  1. Not Our Hour

    Conference could not be on 1/21/97. That was Inauguration Day in the U.S. January 20th was Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday so the swearing in of the POTUS was moved forward one day.

    Really? Haven't we discussed this in the past?
  4. Not Our Hour

  5. AHC Britian and France join the ACW

    Warned y'all about this a couple hundred posts back. Really unfortunate that some folks chose to ignore good advice. Hopefully everyone else will play nice.
  6. AHC Britian and France join the ACW

    Keep tell you folks to play the ball, not the man. As demonstrated by your own post #330 you are once again ignoring that basic rule. You were warned in November, on the occasion of your 5th kick and 9th action overall that you were on your last chance. Real shame you didn't listen.
  7. Most belligerent US president possible

    None of them ever ran for the office.
  8. Most belligerent US president possible

    Teddy Roosevelt never saw a fight he didn't like. Had he won in 1912 the U.S. would have been in WW I by spring of 1915. Everyone talks about Goldwater, but he was more of a "won't back down" than a "pick a fight" type with a military professional's view of warfare.
  9. The Japanese invading the United States during world war 2

    You need a much, MUCH different U.S. political scene, dating back decades, possibly a century. There was never a serious concern about even an insurrection (excluding the rather asinine Business Plot which was, to all appearances more a pie-in-the-sky idea floated by a couple multimillionaires...
  10. The Japanese invading the United States during world war 2

    A Civil War when? Even if the ACW had resulted in a Confederate victory (near ASB in itself) the result would have been TWO massively armed states glowering at each other while in intense competition, with the USA expanding to both coasts (California was already a state) and the CSA likely...
  11. The Japanese invading the United States during world war 2

    Sometimes? He makes Turtledove look like a rigorous historian. Very successful fiction writer, strong emphasis on "fiction".

    November 18, 1996. "Bowing to the inevitable, the Lame Duck U.S. Congress today confirmed Vice President Elect, Senator Joseph Robert Kerrey of Nebraska as Vice President of the United States to fill out the remainder of the late Vice President Al Gore." Vice President Kerrey becomes the...
  14. WW2: Make a single change

    For the Japanese? Invading/occupying French Indochina. They never gained the major food supplies that they had expected to gain for the Home Islands (the crops were mainly used to feed the troops deployed in the Southern Resource Area and keep the local population from starvation, most of the...
  15. Not Our Hour

    Since anyone can post, it is anyone's idea. :D
  16. If Japan had occupied Hawaii in 1941

    More like a huge stack of dead bodies.
  17. If Japan had occupied Hawaii in 1941

    XXL actually. :D
  18. Pearl Harbor happens one year later

    The IJN gets curb stomped, provided other elements have not changed from OTL (most importantly the Fall of France, which scared the piss out of Congress and gave the Two Ocean's Navy Act the leverage necessary to obtain passage). By the end of 1941 the U.S. will have upgraded the rest of...
