    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    About Korea I think that would seem probable that the next years/decades would be spent in a deep national rebuilding/pacification process, thus seems probably that would put their focus inward and except if forced otherwise would take a nearly isolationist stance in foreign affairs... Also, I...
  2. The Forge of Weyland

    Hi Gannt, I'll clearly defer to you as I've read your other posts and am consistently amazed by the depth of your knowledge. However, I'm hopeful you can elaborate on the bolded statement. In my limited understanding of Singapore is that it was the lack of adequate weapons (and training with...

    DBWI: Michael Eisner never becomes President of the United States?

    Eisner's entire presidency was just complete bonkers, pun intented and not. I mean, The Disney Scouts? Being funded by the Walt Disney Company WHILE Eisner was in the White House? You could've called it a 21st Century Hitler Youth after 9/11 for all things.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Something of a surprise to see this on the finished thread before getting anything here. But I have to say nice work.
  5. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    I think that if an Abadan Crisis were to happen the US would be more sympathetic with the Iranians TTL. The US did agree to 50-50 deal on profit sharing from the Arabian Oil Company that the British tried resisting with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company prior to nationalisation becoming popular in...
  6. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Not risk management, pricing. The whole point is that they got the PRICES wrong. Is there some sort of magic that governments have that get the pricing right through the entire economy? Was the Soviet planning commission so wonderful that they could get every price right in an entire economy...
  7. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    BNC, that was an absolutely eye opening post. After so many years of "Dugout Doug" bashing here, this whole TL has been very refreshing. Well done on the 21' Turtledoves!
  8. DBWI: Michael Eisner never becomes President of the United States?

    No 'Mickey Cabinet' for one. Granted, *no one* loke Bob Iger as a pick for Secretary of the Treasury, but damned if he didn't keep the rocky economy of pre-and-post 09/11 on track. Bob Chapek as secretary of commerce put someone in office who understood where E-commerce was going and what...

    Viability of a "Boghammar Swarm" in WWII?

    The WWII boats? Nothing. As I mentioned, they did, and worked reasonably well in those configurations. I'm asking if the period MLRSs could be a useful substitute.
  10. WI/AHC: Independent European Colonization

    What if religious military groups were given endowments in the new world from the Pope (with Iberian approval). These organizations would be tasked with protecting priests preaching Catholicism. Contact with mesoamerica quickly leads to the Pope calling a crusade against the Aztecs. Maybe the...

    Alternate 'Overlord' US Forces are swapped with British & Commonwealth, what's the consequences?

    Inspired by my thread "Alternate Battle of Midway' RN instead of USN' What if US Forces are swapped with British & Commonwealth Forces at D - Day, so each force does what the opposite did and face as in OTL?? What are the probable consequences with the alternate dispositions? How different...
  12. What happened if indonesia become a monarchy?

    The argument against Hamengkubuwono IX being king would be that in 1945, he doesn’t have the credibility that he has for supporting the Republic and allowing it to use Yogyakarta as capital between 1945 and 1949. He would get support in Yogya but unless the King of Indonesia is a symbolic office...
  13. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    I was just wondering, if oil-based transportation is an issue, would steel production be an issue? on hinsight, I do not think so... steel production in Meiji Japan, for railways in India and other colonies seem to do just fine before petroluem become big in the 20th century. It is just that I...
  14. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Yes, the failures of Wall Street in risk management are clear evidence against a planned economy. I'm honestly not sure what you even think you are arguing at this point.

  16. Viability of a "Boghammar Swarm" in WWII?

    What prevents them from carrying 2-4 torpedoes instead of rockets?
  17. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Serbia will see the results of Bulgarian occupation/cleansing/(worse) and be glad they are on the other side of the border. Refugees will amass and, of notnspread throughout the Empire, will cause trouble and irredentism in their half/third of former Serbia.
  18. AHC: State-owned enterprises more widely accepted in USA

    For my scenario, I suppose in an ATL, that by federal law, every state government or any municipality with local government is made to set up a retail bank, and the cause for such a federal law would be widespread collapse in the banking sector in the private-sector.

    Viability of a "Boghammar Swarm" in WWII?

    So the IRGC's naval forces operate a large number of speed boats (often colloquially called Boghammars in reference to the Swedish company that built some of them for Iran in the 80s). These are generally quite small, generally weighing in at less than ten tonnes displacement, powered by...

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

    How does Mississippi have so many electoral votes? Also, you screwed up the color key in the Senate and House maps (and there is a reference to a rectangular inset that isn't there). Otherwise, these maps look really cool. You should totally post them in the maps thread.
