

    This has come up before, but I don't think like this Everything is OLT up until, lets say 1st October 1066. Instead of rushing down the 225 miles to the South Coast, Harold decides to take some time, not too much, to gather more forces. This does take time, but not too long, he still moves...

  6. AHC. An Extremely Isolationist USA Post 1920

    After being lied to by Wilson, and his promise to keep the US out of WWI and it's frankly piss poor involvement in the conflict, the US turns completely in on its self. Apart from the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico, that want nothing to do with the rest of the world. Both parties, more or...

  7. The size of BNA without the ARW

    How big could British North America get without the ARW? Now how the ARW doesn't happen is not important here, it's just doesn't happen. There was a semi bar on settlers beyond the Appalachian's to the west, Up north is Canada and to the east and south the sea. When the next Anglo-French war...

  8. WI No 22nd Amendment

    As simple as the title really. Which, if any, POTUS would have been elected for a third term, and why. Should add, if this strays to much into currant pol chat, could a wonderful mod move to that section?

  9. WI A Weaker USSR at the end of WWII

    Lets say everything is the same until the USSR launches Operation Bagration. This was a complete Russian victory, but what if it wasn't? This doesn't mean a complete German victory, because that would be pushing it, but they stop the USSR from making gains on the Eastern Front for what, 4-6...

  10. W.I. Hitler dies fighting?

    Joseph Goebbels said in a radio broadcast the Fuhrer died fighting the Russians in the Battle of Berlin, yet what if he did? He was, Hitler, that is, was not in the best frame of mind for at least 6 months before his death, would anyone have stopped him going to the front line? He was by many...

  11. WI. Cold War 1930

    Right chaps Lets say the Soviets win the Polish war and the Hungarian and Romanian soviets are successful in those countries. That brings us to, lets say, the end of 1922. No doubt the Baltic States will ask for 'help' and Stalin will be only too willing to give them just that. That bring us up...

  12. WI. Anglo-French Panama Canal?

    As the French had, lets say, had bitten off more than they could chew and had no money left what could have happen if the UK had stepped in as a partner? Either the UK government or a private group, like shipping and rail companies. The US would be put out, but by then they couldn't have done...

  13. WI No V-2 but more and better V-1's?

    The amount of time, money, effort and resources wasted on the V-2 program, was let's say not good. So lets say it was never started, or more likely closed down (early 44?) when it was known it wasn't going be anything like as good as when first thought. Instead work is poured into upgrading the...

  14. WI France Partitioned/Split after Waterloo

    France had been a right pain to most of Europe for nearly 200 years before Nappy was finally defeated at Waterloo. If the countries of the 6th/7th Coalition make sure they will never do it again, what happens. Now how many countries could there be in place of France? I'm thinking four each under...

  15. Stalin dies on...

    An easy one, well, most likely not! Stalin dies on one of the following dates and how things may play out. Every thing is the same up to these dates. 15th Sept 1939 22nd June 1941 2nd July 1943 29th Jan 1945 I should things will be not so good for the USSR, who may take over, and how long...

  16. Tactics of the US if it invades Canada 1890

    Some ideas about this would be nice. Why this happens doesn't matter for the question Given the size of the US armed forces in the late 19c, an army of about 15,000 and a navy of 6 modern ships how badly does it go. Lets say a path towards war has been building up for a 6-9 months. This the US...

  17. WI Japan Only Invades the DEI's?

    Instead of going to all the bother of fighting everyone and losing as soon as the first shot is fired, The Dutch East Indies are the only target? This will not stop the US and UK from joining in somewhere down the line, yet 100,000's of men will still be able to fight in China and maybe win once...

  18. WI Germany Attacks NY in Dec 1941

    WI the Kriegsmarine manages to shell New York city, the port more so in the few weeks after war is declared. Now I'm not taking about taking a fleet with battlecruiser's and the like. Say up to 6 Type IX U Boats stand off at 6/7 miles and blast away with their 10.5 SK C/32 guns at night. These...

  19. WI. A Canal Between Lake Michigan and the Illinois River?

    As the title How hard can it be? The Suez Canal was opened in 1869, the first Welland Canal, Lake Erie and Lake and lake Ontario in 1829 and second in 1848. How about a POD of between 1855 and 1870 for a large ship canal to be finished by 1885. Type about this for a bit:)

  20. The RAF, just that little bit better in 1940

    Am not talking about an all singing, all dancing, smash the Germans in 10 days, but, a small step in the right direction. Little things like, The Merlin 45 being ready in mid 1939 and being retro fitted in the Mk I Spitfire by early 1940, therefore giving the RAF a MK V, and a MK VB in summer...
