  1. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    They sent big forces into Iran against much tougher resistance. But in OTL it took a while to localize enough airpower to have air superiority--doubt it would be enough to save KSA or its oil area. Dunno if it would really make much difference even if Iraq took the area around Tabuk. Big...
  2. Lands of Red and Gold, Act II

    I haven't watched the video, or plan to watch it either. I think this is the same reviewer who left a review on Goodreads which amounted to "I thought this was a weak 3-star, but raising it to 4-star due to research and effort." Everyone is of course entitled to their opinion, and I'm not...
  3. Have the BMW M1 Series be as successful as possible

    The M1 was meant to race as a Gr4 and Gr5 car to fight with the Porsche 935. The cars limited competion history reduced it's appeal. The Procar series was , IMO, a bad idea, because while making the car better known, it meant it was mostly seen as racing itself and at the time I remember...
  4. Have the BMW M1 Series be as successful as possible

    It would help if the Group 5 Series survived or Group 4 rules were altered to make the car more competitive. The car was really very poorly designed for anything close to volume sales since that was never the intention nor desire by BMW. The cars were literally hand built, true race car style...
  5. WI Carter never became US President?

    As to what caused the rise of the Religious Right, I like to quote Paul Weyrich: "What galvanized the Christian community was not abortion, school prayer, or the ERA. I am living witness to that because I was trying to get those people interested in those issues and I utterly failed. What...

    Threadmarks: Antigonos in the Morea: Part One

    I had, it would seem, a moment of inspiration. Here's the next part. Of the poor dead Emperor's two brothers, Demetrios, Lord of Mystras, was the worst. Aged 46, Demetrios was a sly, greedy man who had long harboured dreams of ruling the Empire -- indeed, only a few years earlier, Demetrius...
  7. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    They would've almost certainly prioritized seizing the Gulf coast area with its oil resources and export terminals. Unable to put up much resistance, and with foreign help not available at first, the KSA ruling elite would've fled and Iraq might also have been able to take Riyahd with a small...

    The New Kratocracy: A Boulanger Coup TL

    Out of curiosity, what's the place where the Republicans held the State Legislatures enough to keep a Senate seat? I'm assuming New York, since a 4 seat swing to the State Assembly would have let the Republicans keep the majority and deliver William Evarts a 2nd term. Not a bad thing altogether...

    James Tullos is on this? I think that's the most prominent Youtuber I've seen promote something from this site.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    So I was thinking with Toolbox Theory coming out soon + 2 weeks I was thinking about foreign support for conflicts specifically the South African War and Japan. In a scenario without the ANC would the Japanese covertly fund the Sheild, South Africa, both sides or just sit back and watch.
  12. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Capturing the most hated person in England (if she uses the same lovely tactics she did in OTL) isn't a bad notch for Edward to put on his belt.

  14. WI: HRE Matthias has a son

    Uhmmm...you never mentioned Anna. She survived the birth or died in childbirth? Going with the first, she could assume a regency as Empress, if Matthias puts things into motion to have his brothers support her and get the protestant princes on his side. Having Ferdinand as a possible successor...

    AHC: better Italian economy post unification

    Have the Savoyards not be so short-sighted with Two-Sicilies. Instead of extracting wealth from it to pay its debts they should have treated it as a constituent region. Investing in the long term to help the Neopolitan and Sicilian economies to better compete with the Northern one would prevent...
  16. AHC: better Italian economy post unification

    It really did well, considering it was more of an application of the Piedmontian model to various states that all had different systems. The obvious way is Cavour not abruptly dying in 1861; another way that comes to mind is the Southern élites fighting Garibaldi more, which would reduce their...
  17. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    I envision it basically being a safety buffer against Narva, but sure, throw in Pskov. A border on the Luga river looks good on a map, but I don't know the facts on the ground well enough. Maybe some other feature would do better. Somewhere halfway down Ingermanland, with a lot of the actual...

    An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    The problem seems to be that they tie ethnicity explicitly to land. Of course, no single system would really work if everyone hates each other. It sounds like a mix of United Kingdoms of Austria-Hungary-Slavonia, and the Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika Who exactly holds the power here?
