A-H while understandably concerned with the situation in the Bulkans was 100% ridiculous in its list of demands. And was give all but one of those. Now if they want to discuss other issues fine, but don’t pretend the issue is one thing when it is something else then and don’t demand that...

Your best bet is to get a few minor wars or other military engagements where an Armored car is useful. Say GB. In Africa, the US in Mexico or along the boarder or what have you. And as experience with armored cars builds up they evolve into a tank. But WW1 was really to soon after the...

Huh? You mean they thought that a treaty could be reached? well like everyone else (now or then) they are entitled to their own opinions. Bet let’s look at a few things. If A-H was willing to be reasonable they would not have started the war in the first place as they were offered MORE then...

It would work better if it was just a heavy lifter. You load everything needed to make a forward airbase, then you fly to an area land and build a forward airbase that won’t fall out of the sky and be destroyed with one missile. We are slowly approaching the point where Navy Aircraft Carriers...

I have always thought that IF the power’s involved had been reasonable/realistic then once the race to the sea made it obvious that no one was winning the war in any fast way, that they would have gone to the table to negotiate a way to end the war. But EVERYONE had hidden agendas that they...

I am not sure that it was POSSIBLE to stand up this operation in such a fast manor that the other side would have no clue. Pulling this off in WW2 would have been hard doing it with WW1 technology and equipment? Good luck. Add in trying to do this while fighting in France? Even harder.

yea this was the B team and the plan kept changing. But the reality is that while they could have done better then they did They were just not going to achieve the goals with the numbers that they had. If you give them the choice leaders then you will simply get farther inland before they get...

It is a matter of air presser (in over simplified term). you need to push down hard enough to push up however much weight your vehicle needs. In the case if the lift platform show in the still of video that is not as that weights next to nothing. The problem with this is when you build...

What i was trying to point out (badly) was that tanks in WW1 sucked because it was very easy yo build an anti tank weapon that could be easily built in mass numbers and supplied to troops and be moved around with relative ease and often have another use, In WW2 it took a serious weapon and or a...

In 1999 with no “set up” that a Time Lord could change gender and only three years after the flop that was the TV movie, it does mot have a hope mo matter how good the writing. At the end of the First run? It would not help as the scripts were poor. And a female Dr will get blamed for killing...

So we are supposed to have the US extend the war in the pacific indefinitely so they drop some pointless bombs on Germany when they were not needed? You know the people plan the war for the US were neither insane or stupid, right? And even the might US can not afford to stand off the coast of...

Amphibious landings in 1700s and early to mid 1800s are NOT the same thing as an amphibious landing in WW1. GB had been successfull with is calvery and it other troops before WW1 but they got hung up like everyone else in France. Past history was no NO help in WW1. Technology had cause a huge...

Yes artillery made maneuvers possible by busting the forts but it was the Magazine Rifle and the Machine Gun that forced trops to dig trenches and that ment the troops stopped maneuvering long enough for the artillery to blow them to pieces. The Artilery in WW1 was not as maneuverable as it...

TLDR:It would have imploded. And she would have gotten the blame (right or wrong) Now for the Long answer: the First run had ended in 1989. The American movie bombed in 1996. And the revised series started up in 2005. It succeeded because it was lfaithful (more or less) to the original...

I seam to be in the minority. I think that if you get a peace treaty in 1916 with the changes the OP said happened then I think it turns into something MUCH closer to a white peace. Germany and Austria will not being doing that much worse in this TL and the US will be weaker than it was when it...
