  1. Children of POTUS who could have become POTUS: An attempt at a comprehensive list

    In a more reasonable world TR's younger girl, Ethel, would have been a formidable player. TR's son Archie was an interesting case. Only officer in the history of the U.S. army to be 100% invalided TWICE for a wound to the same body part. Silver Star in WW I, two Oak Leaf Clusters for it in WW...
  2. Star Wars WI: Darth Vader depicted as black.

  4. New Deal Coalition Retained: A Sixth Party System Wikibox Timeline

    Let me crystal clear here. DO NOT start a current politics debate ANYWHERE on this Board outside of Chat.
  5. How bad would WAllied casualties be if the Reich defeated the USSR?

    Did you miss my warning a couple pages back? DO NOT push your luck .
  10. WI: The Nazis learn where D-Day will happen?

    The short version is that it really doesn't matter. By mid 1944 the Reich couldn't defend the entire Channel coast in depth. It had to use a thin crust of troops backed up by strong mobile formations. Hitler was fixated on Calais, so that was the hub of the defenses and the mobile formations...
  11. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    Let me be clear here. This entire thread tends to barely slide by the "No Politics" rule. Y'all drag my carcass back in here and I'm going to make it worth the trip.
