  1. Fewest casualties in Titanic sinking

    Californian was 136m long and displaced over 6000 tonnes, it would not be comfortable, but I think it is safe to say you could find space for over 1000 people on here in a life or death situation. The main issue is transferring everybody quickly.
  2. Alternate Weapons of War thread...

    Here's a painting of some sort of air-ironclad that I did, not really related to any TL or anything. And here's another painting of some Afghan warriors looking at a knocked out land-cruiser, again not related to any TL.
  3. Alternate Weapons of War thread...

    It should have some sort of centralized fire directors, also the guns probably won't be used as direct fire weapons and would be prime targets for any attacker, so they should be inside the inner ring of defenses.
  4. Alternate Weapons of War thread...

    Why does the aerodreadnaught have lifeboats?
  5. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    Have you ever tried using a threshold command to get your lines all one colour?
  6. Keep Battleships In Service?

    AAAAAARGH!!! This is not how armour works!
  7. Name for the New Netherlands after a successful war of independence?

    In a TL where the New Netherlands survives, then undergoes a successful war of independence, what would they change their name to?
  8. Civilization V

    I am quite surprised at the lack of any major ripoffs of the civ series appearing since C2P went bust. If something did show up that might force them to get of their asses and make some actual improvements.
  9. WI: Yom Kippur War turns nuclear?

    That makes much more sense. Their goal is to destroy enemy armies, not turn the world against them.
  10. Operation Sealion, A German Success

    A word to the wise: You can read "HA!!! I got you" from holding your cursor over the thread title. It would be advisory to include a dummy first paragraph the next time you try this.
  11. Most successful DPRK?

    They were doing better than China and the RoK... but it has nothing to do with the war. The DPRK economy did fantastically up till the 70s, then it stagnated.
  12. Civilization V

    Meh, each person has their view and I don't think you can simply state: The Game is Meant to be This Way and I think there's enough people who hold opposite views that you can't make a generalized statement like that. The fact that it was always individual units fighting as opposed to grouping...
  13. The Most "Tragic" Roman/Byzantine Emperors

    I would say Julian. Firstly there's his childhood with his parents being killed, and him being always imprisoned or exiled when growing up. Then there's the whole thing of doing his utmost best to strengthen the empire and restore paganism, and actually having a measure of success against all...
  14. The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere...what was it really supposed to be like?

    Probably some lower ranking official mentioned it as an offhand remark at a meeting.
  15. Civilization V (and Civilization Saga)

    Plenty of decent wargames (Panzer General series for example) have a similar rule.
