With a POD of 1940 how is it possible to have the vast majority of American men using Anabolic Steroids? And what are the effects on History?

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to make it possible for Erwin Rommel to serve as an Officer in the US Military. Bonus points if he serves during WWII.

From an interview with Time Magazine, June 1963: "You have to understand that I had a very difficult decision to make." Here Wayne pauses and smiles, making him look years younger. "I think in a way it's a weighty decision for anyone to make." "I was a little old for that sort of...

So, IOTL Tolkien lived to be 73 but what if he lived to be. . . I dunno, ninety-something? Over a hundred? What happens?

So I kinda went off half-cocked in the first version and it needed a lot work so. . . Again, comments and critique are welcome. May 1946. Hundreds of thousands of men in US lend-lease uniforms waited patiently inside the Ami sea-lift ships the Americans had been kind enough to lend to...

POD: 500 AD. 527 AD The room was comfortable and well lit but functional, a tasteful but modest desk sat in one corner while the rest of the shelves were lined with books, many thought the man sitting at the desk couldn't read or write and he was content to let them go on thinking that...

Okay, so I'm doing an Eastern Roman TL where Belisarius wins at Callincinium (A draw OTL) and it's a great Roman victory. Justinian orders to Belisarius to follow up on this and take as much Persian territory as possible. Reinforcements are on the way in the form of Roman troops...

The first attempt at this (after some inevitable and much needed corrections, thanks for all the advice everyone) went over pretty well but I wasn't satisfied with it and felt it was too dry to be much fun. Warning: This will be full of gory, brutal, graphic and appalling war violence along...

IOTL both North and South used Minie Balls and Rifled weapons but what if the progression of firearms is delayed long enough that the ACW is fought using Smoothbore Muskets?

POD: 1980 Your challenge is to have the US Industry and Production back up to WWII levels or capable of it.

So what if Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Matt manage to stay together and the Band doesn't release TSI?

So I read that somewhere that France and Britian contemplated bombing Russia. Obviously if this happened that could very well mean that when the US entered the war on France and Britain's side it could mean Russia declaring war on the US and the US along with Japan, Italy and Germany. So...

Your challenge, should you should to accept it, is to create a non-ASB situation where US Battleships clash with IJN Battleships during the Pacific War. EDIT: And I mean a large scale clash between most if not all of the IJN BB's and most if not of the US BB's

Inspired by OKH_1946's thread about Wehrmacht equipment ending up in the hands of South-East Asian Militaries after WWII. The idea of German Wehrmacht Personnel in the FFL and in Indochina is a matter of considerable debate. I plan to do this in a Dry-Timeline/Story style. Comments and...

What it says on the Tin. How would you plausibly have a viable Tank invited before or just in time for WWI and used in large numbers? Bonus if you can get some of the more pressing bugs ironed out before the war starts.

In OTL BB's did pretty good for bombardment and the American ones bristled with AA of 20mm, 40mm and 5-Inch Calibers and performed admirably in an Anti-Aircraft Role. And the later ones were very fast an Iowa's top speed was a good 2-3 knots faster than a modern Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer for...

531 AD. Battle of Callicinium. Belisarius anchors his Infantry's right flank on the river and positions an additional 1,000 Cataphracts on the left behind his Arabs. The battle is a stalemate for the most of the day until the Persian Commander sends his Cavalry to charge the Roman left...

So I would like to do a TL where The British Colonize Africa on the same level that they did the East of America and the African Colonies join together and rebel around the same or shortly after the Americans do. What are you thoughts and comments on this?

So American history is like it is in OTL except that there's Elephants. How's history affected?

(I'm getting pretty good at these) So, how would you go about having Choppers used on a large scale by the Militaries of WWII? And how would history be affected?
