  1. Mars aeternum

    WI: no Philip II of Macedon

    Well, the conquests of Alexander the Great became possible because of Phillip's hard work.. Macedon without Phillip could still have some limited expansion and get involved with the affairs of southern Greeks like OTL, but not with the same power or influence.. What happens after that is...

    WI: South Africa remains Dutch

    What do you mean? Then the mineral richness of Transvaal and Oranje Vrijstraat was well known: Kimberley* 1866 diamonds, 1886 Witwatersrand Gold *before annexation

    Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    The confrontation between Rome, Carthage, and the Argeads is going to be legendary. While Rome and Carthage have rapidly turned the tabled against the Greeks and Saunitai in Italy and Sicily, Philip is bringing in such a massive army that a heated confrontation would most likely decide the war...
  4. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    So the Greek Army had an interesting experiment with this type of round in the '30s: the Pyrkal Machine Gun Project. Two thoughts about the project: First, the way it seems to have been sold to the Greek government as an LMG seems like a good way to make the whole concept appear to be a...

    US territorial evolution in the Caribbean Sea: -1857: annexation of Navassa island (Guano Islands Act of 1856) -1863: annexation of Swan Island (Guano Islands Act) -1870: U. Grant's treaty passed in the Congress: annexation of Santo Domingo -1876: Beginning of the Nicaraguan Canal project...
  6. The Eagle of the East, Rhomania: An Eastern Roman Timeline (1196 - 1245)

    Something post 1078, possibly with the Komnenoi playing a different role than OTL (it's not like Alexius was the only young general who might have been in a good position to become Emperor) but not eliminated certainly could be interesting. Normans and then crusaders and Pechenengs and who...
  7. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    The last update on europe did have Europa pulling ahead in the race to crack nuclear power and experiencing somewhat of a military revival, so I suspect that Europa will probably survive but I suspect it's also going to slide into military dictatorship with liberal trappings. It might shed some...
  8. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I was surprised Paisley was never assasssinated OTL, other than that his rabid ravings were an excellent advert for whatever he was against (nearly everything sane & reasonable.)

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Do we still get Lt Alex and M'Ress in the Animated Series ? Since Uhara proven she can command , it be interesting to see her character take on more Command roles and spend less time at the Communication Counsel. Also would explain why they introduced M"Ress

    The Quarter-BAM project

    Adding @toaster404 update to Eurasia, I added my Europe map (I am planning on adding their subdivision.) as well as Australia.
  11. Balance of Power Without the French Revolution?

    On the contrary, rather than derailing, you've just outlined several alternate happenings for the rest of the 1700s I think these two: are more likely than the War of Bavarian Succession getting entwined with overseas wars: I don't think there's much that makes France or Britain terribly...

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    The others have lost their minds. It is like the German who saved the Jews in Denmark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Ferdinand_Duckwitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_of_the_Danish_Jews
  13. Crimson Banners Fly: The Rise of the American Left

    *me sees that bigger Socialist number* That looks quite promising indeed.

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I saw the Star Trek Animated Series before I ever saw the Original series . After about 6 weeks , the channel in Washington DC area , started showing the TOS after the episode of the Animated Series . In some ways, I still think of the music from the Animated series when I think of Star Trek...
  15. Germany's 'Inspired' Strategic Bombing Options

    I agree there. My remarks apply mostly to earlier in the war. The 'Blitz' against Poland, Low Countries, Balkans, or in the opening of Op Barbarossa obscure that the bomber fleet was not accomplishing all that much outside of ground support strikes. There are some hints of success in some...
  16. Is it possible for Britain to remain the number one with a POD after 1900?

    The strongest? Unlikely IMO. But staying in the top three isn't impossible, with the right string of events.

    The development of separate Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian nationalities/ethnicities

    I would say identities are always existent regardless of whether a people are independent or integrated. For example, Scots had the Scottish Unionist Party for a long time, it was pro-British, but also pro-Scottish at the same time, so they maintained dual identities, one based on their scottish...
  18. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I can't believe I'm rooting for Ian F*****g Paisley :(:(:(:(
  19. Is it possible for Britain to remain the number one with a POD after 1900?

    Avoiding sending thousands of boys to die and wasting massive amounts of resources in support of a terrorist regime guilty of regicide would be a good start....
