  1. Disaster Averted (Titanic Lives) On Hiatus

    Which is why even a few ships that became museums turned out to be not quite saved enough, those Russian carriers rotting in China when the money ran out of the Vikrant actually being scrapped for instance.

  2. Disaster Averted (Titanic Lives) On Hiatus

    Also very hard to preserve. Its the same reason so few aircraft carriers or Battleships have survived. The Olympic's were 270m's long, where on earth do you park them? You'd need either a full size drydock (unlike say Victory or the M33 which can sit in an obsolete old dock nobody needs anymore)...

  3. Disaster Averted (Titanic Lives) On Hiatus

    Lenin is likely still in exile in Switzerland, Stalin was in jail at the start of the war and with the war ending early he should still be there as he wasn't due for release until 1917. With Lenin exiled and the war over things probably won't be as bad as OTL so Stalin probably stays a robber...

  4. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Not sure but the majority were in the North (for obvious reasons, also technically the southern zone "isn't occupied" at this point). Probably a good few hours without pilots trained for anti shipping work. The FN will lose ships but the big assets should make it to allied air cover intact...

  5. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Also looks good, the fist of France smashing it's way back out of the German cage.

  6. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    True and De Gaulle held office for only a very brief period, if someone better came along they'd take them, especially someone who could reunite the two Half's of the French military.

  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Probably to late, while "first victim" probably happened that was 19 years before the end of the war and it seems by then "All German's are Nazis" was holy writ so I imagine nothing could have saved them from being sat on forever like the rest of their countrymen.

  8. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    I'd assume arrangements to have carriers off the coast would have to be made (and all the other ships to protect the carriers from subs). Also the Luftwaffe's anti shipping capacity was always poor and is getting much worse at this point in the war. As long as FW200's aren't involved they can...

  9. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    It would have been impossible to exclude Britain anyway as we were still to powerful at that point and while our Empire was destroyed post war during it we were too strong to dictate to instead of asking our opinion. With France its more that the internal problems (some going back to 1789) came...

  10. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Could potentially encourage the "sword and Shield" argument with those who stayed claiming they were simply waiting for their moment. It would also allow the Navy to feel much better about itself as its likely they can successfully shoot their way out of Toulon and then be present for D-Day and...

  11. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    If the fleet sails that will really put the cat among the pigeons. Firstly because it means DeGaule is gone and secondly because it's essentially the "mainstream" French military giving two fingers to the Nazis and returning to the war...

  12. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    He's embarrassed by some of the contents but if you watch Corman's world he has nothing but praise for the man himself. Broadly one gets the impression he wonders why Corman didn't go further and become someone on Weinstein's level (although obviously not evil).

  13. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    Not sure it's seen as shameful. I mean the "Corman film school" has long been an excellent gateway to film making and has launched dozens of careers many far bigger than Roger himself. Although that's because he likes being king of the B's and is quite happy where he is. But if the bigger...

  14. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    True. I mean Corman is well respected and known to be an excellent employer, he just caters to what people want.

  15. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    So broadly the viable bits get out while the OTL petro or cotton stans are kept (and propped up) by Moscow? Could see that, although while the Baltic's are gone whatever more of the states might have stayed if there had been something viable in the offering and they weren't worried about the...

  16. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    True but it was certainly very convenient for him. Also convenient for Spain that the winner was more old fashioned ultra conservative than an actual Nazi. Not that he wasn't still a monster but at least a pragmatic one who kept Spain out of WW2 and (at least in public) moderated his worst...

  17. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Cape to Cairo has already failed by this point (great depression did for the money) and if they have reconciled with Germany and the rights to build the railway are maintained it's rather plausible they would allow it. Especially if they need an ally in a nasty fight more than a rail line that...

  18. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Its entirely possible for Britain to simply hand over a colony they took in 1918 (probably as part of any deal for support in the war to come). Nambia being the only exception because of the South African aspect...

  19. Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

    Many have been modded for that system. Other run on WINE or other Windows emulator's.

    Not now a days, or though some of the latest have such high specs you'll need a new machine and some very old stuff won't run on modern systems.
