  1. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    As a fan of the F-14 I can say moving on to the F/A-18 was the right move. The F-14 was just too much plane for what was needed. It's a RCS about 20 X the F-18's. The Phoenix missile was only able to kill large none maneuvering aircraft, not nimble fighters. The maintenance costs were huge, and...
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Pretty much. I recall a lot of Trek fans and cast members were going to boycott Galaxy Quest until they discovered just how affectionate it was. Now it's considered an unofficial Trek film by the fandom. Shrek is kind of amazing in how it managed to work so well despite a troubled production...

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Orders of Battle - Battle of Jutland - World War I - NavWeaps Battle cruiser force of the Grand Fleet Battlecruiser force of the High Seas Fleet I would suggest that "bait" was a part of each van force's mission. The Germans, at least, formally named their scouting forces "scouting forces"...
  4. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    That is true, but ships would be placed by the Harbor Master, usually based on time/date of arrival. This map shows the berthing pilons in yellow. While that pair has no ship berthed there, Avocet maybe blocking mooring the carrier there. However, there is a free pair of on the...
  5. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    This is all valid reasoning, but there will not be a King Arthur here, so sadly we will not see how it plays out..
  6. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    That really depends on how much propaganda they intended to use. As it stands we'll never know, but I wouldn't put it past Henry VII and perhaps Arthur to proclaim that he was Arthur II. It might not fit the traditional numbering of their kings, but that could be changed to fit their purposes...
  7. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    “Into Iran” is a relative term. They didn’t really go that far into Iran.

    Threadmarks: [Map] Green Army: Administrative Divisions (2026) - A Follow-up

    Green Army: Administrative Divisions (2026) A Follow-up Hello, folks. I hope things are neat for you guys since I was out screwing around with this piece. It's another entry about the Green Army, this time on how they manage things in their slice of land. I'm pretty much experimenting with this...
  9. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    If someone has not understood it, Henry‘s thoughts on Catherine are motivated by the fact who her death had forced him to go back on the plans of his father who he had choose to discard when he become King, added to the fact who Catherine‘s father betrayed him in the war and she is a wife who...

    Armored trains post ww2

    If I remember correctly, they at least have one car filled with soldiers, and generally travel at 35 miles per hour. There’s a full white train consist in Armarillo Texas. Edit: Link to an article: https://www.history.com/news/nuclear-transportation-u-s-white-trains-cold-war
  11. Explain the AH Quote

    A line from the book "how hungary killed a turkey" by wonston churchill. This book was based loosely on the hungarian involvement in defending constantinople from attack by the the golden horde under batu khan. This book even though popular missed several key factor like how the involvement of a...

  13. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    I still miss my daily dose of Schlock.
  14. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Eleanor is very clever yes, but at the moment she's still a (understandably) naive teenaged girl who thinks her husband will always treat her right.. Though you are right, she will certainly have plans once Henry's nature becomes apparent to her.. Thank you so much!
  15. WI: Darwin reads Mendel

    It's cool that you mentioned the Charles Darwin's Library. I found a good site that contains a collection and reconstruction of books that have survived from that time. Charles Darwin’s Library is a digital edition and virtual reconstruction of the surviving books owned by Charles Darwin. In...
  16. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Playing on the Camelot connection and ancestry sure but Arthur would still be King Arthur not Arthur II as the first one was NEVER King of England
  17. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    It is practically impossible to imagine a plebiscite in 1848 where the republican option would prevail over a monarchist one, the more so in TTL Lombardy, where the package offered to the Lombards features both autonomy and a say in the constitutional arrangement. Which is why the...
  18. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well much depend of the quality, but a mean spirited Trek spoof in a sci-fi show can really mean shooting at his own foot as unlike shrek the audience for Katzenberg show will be composed by fan of Star Trek that can have a different opinion (the problem as usuall is not the parody but the mean...
  19. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    Iraq is a top contender for slowest moving army since the invention of the tank. Encountering even small units of poorly equipped light infantry has historically stopped division + sized mechanized iraqi formations to stall immidiatly, dig in (poorly), ask for new orders (the request would take...
