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

    Thanks for the mention, good sir! Honestly, though, OTL's Day is the best of the trilogy, in my opinion. Romero's original idea was pretty sweet, I'll admit, but it would've lacked the atmosphere and sense of dread knowing that they're all that's left of humanity.
  2. AH Discussion: Portuguese Cabo

    Part 2. Conflict with Khoikhoi Khoikhoi tribe living near Cabo has made lots of problems to Portuguese settlers there. While the Portuguise managed to beat them back more than once, they still attacked isolated farms, so that was the impedimentfor large-scale settlement. Portuguese thus made...
  3. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    BSA had a licence to build the Kiraly designed Hungarian SMG in 9x25 mauser export. Value engineer this gun for mass production in 1939 and make plenty of hot ammo and you are good to go. BSA originally costed the gun at £5 each, this cost could probably have halved if mass produced.
  4. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    In 1905 the president pushed through the Naval Act of 1905 which called for the building of new capital ships cruisers and destroyers. Federal Law now was established in the lands formerly known as the Indian Territory of Arizona. Montana was admitted as a state.
  5. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    Well that's not true at all. Early Christianity spread so well across Europe and the Middle East before the collapse of the Western Roman Empire because it happily syncretized with existing polytheisms. Unlike Buddhism, which largely did not displace those polytheisms, early Christianity...
  6. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs
    Threadmarks: Nobody

    Nobody: 1929-36 - The Consensus It is accepted among the True Whigs that it was the pressure and attention the Garveyites put on France that meant the 1929 elections were held at all. This is a misunderstanding of French motivations, while Yancy and the French Soldiers on the ground might have...

    But Gibraltar is British.

    Sports What Ifs.

    In the world of rugby - WI South Africa align with Europe when rugby union goes professional in 1995 (figuring that TV timezones matter more than the northern/southern hemisphere divide), leaving New Zealand & Australia to form a new professional competition on their own?

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    They are generally what's on the tin, the only one that wouldn't be the most obvious is the National Socialist Party, which is... not a fascist party (as it does not exist), but one of the various socialist splinter parties that have cropped up over the years. The U.S. President is mostly seen...
  10. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    There's also the fact that Nazi regime will financially collapse under Hitler's pet projects unless it plunders another country of it's resources.
  11. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    the PRC uses simplified Chinese, and Hong Kong and Taiwan use traditional Chinese. this wouldn't affect things much tho as the Mainlanders should readapt to traditional Chinese just fine. If you write out how Cantonese speakers and Mandarin speakers speak, the results would be very different...
  12. Alternate 'Overlord' US Forces are swapped with British & Commonwealth, what's the consequences?

    I would swap the British at Sword for the Americans on Omaha and the Canadians on Juno for the Americans on Utah. This helps the British co-ordinate and link up Omaha and Sword beaches. Also on Omaha the DD tanks will be launched inshore and get to the beach to support the assault unlike OTL...
  13. The New Kratocracy: A Boulanger Coup TL

    Good update on this one and it's easy to see why Britain's rather on edge right now. France on the ascendancy and allied to their major rival, Germany humbled and the Empire potentially threatened by this new power. Granted, Salisbury seems to be taking the matter in hand coolly, but I can...
  14. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    Note that the Umayyads were perfectly happy with prominent positions at court being filled by Christians, at basically every level that did not involve military command directly.
  15. Germany absolutely crushed by Allied offensive 1919

    No- or certainly not for any length of time. Once the Germans surrende, Entente troops will be desperate to get back home, , and demobilisation will be inevitable. So a prolonged occupation won't be feasible No. They'll jus t say "If only this that or the other - - we could have won.",
  16. The Forge of Weyland
    Threadmarks: 7th June 1940

    7th June 1940 Operation Juno began before midnight, as the battlecruisers slipped their moorings and joined up with the Admiral Hipper and the destroyer escort (Karl Glaster, Hand Lody, Erich Steinbrinck and Hermann Schoemann), heading for Bodo. The original plan had suggested an attack on...
  17. The Forge of Weyland

    What North Africa? :D The Italians are current doing not much more than make the occasional aggressive noise.

    WI: Gneisenau on Operation Rheinübung?

    As an adddendum, Gneisenau was the shortest-ranged of the Kriegsmarine's battleships, with a range of 6200 nautical miles at 19 knots according to Wikipedia. This is even less than that of an Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser. How do you think this will impact logistics? For example, where...
  19. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    The best handgun round available in the 30s was arguably .357 Magnun. Make a rimless .357 round and offer it in a decent SMG and you have a great weapon. If you want a SMG with an existing auto pistol round but with a bit more range than 9mmP, the choices are not much, you have 9 and 7,63 Mauser...
