    what exactly is so clichéd about this?
  2. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Its possible or at least at the very end of the episode.I just hope that they dont skip too much. I think we are all feeling a little unconsciously insecure about how long the show will last as is frequently a concern with sci fi but by all accounts I believe the main guy at Apple TV loves FAM...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I don't think that'll happen. I think this is a ten-episode season and we have seen seven of them thus far. So it seems to me that we will be seeing just 1983. If we do see past that it'll likely be near the start of 1984. If we jump ten years we'll land in 1994. So based on where in 1994 I...
  4. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    I could agree with some of the things you say here but on one ocassion your post betray's such a lack of knowledge that its hard to take seriously the rest. It was the Dual Monarchy or Austria-Hungary becuase Hungary was in most ways a separate state. There was not an imperial diet with a...
  5. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    The question as posed doesn't work. Christianity and Islam are very, very weird among world religions in that they really resist syncretizing influences and tend to spread like wildfire. Judaism and Zoroastrianism were extremely resistant to syncretism, and Buddhism was proselytizing, but...

    The Second Patriotic War - An Alternate Russia TL

    The Ottoman Empire capitulates earlier, the Caucasus campaign will be more successful so maybe the Armenian Genocide is prevented. An earlier Brusilov offensive so that Galicia-Lodomeria will be taken earlier. The German front will mostly be defensive, maybe Memel and Poznan will be taken. The...
  7. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    I think the problem with kill counting is not that they all thought it was a great plan, it's that they didn't have any other implementable plans (partly due to being hedged in by political reality) and they "needed to do something" and this was something. See also 'an OK plan today is better...
  8. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I wish there were more real world impacts, that you're cutting his political career short so he can do the movies is, frustrating a little, when the more interesting route surely would be for the political career to take off and Takei have to miss out on them, before making a return in TUC, as...

    It are simple maps from the internet, Wikipedia I think and altered with paint or paint3D. Or you copy them from the time line and alter them. I stopped the thread since this dynastic stories become very fast too complicated.

  11. WI Nazis overthrown from within ?

    Very small, because at the time they didn't see the nazi's as the main cause of the war, but the Prussian/German military tradition.

    WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    Not happening - anyone who tried would see immediate rebellion within Constantinople. Religion mattered to these people, to a degree where the Byzantines saw themselves in the same situation as the Biblical Israelites - God's people, surrounded by enemies. At a minimum, I think you would need...
  13. Explain the AH Quote

    A quote by the united nation general secretary adlai stevenson after the the un intervention in angola. The mess he describe was how these newly born country have such instability and corruption especially those left by spain and italy. The asian colonies in africa like the japanese seychelles...
  14. "Most Interesting Scenario To You" Redux Thread

    Kongo becoming a favoured group among the Europeans (think Rajputs under the Mughals) and conquering most of Central Africa while remaining uncolonized China's state philosophy is Mohism instead of Confucianism Iraqi industrialization (canals, textiles, literally sitting on a gigantic supply of...
  15. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    The OP also indicated that post ww2 developments could be taken advantage of, so I suppose a something along the lines of the MP5 firing an optimized cartridge, used by well trained soldiers who perhaps could be expected to deal with adjusting a sight for use beyond say 100 meters (perhaps often...
  16. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    1982 is going to be a hellish year for any Democrat south of the Mason-Dixon line... We'd probably get a Gingrich-like GOP leadership (Speaker of the House Guy Vander Jagt?) and so hyperpolarization gets accelerated by ten years or so.
  17. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Only everyone realises that that's a matter of resource allocation and priority not that every single possible U-boat that could ever be produced in Germany was being produced already, copper and lead are used in other areas than U-boats didn't say they were, but neither is my point based on...
  18. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    There is an argument to be made that Turkic invasions went the way they did because the Abbasids were recruiting Turks from central Asia for their military. Without that, it is entirely possible that the migrations take different directions (Europe, India, or possibly both). Without...
  19. The Forge of Weyland

    I'm not Gannt the Chartist, but Imperial Japan has to occupy French-Indochina before it gets anywhere near Malaya and Singapore, and in this timeline (Weyland's Forge) the French (especially if they have not gone Vichy, as in the Original Timeline) may well tell the Imperial Japanese where to go...
  20. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    No, I'm not talking about Heraclius. I'm talking about the period leading up to the Umayyad siege of Constantinople in 717. During this time the Byzantines were wracked with internal problems and their morale was reeling. In OTL Leo III forced the abdication of a weaker emperor and managed to...
