  1. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    ...per se, but the Communards are going to be much more militant about it. It helps that nobody is particularly attached to the French Republic as a *Republic*; the Brits were just as happy to deal with Napoleon, after all, and a traditionally-minded strongman promising to clean up the streets...

    WI: Nuclear attack on September 11

    There's lost and then there's lost. I think you're underestimating just how big a problem that would be. Heads would roll if a city-buster went missing, and the moment people got a whiff where it might have gone...
  3. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    The Italians wanted Nice and Corsica. I don't think that that would harm France's economy all that much.
  4. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    If John Beaufort somehow survives 1471 as a Lancastrian and flees to France, Edward will definitely not be as lenient as he was otl. If Beaufort sticks around until Edward invades France one of the conditions of an alt-Picquigny would likely be that Louis XI hands Beaufort over to Edward... and...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Pretty much everything I could have said has already been said by other people (and probably a lot better than I could have said it since I’m trash at putting my thoughts into words), especially Epharkhos, who I think totally hits the nail on the head, and hits it so hard it goes straight...
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    As scummy as Eisner is being, happy Larry Niven is getting a well deserved payday for his trouble.
  7. WI: Nuclear attack on September 11

    I mean, yeah, it is incredibly unlikely, but then the US did lose six nuclear weapons OTL... I don't think it's impossible that such a weapon might be forgotten, in say, a more lengthier and fractious collapse of the Soviet Union, or general corruption in China or Pakistan... even the US lost a...
  8. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Why spam out Tribals? They are a fairly specialized design (an ass-kicking fast fleet scout and heavier light screening element) but that is not the threat profile that Canada needs its destroyers to meet. They need either good ASW ships or fairly good generalists with excellent sea keeping...
  9. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Yeah but why would the German battle line be unscreened? If British destroyers can force faster German battlecruisers into an unfavorable position against the 5th battle squadron, why can’t German destroyers force the 5th battle squadron into an unfavorable position against the HSF? I don’t...

    Russia vs Germany, WW2

    You need a better scenario to explain a British armistice. Germany moves faster to the Channel and cut the British line of retreat to the sea forcing a British surrender at Dunkirk and no escape of British force to the UK. Churchill dies from a stroke or accident etc. Negotiations result in...
  11. Andrew Boyd: Duke of Dank

    WI: Nuclear attack on September 11

    If it got to a point beyond where @Resurgam pointed out it'd likely unravel, then one could reasonably expect the US to launch pretty much everything they had on the Taliban.

    It seems to me you are using a looking glass to find fires, but it's sun outside so you start them yourself.

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Hmm, true, Jasper and his nephew weren’t as important as Beaufort would be.

    WI: Nuclear attack on September 11

    There's imperfection and then there's "oopsie, we lost a city buster" - which this would be. IE, such a disappearance or theft would cause warning bells to ring and a search to begin.
  15. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    All the main leaders of the Lancasters died at Tewksbury or shortly after: Jasper and Oxford were lucky to escape but neither of them had Lancaster blood
  16. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Fuel shortage was also a result of the minor skirmish - 200-odd soldiers throwing rocks, nothing big - between Axis/Germany and Soviet union from mid-1941 on. Less engine-hours than OTL, talk millions a day, tend to lower fuel consumption by a large margin, that in result improves the fuel...
