  1. AHC/WI: Earlier Youtube

    The two big concerns I would have with an earlier youtube is if there would be enough fast internet and digital video camera availability to drive the use of any site.
  2. Harry Potter and the Small Screen

    If you are going with the BBC then the main CBBC drama programs were usually at 5:15(?) straight after newsround on week days but this wasn't the only time the BBC did adaptations. I believe that there was also some weekend evening children's/family programming, Just William in the mid 90s is...
  3. DBWI: A Return of Superman?

    The fact is that Superman was a character of a by gone era and was just no longer relevant. Not bringing him back was an act of mercy on the part of DC and showed that some lessons had been learnt from Watchmen.
  4. Alternate Football (Soccer) Matches

    May 11th 2003 Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool (Premier league) Final weekend of the league season and Liverpool manage to win at Stamford Bridge meaning they finish 4th above Chelsea who drop to 5th. Abromavich was reportedly looking to buy a team that had qualified for the CL and was in a capital...
  5. Communist Britain

    You probably need some serious disasters to cause such a drastic change in the political landscape in Britain.
  6. France Stays In Eurofighter, 1980s

    Britain becomes the European Navy builder? :D
  7. Nazi Missile Development?

    I think they would have serious problems managing that. First off they are mostly ideological agents committed to communism so that would no doubt cause issues even if you are blackmailing them. Secondly the Nazis really had no success in running agents in the UK (and I assume the US) so didn't...
  8. Your favourite Cold war close call?

    When it came to analysis it was pretty much the case that there was a culture of telling those above what they wanted/expected to hear. Also at the time I believe instructions from the center were for residents to spend most of their resources on looking for evidence of that first strike NATO...
  9. Help with a soccer/football TL

    The clubs in Scotland have always had much larger following than those in Wales, NI and Ireland so I think you would be hard pressed to ever get them to merge without decimating Scottish football first.
  10. Europa Universalis III

    Reading AARs on the paradox forum is always a good way to learn about playing a specific paradox game. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284043 is one I would suggest starting with, obviously you don't have to read the whole thing but seeing others explain how they play and...
  11. Your Own Private Foresight War.

    If you are talking about the Cambridge 5 I think the soviets were at best highly suspicious of them until at least some way into the war so I don't know as just rolling them up does much. I'm sure you could certainly play some nefarious games using them if you knew of their existence and what...
  12. Old Firm move to England

    Too late, I think the only realistic time for the old firm to move south is when the premier league forms. As the Champions League grows in size and money available from that increases it becomes pretty ASB for the old firm to give up their free ticket to the big European circus.
  13. Keep westerns popular through 70s-present

    You can see a documentary on the making of Heaven's Gate on youtube if you haven't seen it before. It's called "Final Cut: The making and unmaking of Heavens gate", very interesting watch. Brad Dourif is :cool: though :D
  14. Keep westerns popular through 70s-present

    Michael Cimino hit by a bus in 1978 weeks after winning his Oscar for the Deer Hunter. This way Heaven's Gate never gets made by Cimino and will have at least some affect on the amount of westerns that Hollywood is making. Will also keep director power alive for a bit longer although I guess...
  15. How long before one can introduce fictonial people into TLs

    I would guess you have to assume that fictional people would have to be born after whatever your POD. So you could have a fictional private in the army 18 years after your POD imo but a fictional president would require longer.
  16. Its a Doomsday Device World

    That would just create a doomsday device arms race would it not?
  17. Help with Hearts of Iron 2

    1. I generally use units in 3, 6, 9 or 12 stacks. 3 and 6 stacks tend only to be for stuff like Marines though. For your standard army stacks I always go for 9 divisions. 2. Here I usually go for 3 Arm and 6 Mec/Mot per stack. 6. Brigades don't make good economic sense unless you are nearly...
  18. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    If you want to play ww1 then Vicky isn't really the game for it but there is an excellent ww1 mod for HoI2 DD you can find on the paradox site under the mods section.
  19. DBWI: Operation Overload Successful?

    Well for a start Patton isn't the type of general you want in charge of this sort of highly detailed operation, if you can find something to get him out the way that might be a good place to start. It would also help if the allies had more practice in amphibious assaults before hand.
  20. DBWI: No collapse of the Greater German Reich in the 1990s

    People might sight the arms race with the US as being the critical factor but lets face it, years of having to police the large occupied zone in Russia was a constant drain on the GGR's man power and economy. Boarder clashes, partisan actions and the sheer amount of land that the GGR was trying...
