  1. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Could be lots of reasons why it was Space: 1999 and not Trek. Not exactly sure how Moore would feel about mentioning Trek. Not sure how Apple would feel. Not sure how CBS would feel. Similar with BSG (add NBC). But it's also reasonable to look at how the show has increased the reach of...
  2. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    So let’s say the German battlecruisers are roughly parallel to the 5th battle squadron when the 5th battle squadron sights the HSF ten miles away and turns to run like Beatty did. If given an hour or two and a 2 or 3 knot speed advantage (a time frame and speeds compatible with Jutland) the...
  3. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Based on "real world" limitations (WW I 15" guns could fire beyond the ability of shipboard observers to properly follow fall of shot) around 25,000 yards to be safe. At around 20K it is "look to your life" time, especially since you are crossing the Tee of ships that can tear you to pieces...

    Thanks. Sorry, EG?
  5. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    The British spammed out ships like they were the biggest ship building nation on the planet or something....and built them faster than anyone else Because the British could do it with their superior shipbuilding infrastructure and experience does not means that the Germans can! Seydlitz was...

  7. No 1991 August Coup

    The bolded never happened. Looking at Great Powers: During the RCW, the Austro-Hungarians/Germans signed a treaty with them while the Entente had some small, peripheral interventions to try and get Russia back in the war (and in the French case, to try and get some of their money back) that...
  8. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Planes trucks and more still need to run. You don’t park it for 3 years. Less consumption than wartime but then again you run out of ability to wage offensives. Check out TIKs video on it he cites sources
  9. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    She is Joanna‘s daughter AND Joanna had no trouble in fulfilling that part. And Henry need that son (here also he had by Catherine: a stillborn daughter, a son who lived less than two months and another stillborn son) and right now James V of Scotland is the next-in-line She is taking in...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Question - what about using the U.S. Navy's 3"/23 gun in lieu of the 3" M1918? http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_3-23_mk13.php or perhaps the 3"/21 boat gun? http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_3-21_mk1.php
  13. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    That was true of all U.S. fighter training, why single out the F-4 Phantom II for criticism? The missiles of the time needed a lot of improvements, and the rules of engagement meant BVR missiles had few opportunities to score kills. Of course bombing North Vietnamese air bases would've been the...
  14. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Also, what will happen of The Rescuers Down Under? Just asking here. Will we have to stay tuned? I hear Cosy was nearly australian aboriginal. Maybe that could happen?
  15. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    That's the difference: I back up my posts with sources, you don't. Oil deficit was a product of running thousand of tanks, trucks and aircraft East after 22th June 1941.
  16. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Buying at a multi million barrel deficit per year. Your table does not show the oil deficit either. Production increasing has no bearing on it.
  17. WI: HRE Matthias has a son

    OTL Ferdinand II was from a younger branch of the family. Archduke Maximilian would be the next-in-line but in OTL he died some months before his brother Matthias. Albert, the youngest surviving (well in truth that was Wenceslaus, who died at 17 years old) son of Maximilian II, is the next in...

    I'd be interested in seeing this! Why shouldn't an Akkaidan-Canaanite mix exist though? Don't many of the Amarna Letters feature Akkadian with Canaanite quirks?

  20. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    It's nice to see that Eleanor is at least willing to move past Henry's past transgressions against her, and that she'll have an important ally in the form of Anne Boleyn. Great update!
