  1. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    So does Japan. Drop a regiment of Stuart tanks on Guam along with an USMC regiment or two and it won't be quite the walk in the park of OTL. The Japanese will still win but they will have to pay for it. Add a couple regiments of Grants and a US Army division or two on the PI it is going to cost...
  2. The Second Patriotic War - An Alternate Russia TL

    Actually, introduction of the labor laws started during the reign of AIII and a law of 1886 included free medical help. The OTL law of 1903 was noticeably more generous than your version of Labor Reform ( ;) ) because it made employers fully responsible for the work-related accidents with a...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I say with the Americans taking the lunar site the Cold War just got very very hot. The USSR will push hard in Central America possibly Berlin.
  4. AHC: An Irish Economic Miracle

    Could be argued either way, I mean ideally training them up in skillsets could have been of value to the rest of the economy if there was more investment, but honestly given it was the first project undertaken by the Free State it shouldn't be surprising, they are still trying to figure out...
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Same here. But I now have a better understanding of why its not for me. From these explanations Smart Slashers and Zombie are pretty narrow minded and almost luddite. Don't make progress, don't explore places, don't aspire to more and definitely don't ask any questions or show curiosity. Just...
  6. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    Yes and it turned out the Germans got a long look at it and concluded their's was superior.
  7. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    The thing is IIRC the Norden bombsight was reliable.... under testing conditions. The problem was that the testing conditions were really unrealistic. They were tested mainly well under 20,000 feet and most of the time was used higher than that. Also Europe tended to be more windy than the...

    Map Thread XX

    I changed the colors of France and Sweden and I like it much better now. Also adjusted a few borders and added outlines for landmasses. Some in-world lore: - The Frankish Empire is the world's foremost superpower and also the oldest state among them (if you count the proclaiming of the...

    Quite possibly. How much closer, I wouldn't like to guess. It will be bad works for both.
  11. Albion, where the Sun never set

    Because of the formerly American things/people becoming British. ;)
  12. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    You are correct. I thought the thread was premised on conquering the Dutch and British colonies while not attacking the US. I think we agree that Japan could not hope to defeat the US so was there some way to accomplish their basic imperial goals without going to war with the US, I continue...

    I wonder how any of these shows are doing in the ratings?
  15. DBWI: Market Garden Instead Of Scheldt Battle

    Oh totally - the mission would have been there for the Allied units to lose - but it would have to take a cascade of failures for the whole op to fail And the reward of a successful op outweighs the risks IMO To my mind the 'failure' to take this risk allowed the Heer to reinforce the...
  16. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    It'll be very interesting to see how President Mac handles military reform; I've always been curious if Draft reform could have occurred before Vietnam. Would offering alternatives like the Civilian Conservation Corps and future Peace Corps be feasible for nation service?
  17. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    AFAIU Mithraism was a weird thing that sat on the fence, just like Hinduism does. I am not clear whether Mithras was supposed to be the ONLY or the MAIN deity, but that it was fantastic at syncretizing elements of basically any other religion of the time into itself. Sort of what Egyptian...

    I'm not sure really how bad the situation in NI actually is right now ITTL. Yes there are paramilitaries on the streets: and there must be some truth behind Lynch's statement: but I haven't seen anything in the TL posts about mass killings actually happening or anything which implies the...
