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

    My "case" is simply that effective pricing is not the only or even the most important thing when it comes to how well an economy runs and that you are far too focused on pricing as the alpha and omega of economic performance. Capitalist as well as socialist economies suffer from mis-pricing...
  2. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Like in any war of occupation, the English occupiers in Ireland are made up of the sorts that you would not have lunch with on a normal basis. And in those days, the second sons of wealthy magnates are usually the most aggressive and thus more likely to commit acts that we would consider...
  3. Germany absolutely crushed by Allied offensive 1919

    The most important aspect is if this does or does not alter the final peace treaty. If it leads to a significantly more equitable peace then theres immense changes down the line. If not, then there may be immense changes down the line. Odds are you wont end up with the same results as OTL in...

    "Most Interesting Scenario To You" Redux Thread

    I do have a book about Maggie that I might start reading for the sake of research for the TL. It’s definitely on my to-do list, is all I can say
  5. AHC: early 1900s anarchists notice that American mobsters often seen as Robin Hood figures — and go this route?

    It seems like most of the militant political groups that heavily rely upon things like theft, smuggling, drug production, and the like to fund their political operations almost always end up focusing more and more on the money making ventures and gradually just turn into organized crime...
  6. Largest possible British India?

    You are correct, I forgot to mention that there are parts of Thailand as well
  7. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I have to wonder what the IRA and other such organizations are going to think of the UK. Will they consider the UK complicit in what is occurring now? The UK has thus far had a "hands off" approach. If they think the UK is at all responsible for this blood won't only flow on the streets of...
  8. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    All of which is also determined by price. Does the strength of the material make up for its cost? If you can use 1/10 of a more expensive material because it can support the same weight it is worth it. If high alloy steel cost as much as gold (absurdly high to illustrate a point) you are less...

    And to imagine Male!Margaret Beaufort becoming Beaufort King of England and Lord of Ireland if his OTL personality remains. Not sure about you @RedKing, but I'll be down to watch and like a TL like that.
  10. The VT-BAM project

    Thank you!
  11. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    No, I will deny this. At no time as general during the war did he advocate for the use of nuclear weapons. This is a decades old claim from Truman that has no basis in reality. I feel like this has been beaten to death in this TL, go back and read the rest of the discussion in here. Truman...
  12. DBWI: Market Garden Instead Of Scheldt Battle

    Nonsense The SS 'Panzer' units at Arnhem was 2 Divisions in name only - both units having been shattered over the summer battles in Normandy and 'resting' in order to absorb reinforcements and new equipment a process only just started The airborne units were quite capable of grabbing the 8...
  13. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I am growing increasingly convinced that Northern Ireland circa 1972 was actual Lebanon circa 1985, but with shitty weather.
  14. Photos from World War Z

    Argentinian mountain soldiers. (Cazadores de Montaña) on June 2010, fighting against zombies, near Mendoza. Headquartered on Primeros Pinos, Neuquén Province, they survived the outbreaks in Southern Argentina

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Goddammit, now I gotta go watch that movie again. Seriously though I picture the Zhukov from that movie fitting in well in this timeline.
  16. Germany absolutely crushed by Allied offensive 1919

    Probably this means allowing or helping right wing factions to be in charge in Germany, propping up the German army remnants against the communists. Certainly the could blame Moltke and think they could won in 1914 tweaking some stuff, the stab in the back theory is a little harder here without...
  17. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Henry could swap in the old Catherine for a new one hahaha

    Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    If it's not too much to ask, can you produce a list of MPs for Sheffield constituencies since 1923?
  19. Albion, where the Sun never set

  20. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    I think the title should be "Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House." Better symmetry.
