    Premodern Scouting/Reconnaissance Tactics

    I was wondering, in the premodern era; ie, before 1850, and for ancient, medieval, and early modern eras; how precisely did military scouts go about performing their duties? I'm thinking; what percentage of an army would be allocated to reconnaissance duties, how they would be deployed, what...

    What is/Where is Siebentod?

    Just listened to this song on youtube, lyrics of which are below (according to this site): Based on the verse convention, I assumed that Siebentod was the German name of a place in Italy; however, I've not been able to find such a place anywhere in Italy, and am beginning to suspect it might...

    What comprises Infantry-Tank Tactics?

    Some time ago, I recall reading something along the lines of how during the early stages of the 1937 Battle of Shanghai, Chiang had much of the Nationalist's reserves of tanks committed to the battle, but the effort was largely wasted, because "the tank crews had been insufficiently trained in...

    AHC: Latin-speaking Modern Country

    Is it possible, for the lingua franca and official language of a modern country and her people that's not the Vatican to be Latin? Any POD is good, it just has to last until the modern day.

    Books on the Czechoslovak Legion

    Just read the Wikipedia page on the Czechoslovak Legion, and I was quite intrigued and fascinated, to say the least. So, I was hoping members of AH.com could direct me to either some good historical fiction, or better yet, history books relating to the Czechoslovak Legion. General Russian...

    When did Jacobitism die for good?

    By the end of the 18th century, the last Jacobite heir had for all purposes abandoned his claim to the crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland. However, at what point before that would you say that Jacobitism was well and truly a 'dead' movement?

    AHC: China retains control over Vietnam to the Present Day

    Given how China managed to retain their rule over Vietnam several times in history often for many years, how would it be possible for China to continue to maintain their rule over Vietnam, even until the present day?

    AHC: Rome goes northeast

    Is it possible, with any POD (but obviously before the Conquest of Gaul), for Rome to go north or northeast, incorporating Central and potentially Eastern Europe into her empire as much as an integral part of it as Gaul, while Gaul takes the place of Germania, as a frontier territory where Roman...

    Formosa instead of the Philippines

    I recently read in the Japanese thread, courtesy of Calbear, that apparently, a campaign in Formosa during WWII was considered a serious alternative to the OTL Philippines Campaign. Formosa seems to have had a number of advantages over the Philippines, such as being close enough to provide air...

    Chiang Kai-Shek suddenly dies in 1943

    In early 1943, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly dies, for whatever reason. Following this, what are the effects on the Chinese war effort, the KMT, and the post-war era? Who succeeds Chiang? Is he better or worse? Does this help the corruption issue in the KMT, and can the KMT hold together?

    AHC: Nestorian China

    With any POD, make Nestorian Christianity (or any Christianity, really, I just think Nestorianism has the highest chance of happening) the dominant religion of China.

    Cut the Dzungarian Gate

    Suppose, that, in 1000 BC, the Dzungarian gate is cut by say, a mountain collapse or something. Clearing it out is unfeasible. What are the consequences on world history?

    Operation Olympic

    If the US Atomic bomb project had been delayed or prevented for whatever reason; even just if Einstein's letter is delayed by a couple years or his conscience, then it seems to me that with minimal butterflies, in 1945, Operation Olympic, the invasion of Kyushu, would have opened the American...

    All of the Rhineland part of a Dutch state

    By Rhineland, however, I don't mean just the German Rhineland, but also all the land east of the Meuse River in France. Basically, historical Lotharingia, from the Netherlands to the Swiss Border. And it has to be under a state that is recognizably the counterpart to the Netherlands of OTL...

    Japanese is written even more heavily with Kanji

    Is it possible, with any POD, for Japan to incorporate Chinese characters even more heavily into its writing systems? For example, is it possible to make it so that Japanese particles or words commonly written in kana to be written in Kanji?
