Das Volk Vor Dem Reich: This mod is a Hoi4 alternate history mod about What if WW1 never took place. Before the start date of the mod (1936) the Germans, Russians, and Serbians decided that they would split up Austria-Hungary for themselves after they win the war against them. And so the war happened and they beat the Austrian-Hungarians. The Germans took Austria and Sudetenland. Serbia took all of the Yugoslavia (What i mean by that is that they took what Yugoslavia would have if they existed.)

Spirit of Defeat features the grim future of 1936 as imagined by someone alive in 1920, directly after the Allies win WW1. Germany is ruled by a military dictatorship after the Weimar Government was ousted from power in a coup, the British Empire is in a state of decay after its WW1 debts, and the Soviets are in the midst of a power struggle, with Beria, Molotov and Trotsky all looking to become the next leader of the USSR.

What if Russia Won WW1? ------------------------------ In Pax Russica France and Italy lose WW1 and undergo revolutions ~1917 while Russia with support from Britain goes on to defeat Germany (In OTL it was the opposite, with France and Italy defeating Germany after a Russian loss). ------------------------------ The name 'Pax Russica', describes the peace after the Great European War in which Russia is the sole dominant Superpower
2024.04.29 07:44 CascalaVasca How effective would Warwolf have been against Constantinople? Why did no army besieging the city ever attempt to build a replica of Warwolf or even larger? Even assuming a single is not enough, could a bunch of Warwolf replica enable successful capture of the city?
It never ceases to amaze me that the most powerful trebuchet ever built was in off all places in Scotland a relative small player compared in Europe and that none of the other European superpowers in the continent esp in France and Germany ever attempted to construct soemthing ina similar scale to capture the most powerful fortress......
But having read about how the earliest giant canons (which were small compared to what the Ottomans would later use) from after the decline of the Mongol empire but before gunpowder reached Europe in the Chinese dynasty that followed the expulsion of Temujin's heir in China shot shells at 300 pounds of force which was roughly the same force War Wolf propelled stones at.........
How come nobody before Mehmed ever tried to recreate a replica of Warwolf in sieges at Constantinople or at least some pre-gunpowder mechanical siege equipment with similar size and firepower? Could Warwolf threaten Constantinople at least enough to be a gamechanger even if it couldn't damage the walls effectively enough to create a breach? If one Warwolf wasn't enough could a bunch of them say 20 have been able to allow capture of the city?
You'd think something like Warwolf would have been used first in the big leagues such as the Byzantium and France or the Holy Roman Empire in the DACH. But instead it was only built in an unimportant campaign in the backwaters of Europe! And never been replicated by major powers like the late Abassids and the Seljuks to besiege Constantinople. Why did no one attempt to built a ballista or onager or other siege weapon of similar scale before gunpowder whenever they tried to besiege the prized mighty city?

But having read about how the earliest giant canons (which were small compared to what the Ottomans would later use) from after the decline of the Mongol empire but before gunpowder reached Europe in the Chinese dynasty that followed the expulsion of Temujin's heir in China shot shells at 300 pounds of force which was roughly the same force War Wolf propelled stones at.........
How come nobody before Mehmed ever tried to recreate a replica of Warwolf in sieges at Constantinople or at least some pre-gunpowder mechanical siege equipment with similar size and firepower? Could Warwolf threaten Constantinople at least enough to be a gamechanger even if it couldn't damage the walls effectively enough to create a breach? If one Warwolf wasn't enough could a bunch of them say 20 have been able to allow capture of the city?
You'd think something like Warwolf would have been used first in the big leagues such as the Byzantium and France or the Holy Roman Empire in the DACH. But instead it was only built in an unimportant campaign in the backwaters of Europe! And never been replicated by major powers like the late Abassids and the Seljuks to besiege Constantinople.

