  1. How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    Sweden was chose because they were the only nation that satisfied the contractual obligations. The British offered a built class to Australia and Canada. Only Canada bought the UPHOLDER class and paid the price for a series of boats with design flaws. France was never a contender because if...
  2. The Iron Age of Comics: Jim Shooter's Return to Marvel

    She seems to have more presence, or more intensity, or something. I believe her; I don't see myself believing Bullock.
  3. How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    There would be a limit to what level of maintenance could be undertaken at a regional city like Darwin or Cairns so they'd have to go back to Perth or Sydney after a certain number of patrols. This might be 2 or it might be 5, but the intervening patrols could be of reasonable length and...
  4. How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    While Australia has since WW2 often struggled to make its own equipment and ships on time and on budget I can fully understand why it wanted to pick a design that it had the ability to make and support and use as it saw fit. Take for example the use or lack of use of RAAF Mirage III fighters...

    What movie is next?
  6. AHQ: Without WW2 when will KMT China overtake Japan as the Asian power

    What do you mean by 'if ww2 is avoided?' Are you talking about avoiding the Second Sino-Japanese War as well? Because that would be very difficult. Delaying it for another year, or even two or three years seems possible- and the later it breaks out, the greater the KMT's chances are. But the...

    More likely to kill him.
  8. How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    Just to provide some context around Australia's nuclear industrial capacity. 1958-2007 10mW thermal, HEU reducing to LEU HiFAR research reactor from Britain 1961-1995 100kW thermal, HEU MOATA training reactor from USA 1965-1983 secret, small scale centrifuge uranium enrichment, reduced from...
  9. AHQ: Without WW2 when will KMT China overtake Japan as the Asian power

    The absence of a World War does not preclude regional wars and I view a regional war between Japan and China in this time period as fairly unavoidable. It could be a war that ends the regime in either country or it could be a stalemate, but a war in general is quite likely among two sides who...
  10. AHQ: Without WW2 when will KMT China overtake Japan as the Asian power

    With NO WW II? Including the earlier aggression in Manchuria/Manchuko? Or just no Marco Polo Bridge incident? The KMT had a fairly difficult row to hoe simply to remain the ruling party. Even in the best of circumstance pre-WW II China was extremely difficult to rule, a situation not helped by...

    Almost there. (And yes, those are apes)

    The Iron Age of Comics: Jim Shooter's Return to Marvel

    I kinda like the idea of Casper Van Dien as Steve Trevor: And as seen here I think Mariska Hargitay could make a surprising Wonder Woman: I agree with Jeremy Irons as Ares and Lynda Carter as Hippolyta.
  17. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Rare Logo Combination #1 Seen in The Good, the Bad and Huckleberry Hound (Released theatrically ITTL). The new Jim Henson logo appears first... Then the familiar HB swirling star comes second... Apologies for the low quality.

    Manfred the Elder also likes the idea that he is not in one of those graves, marked or unmarked, by Kat’s actual hand.

    Sometimes it's nice to see a map with no real focus on lore and more on just interesting ideas.
