  1. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    TV actor originally considered for the Tim Allen role in Home Improvement. And yea, very few posts will be as dark as last time. It won't all be happy-happy-joy-joy, but no Cerebus Syndrome, I promise.
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Who the hell is Jeff Doucette? Also, MUCH lighter fare than the last update. I think we all needed this!
  3. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Holy cow. Just read through the TL over the past couple of weeks, and this is easily one of the best timelines on the site. In particular, truly in-depth looks at the Russian Revolution/Russian Civil War are surprisingly rare considering their importance (although I haven't read Feeble...
  4. What kind of PM Rab Butler would be?

    Not sure its fair to describe Butler as a 'german sympathiser', he was certainly a supporter of Chamberlain and appeasement in the 30s, but he wasn't pro-Nazi, he wasn't a member of the Anglo-German Fellowship or the Right Club. There were three points when Butler could plausibly have become...

    More effective Japanese ASW in ww2

    Getting rid of me? Oh no! JK :) I agree with you though.
  7. Magnum's naval PoD's. Ep. 7 - Danish navy puts up a fight in 1940

    The Peder Skram was launched in 1908. The Niels Juel was completed in 1922 and modernized in '36. Of the 21 torpedo boats they had in total, the 10 I assigned them to this operation were built in 1913, 1917 and 1929-1933. Torpedoes on them and the Peder Skram were 457 mm, so about the same size...

    More effective Japanese ASW in ww2

    I once started a thread on this earlier this year. Here it is FYI: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/ahc-wi-better-ijn-anti-submarine-warfare-in-ww2.504188/

    WI: Gneisenau on Operation Rheinübung?

    Perhaps - but which convoys are in the Atlantic at the time? For example, would Revenge and Ramillies be detached from their convoys to hunt Bismarck as IOTL? And what of Force H?

    Thank you, and thanks everyone for the comments as always.
  11. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Why do I feel like the guns are going to misfire in some way? A shadow of disaster is looming over Calais and they won't have anyone to blame but themselves
  12. 12 Years Under Twin Nicholas (Military Dictatorship in the last 12 years of the Russian Empire)

    I may not have time to write more of these for a while. But I'm thinking that the continued focus on the URP that the Generalissimo has makes the original coup perpetrators of the military feel quite dejected, and the original White Russian squad of Kornilov, Wrangel, Denikin and Kolchak might...
  13. Do you think the Union would have won a Civil War beginning in 1856, 1852, or 1848?

    It also would also be worth assuming other events post PoD would radicalize border states so they do leave. The lower south would not try to go it alone.

  15. Democratic North Korea and Totalitarian South Korea

    On top of this, we could also posit that North Korea being a competent demsoc (I'm imagining sth like modern Bolivia, or Attlee's Britain) would probably be more economically open to foreign investments too (especially Chinese). What I'm imagining is that South Korea would have the corporatist...

    Do you think the Union would have won a Civil War beginning in 1856, 1852, or 1848?

    Probably. It's worth noting that had the war begun in either of those years, less Southern states may secede considering that secessionist sentiment was much weaker in the Upper South prior to Harper's Ferry.
  17. More effective Japanese ASW in ww2

    From The Japanese Navy in World War II, Naval Institute Press. According to Atsushi Oi, who was involved in the IJN's attempts to set up escort forces and then develop a convoy strategy, there were plans to create a cordon because of the impact convoy would have on shipping circulation. There...

    How effective is mining in Japanese straits both for USN and IJN
  20. How would you make a a milirary democratic?

    The problem with a democratic military is if you can elect your superiors you can also unelect them, and your average troop could not possibly know enough about the entire war situation to make an informed decision. So you'd have troops getting rid of officers because they didn't like their...
