  1. Population of China if the CCP never came to power?

    Can you send me the link to that thread?

    WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    Said emperor comes down with a sudden case of the dead and a man who’s smarter about his choice of religion and doesn’t want to come down with a sudden case of the dead takes over.
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Bugger, looks like I made the mistake of thinking I was posting in a different but very similar thread. Everything I said here applies the Forge of Weyland.
  4. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    ...the GIC Northern Ireland. Plus reinforcements with tanks and artillery and air support. I'm not sure that the Tory party as a whole could do that* and while Labour would support intervention it probably would want a UN force brought in quickly The author seems to be writing that the British...
  5. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    TBH, it looks fine to me either way.
  6. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Contact meets National Geographics Mars show would be a great vibe.

    AHC: The world today looks like this 1962 prediction

    Guessing these minicars are electric, the people in the crowd aren't passing out from carbon monoxide poisoning. I wonder if the movie theater is a drive-in for the minicars, it would save so much effort cleaning popcorn and soda off the floor. No, he's just a bad driver, see how he's veering...
  8. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Oof. That Grey guy really isn't good news and exactly the kind of person you don't want enforcing your authority because men like him mean that there will always be fresh revolts and assorted other kinds of unrest.
  9. Alternate warships of nations

    This concept seems a little ridiculous and probably has been discussed here, but WI someone built a battlecruiser-sized ship with no big guns? Basically cram a bunch of 6-inch guns onto the hull with maybe 3-inch or 4-inch guns as a secondary armament along with 4-6 torpedo tubes and rely on...
  10. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    Because the structure of the Umayyad caliphate was to extract resources from conquered populations with an Arab military elite residing in garrison towns and leaving the day to day administration to the locals. Why would this not be possible in Byzantium? The Emperor converting means their...
  11. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    This seems like what you're looking for. but I'd adapt the post war Stirling mag for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danuvia_43M_submachine_gun
  12. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    On the other hand, the Byzantines have been fighting each other viciously for twenty odd years by the time Leo III comes to power. I have seen no indication that any of the major power players thought to ensure they were safe from these existential external threats before they sorted things out...
  13. AHC: The world today looks like this 1962 prediction

    In fact, there appear to be few if any changes to early-60s fashion styles in that picture. Possibly for the best, because such attempts often end up looking ridiculous.
  14. This is a Question About the US Union Ordinance Department In the Civil War. . .

    One thing that always made me angry about the American Civil War is that, as far I can tell, the United States of America's Ordinance officer, a man named Ripley, wanted to equip the first 75,000 man Militia muster, with mostly smoothbore muskets and Springfield Armory Rifle-Muskets. There see...
  15. Thanks

    Thanks
  16. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Whatever the jump is, if I were doing it, I’d move out of the antagonism of the Cold War and show the struggles to build an international space program. That would be the main conflict of season 2, reconciling all the various forces to get everybody on the same page a la Contact. edit: season...
  17. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    Even that would be a very hard sell, given Islam viewed itself as being distinct from Christianity. And given the massive difference in doctrine and customs even the early Islam had, this was always apparent to everyone. Also, we have to remember that at this point Islam was very much still an...
  18. Viability of a "Boghammar Swarm" in WWII?

    How many of these ships could be built for the same cost of a battleship? How big is the swarm of torpedoes and how many of these small ships does the op want in a "boghammer swarm"? I'm imagining several dozen of these small ships attacking 2 or 3 big ships.
  19. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I wonder if the jump will be five minutes at the end and be the Mars mission landing on Mars, much like Sea Dragon in S1
  20. Maxell

    WI: Imperial Russia vs Confederate states of America cold war

    Would it have the same values of the CSA of the later 19th centurty?
