  1. Sports What Ifs.

    Personally I'd love to make a timeline where this happens and its based on geography. The reason for this is that in the early 1900's the Cal-Stanford game was actually a rugby game from 1906-1914 and only changed because Cal didn't agree with Stanford's use of freshman on the team and it was...
  2. AU Fiction: CFL-USA - A different telling.

    Randy Johnson stayed with Seattle and won his first championship along with Ichiro Suzuki in 2003. There were talks of him going to Arizona but fans backlash it and the deal was terminated. Arizona will win a championship someday, the Phoneix Suns are improving and while the NHL Roadrunners...
  3. Germany goes Communist instead of Fascist in the 1930s

    Honestly I think the best chance for a Communist Germany would be either at the tail end of World War One, or in the early to mid 1920's. If the Kapp Putsch went a bit farther it could have had resulted in a German Civil War that also could have led to a Communist Germany.
  4. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    I feel like thinking the Soviet system as this single unchanging monolith that eventually burned itself out due to redundancy is too much of a generalization. What would be considered as the orthodox form of the USSR, anyway? The strategies and policies of economic development between Lenin...
  5. If Mondale wins in 1984, does Clinton still become President in 1992?

    I think even if Clinton doesn’t get nominated and elected in 1992, he’s still young enough to run and get elected later on. Maybe he gets elected in 2000 after an 8-year Republican White House.
  6. Germany goes Communist instead of Fascist in the 1930s

    1) The fear of communism certainly had an effect OTL, so yeah, I think it’s well worth exploring the actual chances. 2) for example, a 1 out of 10 chance does sometimes come in. As a poker player, I can tell you that for damn sure. 3) doctrinaire, but not insane. To me, that’s more...

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Ahhh. No. Beatty LOST the scouting battle. What garbled information he gained, he failed to pass on to Jellicoe. Here... and Here... and... Here... and especially HERE.
  8. AU Fiction: CFL-USA - A different telling.

    Good list. Not much to say here, except I’m disappointed that the D-Backs ‘01 World Series title was butterflied away but as an AZ sports fan, I’m used to disappointment.
  9. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    The A-7 was built to be an attack aircraft flying off carriers as a replacement for the Skyhawk. It had a lot of expansion potential, that allowed the Air Force to get the aircraft to replace the ancient (but still exceptional) A1D and the elderly (and showing it) F-100 at a good price (McNamara...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    How the HELL did you figure this out? :p
  11. S. Marlowski

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    A still from the French Animé show Sorcière d'Assault or Strike Witches, which is an alternate history, military science fiction franchise which is set in an alternate version of Earth that was in the middle of the Second Great War when an alien race known as the Neuroise launched a full scale...
  12. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    I do wonder if a surviving Byzantine Empire (say no Fourth Crusade fiasco, leading to eventually reclaiming the borders of Basil II) would qualify here.
  13. WI: a different Anatolian beylik creates an empire

    I suppose a lot of it depends on how effective and innovative they are. The Ottomans were very often in the right place at the right time, but they also made very effective use of gunpowder weapons, and elite infantry to name some advantages. I expect whatever other Turkish Beylik that arises...
  14. Gen.Jurten

    Explain the AH Quote

    Contemporay commentary about the Australian Revolution. Erupted from an anti-tax protest, the revolution would went on to establish an Australian Republic in 1789 , as the British Empire tries to enforce taxation and cinscription in Australia to deal with revolts in America Of all the horrific...
  15. Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    That’s equal parts fascinating and baffling. Why would anyone do that?
  16. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    There was a 2 seat version planned too if I’m not mistaken ?
  17. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    Tin is less common than iron? I didn't know that; now that is interesting! :)
  18. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    There are many horse breeds with different qualities. And some certainly don’t have such massive requirements for food. Sure, mounting up your troops on finest Andalusian stallions will cost an arm and a leg, and taking care of them and keeping them functional will also take a steep toll using...
  19. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Yeah, and even I couldn't imagine Beetlejuice without Burton or Geffen working on it together.
  20. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    @CosmicAsh, did the Standard American English diverge from Imperial British English through purging of such Anglo-Norman loanwords where Webster was actually born in New England instead of the United States? Are there any varieties of American language? Due to low immigration sometimes, I...
