  1. Balkanized Iran after ww2?

    How much could Iran get balkanized after the second world War? I have read that the Soviets and the British occupied different zones of the country in that war. Could this have formed the basis of a "north Iran" and "south Iran"? What about when/if the Revolution happens? Could there be a...
  2. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So Marseille is out then? Would Bordeaux work or does it get too cold? How about Toulouse?
  3. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    If the Realism lawyers sue me over that I'll have to settle out of court because I have a losing case. I suppose there was a case of a British DD ramming a German Cruiser, but I think that was in bad weather.
  4. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    There are two main issues when talking about NATO small arms and ammo in the immediate post war world, both related to the Americans and both interlinked. The first is the decision to adopt the M14, on its own not a bad decision, when given context however a very poor one. The M14 while not a...

    WI: The IOS operating system is made completely open-source with the launch of the Iphone

    POD needs for Jobs head exploding at the thought of an open garden marketplace
  7. WI: The IOS operating system is made completely open-source with the launch of the Iphone

    It would be quite a change for company that doesn't even allow you to install its closed source software on 3rd party systems to suddenly decide to go open source. There's a reason the term hackintosh was coined.
  8. More escalation of COd wars in the 1970s

    All "increased intimidation" does is push things into dead bodies faster, at which point we are back to the three options. The U.S. would be quicker impose a solution if the Soviets got involved. At some point the U.S. just sends a couple Carrier Groups and a possibly a SAG pr two centered on...
  9. Make F101 more successful

    Yeah, fundamentally the Voodoo is somewhat redundant to the needs of the launch customer, the USAF. As a fighter-bomber, the F-101A and F-101C had somewhat greater range than the F-105D, but this was counterbalanced by the greater speed of the F-105 in the nuclear delivery role and significant...
  10. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Also played straight with each side increasingly tolerating the atrocities of its partisan supporters.
  11. WI: The IOS operating system is made completely open-source with the launch of the Iphone

    Apple really doesn't do open source. They use plenty of it.
  12. If not Russia what would have been the most likely state to have been the first to turn communist?

    OTL style, China. Depending on how we butterfly the Soviets, (Maybe Karensky makes peace ASAP, and tells the Entente, F-off) - How that impacts the western front, Dunno. End result might see either France or Germany go Socialist.

    A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    The A-10's gun is accurate enough to use against small targets very close to civilians or friendly forces. The GAU-8 has less drop, a faster time-to-distance, and better accuracy than the M61. Explosive weapons like bombs and artillery can't normally be used within a half kilometer of friendly...

    What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    How about get an earlier Seaway? Being able to at last bring the full ship building capacity of the Great Lakes to bear would be on of the best possible investments of any interwar spending.
  15. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I'm wondering if there is a company that could make a product like I'm thinking of? Basically a sticker with ink on the back that rubs off and makes a design. I'm just thinking that this would make a good promotional item, for example as a tie-in. So you could have it to make a bat-signal or...
  16. AHC: Make "Byzantines" consider themselves Greek before 11th Century

    I think this is an enlightening passage:
  17. Make F101 more successful

    Could the XF 88 have seen service and been adopted? For the era it's longevity is kind of spectacular. It was adopted in the period where the USAF/USN went from brand new top of the line aircraft to adopting it's replacement/next in line within single presidential Terms. I mean I think the F89...
  18. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Urgh. I just saw the request for 20 rays. Whelp, it will let me redo the canton's aspect ratio. Here's a hold you over:

    'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    And then there is Spain. One can see what I think? Here was a Spanish officer who is a veteran of the Spanish Civil War with its lessons in progress and he comes up single-handedly with that THING? WTH! Who was the obstructionist (Spanish obviously) rat-bastard in the soup who bedeviled this...
  20. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Either one of those four could work. Personally, I'd choose Random House for the agreement.
