  1. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    I once converted my Italy game before hitting 1000, and it worked prefectly, so you should be fine.
  2. AHC: Asian colonies on West Coast

    Most of China's silver was being imported from Japan and the Indian Ocean trade network. A new warring states period would led to the states going after those parties before gambling on something being in North America, and gambling again that they find resources in the New World they need. The...
  3. Long Earth series

    First book was great. Second book was so-so in my opinion. Weird it would be thrown under fantasy instead of science fiction though.
  4. AHC:Sucessful US slave revolt

    Not much larger, because an act prohibiting the slave trade would simply come after his presidency if for some odd reason he vetoed the bill from congress. The fact the bill took effect as soon as constitutionally possible shows the strength of anti-slave trade elements in congress and in the...
  5. AHC:Sucessful US slave revolt

    Why would a slave revolt be successful after the civil war when the Confederate States has a sizeable number of whites who probably served during the Civil War, and therefore are going to be far better organized and equipped than had the war still be going on? It also ignores the fact that...
  6. AHC:Sucessful US slave revolt

    What. How would the Confederates "secure" a truce? The slave revolt clearly puts the United States in the stronger position and, if it really was successful enough to turn certain key battles OTL in favor of the Union, then it would be easier to get away with the Emancipation Proclamation. Why...
  7. AHC:Sucessful US slave revolt

    If the Haitian Revolution took place in the heart of France, it would have been crushed. In order for this slave revolt to work, it is going to have to go big or go home, because the federal government (even if Lincoln was in charge) would have gone big and crushed the revolt with federal troops...
  8. AHC:Sucessful US slave revolt

    Not a chance. If push came to shove, the federal government would indeed send troops in to defeat a slave revolt. Slaves outnumber whites in some areas, but whites outgun blacks and, on a regional and national level, outnumber blacks. There is no chance barring a breakdown of the federal...
  9. What if: a better Hitler?

    You need a reason why. Hitler had no inclination to become a priest in OTL. He would need a completely different upbringing, and at that point, it isn't Adolf Hitler. It is somebody who looks like Hitler.
  10. Glory and Dignity - A Congo Timeline

    Immediately interested. Bookmarking.
  11. Military History of the CSA

    Umm, what?
  12. WI: No Roe vs. Wade

    Then they decide on Doe v. Bolton and reach the same conclusion.
  13. Germany wins the battle of Kursk

    Where do these men and tanks come from and, more importantly, where are these men and tanks not? Unless the Germans simply built more tanks which raises the next question What plane, or how many planes, or how many guns, bullets, shells, and the like, weren't built because more tanks were...
  14. Could Germany have invaded Britain in 1942/1943 if...

    Are you a mind reader? If so, apply to be a moderator so you can use your ability to measure intention with a 100% accuracy to moderate instead of dumping in threads you don't like. You are completely right. The civil thing to do is to shit in the yard until the neighbors that just moved in...
  15. Could Germany have invaded Britain in 1942/1943 if...

    So let me get this straight. A new user posts a thread. The first response from long-standing members of this rather respectable board is to...insult the OP? At least Sharlin, between his comments of disdain for the topic (and Nazi fans, something the OP, or anybody in the thread, has claimed...
