  1. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Even if the British Empire chooses to believe the home islands are safe after the Grand Fleet is all sunk, why would they let the BEF wither on the vine in France? Is France going to be able to supply two nation’s armies while under a close blockade from Belgian ports?
  2. The Diamond Map Thread

    Dystopias, ISOT'd. Diamond Describes: The Americas United Socialist States of America: A poor and paranoid communist state resulting from a revolution in the 1920s. Current year: 1960 Quetzal Empire: A surviving Aztec Empire, bloody human sacrificing intact. Current year: 1922 Papal...

    What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    People generally recognizing that the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union has won.

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    But they mechanically CAN'T. They don't have the range or sustainment as I stated. Sealion 1918 is a fantasy for the reasons I stated. How do they lift and sustain 500,000 + troops?

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Assuming the HSF wins a victory vs the GF and still has a fleet stronger than the Marine Nationale (unlikely) it still has to run the gauntlet of mines and small, torpedo armed craft that were in the English Channel for exactly that job. As for Sealion 1918, why would it work then with worse...
  7. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    And if all three of them still show up on NBC in the 80's and 90's, something tells me that sitcoms or sitcom-adjacent productions with a humoresque charm to them won't be the only bright spot on the network after Bill Cosby tanked like an atom bomb.

    Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    I think those could work, although Walvis Bay is going to have to rely entirely on fishing and imports for survival (can't grow much in the Namib Desert).
  9. What material were key to Germany defeat ww2

    What material shortages were key to Germany defeat ww2? materials like tungsten ore and oil?

    English Columbus, now with Sweden-Muscovy.
  11. An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    It would depend on how religiously he is viewed? If people treat his text as the sacred law, the same way many people worship the words of Ayn Rand, then there will be a whole lot of the mistreatment of women.
  12. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I’d assume if the HSF wins some 1917 Tsushima-like victory in the North Sea, they won’t be mucking around commerce raiding in the Western Approaches. They’re simultaneously threatening cut lines of communication in the English Channel between the British Metropole and BEF while threatening to...
  13. the Imperium of Canada

    What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    Obviously not very plausible (the USSR surviving sure, but outright winning?) but I find the concept of a Soviet victory in the Cold War to be a bit more interesting then your dime a dozen Nazi or Confederate victories. So what would it take to get the Soviet Union to win against or a least...

    A more developed look at the "Good Draka" scenario of before.
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I'd like to see Columbia make a new movie perhaps based on a superhero comic. Would it be possible for Columbia to buy the rights to The Rocketeer ITTL, or was that just an original story. Maybe Holmes a Court ran off with it during his attempt to buy Disney.
  16. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    I didn't really check out this timeline until now and I have to say this is all-around brilliant. Nothing more, nothing less.

    The Anshi rebellion did,not Talas.The battle of Talas was a fairly insignificant battle.
  18. The Diamond Map Thread

    A somewhat different long-tern outcome to the 30 years war: some of Diamond's most sophisticated work. Diamond: This probably results from some sort of internal breakdown in Germany, maybe as the result of an even worse version of the Thirty Years War? At any rate, the Rhinebund is pretty...
