  1. WI: ATL Congress of Vienna partition of Poland

    I mean..not really. OTL The Austrian's were a much better option to be under compared with Russia and Cisleithania was much more stable and economically prosperous than either Hungarian or Russian occupied lands precisely because the Austrian's didn't constantly denigrate the inhabitants of...
  2. Map Thread XX

    A couple "not mine" maps. A historical map: a 1940 map from the San Francisco Examiner describing Italy's ambitions to create a "New Roman Empire" (As is now the norm, click to embiggen)
  3. Under what circumstances would NATO or the Warsaw Pact have actually gone to war with each other?

    Able Archer 83 was actually a much closer call than most realized: the exercise actually met most of the pre-requisites the Soviets defined as signs NATO offensive
  4. WIP Map Thread

    W.I.P. of a really, really multi-ethnic United States with a lot of states. The colours indicate which group is the ethnic majority in each state. Red = English Yellow = Native Light blue = French Purple = No majority/mixed Light green = Portuguese Orange = Dutch Light brown = Walloon Teal =...
  5. No 1991 August Coup

    By late 1980s both the Soviets and Chinese were on path to reapproachment. But a continued USSR even in a confederated form means central Asia would be fairly firmly commited to Moscow rather than Beijing. That would prob result in China's otl attempt at achieving sphere of influence over some...
  6. AHC: Non-European Colonial Empires

    Brazil gets Angola and Mozambique from Portugal in 1822. Very realistic considering Dom Pedro I had to refuse the "African" elites offer to join the Empire of Brazil.
  7. Under what circumstances would NATO or the Warsaw Pact have actually gone to war with each other?

    Then most of the Northern Hemisphere and a large part of the southern is dead within the hour. Awfully short war.
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    It's down to Spain and Italy. Paris may be a bigger market, but I can understand why EuroDisney stumbled early on IOTL.
  9. AHC: Non-European Colonial Empires

    Japan totally slipped my mind when making the post. OTL Oman is another that came to me afterwards.

    WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    I know, but I am comparing a Yorktown to a Standard. The compartmentation and build quality is like that between a Cadillac and a Yugo. The Standard at Pearl showed a lot of WWI era build flaws. It would take a magazine explosion to wipe out a scuttled Yorktown past rebuild. .
  11. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I think that the resemblance to Dutch is purely coincidental. Of course, depending on how far back the US/South Africa friendship goes, that may have some influence too.
  12. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    There's some very valid points for Quebec not throwing in wholeheartedly with the 13 colonies, but to those who raised them how do you feel about the chances of co-belligerence? Can a POD induce them to revolt at the same time while maintaining their separation i.e. No representatives in the...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    The Davis brothers are based on friends of my Grandfather. Names have been changed in the off chance that anyone else who knew them might be reading this.
  14. The Heir of France: King Roland's Reign

    Awesome chapter. Looking forward to the crusade and Richard's inheritance

    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    It's certainly the highlight of the original Magic when I skimmed through it. Glad that's not going to be a possibility. Any current frontrunners for the Euro Disneyland location?
  16. Under what circumstances would NATO or the Warsaw Pact have actually gone to war with each other?

    Why would that happen? Using nukes requires authorization very high up the chain of command.
  17. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I wouldn't be too sure, there's definitely a few "Larri Hogan" spellings floating around.
  18. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Whatever you think. A level bomber destroyed Arizona. Seven torpedoes and two level bombers sank West Virginia. Oklahoma suffered 5 torpedo hits. A magazine hit is very much of a random event. Even if the attacking plane knows where the magazine is, and that is far beyond the intelligence...
