  1. A (late) Central Powers Victory: Some Musings

    So unless you believe the Nazis were a ASB and that what happened to germany couldn't possibly happen to France or Russia/soviets (because the latter definitely didn't have its own uncaring madman in charge...) then its must be possible they could start another war. Just going "nah wouldn't...
  2. A (late) Central Powers Victory: Some Musings

    Ok but they still did. So just saying "nah france/russia wont start another war after losing WW1" falls a bit flat
  3. A (late) Central Powers Victory: Some Musings

    You mean like Germany in OTL? Never underestimate the human desire for conflict

  5. An AH Battle: 1st Battle of Midway, 17 - 21 June 1942

    The sheer mind rending fury of Admiral King would probably cause a singularity if the Royal Navy was present at this Midway and they said "nah we'll wait till night time" if the USN was getting slaughtered like this. Especially as theres no guarantee a night strike would find the targets or be...
  6. What if the British Royal Navy was allowed to keep the two power standard and build 3 more battlecruisers and 2 more battleships?

    I would say letting Britain bare the cost of policing the trade lanes and keeping them safe and secure but they got that anyway My mini head canon/PoD for this would be a trafalgar like stomp of the HSF at Jutland with little to no casualties for the GF which is so loop-sided that the USN and...
  7. CP Victory:Labour wins 1918 election

    most bank clients can't fight back when the repo men come knocking. Now if those bank clients happened to be a planet spanning empire with a massive fleet at its command... well bank disputes would become far more interesting
  8. An AH Battle: 1st Battle of Midway, 17 - 21 June 1942

    Thats... quite something It certainly wont be winning any beauty contests
  9. What if the British Royal Navy was allowed to keep the two power standard and build 3 more battlecruisers and 2 more battleships?

    Perhaps but in this TL there wouldn't be a race - if the US and Japan accept RN supremacy and stick to their limits then the RN can build up gradually to its new limit which would help keep its ship building industry alive (providing the battleship building holiday didn't take place which I...
  10. What if the British Royal Navy was allowed to keep the two power standard and build 3 more battlecruisers and 2 more battleships?

    Thats a... interesting claim seeing as the empire reached its territorial height after WW1 when the WNT was signed
  11. What if there was no major fleet action between the Grand Fleet and High Seas Fleet in WW1?

    Well depends on how the major fleet battle is avoided, if its both fleets sailing past each other then maybe but if its the case that the HSF never comes out to fight then its easy to say the GF was so mighty and powerful that Germany would rather hide in port than face them. Can't blame a...

    ...have you seen HM Treasury?
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    From "To whom it may concern." To "Dear Mr... I am writing to you today regarding,"
  14. TL: UK Overseas Regions [Redux]

    If the story is about Britain being made more "european" then it's a topic that has to be addressed, especially if the politicians are going down the back door approach. I'd be like talking about US economic changes after WW1 while avoiding talking about the great depression
  15. TL: UK Overseas Regions [Redux]

    Right, ask for forgiveness not permission to join a trade block, but if that block just so happens to turn into a political union thats just how it is, no need to ask again (even if we said we would 😉)
  16. TL: UK Overseas Regions [Redux]

    As I said that worked great in OTL 😁 Don't need any of those pesky commoners - Er I mean valued electorate getting in the way! They will be absorbed into europe and by jove they will like it!
  17. Malaya What If

    Hey now thats uncalled for. As if any bomber worth their salt would leave a job as half done as Croydon
  18. TL: UK Overseas Regions [Redux]

    Integration via the back door... worked well in OTL I wonder who will be Gordon Brown of this TL, signing the Lisbon treaty once the media have gone home🤣
