These were to be their vanity projects to showcase their power...

    Paulus tries to break out, 6th Army gets shredded. What then?

    TIK's last few videos on Stalingrad have given me an idea. What if Manstein actually did tell Paulus to break out, as he alleged in his memoirs, and Paulus did so? Obviously, there was no chance in hell of them actually succeeding, but a clear order is a clear order. The result would be the...

    Does/did the PRC have any interesting equivalents to the famous Soviet megaproject proposals? eg. Siberian river reversal. I know there's a project to transfer water from southern China to the arid north. But were there any wackier ideas out there? For example, were there any plans for...

    WI: Louis XIV conquers the Dutch Republic

    Mapboi made a map of this scenario over on DA, but he didn't really get into its consequences. So what are the wider consequences? What happens to the Dutch East Indies now that the Dutch are a broken power? etc.

    Earlier Latin American Wars of Independence?

    How early could the Spanish American colonies have declared independence? IOTL, they did so after royal authority broke down during the Napoleonic Wars. How early could they have done it? Could they have revolted in sympathy to the American rebels in the 1780s/90s? What would the effects have...

    WI: Cadorna, Hotzendorf both traitors

    WW1 is famous for being a grindfest with plenty of stupid commanders on all sides, but everyone knows that Luigi Cadorna and Conrad Hotzendorf were easily tied for the title of stupidest commander-in-chief of the war. On the whole, the entire Alpine Front of 1915-17 was one large contest of who...
