  1. When the Wind Blew: a P&S Open Thread

    I'm looking to write a short story based off of Gen_Patton's Duck and Cover. Title: P&S: Copperhead Road Characters: The Moonshiner, The Klansman, others maybe Synopsis: As the white Supremacists move out of Stone Mountain, they run into some unexpected resistance. No one wins. Any...

  2. WI: U.S. Military Retains M-14 Rifle

    Either that or the Pederson .276. Having an actual intermediate cartridge would mitigate many of the issues with the M14, and it'd be more likely to continue on.

  3. Which defunct countries you would like to survive in an ATL

    I'd like to see a surviving Biafra, Courland, and a surviving ERE consisting of at least Greece and Anatolia. An independent Newfoundland would be cool too.

  4. United States Police Department

    Oh, not very many at all. There's only a few, such as town and county police, state troopers, State enforcement agencies (DEP, Park Rangers, etc.), the FBI, DHS, DEA, BATFE, and other alphabet soup organizations, along with anything else the feds decide are police. That's not much at all!:o

  5. United States Police Department

    Like the FBI, BATFE, DEA, and others? All of those have their own paramilitary/SWAT groups, and they can call on local or state police forces for assistance.

  6. Protect and Survive: A Timeline

    That's actually going to be a high estimate, because of the need to save grain for planting. I'm not sure of the ratio, but you're going to need to save a large amount of grain, so you can plant it and hopefully have it come up and survive to be harvested. Given the weather and all the...

  7. AHC: More Succesful Balkans for Allies

    This is a pretty simple AHC: Is there any way to make the Greek and Yugoslav invasions more successful for the Allies? Saving Crete isn't too difficult, considering that Student's plan barely came through when the 5th Mountain division was airlifted into the one airfield held by the Germans...

  8. An independent Kingdom of Rwenzururu?

    Mojojo? Is that you? :p While it's always possible for breakaway states to form, look at Katanga for an example of how it usually goes. Biafra shows it too a bit. There's a chance, but only a small one. :(

  9. Alternate State Names of the United States

    Don't you mean East Tennessee? Eastern Tennessee was the site of the original State of Franklin, and the Unionists proposed the State of Franklin as a counter-secession at the beginning of the ACW. Anyways, I propose the State of Franklin consisting of most of the Eastern Tennessee...

  10. Would a suprise 1939 "Sea Lion" Nazi invasion of Britian have worked

    I'd suggest mass tourism as the answer. Ship these thousands of German soldiers to England, claiming that they're going on a "walking tour" of London. By the time people realize that they're not just rude tourists, Germany will be in control of Parliament! It's foolproof I say! :D:p

  11. A Different Chernobyl

    For those worried about the hazards of storing spent nuclear fuel, I have just to words for you: Nuclear Reprocessing. The Genocide's link is here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessing With Nuclear reprocessing, you can use up the spent fuel, generate more enriched Uranium for use...

  12. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    I don't usually check up on this area of the board, but this TL is one of the best, IMO, of the entire site. Please keep going, as it looks amazing.

  13. TL help; result of MacArthur's death in the early 30s.

    Sorry for bumping this, but it took me a while to respond. :o Ward, it isn't ideal to have two different rounds for rifles in the field, and the fact that the other weapons of the US Army usually used the .30-06 round is a telling point against the M1 using the .276 round instead. However...

  14. TL help; result of MacArthur's death in the early 30s.

    If Mac dies early enough, you could see a major difference in the M1 Garand rifle. In late 1932-early 1932, there were many tests and trials for a new semi-auto rifle, and the M1 Garand, chambered in .276 instead of .30-06, was leading the competition. MacArthur really didn't like the .276...

  15. Up With the Star: A different kind of Civil War ATL:

    This is a great TL, please keep it up. :D Will we be seeing General von Lettow-Vorbeck in this alt WW1? You were talking a bit about the war in the colonies, and he was the best African theater general of the war. Here's the Genocide for him...

  16. Scottish/Scots-Irish out number the Irish in the USA

    From what I remember, the whole Scots-Irish distinction only came about in the US as a result of mass Catholic Irish immigration during the potato famine. Before the famine, the majority of Irish immigrants were Protestants, and integrated rather easily into the American society. When the...

  17. Question: British Arkhangelsk?

    This is entirely correct. The main goal in seizing Archangel was to aid the whites in the war with the Reds. It was a supply line issue, not a territorial one. Also, what desire does Britain have at any time for a permanent Archangel? It's a semi-important port in a region they have no...

  18. A different Finnish War

    Great to see this updated, it's really interesting and not another, "what if Hitler farted differently" TL. I'm not the best on Swedish/Russian history, but this is really interesting and I'm waiting for more. :D

  19. New England Secession plausibility question

    During the lead up to the war of 1812, and during the war itself, New England was at odds with the course taken by the presidency and the national government. This culminated with the Hartford convention in 1814, and the sending of delegates to Washington to discuss terms with the Federal...

  20. Sailing From Londinium

    First off, great TL, I've just caught up on it. About the African colonies, I'm not sure the African Romans would be too happy about massive Londinium fleets sailing right by their territory to set up outposts beyond them. Are there going to be colonial wars between the two? Also, what's...
