    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    Trust me, as with the Communist Bloc, which split within 8 years of its creation, and within 20 years was at war with itself. But to the rest of the world, even into the age of glasnost and perestroika, most Americans saw the Communist bloc as a unified bloc. What I see happening is an alliance...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    So we have two examples of how not to design a submarine. The U-2513 was overhauled by the USN at Charleston Navy Yard and was manned by an USN crew who knew what the boat was and what they were doing. As I understand it, GUPPY was a hard sell at the time and the submariners were fighting the...
  3. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Ah. I've always heard that called a "Colombian necktie."
  4. Dawn of the Dead (2004) 15 years after the outbreak...

    Even if you found Fort Knox you won't get in. From what I understand it would take a nuke to get inside. Then gold is heavy. Even with large trucks moving any appreciable amount will be difficult.
  5. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    I mean, technically, Charles is being smart in a way - if he and Anne have a child in the next year or so, Mary will only be 7 years older than the child rather than his 16 year age difference with her; much more appropriate for a wife.

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I was being slightly ambiguous but I think too dramatic. But essentially the white managers who didn't make it out with the armed guards and got captured. One thing the ANC would do is take a car tire and stick it on your head, douse it in petrol and set it on fire. In the proceeding hours...

    Top Locomotives Never Built

    The Kawasaki NA Series Part 1 - 1990s Starting in 1992 with the DF200NA, the Japanese firm Kawasaki Heavy Engineering has become a major contributor to the North American locomotive market. Joining Morrison-Knudsen and the French firm Alsthom as being the "Mini-Three"; locomotive builders that...
  8. (military) technological progress without WW 2

    Even in the 1930s nuclear weapons were thought of as "special" (so were chemical weapons, actually), so I don't think this would actually change even without Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Especially since the literal fallout of testing was the main channel through which nuclear bombs transitioned into...

    WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    Perhaps Prussia follows the realpolitik line as it did Austria in the Seven Weeks' War or Napoleon III is not captured in Sedan. Does this prevent the unnatural alliance between the French Republic and the Russian Empire resulting in the Serbian crisis in a war between Germans and Russians...
  10. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    Not only majority of Eastern Europeans was half-slaves themselves as serfs, but also for centuries they were victims of Tatar raids and Black Sea slave trade, those who didn't fell directly under the Ottoman domination. And they benefitted from Atlantic about as much as Americans benefitted from...
  11. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    If you start with the premise of taking it away from Germany as a means of furthering the punishment of Prussia for the recently-concluded war, then who else are you going to give it to?

    It's best to take your time and get it right the first time. We can wait for perfection.

  14. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    nose with radar for artillery shells I consider these “proximity fuses” the highest tech which saw widespread use during World War II.
  15. 1960s Soft Drink WI

    First off, I highly doubt that any one of the businesses mentioned would have had cash on hand for such a gamble. Secondly, there was not an actual statement by Coca-Cola (the company) but by the CEO. There's zero chance some two-bit beverage company (at its peak RC was 10% market share) tries...
  16. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    I love hearing about the German space infrastructure in this timeline.
  17. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Actually, since the first Ruby-Spears movie since the collapse of Orion and the buyout of Ruby-Spears was released by Samuel Goldwyn Films, I'd say it's possible that Warren Buffett buys Samuel Goldwyn Films.
