  1. DBWI: Make the Republicans “the party of the right” and the Democrats “the party of the left”?

    I still maintain that pre-Teddy Roosevelt the Republican Party was left-center both economically and on social issues. No question that if Eugene Debs had split the Party, TR would have lost, and probably the perception of having lost unfairly and stupidly. And maybe the Republicans would have...
  2. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    What happens if German Battle cruisers try to cross T of the 5th Battle squadron? I suspect that 5BS simply angles away on interior lines while shooting several kinds of shit out of them. Leading the survivors and the HSF Battle fleet onto the main body of the Grand Fleet. One, maybe two of...
  3. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    At Jutland Evan-Thomas' 5th Battle Squadron didn't have much problems in catching up with the German BC and showing them that Beatty's awful gunnery would not apply to the ships Jellicoe trained in Scapa Flow. Why would things be different now?
  4. the best movies never made

    And ABBA's "Waterloo" is re-released in the United States and elsewhere as a result of the success of the movie version of Waterloo and shoots to #1 with a bullet (pun most definitely intended), in July of 1975, landing there for three weeks and displacing "Love Will Keep Us Together" as the #1...

    WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    And that's not talking about throwing through the window the fact that is to defend A-H from Serbia and Russia at the same time, butterflying then WW1 as a whole. That in itself brings an earlier Yugoslavia (if A-H loses) and possibly make Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece to go in a different...

    UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    very doubtful. F-14 just isn't as fuel efficient for dumping large amount of bombs Tomcat was $21 million, Intruder was $5.3M
  7. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Awesome story dude looking forward to new chapters.
  8. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    You know, that just might happen ITTL. It is that kind of place.
  9. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    Those that are still there, yes. The Finnish state acted as the protector of the Ingrians and a lot of them were moved as part of the population exchanges. But Finland is also a kind of 'big brother' to Estonia, their policies are very similar. They are getting it this time around, but a city...
  10. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    Yeah, but Lockheed or Boeing are still more likely to get selected, and the project is also still likely to founder on public opposition and spiraling budgets. Even without Vietnam, budgets will be an issue; after all, people won't know what they're not spending money on, so government spending...

    Edward III a Scottish prisoner?

    It also leads to a potential civil war if Edward III is ever freed
  12. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    There wouldn't have BEEN any HSF battlecruisers to get ahead of 5th Squadron. They would have all wound up like Von der Tann, or worse. That overtake would be at a walking pace with the British 15" guns having at least two hours (assuming a four knot speed advantage, which didn't really apply at...
  13. Edward III a Scottish prisoner?

    I imagine this results in whoever takes control after E3 is captured in doing something so crazy in order to repair the damaged reputation of the Plantagenets

    UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    They would push for it, and Prestige is a powerful motivator. Practical or efficient is a whole other matter
