  1. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    I never said that the US Military belived an all-out strategic exchange was beneficial for them. What I said was that they did belive that a nuclear war could be limited and winnable, and that a first-strike was a viable option. And this definetly counts as threatening the very existence of the...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    One thing to keep in mind is that Renata isn't going to immediately alienate the Stasi, as she is still fundamentally a hardliner. I'd argue the Stasi would probably be more nervous of Krenz and his opinions of Romanov, and the possibility of a Dubcek situation. I imagine they may not take her...
  3. The Forge of Weyland

    The problem with period maps is finding useful ones, then editing the hell out of them. Very time consuming. So a modern google map is a quick and dirty way of showing what's going on. Now do you see why I prefer stories about Aircraft Carriers? :D
  4. AHC: Most plausible/interesting World War IV

    So... I have a challenge since I am drawing a blank. World War IV. How does it happen? Bonus points for either plausibility or how interesting it is. Only rules are WWI and WWII happened as OTL. WWIII can be anything you want.
  5. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    Somewhat similarly LA still has a sizable Oil industry in it with somewhere between hundreds to thousands of oil rigs pulling up crude in the city. For the most part the rigs are disguised as/ hidden inside of fake structures like warehouses. https://www.stand.la/history-of-oil-in-los-angeles.html

    Yeah, more or less. They probably need to get a dispensation too.
  7. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    Perhaps the problems with France included but were not limited to a Maginot mentality, a lack of communciations gear in vehicles, and an air power disadvantage. No one expected an attack through the Ardennes, and once the Maginot line was pierced the leadership began a self-fulfilling belief...
  8. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Wolf tourist "Are you even a proper native Indian?" Shaman: "Of course I am, I was born in Bombay!" Possibly sneaking into Mel Brooks farce territory at that point.
  9. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Ok...so Mary Tudor the elder basically marries Thomas instead of Brandon?
  11. WI Germany breaks Typex code after Dunkirk

    I think the 'constant length' thing came in after the British took advantage of variable length Enigma messages ... NB the commercial Engima (as used, I believe, by the Italian Navy) didn't have the plugboard (which the Germans took out a Patent on) .. and, of course, they used rotors with...
  12. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    https://savkinoleg583.medium.com/wwii-the-war-of-numbers-versus-the-war-in-numbers-b5ad7246c52d No, the point is to remember that the USSR might have fudged numbers here and there. Hell, I don't blame them, morale was critically low and saying claiming more people than they actually had at a...
  13. DBWI: The US was the first country to have nuclear weapons

    Bear in mind that the war with Japan was America’s baby until the Soviets stuck their noses in it after Germany capitulated. So you might get lucky and butterfly the four decades of insanity that was the People’s Republic of Japan, or at least confine it to the likes of Hokkaido and avoid...

    "This is a publication of the inquiry of Herodotos of Thurii, so that the affairs of men do not fade with time, and the righteous and ignominious deeds--some done by Hellenes, other by Barbarians--not go unsung, as well as the causes that lead to the subjugation of Hellas by the Mede."...

  16. what if Augustine Washington lived longer ?

    didn't Washington convince Jefferson to remove an anti-slavery paragraph in the declaration of independence?
  17. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Solid update, didn’t think the Union would be able to mount such an effective breakout with all the political infighting going on during the siege. Glad to see that Włodzimierz Krzyżanowski Is still an absolute stud no matter what the timeline is
  18. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Communism is a society in which the productive forces have reached a level of developement that enables humanity to overcome it's ancient condition of scarcity with a minimal input of human labour. It is a classless and stateless society in which the principle "From each according to his...
  19. The Forge of Weyland

    Doesn't seem to be a place called 'Langset' on the modern Google Map of Norway across from Rognan. Maybe the Norwegians removed it from the map after the war (or at least renamed it) if the stuff going on there during the war was so bad...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Marie is not being told what she cannot do in absolute terms. It is more like she is being told frankly that she needs to be smart in these sorts of matters. Kat being Kat, she is not shielding her daughter from the realities of irresponsibility. That said, Marie's reaction is fairly typical of...
