    What if the PLC, Danubian Principalities, and Crimean Khanate are teleported to the Pacific in 1600 AD?

    I would rather expect Gdansk to remain important and influential for a simple reason. It was the largest and richest city in the Republic, hence even with the disaster that Transfer will make, it will have an upfront advantage over the yet-to-be existing competition because it is already an...

    What if the PLC, Danubian Principalities, and Crimean Khanate are teleported to the Pacific in 1600 AD?

    1600 The scenario is interesting, even suitable as a basis for a story. I'm tempted to try to work something out with it. But to the point. Here the situation is simple, Sigismund III, taking advantage of the collapse of the Magnate power base, uses this to strengthen his power based on the...

    ISOT Back to the Past, aka Poland Saves the World from World War II.

    All in good time, first I want to outline the general situation a bit before I start pulling them out of the hat one by one.

    Only you are incapable of understanding that in order for one such missile to hit and damage a ship, you need to consume hundreds of them beforehand on one target, which will not be alone at all! That's first of all, secondly, Frigates will not stand still! They don't have to, because they are...

    In theory, yes, missiles are cheaper than a frigate. The problem lies, as always, with economics. The anti-aircraft defenses of modern ships will only be broken by a huge number of them. That's one thing, and yet we're talking about just one ship! Add to this that frigates are pack ships, they...

    And in return, you have the firepower of a dozen such batteries in one place and far greater mobility than land-based counterparts. More importantly, they are immediately on the water, so they give you much greater response time than tethered SAMs on land. Admittedly, but it's in my reckoning...

    Say you don't know what Mieczniks are and what the modern Navy is like without saying you don't know. I will say this, these three frigates will do much more than even 10k drones, missiles and any number of submarines. Our new Frigates are specialized in the air defense function. Of course, they...

    ISOT Back to the Past, aka Poland Saves the World from World War II.

    First of all, I would have to know the universe to write something there. Second, plot armor won't be a problem when I give a thicker one for Poland. After all, I will be the one writing!

    The allegation that WWI's outcome and map of Europe left Germany in a stronger position than the pre-WWI situation

    Not very, if OTL the Polish government wanted to do something with Lithuania, it would pursue more than.... establishing diplomatic relations. For over 20 Lithuania had no diplomatic relations with Poland. Yet even if they had decided to be revisionist, occupying Lithuania instead of gaining...

    The allegation that WWI's outcome and map of Europe left Germany in a stronger position than the pre-WWI situation

    Is it possible. Well, paradoxically yes but it requires several moves that are rather mostly independent of Germany itself. First and foremost, Hitler must show that he will not pose a threat to Poland. That Germany seriously wants to get along so that the wolf is full and the sheep whole...

    Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

    These are Russians, what do you expect? Honor, honesty? They haven't had that for a long time, and thanks to Lenin and his helpers there has been a deterioration in that regard.

    ASB troll swaps Poland and Australia for places.

    I was thinking of something like this, just to exchange km for km, in a good place. But the idea of Poland but as an island-continent appealed to me more. (Especially that instead of cutting into Australia, you could swap Poland with New Zealand because the latter is smaller than Poland)...

    ASB troll swaps Poland and Australia for places.

    I wonder how? They didn't do it when we were in Europe, they won't do it even more so when we are so far away from them. He will do it anyway, Australia now lies on the road to German Lebensraum in Russia. It's whether England likes them or not. It doesn't matter. Especially since the...

    ASB troll swaps Poland and Australia for places.

    A certain ASB, with a strongly trollish sense of humor, for a joke swaps Poland and Australia in places, August 18, 1939 . At the same time, in order not to be normal, he expands Poland to the size of Australia, preserving the logic of the building of the Polish state so that the distances...

    Russia(gate/bot) Russia-Ukraine War Politics Thread Mk. 2

    As always, every Polish-Russian war, and there were 19 in total, was quality vs. quantity. Given that we won most of them, it's easy to get an answer as to how it will end this time. Possibly, the opposition is already ranting about the "dire" state of the Polish state's finances, which is an...
