  1. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    I just looked them up, and those actually are a fair bit lighter than an SMBL but a large part of that will be propellant. But with chemical weapons, you really don't want to launch a giant puddle, you will need a spraying system and the like. Additionally, with ballistic missiles at least...
  2. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    i really do think that keeping .30-06 would be "penny wise, pound foolish"* the us needs to replace their entire small arms inventory, and can either just move all the old stuff to the reserves, give it to 2nd tier nations, or sell it to civilians. they also have money att, and a congress that...
  3. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Galaxy Quest is an affectionate parody that basically can be described as a love letter to the show and fandom...i doubt that this will be the intention of Mr. Eisner. Frankly what surprise me is the fact that he don't produce a Blake's 7 american version making the Federation of the series a...
  4. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Ah. Still strange seeing him.
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I know I check the thread daily too.... :-( A few pages back Allan had mentioned he was feeling under the weather after getting his vaccination, so it may have just knocked him on his fanny.
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Oh, you did not! Okay, nothing against Neeson (the oscar bait probably will keep his role in Schindler's List), but we could be looking at a much more different career Yeah... its not to my tastes. Typical of them. Can't wait for the Ringworld stuff.
  7. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Light attack was the mission it was considered for, Vietnam type troop support against an enemy without the AA that the Soviets had in western Europe. The A 10 was heavy attack designed around the mission of killing tanks and armoured vehicles in an AA intense environment. Light Attack is...
  8. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    How is it light attack? It Carries more ordinance than the Sukhoi SU 17 And I’m sure with the right ordinance like CBU Mavericks etc It could be a very effective killer of Soviet tanks And it’s M61 carried 1000 rounds Natural is not effective as A10 gun Eight more than makes up for it with the...
  9. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Different weapons systems. A 10 were designed from the start as a tank killer around the GAU 8, other weapons systems designed to hit the masses of Soviet tanks, and the survivability in the face of the low level air defenses. The A7 was not designed for this mission at all. It was...
  10. AHC : Islamic State conquers BOTH Syria and Iraq

    And that could mean the US and other powers could join in so the islamic state would have to face a lot of violence.
  11. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    How about very large anti-ship missiles like the ones Soviet made with a smaller high explosive warhead and another chemical warhead? I’m not an engineer or anything so please reality check this idea I think that metel or rastrub had a HE warhead and fuel was supposed to be incendiary?
  12. WI: Belisarius reconquers Italy

    Hellenization isn't very likely, as the Byzantine court still predominantly speaks Latin. Greek will be officially adopted by Heraclius, who is several Emperors down the line, and the Fall of the Western Empire is still in limited living memory at this time. Heck, the Roman Senate was still...
  13. AHC : Islamic State conquers BOTH Syria and Iraq

    Right The biggest loser will be Iran so it will definitely not allow it to happen no matter what it takes it’s an existential threat to them not like the made up threat of Israel

  15. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    If they keep going down the rabbit holes and not on track to a working bomb, you will still have reactors for power. Bomb research had a number of dead ends that ended up leading people to think a weapon type was not easily made or even could be made. Reactor technology is not the same as...
  16. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    I always thought the SLUF was such an underrated plane largely because it was overshadowed by more glamorous types Since it Was such a stellar performer In the Vietnam war is it possible that it will kill the A10 program completely? Will we see more widespread and longer service life of A7 ? And...
  17. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Earlier on in the timeline, Charles VII instructed his ministers to send a letter to the Dauphin, telling him to take Calais. I figured given the prestige that he'd get if he did take it, Louis took the bait

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Love to hear what comments readers have when they get through to the other side. First of all, thank you for the kind words. One of the things I really wanted to explore with the timeline were all of the different factors of the Russian Revolution which often end up getting overlooked...

    Will the LBJ/Bobby Baker scandal still occur in the latter part of '63?
