  1. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Unfortunately it's generally illegal to hold the children and family of senior air force personnel hostage like you'd need to do in order to get them to not play politics with the AH-56.
  2. Lusitania

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Again people are stating information without regards to to knowledge of the facts about geography, people living in these areas and history. Just for the record the people in Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland are not French speaking nor part of Quebec. They are English speaking and there was...

    Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    Thanks again for the further comments. I am trying to split the difference between 'exactly the same as OTL' and 'unrealistically different for the sake of different'. As these commenters have said, I'm trying to go for wars that aren't too similar to the OTL world wars because their eras...
  4. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    Iirc Jermiah S Black, appointed by Buchanan to succeed Daniel, was rejected by the Senate 26-25. So if Southern Senators are still in their seats, he presumably sails through to confirmation.
  5. No Carolingian conquest of Saxony

    I agree, the viking age could have started earlier. I think the saxons would have held on to there faith. For one, in this scenario, theirs a much larger pagan population. And considering the things Charlemagne had too do to them to break their will, they might keep their faith longer.
  6. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    First, considering the YA-7F first flew in 1989, I don’t think it’s took big of a jump to think that A-7Fs might still be in service for part of the 2010s let alone 2000. The aircraft is basically an overhauled A-7D that has been stretched 4 feet and reengined with an F100 engine of the same...
  7. AHC: Non-European Colonial Empires

    Liking the suggestions of involving more "thalassic" sea focused states (rather than Zheng He again!). What about East Africa, anything possible there?
  8. Britain colonized

    So I guess we are looking for a major BritScrew in the shadow of a EuropScrew (possible with a Chinawank/Indiawank/ArabWank on top). The lazy/easy option is to have some sort of extreme disease ravage Europe and leaving it depopulated, kinda like The Years of Rice and Salt scenario. However...
  9. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    FWIW my understanding was that the horse at 1,000 yards was a USA pre WW1 .30-06 requirement. The post WW2 USA one was less equine centred. Other countries had different aims to the USA of course. Often with shorter range interests.
  10. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    As pointed out, Canada's spending per capita was half that of other Dominions but this is a reflection of how threatened Canadians felt tucked away over the top of the US like a snug hat far away from the problems of the world (if they only knew of the US War Plan to bomb Canadian cities with...
  11. No Carolingian conquest of Saxony

    It seems straightforward to me to work with the Franks in the late 5th century directly rather than wait all the way to the early-mid 8th century, especially in a scenario where you want paganism to survive.
  12. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    And now i must burn every book of Bradley that i own...damn never know it about
  13. Britain colonized

    Some people consider Ireland colonised although I'm not sure if that's true. Rough descriptive use of non-settler "colonialism" seems to be "Some form of foreign occupation where there is a large technological disparity and foreign group encourages raising of cash crops (animal / vegetable) or...
  14. Britain colonized

    Ok and where would you say that difference is? I think as well European attitudes changed as well- at first when they believed in natural law, there wasn't anything apart from Christianity that they thought was categorically better in all situations than other cultures, but then as the idea of...
  15. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    I think the RCN during the 30s operating a brace of CLs maybe a County Heavy Cruiser and a building couple of Flotillas of Fleet Destroyers during the 30s taking the tonnage (and burden) from the RN 'allowance' (in the same way as the RAN had) So the other important question is what events...
  16. How effective was the Soviet bioweapons program?

    IIRC, this is mentioned in Alibek's book.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Yeah I dont think this marriage could go ahead
  18. Challange: Prague Spring

    The decision of the Soviet Union to invade Czechoslovakia was very close and there numerous opponents of invading the country. Just have the opponents win over the "tankies" and the Prague Spring succeeds.
  19. AHC: Qing North and Buddhist South China

    That's not really how religion works in China, people support institutions and practice religious techniques without then going oh that means that I belong to this religion. You can definitely get a situation where 90% of people regularly practice Buddhist meditation for example or know Buddhist...

    AHC: Make "Byzantines" consider themselves Greek before 11th Century

    Yeah, that could be a possible way that it could go with the remaining Christians, as Rhomaioi comes to be associated with Islam, revive the identity of Hellene to self-describe themselves.
