  1. Good Soviet Cold War victory TLs?

    Does Fear, Loathing, and Gumbo/Rumsfeldia count? The Soviets look they are either have or are going to win the Cold War in that world.

  2. How would a NATO invasion of Warsaw Pact go?

    Not very. Modern wars come down to planning and training and basically zero NATO war plans or training exercises were offensive.

  3. Pearl Harbor never becomes a major Naval base?

    If the vulnerability of Pearl Harbor to carrier attack was identified, it would make more sense to increase defenses than abandon it as a major naval base.

  4. AHC: Make Escort Carriers Prevalent Among Developing Nations During The Cold War.

    And land based aircraft wouldn’t work, why?

  5. Pearl Harbor never becomes a major Naval base?

    This is wildly incorrect. The Navy had been steadily expanding Pearl Harbor since 1910. It’s too valuable a natural harbor and to well positioned for force projection to not be a major naval base.

  6. Would Japan surrender conditionally without an invasion or atomic bombs?

    Yes, but the allies wouldn’t accept the Japanese would demand.

  7. Soviet Cold War figures likeliest to have a future without Stalin

    I’m not sure when it comes to political careers, but Tukhachevsky surviving could have some serious butterflies regarding the Soviet military leading into WW2.

  8. Short Stirling used as Maritime Patrol Aircraft for Battle of Atlantic?

    This move is one of the first made by Not!Bomber Harris in They Shall Reap the Whirlwind. Generally historians agree this would have been the right move given the Stirlings were kinda garbage at actually bombing Germany. They wouldn’t have even needed to sink that many actual u-boats. Just...

  9. What if Germany Won the Battle of Stalingrad?

    So overextend their supply lines even more than they actually were while leaving a massive flank open to be counterattacked and cut off?

  10. Edifice: A History of the National Redoubt

    My only criticism is of the Soviets nuking Guangzhou. Wouldn’t its proximity to Hong Kong, then still a British territory, be considered provocative to the US and NATO? Fallout from nuking Guangzhou has a good chance of killing people in British territory.

  11. Military tactics ( that were never developed or employed )

    IIRC two of Israel’s infantry brigades are urban warfare specialists.

  12. Ross Perot President in 1992,1996 James Stockdale President in 2000,2004

    One of the best timelines on this site is based on this scenario: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/a-giant-sucking-sound-a-president-perot-tl.208277/

  13. Germany starts WW3 scenario

    Would the scenario Bruder Gegen Bruder from Wargame: European Escalation or the scenario from Regiments count as “Germany starting WW3”? In both cases, it’s a local conflict between East and WestGermany that rapidly spirals.

  14. Challenge: Fix the LCS Program

    The real solution for the debacle with the Zumwalt class and the AGS would be to simply have the government produce the shells at a government owned arsenal at cost.

  15. European NATO Army alternatives: 1950 - 1990

    From what I understand, the FAL beat the M14 in basically every category of testing, but Springfield was able to claim that the M14 would be incredibly cheap to produce because it was highly parts compatible with the M1 Garand and could reuse most of the tooling. But that was a lie. It had...
