    Map Thread XX

    It is bad attempt. Why have you done three states named after cities? There are no such ethnic groups. Also "Kokandistan" even don't control Kokand. Same problem seems to occur with "Khiwastan". Also you misspelled Karakalpakstan with "Kakaralpakstan". Also these borders have nothing to do with...
  2. What if Taiwan had been a classical addition to China, not an early modern addition?

    My point though was that Taiwan would have had to have been of *exceptional* economic value for the Chinese to feel thwy should launch naval expeditions to colonize it instead of expanding "naturally" into the southeastern frontier.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    The Anglo-Saxons were not nearly advanced as militarily as the normans so it would much more difficult even if they did invade.

    Social perceptions of Vietnam without First Blood

    _Taxi Driver_ and _DeerHunter_ came out first, and set the crazy Vet meme for Movies, even though the First Blood came out first: it wasn't a bestseller at first, and the Book is different from the film that came out a decade later
  5. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I suspect the biggest thing is well religion, while rallying against the godless communists began a while ago the CIA and other organizations really took to supporting religious groups everywhere against the USSR and earlier China like the Pope against the USSR, weird evangelicals against...
  6. AHC/WI: What if Austria colonized Australia

    This is a giant butterfly. If he dies then, Europe is in the middle of the war of the Grand Alliance. I'm not sure what exactly happens then but it probably will not be a repeat of the OTL war of the Spanish Succession. In fact there may be no war over Spain at all, because Joseph Ferdinand...
  7. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Goodenough focused properly on his scouting role - perhaps seeking to reprieve himself after Scarborough when he did not press home his reconnaisance, Beatty's other two squadrons, 1LCS and 3LCS haired off after the 2nd SG and lost a lot of the scouting effectiveness as a result, neither they...
  8. AHC: Qing North and Buddhist South China

    I mean, not that hard with a POD in the 1600's. The Huai-Qin line famously divided the Jin and Song Dynasty for a very long time

    State(s) of War in Germany in ww 1 - about Cliches on Cliches

    Yeah, I took a dive into that pond a while back, and wound up with a swift kick... have decided that if I venture there anymore, I'll just wade into the shallow end of it :)

    An Arthurian Empire of Britannia discussion

    There is significant evedince that at least one legion remained behind in Britannia for at least a century after Rome withdrew from the region. If they could consolidate power in a small yet highly defensible part of Wales or Cornwall, they might be in a position to repel the Saxons and other...
  11. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    From what I understand that was pretty much standard for all military horses in the modern age (besides say officers prize personel horses). They just got worked to death fast. Same thing from what I understand for pretty much all sides in WW1. They went through horses almost more then they went...
  12. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, could Disney expand outside of the entertainment business soon. I feel like NYNEX, AMC (American Motors, if that company's acquisition by Chrysler is butterflied), Dial Soap, Best Western, Wendy's, Comcast, PepsiCo, Ralston Purina, Kimberly-Clark, Walgreen's, Denny's, Montgomery Ward, Hill's...

    Alternate warships of nations

    Here are the rules for the game I proposed in post #5,283. Claims thread opens 24 April, anyone who is interested in being one of the mods for the game send me a PM.
  14. AHC: Qing North and Buddhist South China

    I just wanted to try something new with the "divided China" idea.
  15. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    I did specify champions, Kings can have a representative.
  16. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    If an air force can afford numerous aicraft - many, many hundreds - then it makes sense to have specialized designs. IOW, what was necessary for Swedish or Spanish air forces does not necessarily apply for Soviet, Chinese or American airforces. However, I don't think that USAF will be at loss if...

    A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Most SLUFs were used south of the DMZ, most sorties from Korat were to Laos and Cambodia, plus the Iron Triangle in the South, even though yes, they did have the range for Hanoi, where the locals didn't have much for AAA or manpads, unlike the North

    A wrecked American barrel from the first Draco-American War.
  19. AHC/WI: Byzantine-Sassanid union

    Well it's not peaceful but I can think of a way to pull off a union without a Byzantine Sassanid war. Have some of the royal houses of Iran flee to Constantinople from the Muslims, and over a few generations or so they christianise and then in about 800, lead the reconquest so that they all...
  20. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Just a thought, building a fleet is a job for peacetime, so while Canada's job in wartime is largely ASW in the North Atlantic this force can be spammed out upon re-armament and during wartime. In contrast cruisers and fleet destroyers are hard to come by in wartime so if Canada has any...
