  1. PDWs as spin-offs from the 'Artillery Luger' in widespread use in 1915-1945

    A quick question relating to the latter half of the period OP mentioned: I assume we're not counting SMGs capable of semi-auto fire as PDWs for the purpose of this thread? Because in terms of decreasing costs, the farther towards a simple blowback, open bolt gun you're willing to go, the...
  2. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    That wasn't the point I was making. The 13 Colonies never asked for, or wanted Quebec to join them. What I was saying was if Quebec revolted, and allied with the Patriots it would've been very hard for the British to take Quebec back. Quebec City is easy to defend against attack from the river...
  3. TL-191: After the End

    In TTL, Joshua Blackford’s political alignment was due to a combination of factors. After the end of the SGW, he was among those who blamed Al Smith and the Socialist Party for emboldening Featherston by allowing for the three plebiscites. Blackford, who had an active interest in military...
  4. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    Neutral nations in the original time line sent Germany a great deal of supplies at a cost above market value. The blockage worked but the cigarettes and other resources didn't get to Germany magically.
  5. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    You mean the claim that Admiral Kurita made in the 1970s? Sounded more like hagiography than history. EDIT: I don't think the Army account which you've quoted can be taken seriously. The Author stated: Musashi was sunk the day before and never even saw the San Bernadino Strait let alone...
  6. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    When Disney bought Marvel in '73, public pressure from within the comic business forced Walt, Sr. to put a stipulation that if Stan Lee wanted a seat on the board of directors, Stan basically can't go on The Tonight Show or Good Morning America and claim any creator credit without acknowledging...
  7. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I've got nothing to add about Mexico. I appreciate everyone's contributions and will come back to this part of the discussion in the future when I decide what to do. For now, I'll focus on the US. Wow, I really need a beta reader! Thank you for catching that. I'm going to correct it immediately.
  8. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    So at this point in the TL, I also have to introduce the animated series, since it occurs one year later than OTL (TAS was 22 cartoons, 16 in 1973 and 6 in 1974). My hope for TTL is to have 48 episodes (16 stories for three seasons, in 1974, 1975 and 1976). I have to run through the episode list...
  9. TL-191: After the End

    I will begin my answer with a caveat: I am unsure of the precise details of the British political situation in TTL prior to the rise of the Conservative-Silver Shirt coalition in the 1930s. I am making the assumption that domestic politics in the United Kingdom was affected by the military and...
  10. Soviet plans for a defeated Germany post-WW3

    Germany during the Cold War was of course divided into a capitalist democratic republic in the West and a communist socialist state in the East. And as we all know, the eventual outcome was the peaceful reunification of Germany under the FRG in 1990. The German Grundgesetz of 1949 contained...
  11. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I'm certainly no B444 but I found that when writing battles in my timeline it helped to draw out (crudely mind you, I'm certainly no artist) what I'm trying to have happen. If I could see it on a map, however poorly drawn, it was that much easier to put what I'm looking at into words. Now, the...
  12. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    I don't know how many transports were left at the time, but both the Army and Navy accounts convey that there was a very serious danger and that substantial losses could have resulted, possibly putting the whole invasion in jeopardy. On the other hand, a very knowledgeable poster on another...
  13. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    There is also nice Tolon Aix-en-Provence — Lyon Avignon Arles, and Corsica . I know that Corrisiac a bit rule but I think that the disney copertion may like the challgne of building up the region. After they have expernice with building infasturture thanks to thier progress cities incitive),
  14. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Just started reading this. Democrat, no? reverted to territories, no?
  15. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    HMS Glowworm, rammed Admiral Hipper on April 8, 1940. There was fog. Captain Roope of Glowworm was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, based in part on the recommendation of Captain Heye of the Admiral Hipper.

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    Damn, I almost feel bad for the Democrats in New York. They keep losing. First New York City, and now the Senate and Governor's office. Wonder how New York will be like in a few years with Reform Dominance.

    Here you go. This looks better.
  18. Balkanized Iran after ww2?

    I very much doubt you see a timeline like the OTL with a Iran a rump state if that and a stronger Iraq and Pakistan. If a Shiite Islamic revolution does occur however they would have claims all over Iraq, Kuwait (which is 40% Shia minimum) and Iran, USSR and would have tremendous support from...
  19. How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    "So, Pot, any comments on the color qualities of the Kettle?" Seriously, the whole psychology of the LaRouche movement is just sublimated male resentment and paranoia, Exhibit A being the aforementioned homophobia and AIDS-obsession.
