    WI: Rome does not conquer Gaul

    This assumes that Vercingtorix is able to really maximize the prestige of his victory and build a strong Gaulish kingship which survives him. This is entirely possible, but it's just as possible that his power grab manages to antagonize the other Gaulish kings and lead to civil war or his own...

    The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    in fairness, most countries are. Especially old powers who benefit from the status quo. And during this time period, the only old power who hadn't gone senile and lost power was Britain (arguably Russia, but they were growing so fast and their power projection rising I'm tempted to call them a...
  3. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Thanks a lot @Piave92 ! Seconding @LordKalvan, RL is taking its toll recently... Good news actually, but still, interfering with ATL plans ;)
  4. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    Accurate enough to get the point across I am afraid that Stalin buried his head in the sand and had plenty of information warning him that the attack was coming. Here with the 'improbable' situation of Britain out of the fight the Germans cannot use the 'keeping out army out of range of the...

    Explain the AH Quote

    Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, late 1916 as German, Austrian and Persian armies crushed all resistance before them. The "final bell" would toll a mere month later when the last of Russia's increasingly weak armies was routed near Petrograd, prompting a general collapse in state authority and the...

    The Miracle Man:The Presidency of John McCain

    Easy way to remove Trump from the scene
  7. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Yeah, some people just like playing as the villain. I for one find an appeal in playing over-the-top horrific routes such as Vagner, Velimir and Taboritsky.
  8. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    All Germany needs to do to piss Britain off is to have more industry or threaten to dominate the continent even without a large navy or set off Britain's self-appointed policeman of Europe role. Really, Britain's really easy to annoy.

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    The only reason I can think for him being grateful for it is because it makes Henry VI look worse, but then again he is a traitor
  10. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    Against just the UK? I'm not sure that either can really cripple the other. It's comparable to Napolean and his wars. Britain might be booted off the co tenant, but really won't be invaded. "Fortress Europe" might be a blockaded economic disaster, but can't be directly invaded by the British due...

    Go North, Young Man: The Great Canada

    I'm gonna do a post on this in a bit, but that's gonna be a complete post showing the similarities and the differences. There is no CFL here - the NFL integrated the CFL and a number of good USFL franchises in a massive 1986 merger. The NFL and CFL were by the 1980s rivalling each other, and it...

    Timeline Challenge: United Scandinavia

    I'm issuing a challenge to anybody who wants to accept: create a plausible TL in which Scandinavia is united under a single banner and monarch. Your starting point can be either 1. The Kalmar Union Or 2. The Swedish Empire I'm curious what y'all come up with. Remember to have fun too!
  13. The History of the Restored Portugal, the Brigantine Dynasty.

    May I make a small sugestion: What if Portuguese beat the Dutch to the punch and establish Cabo colony before them? The Dutch founded Kaapstadt in 1652, so anytime before that....
  14. Battle Royale: The Last Generation Of An SNES-CD Saga

    I think she would have written a song for it. The song itself didn't chart or anything like that, but it did raise some money and she also raised some money at her concert tour in 2002. There were four Mother games instead of three ITTL, and they all got localized. None of them were huge hits...
  15. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Barbarossa cost Germany the war. Focusing entirely on defeating the UK, by laying a "siege" based on sub/air warfare, to force it to acept some kind of armistice, would be the only way to achieve any kind of success.

    Explain the AH Quote

    Dialogue caught on a security camera on Dock 13 in the port of San Augustine in the Dominio de Florida. This was caught between a Floridian Customs & Inventory inspector and Captain of the Aquila-5 cargo ship. The crew of the Aquila-5 had been infiltrated by Puerto Rican-based anti-imperialist...
  17. Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    There is nearly always, with only two exceptions to date (Diana Rigg in On her Majesty's Secret Service, and Eva Green in Casino Royale *2006 version* ) one "Bond Girl" survivor.
  18. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    oh no, the way it was phrased: "Many a Frenchman" was completely correct afaik...I've used that construction myself quite often
