  1. The Undecided Peace

    I'm really impressed. It's about 6:30AM here, was planning on bedtime around 5, but I got caught up in your web of awesomeness. I can't help but feel you've shortchanged France a bit, especially in giving up Alsace-Lorraine without a fight (No way), but hey. Cool timeline.

  2. Hearts of Iron III

    From the trailer. Notice carefully; the thick border lines are "regions", and they're divided in several thinly-separated "provinces". Much more strategic combat possibilities... imagine the size of the eastern front now. :eek: Notice the Channel Islands are French :D IC will be built at a...

  3. Germany-SU Compromise Peace

    There's plenty of plausible scenarios. Up to after Kursk, Stalin kept feeling for a truce. His most generous offer was in 1941, just before the assault on Moscow. He was willing to give up the baltic states, estern poland, Belorussia and almost all of the Ukraine in exchange for peace, and...

  4. No Hitler--Stalin Then Invades?

    You probably noticed from my wording I'm not 100% certain it's all accurate, but for what it's worth, the best read on this theory is probably: Canaris: The Life and Death of Hitler's Spymaster You can probably grab a copy at the local library. The basics of the idea; Following years of...

  5. No Hitler--Stalin Then Invades?

    It seems pretty likely. Stalin is a pragmatist opportunist; if "No Hitler" means a power vaccum in Eastern europe, you bet he will try to fill that void. If "No Hitler" means an even more powerful, economically strong, internationally supported Germany (Doesnt seem likely to me, but its true...

  6. WI: Soviets betray Germany in September 1939

    It may well have been Stalin's plan; but he expected to be able to backstab after a long struggle on the western front, that would have bled European armies white. Why does he choose to attack Germany at full might in the battle of Poland whilst he has all reasons to believe that in the fall of...

  7. The Right Wing?

    IMO the west wing was well balanced, it presented lots of debate between two strong entities; a liberal White House and an "overpowered" republican Congress that foiled Bartlet more often than not. I cant really manage to see it as a representation of the Clinton administration. I mean Bartlet...

  8. Challenge: Most likely map after Nazi Victory

    Well its fine to ponder it, really, and I think a case can be made for either way. Obviously, this map above goes with the "They meant buisness" theory. Not only do they actually annex them aggressively, but they go for martial law and SS rule in all areas where the annexations are unwelcome...

  9. Challenge: Most likely map after Nazi Victory

    Some very nice maps here. I found this old one laying around, suggesting what happened to Europe 10 years after a devastating Nazi victory. The blitz against Russia was successful and the US and Germany never went to war. The east was difficult to pacify, but progress was steady. After a few...

  10. Germany gets Danzig

    Hitler wanted a war against Poland, and said openly in the last days before the war that his last fear was that a "pork" would once again barter a last minute deal (thinly veiled reference to Mussolini's diplomacy which led to Munich. Hitler believed taking the deal was a mistake till his final...

  11. Title for a World Chief Executive

    Secretary-General would be nice, but lets not kid ourselves, its just as likely to be eventually united through sheer militaro-economic dominance than anything else, in which case, the nut who manages is likely to prefer Emperor or something. At the other end of the spectrum you could have...

  12. AH Challenge: A German invasion of the United States

    It depends what the goals of the invasion are. Occupying the continent is impossible for Germany IMO; but the war plans from pre-WW1 that I've read about, IIRC, were about forcing the US to back down on the Monroe Doctrine to establish protectorates in South America and capture Havana. The...

  13. The Witcher RPG

    In May, they'll release a big patch/expansion that'll be free for those who already own the game, the Enhanced Edition, which aims to fix most flaws of the game, and will include substantial amounts of new models to reduce the fact alot of people look alike, and which also promises to reduce...

  14. Austro-German Empire

    Err, how could something as simple as an austro-german empire possibly could be considered ASB? We really need to review the definition of that term, I think. A Franco-Russian dual-monarchy for exemple would be vastly less likely than what you propose, and still wouldn't require ASBs... Alien...

  15. Alsace-Lorraine stays independent after WWI

    It would be interesting to see its fate tied to that of the Sarre and have it's ownership put to referendum in 1934.. The french could agree to this thinking that the demographics of Alsace Lorraine would let them win the Sarre 15 years down the line, and keep it for good. If, OTOH, the...

  16. 9/11 in Canada

    OK, my last post put aside, lets say I embrace the premise of the question. If I was a terrorist, and I wanted to strike a Canadian target, I think hydro electric dams would be a great target, probably in Quebec and one of those closest to population centers. They wouldnt be the most...

  17. Monarchy restored in Germany in 1928

    I wonder if the Nazis would have accepted to serve under a restored monarchy. Probably. They'd have ensured the monarch had somewhat lessened powers than before the war, and Hitler could have tried to play the part of the second coming of Bismark. Who knows, if the new Kaiser played his...

  18. 9/11 in Canada

    Well Canada under the liberals has no reason to stage an attack on it's own towers, so this would make more sense under Harper. Unless maybe the US are also behind that attack. But I'm not sure the neo-cons would have thought an act of war against a close ally was wise, the very day they were...

  19. Likelihood of Communism

    Ideally, we can hope that technologies like solar energy or other types of so called free-energies eventually allow mankind to consider that (clean) energy is just not an issue. The day this happens you can expect the very concept of scarcity to be seriously challenged on many levels.

  20. Likelihood of Communism

    "Workers" doesnt mean uneducated. Communism was all for education, in fact the USSR's most positive achievement might have been to achieve complete literacy and make advanced education possible for all it's citizens. However, Communism doesn't value the labour of some as greater than the...
