  1. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    Hmm, a young royal who ends up having supportive feelings for LTA aircraft... Interesting possibilities here :) Randy

  2. WI: Saddam Hussein killed on March 19, 2003

    The Neo-Cons wanted regime change and the only way to get that was boots on the ground so it wasn't really in the cards for any other response. Simply removing Saddam wasn't enough. Randy

  3. Long Live Sacred Germany: The Oster Conspiracy | Alternate Timeline

    In context they also expected the bombing attacks would use gas bombs as well as explosives, which in "Things to Come" was what was used in the first attack on "Everytown". (Cabal even shoot down an enemy plane that still has gas tanks/bombs on board) Randy

  4. What OTL events would be considered ASB if they hadn't actually occurred?

    Keep the context in mind here. From the perspective of someone in a timeline where Cuba as we know it never happened the "luck" someone in that timeline would write in a forum would likely be accused of being "ASB" because of the amount of "luck" it would/did take to arrive at OTL Cuba. Randy

  5. Solar Dreams: a history of solar energy (1878 - 2025)

    In general I'd expect Edison to be interested in the direct generation of solar energy (solar voltaics) rather than heating or mechanical energy, but it really depends on how much the idea and technology take off in America. He'll probably find a way to attach his name to the idea of solar...

  6. Midway is a JAPANESE trap

    Arg, something looked "off" to me but I couldn't figure out what... Hey I was only 'off' by 10 :) Randy

  7. Midway is a JAPANESE trap

    B-36 I think, not a B-17? Randy

  8. OPERATION VENGEANCE: - Yamamoto Survives!

    Given Yamamoto's (and the IJN's) fixation on the "Decisive Battle" I think a surviving Yamamoto would probably continue to seek that and risk more to gain it at some point in the near future. Which frankly would lead to a serious loss of the majority of the remaining IJN assets which might lead...

  9. What OTL events would be considered ASB if they hadn't actually occurred?

    Absolutely, heck if caught just about everyone, (even the experts) off guard. To that point I'd lived my whole life under the effects of the Cold War. To the point: Saw this happening live on the news and still couldn't wrap my mind around it happening. My wife's mother who was in fact German...

  10. Solar Dreams: a history of solar energy (1878 - 2025)

    Good stuff though, worth the wait. Well no real problems as long as you remember that it was Edison who invented it all and also has the patents :) Randy

  11. WI: Saddam Hussein killed on March 19, 2003

    Wasn't meant to "contradict" your point only to provide a background on why things went the way they did. Saddam was going to be a 'casualty' one way or another because the entire idea was his removal and regime change in Iraq. In context the only people that were "worried" where Iraq, Iran and...

  12. WI: Saddam Hussein killed on March 19, 2003

    To be clear here the difference between 1991 and 2003 was the growth of the NeoCon politics in the US. Saddam and Iraq became a "talking point" once Clinton was elected and built up as an "ongoing" threat with the idea of WMD's being pushed by the NeoCon politicians and talking heads. Removing...

  13. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    "The enemy will know it would be crazy to do the exact same thing that failed last time. Which is why will do the exact same thing again THIS time because they will never expect that!" Black Adder IIRC :) Randy

  14. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    I got that one :) (As an aside, seen the trailer for the "finale" episode?) Randy

  15. The Giant’s Vigor: An early exit from the Great Depression

    Well of course, they ate them... :) Randy

  16. Would a Hybrid Heli-Carrier style Airship be practical?

    Sky Pirates of Venus! (If I ever get around to running that campaign :) ) Randy

  17. the best movies never made

    If it's not the ceremony from Danny Kay's "The Court Jester" it doesn't count :) Randy

  18. What if, somehow, Iraq managed to win the Iraq War?

    As noted it was more than just numbers and specifically in both cases had to do with lack of proper planning, etc. And unlike Vietnam the US military initially had a single goal of winning a straight up fight with the nominal "military" in Iraq and Afghanistan but failed to follow through. Again...

  19. DIXIE GOES DOWN!

    The Life and Times of Robert Smalls :) Randy

  20. Alternate/What If Osprey Titles
