  1. Scales of Desire- A Long Time in the Gulf

    REASON, v.t. To weight probabilities in the scales of desire. "If Israel attacks any Arab country ... we have the means to burn half of Israel."- Saddam Hussein, President and Prime Minister of Iraq "If Saddam Hussein chooses to use weapons of mass destruction, then the rules of this campaign...

  2. Mercantilism and Europe

    Not using mercantilism in the terms of an economic system here, but I don't know of a term for a society in which merchants are respected. IOTL, medieval Christianity in Europe had a decidedly anti-mercantile streak- there are the bans on usury, the idea of "fair" or "just" prices and a general...

  6. AH Chain mk. 1 1953 Soviet Leader

    You are the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Decide which leader shall best guide you through the troubled times following Stalin's death (1953). Unlike in OTL, the most pressing matters are abroad. The United States has experienced a turn right in foreign policy under Dewey, and two...

  7. Ergonomics in other TLs

    You know, in Tony Jones' TLs, there's always that disclaimer about automobiles' controls. Basically, that they are unrecognizable to people from OTL. Well, to what extent would that be true? Is there an ergonomic "evolution" which eventually demands something recognizable and similar to OTL?

  8. Great Lakes-Mississippi Canal?

    I remember reading somewhere about a plan to connect the Great Lakes to the Missouri-Mississippi watershed. Anyone know of actual proposals or the viability of such a project? And what are the effects of it?

    Sorry for the delay. My kicking and other projects got in the way. Here are the two relevant threads. The election Dewey's First Term Dewey/Nixon has won against Kefauver/Fulbright. Many may mark it as the end of the New Deal Coalition. Dewey ran on a program of civil rights against a split...

  12. Clinton does Iraq

    Based on the "Gore wins" scenarios where there is still an Iraq War..... WI there is an intervention in Iraq with the intent of removing Saddam from power and engaging in "nation building", as Bush once put it? Lets say, '97. How do the '98 midterm elections look? How does the Republican Party...

  13. Abstentionist Congress

    Is there any way to have the Irish practice of abstentionism from the British Parliament carried over into the Congressional system? What I mean by this is a large minority electing Congressmen or Senators, and having those representatives refuse to attend sessions in Washington D.C.?

  14. A Nazi Western

    Inspired by a thread in ASB. What would a Nazi Western look like in a Nazis-victorious/Cold War analogue world? They'd likely be Osterns, if in a different fashion than their Soviet counterparts. Where will they be set? Who are the savages? And what would American westerns look like for that...

  15. The Milk Drinker's Curse

    [Inspired by a thread in FH] For with the flow and ebb, its style Varies from continent to isle; Dry shood o'er sands, twice every day, The pilgrims to the shrine find way; Twice every day the waves efface Of staves and sandelled feet the trace. -Sir Walter Scott, OTL June 8, 793 The abbey of...

    Dewey/Nixon (Republican) vs. Kefauver/Fulbright (Democrat) Each vote for Dewey counts for 1.5 votes (incumbent advantage) Dewey is coming in strong after his first term.

    Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to have a semi-large, coherent political grouping (preferably organized in parties, but something like the Fabian society would work) analogous to modern Greens arise in the United States or Europe before 1900. You may think its impossible, but...

    You heard me. Put Constantinople under the control of the Kingdom of England or the United Kingdom. Anytime with a POD after 1453 but before 1914 (no LoN-esque mandate cop out).

  20. AH Challenge: Second Prohibition Era

    Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to have a recurrence of the 18th amendment (by law or amendment at the federal level) after December 5, 1933 (the passage of the 21st amendment) Essentially, have America return to the idea of Prohibition sometime after it was proven to be a dismal...
