  1. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    When did the Portuguese introduce the maize to Africa? What did you mean by waiting for OTL?
  2. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Of course what they needed and what they had are entirely different things. It isn't like a motor vehicle where you can just redesign something and get it into production and use in about a decade if going from nothing. Much less if it is just an iteration of what is already existing.
  3. Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    The problem is that arabic numerals, or rather anything with full positional notation, are so much more useful for calculations.
  4. WI: The Soviet Union survived as a rump state in Central Asia?

    This might actually also seriously piss off China if the Uyghurs start fantasizing about joining the Union of Turkestani Socialist Republics.

    I can’t wait to see him go to Coventry.
  6. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Thank You Muchly. If you need anything, just shoot me a line. I'll get it here, or FFN or A03.
  7. An Arthurian Empire of Britannia discussion

    ...happen that a language which has dominated an island for a thousand years is wiped out because a minority group of peaceful settlers arrives.* Not to mention, as we get farther away from the darkness of the Arthurian Age, there's extensive records of the Brythonic kingdoms fighting with the...
  8. What would the territorial changes be in a non-Soviet Poland, post WW2?

    In a scenario where the Western Allies are better able to force their way into Germany, and force the Nazi state to collapse before the Soviets make a large amount of headway into Poland, how would the borders change? Would German territorial loss be the same? Is there any chance of a Western...

    Report and move on people. Regards.
  10. WI: The Soviet Union survived as a rump state in Central Asia?

    We still need to remember that Taiwan still had China's permanent seat in the UN Security Council and kept it until the 1970's by using legalese black magic fuckery. While I don't think the exact same scenario would happen, if the government of the USSR still technically exists, the Russian...
  11. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline
    Threadmarks: Antigonos in the Morea: Part Two

    @NotAMyth thank you kindly! @Oda see below. Through the rugged Morea, the Emperor of the Romans and his one-hundred man escort marched, untroubled, uninterrupted; a column of mailed horsemen, the Palaiologos' twin-headed eagle once again fluttering above their helmeted heads. Though he...
  12. AHC: Make "Byzantines" consider themselves Greek before 11th Century

    I wonder - how do we know they didn't consider themselves Greek? In terms of language and culture, their Greek-ness was a matter of fact. Byzantine authors like Anna Komnena quoted from classic Greek philosophers all the time, so they must have recognized some continuity between themselves and...
  13. How would Kennedy, Khrushchev, and their governments be remembered if the CMC went hot?

    Probably depends whom you are asking. Leftists and speciality remaining communists would see JFK really bad light but right-wingers might are softer towards him altough they too would blame him from several mistakes. But they would give major guilty to Khruschev due his stupid gamble which...
  14. WIP Map Thread

    Progress on the mega-accurate (for some reason) 500 BC map that will be used in Where Do We Go Next?. At this point it's so detailed that it can be uploaded as a new map. Working on the European tribes as well as Central Asia and the rest of China that isn't already covered by the Spring and...

    A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    So A-10 Drivers say 'Oh, why the Hell not, close enough' BRRRRRRRRPPPP to the delight of US servicemembers nearby wanting support
  16. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Or possibly a "tie". I'm of the belief that the technology of WWI was fairly unique in allowing for a tie relative to the technology of 20 years after (or prior), but I thought I'd put it out there...
  17. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    The Republican Guard vs the 82nd, I MEF, and 101st, with whatever heavy reinforcements trickle in during the battle, and as many carriers and USAF wings as can be surged into range? Oh and I suppose the Saudis and other local arabs for 'support', though really, I expect almost nothing from them...
  18. AU Fiction: CFL-USA - A different telling.

    Send me the PM when you can.
  19. how different would world war two be if the Soviets lost the Russian Civil war?

    This is such a colossal butterfly (and of course, needs a how. The White forces were not homogenous, well-organized, or strongly supported by the populace, so them winning is unlikely, and what the Whites winning would look like is incredibly unclear) that the twentieth century will be...
