  1. COMMAND & CONQUER QUESTIONS

    My first question would have to be 'Do the COMMAND & CONQUER games qualify as Alternate History for the purposes of this forum?' (I'm specifically thinking of the 'Tiberium' and 'Red Alert' timelines, which are definitely 'history but not as we knew it'). My second concerns an attempt on my...

  2. A QUESTION OF RANK (Timeline-191)

    Here's a question that only occurred to me today - is it ever specified what specific type of sergeant Jake Featherston was during his service with the CS Artillery? To the best of my understanding he holds a position roughly equivalent to that of a Staff Sergeant in the modern US Army...

  3. ALTERNATE CORONATIONS

    If Westminster Abbey were out of commission for a prolonged period (possibly due to a Notre Dame-esque fire) where might a British monarch arrange to be crowned?

  4. THE BIG SWITCH (Southern Victory)

    While discussing the fate of Great Britain (Timeline-191) following the Second Great War, a number of contributors became interested by the suggestion that there could - and perhaps should - have been a serious reshuffling of the members associated with the Central Powers & the Entente during...

  5. ALTERNATE NOTIONS (Miscellaneous Thread for ‘Books and Media’

    Dear fellows, while browsing the ‘Miscellaneous’ threads on the pre- and post-1900 sections, it struck me that our own corner of the forums might benefit from a similar place to post ideas & questions concerning published alternate histories that don’t quite have the depth to support a thread...

  6. IVORY EXTRAORDINAIRE

    Having seen no other thread dedicated to this work of Alternate History (the brain-child of Mr Gregory W. Detwiler), it seemed reasonable to start one up in order to offer my review of same. Once, long ago, I stumbled onto the preview chapter of a novel - actually a series of short stories...

  7. THE INCORPORATION OF CANADA

    There have been any number of 'Canada Vs The Southern Colossus' scenarios in this forum and its pre-1900 neighbour, but I'm not sure if there has ever been a thread discussing the practical details of what might follow were the Great White North to willing ask for incorporation into the United...

  8. The First Habsburg King of England

    I'm confident more than one thread has asked (and probably answered) the Question "What if Mary I Tudor actually had a son by Philip of Spain" but I wondered if there had ever been a thread that contemplated what might have happened had she produced a male heir then died before the youth reached...

  9. LENDING WINGS TO PLANET GRYPHON

    I am a fan in whom the habit of browsing through diverse novels (Science Fiction & Fantasy in particular) for concepts, characters and any other elements of interest sufficiently intriguing to persuade me they deserve to be picked out and expanded upon is Very Strong - I am therefore very...

  10. Canada's Only State

    I was reading Cire's thread depicting a possible outcome for USA-occupied Canada in the Southern Victory setting when the thought occurred to me that it might be amusing were Alaska to shift its allegiance from the United States to Canada for some reason, only to insist on still being called a...

  11. The Apotheosis of President Lee

    Now while those of you old-timers currently groaning at the prospect of yet ANOTHER Confederate Victory timeline are quite right to resent such lack of imagination, may I please ask any interested parties if they would be kind enough to hear me out and offer suggestions to help firm up my mental...

  12. Planet Home (Worldwar)

    I recently learned about the Fantasy Calendar Generator (which may be found at the other end of the Link below) and for some reason, possibly connected to a recent sense of curiosity where creatures from other Planets are concerned (triggered by reading into the beasts known only from Earth's...

  13. The Evolution of the Confederate Cabinet

    Some of you may know me from FILLING THE GAPS (though doubtless you are better acquainted with the work of my most splendid colleagues), a thread dedicated to fleshing out Mr Turtledove's Timeline-191 to our own satisfaction, but while the question that brings me here today in order to harness...

  14. Illustrating Timeline-191

    I have been considering commissioning an Artist to draw up some plates depicting Military Uniforms from the World of Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory novels, but have been asked to produce a reasonably detailed set of requests so that the Commission can be priced more accurately - I have, in...

  15. Uniform Inquiry

    May I please ask if this would be the correct forum in which to make enquiries concerning the details of possible designs for Uniforms for a number of Alternate Histories? I have some ideas, but must acknowledge my relative ignorance; having acknowledged that ignorance I would like to see what...

  16. A Query Concerning Uniforms

    Might one please ask which of the Forums would be the most proper and correct place to post hypothetical enquiries concerning Uniforms that never were? (for example "Assuming that the Luftwaffe were squared away and not a problem, what uniform & insignia might pilots in service with the SS or...

  17. THE ATLANTIC WAR

    I was recently considering THE DISUNITED STATES OF AMERICA by Mr Harry Turtledove (don't worry, this is a general question rather than specific to that particular Timeline) and stumbled over the name "Atlantic War" therein. Now this is simply an example of world-building by name-dropping...

  18. British Civil War in 1914

    Having learned something of the complexities and the controversies of the Irish Home Rule Bill (the instrument by which a Liberal government of the Early 20th Century intended to relieve tensions between the British and their Irish fellow-Subjects, not a few of whom would far rather have been...

  19. FLAG DESIGNS FROM THE DC MULTIVERSE

    I have to say that one of my very favourite things about DC happens to be the various Fictional Cities scattered about the surface of Earth-1 (not to mention the Multiverse that allows one to say that everything exists SOMEWHERE without contradicting anything else) and since not all of these...

  20. Timeline-191: THE US REVOLUTION

    I SWEAR that I have interests outside the Southern Victory series, even within the field of Alternative History, it's just that I haven't worked out anything particularly interesting to say about them as yet (more to the point FILLING THE GAPS is an excellent source of inspiration and something...
