  1. WI: Henry II of England divorces Eleanor of Aquitaine on 1180's

    Provided that Geoffrey has still married Constance, Geoffrey will still claim Brittainy in right of his wife, and he will have Richard and Philip's support. And in return support them.

  2. WI - Australia/NZ Assigned Malaya Defense

    I note you claim that 12 Japanese divisions as being involved in the Malaya campaign, I can only conclude that you mean that 12 divisions were involved in Malaya because you go on to cite the odds of the forces arrayed against one another. it would seem unlikely...

  3. Napoleon the Corsican separatist

    Proves my point!:D

  4. Napoleon the Corsican separatist

    I'd imagine that he'd get into a fight with Paoli, and leave.

  5. WI - Australia/NZ Assigned Malaya Defense

    Yes you are right that the federation had not occurred, my Great great grandfather, was at the federation conference. However without being to concerned about whether Australian was yet united which would not have much of an impact, on the possibility of...

  6. WI - Australia/NZ Assigned Malaya Defense

    New Zealand has had few problems co-operating militarily with Australia, without feeling the need to get into bed with them.

  7. Could Malta have been taken in Spring 1941?

    The truth is North Africa was a side show, it was never going to attract the sort of resources that the Germans wanted to put into the Soviet Union. Rommel was wrong to try to turn what was planned as a defensive operation into a resource consuming offensive operation. It...

  8. Could Malta have been taken in Spring 1941?

    Rommel was faced with the problem that his logisticians kept telling him that what he wanted to do was impossible with the supplies that he had on hand. Rommel therefore had two options, he coud go back to Hitlers original plan and defend, or he could...

  9. Could Malta have been taken in Spring 1941?

    Benghazi was used, and it was in range of the DAF. Its capacity was 15000 tons. Greater use of Benghazi would have a limited impact. Sorry, that should be coastal shipping could only carry 15000 tons.

  10. Could Malta have been taken in Spring 1941?

    So Rommel just ends up with more supplies in Tripoli yes? And all he has to do to use them is to advance to Tripoli? Where he already has a surplus of surpples.

  11. Edmund Tudor, Duke of Somerset

    So you think that something is un-Catholic, whatever that is. The point remains that if even reformers firmly within the Catholic Church realise that the relic and pilgrimage practise has become a racket, it is not of itself evidence of Protestantism. It was...

  12. 4th Duke of Exeter

    Where is that written? Does that mean that if Henry had invaded and discovered that Richard had already married her off to some one else that Henry would have turned around and gone back to France? Also regardless of any claim about the Beaufort children. the Portuguese...

  13. 4th Duke of Exeter

    Actually Henry Tudor never claimed the throne in right of his wife, as a Lancastrian claimant, that would have undermined his claim.

  14. 4th Duke of Exeter

    I don't think any one knows where Henry Percy's loyalties lay. Accounts of the battle were written after Richard was dead, and its reasonable to think that Percy was probably trying to play down any signs of loyalty to Richard. The story of the battle has Northumberland, with his forces to...

  15. 4th Duke of Exeter

    The other relevant point here is the battle of Bosworth itself. Richard was reasonably successful at not disrupting his Brothers administration when he took over, which meant that he had the larger force at Bosworth and he had the assistance of the Howard's, and of...

  16. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis switch places.....

    Davis was at West Point. He was involved in the eggnog riots which largely destroyed the North Barracks. It must have been a fantastic party.

  17. 4th Duke of Exeter

    Being the heir in closest line to the throne, doesn't make a person the leading claimant. There were a number of possible Lancastrian candidates who had a right to cclaim the Throne. Even Richard, besides being a Yorkist, also had a Lancastrian claim. At the time of Bosworth, Richard was...

  18. Edmund Tudor, Duke of Somerset

    The thing you have to remeber about Henry VIII is that he was rather funny and fussy about the succession. And this caused problems for all his children, up until the ascension of James. Mary and Elizabeth were illegitimated and so couldn't inherit, but could...

  19. Motorized Attaque à Outrance?

    I hope that they would have remembered to put the horses hauling the supply wagons on bicycles too.

  20. Edmund Tudor, Duke of Somerset

    Nice try, but no. Monasticism Pilgrimages and the Veneration of Relics, may have been part of the Catholic Church, but to contradict your previous post, the absence of them doesn't show Protestant leanings, in a Catholic. Otherwise it would severely limit the number of...
