Hi All, Well, it's been about a year in the making. Well, not really, I have had this bouncing around the back of my mind, but I've decided to have a crack and creating a timeline. I know I'm probably not very good at it, so polite criticism/suggestions are looked forward to. This will...

WI the T-34 instead of the Sherman was made by the USA? Don't worry about the why's and wherefores. The main complaint people have about the T-34 was its production quality. How would a T-34 with US production have changed the war?

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it: POD: Any time you like, however there must be a WWI (however it can be different to our WWI) and the Weimar Republic must be formed (which I can't see the formation without Imperial decline... so definite German loss?), however it can start off...

Ok ladies & Gentlemen, your mission should you choose to accept it is to make Australia a super-power (I.e. at least number three in 1990). Masturbatory fantasies are encouraged. POD any time after 1770, and MUST start as a British colony. The country must remain as similar to the current...

Hi all, POD any time you like (don't make it ASB). Make Australia a technologically advanced (at least to the same technology as Europe in 1300 by 1500. I imagine there would have to be something like an Indian or Chinese colonisation (maybe both - or more). Is it possible? Thoughts?

Hi All, I'm truly not familiar enough with the politics of 1935+ but I am aware that the Sudetenland demands were a key part of WWII. I'm also not well enough educated about Chamberlain to really make a valued comment, but I do believe that Chamberlain was a better diplomat than many people...

Hi all, Firstly, I want to say that I'm not a communist or trying to make a Soviet Wank. This is purely entertainment only, so don't try bringing my loyalties into question... so... What if The Wehrmacht fails to take Moscow in December '41?

Hello All, Firstly let me say that I'm surprised that this hasn't been discussed more recently. I did a 'title search' and didn't find anything post 2012 (which are here and here) so am interested in new opinions. Feel free to rehash the old ones. Secondly, let me say I'm not asking this...

Hi All, I've always had at the back of my mind how inefficient I can be sometimes. I strive for 100% efficiency, however know I fall short of this all the time. For instance, I go shopping for some groceries, and a fair amount of the time I end up not getting everything, which means I may...

I've taken this thread from another thread and putting hit here to avoid derailing that thread. I have a bunch of TL changes and interested in what people see as the ramifications: The three what-if's were: 1 - What if Alexander II lives longer and actually introduces the Duma. If he lived...

Let's assume the day Jack Cash died in a sawmill accident absolutely nothing happened. Jack went to work, came home and that was all. Would J. R. still become Johnny Cash, or would the many butterflies make him into a nobody? If he became a nobody, he would not play at Billy Graham's...

Hi All, Another thread got me to thinking, what would be required to have airpower play a much lesser role (particularly naval airpower) in WWII (particularly in the pacific, as it wasn't huge in the Europe anyway). I think any deviation from OTL would require a reduction in the effectiveness...

So, let's say the AEC gets the final go-ahead for a August 1961 scheduled "Project Chariot". What are the ramifications of it? It is awfully close to the Soviet Union. I'm not sure that would be a particularly huge issue. I'm sure the soviets would MAKE something of it politically, but I...

Hi All, POD = January 24 at 02:34hrs local 1990(no real reason, so don't read anything into it, but it will affect different things). A medium yield (say 200kt) nuclear ground burst explosion centered on Andrews Airforce Base. No claims of responsibility. It's just a blast and then...

Making a new thread as I don't want to Shanghai the other Falklands War thread. From what I know (limited) of the Falklands War, the Soviets (and others, including Israel interestingly) supported the Argentinians, and the USA (and others) supported the Brits. I remember the Falklands war...

Hi All, Does anyone have a suggested read for population trends? I've done some basic calculations for a population increase of a colony of 1000 souls, assuming that this is 500 couples, and that each have 5 children that survive to adulthood (this assumption based on an average, as some...

I know various versions of this will have been discussed before. Alternate WWII's are probably the single most popular alternate histories available. It's quite simple, if you don't want to discuss it or it's been done before to death just move on and don't make a comment. Hi All, I'm...

I can almost guarantee this has been discussed before, but searching for it I find it difficult to find anything. Would there have been a possibility of an increase in the Norse colonisation of the 'New World' such that a hybrid population of Norse & North Americans hold sufficient power that...

Hello, I'm after some experts in France/French (the nation and Language). I know enough to get me into trouble, but not enough to get me out of trouble :). Any help appreciated, and (if ever published) credited. Can you go to remote places in modern France and have a reasonable chance of...
