  1. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Louis does indeed have a high opinion of himself. Tends to come with being a prince, a joint heir to a throne (Romania) and being an admiral. The US Naval Academy really needs to make sure their cadets keep up on current affairs, especially those concerning potential adversaries. For some...

    Or Galicia
  3. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    So, Anna likes girls and has been acting out because she is struggling to come to terms with that... and because she is in love with Mathilda, who doesn't have a clue that she does, in part due to Anna's own actions. Though it does seem as if Mathilda wasn't particularly impressed with the boys...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    I can see tanks equipped with mine rollers, mine ploughs, bangalore torpedoes, and other "Funnies" coming out of Hobart's Tea Partys

    Isn't this the car that kept attracting random, kamikaze pianos whenever it was on Top Gear?
  6. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Marie will have a small-sword in one hand and a karambit in the other.
  7. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Not to mention the "We'd also like this to go away REALLY fast, so is this enough money to make it do so" way?
  8. Short Stirling used as Maritime Patrol Aircraft for Battle of Atlantic?

    But there are all those pesky post-war colonial bush wars and confrontations where they'd come in handy...
  9. Short Stirling used as Maritime Patrol Aircraft for Battle of Atlantic?

    The nose of the Sterling does seem to be a good candidate for a combination of both the QF 6-pdr Class M Mark I with Auto Loader Mk III, aka Mollins Gun, and 20mm Hispano-Suizas facing forward. With the addition of RP-3 (Rocket Projectile 3 inch) to the mix as well, then any U-boat would have a...
  10. Short Stirling used as Maritime Patrol Aircraft for Battle of Atlantic?

    For your consideration: with a Sterling LRMPA having fixed, forward-firing guns instead of a nose turret (I recommend 4 x 20mm Hispano-Suizas), could we be faced the possibility of aerial duels between Short Sterlings and Focke-Wulf Fw200 Condors?
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    One reason for the OTL invasion of mainland Italy was to threaten an invasion of the Axis held Balkan nations. The proximity of Allied air power and major ports in southern Italy, combined with the activities of Tito's partisans and Churchill's well-known obsession with the Balkans being...
  12. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Yeah, he's doomed alright. Poor bugger might as well have given her a kitten and/or puppy. Edit: The main reason Tilo has "guided" Erich into the Navy's Special Forces, aside from hoping that he dies conveniently in a training accident, is because Tilo is very much aware of his family's...

    I wonder if Nixon could get his healthcare bill through ITTL?
  14. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    The older brother and former (?) crush has fallen into the clutches of the Forestry Service as a Ranger. Last seen "working" on a property owned by Kat but leased to the German Special Forces as their premier training ground.
  15. WI ancient greek city state took on logic in all it's decisions making and behaviour civil and leadership

    ASB, simply because logic is merely a thought process, not an infallible one. You can use logic and still end up with an erroneous outcome, because the data on which you are basing your decisions on may be flawed.
