  1. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    1: Thanks! I just wanted to give @PNWKing his dues as well, given his contributions to the more original stories found in the schedule. 2: Cool. 3: IOTL, it was DiC who managed the series. I think we should keep them as the collaborator.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Just wanna point out that I'm slightly disappointed no one pointed out the reveal of our true pod of 1518.
  3. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Believe whatever you would like to believe. You clearly aren't engaging with anything that anyone else is saying here (because both myself and other posters have earnestly discussed pricing issues within the Soviet economic planning system and none of us have tried to deny that those issues...
  4. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    I wonder if, assuming the Byzantines miraculously retake Gaul from the Franks without much trouble (they'd have a lot more problems to deal with in the late 6th century, such as the Sasanians in the east, the Slavs in the Balkans and the aftermath of the plague), they could help what was left of...
  5. WI: Crete Never Falls to the Nazis

    IOTL, Operation Mercury, was very nearly a disaster for the Germans, with only the accidental Allied withdrawal from Maleme airfield enabling them to reinforce the initial paratrooper wave. Suppose that Allied coordination is better, and such a mistake never occurs. Under the circumstances, it...
  6. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Well it is your story and you are free to tell it however you want to. In my opinion he was wrong a lot more than he was right. His defense of the Philippines was inept at best. His New Guinea was well done as was his Inchon landing. The advance into North Korea was nearly a disaster. He...

    WI: Tupac Amaru II captures Cuzco, Spanish possessions in the Americas collapse decades earlier?

    Well the Comuneros OTL had some twenty thousand and if they hadn't accepted the capitulation of Zipaquira there is a good chance they could have taken over Bogota as the army wasn't prepared for them, if you have them not accept the capitulations and take over Bogota then there is a good chance...
  8. WI: Tupac Amaru II captures Cuzco, Spanish possessions in the Americas collapse decades earlier?

    Which is why I think the rebellion needs to have the 1810 context: Spanish empire self imploding under foreign occupation of the metropolis and local rebelions from Buenos Aires to Caracas all at the same time.

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    For my next infobox in my "Cryptids and Fictional Animals Being Real Animals" series, I wanted to do the Nandi bear of Africa. However, I don't know if I should make it an actual bear or if I should make it a large species of hyena. What do you folks think it should be, a bear or a hyena?

    List of monarchs III

    Monarchs in Prussia 1713-1740. Frederick William I (House of Hohenzollern) 1740-1740. Sophia Dorothea as Regent (House of Hannover) 1740-1746. Augustus William I (House of Hohenzollern) [1] Monarchs of Prussia 1746-1763. Augustus William I (House of Hohenzollern) [1] Monarchs of Prussia and of...
  11. AU Fiction: CFL-USA - A different telling.

    Not bad one bit. Only question is how come the NHL’s Florida teams are in different Divisions? I’d swap Florida and Buffalo personally.
  12. Possible Alternate Jet engine pre-WWII

    What you're describing is basically an air-augmented rocket. They've been perennially studied to produce high-performance high-altitude vehicles, but they have a relatively high degree of complexity and a relatively low degree of efficiency (they do get a big boost compared to regular rockets...
  13. Largest possible British India?

    I could see bits of northern Thailand (Lan Na) and adjacent parts of northwest Laos being in it as well.
  14. WI: Tupac Amaru II captures Cuzco, Spanish possessions in the Americas collapse decades earlier?

    I'd be very surprised if Túpac Amaru's forces made it to New Granada before the Spanish crushed the Comuneros. He'd have a lot more pressing matters to deal with, like capturing Lima, which would be extremely heavily fortified, and protecting himself from royalist counteroffensives coming from...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Can a Mars mission be launched from the Moon instead of directly from Earth?
  16. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    Respectfully we have gone through these arguments time and time again. You are not bringing anything new to the table and it's not worth continuing to debate the same PoD over and over again. You may wave your victory flags across the internet but I'm out of this discussion

    America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    I wonder if Hong Kong/Britain has used the chaos to expand HK and ‘secure’ some of the land around the City for ‘protection’ purposes?
  18. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    More accurately within a few standard deviations. They would buy or sell depending on whether it outside of the few standard deviations for the model. All models work on that basis. If you measure free fall in a wind tunnel you expect it to vary slightly due to various factors. Same here , he...
  19. Possible Alternate Jet engine pre-WWII

    It is possible that if the Coanda 1910 have been taken more seriously either jet engines or ducted fan might have been developed pre WWI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coand%C4%83-1910

    Threadmarks: The American Exiles and the Buffer Republics

    Sorry for the time it took for me to update, this one was a bit on the longer side and I ended up losing inspiration once or twice The American Exiles/Early American Diaspora The American Exiles (also known as the American Refugees, the Early American Diaspora or the Blue American Émigrés) are...
