  1. AHQ: latest moment to reverse Celtic decline

    I would go for the very latest with the fall of Anglesey to the Romans about the time of Boudicca's rebellion. An organized priesthood could go a long way towards Celtizing others and the Druids were centered on Anglesey. I'd say holding Britain in general from the first century onward is key...
  2. WI Germany breaks Typex code after Dunkirk

    Also consider that the early Enigma device was available commercially Apparently many German typists ended the message HH ;) I understand that standard practice for all sides was to pad messages to a common length before and after the actual message That is apparently why we got the "And the...

    what's a "lifeway map" ?
  4. AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    It was very likely the work of Thomas Arundel, archbishop of Canterbury and chancellor of the realm. Henry IV's health was generally poor after 1405 and Henry leaned heavily on Arundel and also his queen, Joan of Navarre, who had managed the duchy of Brittany for some time during her son's...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    With all these 'smart slasher' movies is there any chance of some 'smart' Werewolf movies please? Something that taps into the spiritual/shamanistic side of the Werewolf/Shapechanger genre perhaps please @Geekhis Khan?
  6. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Of these, the Atari Snowcap makes the least sense. After all, Atari isn't the one that's owned by Paramount. Maybe as an alternative name for the Genesis, under the title of the Sega Snowcap. It rolls off the tongue good enough.

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    This is an idea that's invaded my brain recently and one I just can't quite shake off. So basically what if Margaret Beaufort, otl Mother of Henry VII, was born a boy? Let's say Henry Beaufort, is born in 1443 and a year later inherits his Father's Duchy and is competent like his OTL...
  8. FRG withdraws from NATO

    That doesn't necessarily has to happen. As I mentioned, the first thing that will happen is that the US president, PM of the UK and the president will be on the phone tell "WTF are you doing, do you realize we still have a large miltary presence in your country, the Paris treaty obliges you...

  10. WI: Demographic engineering in Achaemenid Greece

    I think this was already happening to some extent. The Achaemenids used Bactria like England used Australia, for Greek rebels, miscreants, or such. A prominent example is when Darius I deported to the whole greek city of Barca in Cyraenica to Bactria for harboring assassins, or when the Persian...
  11. FRG withdraws from NATO

    Was thinking more of a James G TL but Tom Clancy works also.
  12. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Well, it's likely delayed (I really can't see Westminster just....sitting in France), but the Lancastrians are gonna need to be supremely lucky if they get the throne back ttl. So you're probably right on a hard AH basis, but tbh hadn't thought that far. If Westminster/a son survive I could see...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    It's not the idea of Star Trek Lego, I just do not think Gene has the legal right to Merch Star Trek like this? If it is a joint venture with Paramount sure, but they would be handling the press with Gene in attendance and its not Lincoln's name on everything but theirs. A Lego partnership...
  14. WI: Demographic engineering in Achaemenid Greece

    Honestly, it's vanishingly unlikely. That sort of ethnic cleansing isn't really practical at that time, and runs counter to the whole ethos and ideology of the Achaemenid state, which largely respected and coopted local social and political structures and just put the great king on top as...
  15. FRG withdraws from NATO

    If we read too many Tom Clancy novels, this might happen.
