  1. The man in the high castle

    What the devil? We're did you pull 'our world' and 'parallel history' from? From what I read - the book - it was simply an AH in which the Axis won WW2 and the characters were struggling to survive. The 'Abensden-Universe' was simply the invention of a character within the book, not a parallel...

  2. Ekranoplans make it big

    Ekranoplanes need flat calm to operate. Because of this, ekranoplanes are essentially limited in the same ways hovercraft are - but they can't go on land.

  3. Jewish Nation Outside of Israel

    Historically, areas around Kakadu and Tasmania in Australia were considered for the site of Jewish refugees. As far as I know, the setting up of the Kakadu site was delayed by WW2 and made redundant by the setting up of Israel in 1948.

  4. The ASBs flap around in OTL...

    I thought there was an Aztec prophecy about 'a white man coming from heaven' or something like that. Which is why the preisthood and Montezuma accepted him into the city.

  5. French military advisors in Poland

    It shouldn't have any effect. By observing German doctrine the French should have realised that massed tanks should be used as an offensive weapon, not a defensive one. Which means these tanks will be sitting much closer to the Belgian border, ready for a mass counter-offensive as soon as the...

  6. What happened here? A look at WWII.

    Which means the POD is pre 1901 or perhaps even pre 1905.

  7. 1894 UberCzar Takes Throne

    IIRC Imperial Russia mounted two expeditions early on in the great game to secure bases from which India could be threatned. Both ended in complete annihilation of the Russian forces at the hands of natives. After this the tsar resorted to diplomacy to try and get hold of these bases from which...

  8. Recommendations Wanted

    The man in the high castle, SS:GB and The Eyre Affair are my favourite AH novels. The Man in the High Castle and SS:GB are more traditional style AH books; the Eyre affair uses AH as a backdrop for the story, a literary detective who 'jumps' into Jane Eyre to kill a madman.

  9. French military advisors in Poland

    Ultimately it shouldn't make much difference. These divisions will only survive as long as the French let them. The only option that would make sense would be to hold these divisions in reserve for some kind of counter-offensive; and by the stage were such a counter offensive would be needed...

  10. Kosovo WI scenarios

    Why would NATO forces encounter problems? Up until the very end British forces were ready to jump off into Kosovo and assumed they would face some resistance. One would imagine the ATO would allocate a lot of sorties to the invading force. The Serbs had no air cover and no hope. If NATO had...

  11. Most Brutal Dictator/Communist Leader

    Saddam's on the list. As for the Stalin thing, didn't they deliberately close Ukranian borders to prevent aid from getting in?

  12. Most Brutal Dictator/Communist Leader

    Two men who aren't on the list and probably should be: Idi Amin and Pol Pot. It would be Saddam. He combines the ruthlessness and human detatchment of Stalin with the craziness of Pol Pot. So, despite the fact that his regime killed fewer people than Uncle Joe's, he would be it.

  13. The Great War of 1937-1951-A Very Different WW2

    The Soviet Union was the first nation to create a paratroop corp. The Nazis stole the idea.