2024.04.29 07:03 CascalaVasca How effective would Warwolf have been against Constantinople? Why did no army besieging the city ever attempt to build a replica of Warwolf or even larger? Even assuming a single is not enough, could a bunch of Warwolf replica enable successful capture of the city?
It never ceases to amaze me that the most powerful trebuchet ever built was in off all places in Scotland a relative small player compared in Europe and that none of the other European superpowers in the continent esp in France and Germany ever attempted to construct soemthing ina similar scale to capture the most powerful fortress......

2024.04.29 04:33 what_is_existence1 My bayonets from my collection!
 | Going from right to left on each picture. A Czech VZ258 bayonet and scabbard, Australian pattern 1942 1907 bayonet with a 1941 made grip. Plus it’s a rare maker too😁. A British #9 mk 1 bayonet with no scabbard, a German ww1 butcher bayonet made for Prussia, the maker is Weyersbers and co solingen. It was manufactured in 1917. Next is my other butchers bayonet accept this one was used by Germany. It was made in 1916, used by the mounted troops (cavalry) before they were disbanded and kept by the soldier for use in the war (I can tell by the frog). It was made by Carl eikhorn solingen. My Canadian ww1 Ross rifle bayonet that was turned into a fighting knife by the factory. Idk much else about it. And my ww2(?) pig sticker bayonet. I also don’t know much about it. submitted by what_is_existence1 to Bayonets [link] [comments] |
2024.04.29 02:13 Admirable-Speaker457 Car battery drainage issues
Have a 1.4 tsi petrol 2012 skoda superb. Drives like a dream but the last few days the ignition was a bit rough (taking longer than usual, makeing diesel engine chugs on startup).
Anyway, went to start it up yesterday and the engine wouldnt turn over (dash lights spazzing out as per electrical faults etc.). It had the stock battery, which I charged for 12 hours until the Ammeter on the charger dropped to 0.5A (its an old analog charger with no LEDs or dials as it was made pre fall of berlin wall I'm guessing since it say made in West Germany).
My multimeter read 12.6V between the terminals on the battery. Upon reinstallation of the original battery after charging, the car worked fine. Started ok, quick as hell compared to the previous state before failure. But then the battery lost all charge overnight as it wouldnt start the next day. The weather conditions have been fine and the car started ok through the harsh winter
Apart from a crapped out battery that has used up its electrolytes, what possible failures could cause this issue? Considering the car started after a full recharge, im assuming its not an alternator issue as it didnt die after starting. I unplugged my dash cam and bluetooth dongle and the lights were not left on.
Very puzzling to me. I'm guessing it was rapid degradation of the battery, so i installed a new one. I will update tomorrow as to whether the new battery loses charge overnight, but would like to hear any potentail causes based on anecdotal evidence in order to mitigate further failures.
TIA

2024.04.29 01:53 Marshall-Of-Horny Fallout's United States of America vs Wolfenstein's Nazi Germany
Through an accident involving Doctor Klein and several transportalponders, the USA, its Annexed Territories and all of its other resources have been transported to Wolfenstein's Nazi Controlled Earth. While the USA may be a communist killing machine, it doesn’t forget WW2 so easily, and decides to rid the world of the Fascist menace. Along with this, resistance to Wolfenstein's Germany is something it can take advantage of.
Wolfenstien’s Germany is at the height of its power for all rounds. So…who would win?
Round 1 - Fallout’s United States at its height of power, will have all assets under its control taken with it. No Nuclear Weapons may be used. Round 2 - Fallout’s United States at its height of power, will have all assets under its control taken with it. No Nuclear Weapons besides tactical weapons may be used. Round 3 - Fallout’s United States at its height of power, will have all assets under its control taken with it. Nuclear Weapons may be used.
Bonus - Fallout’s United States at its height of power, will have all assets under its control taken with it. No Nuclear Weapons may be used.
However all the Post-War factions of America (At the time of 23rd October 2287) will also appear, siding with Pre-War America. While IRL 1942's Nazi Germany will also appear, siding with Wolfensteins Nazi Germany.
