  1. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I posted the picture on the discord, and @CosmicAsh wanted to canonize it, so I did a quick writeup. And for context: Ash said that during the Anglo-American war of the 1850s, Hamilton DC was ransacked and burned to the ground by British troops. They ransacked huge parts of America's...

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Well, I am conflicted on how to judge this. This post is so awful and so awesome at the same time. I love it.
  3. AHC: early 1900s anarchists notice that American mobsters often seen as Robin Hood figures — and go this route?

    This is Michael Corleone walking with his wife Kay. He says that in five years, the Corleone family will be completely legitimate. In a much later scene, I think when he and Kay are dancing at a wedding at the end of Godfather II, Kay says that, fifteen years ago, you told me in five years the...
  4. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    Jesus isn't born in 4 B.C., What religion(s) are anatolia and arabia for the next millennium? Is it Roman polytheism, one of the cults (probably Mithraism or Cybele), Zoroastrianism, or even Buddhism? And when the Turks start invading what religion do they choose to join in the absence of Islam?
  5. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    @David T, haven't you posted in the past about the possibility that Eisenhower would have been willing to run for president as a Democrat if Taft had been the GOP nominee in 1948?

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    @FossilDS is this authorised by CosmicAsh or speculation?

    WI Operation Ten-Go Successful?

    I'm not sure if I should be more concerned that @CalBear used large, colored font for the first time I can remember directly at me or that the last normal sentence was "Napalm."
  8. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I think what stood out to me was Kepler as the weakest link. ESA successfully building a lifeboat capsule and getting it flying seemed very fast for how little institutional experience those guys have at this point. IRL they barely finished design studies for Hermes, let alone fabricate anything...
  9. WI Operation Ten-Go Successful?

    Not as difficult to put out of action as may be imagined. Once it is stuck in place exactly how much of the main and secondary batteries would actually be of use is an open question, one that depends on exactly the angle the ship comes to rest. If she is laid up bow in 5° off the perpendicular...
  10. AHC Alternate or Surviving Languages

    Baltic English Area: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Prussia Speakers: ,6 mln loanwords: 5% Slavic, 10% Low German, 2% Scandinavian Language spoken by descendants of Anglo Saxons who migrated to Prussia after the battle of Hastings. They founded the Kingdom of East Mercia and christianized the...
  11. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    You'd be surprised. This is what the Arctic bastion encompassed: Note where the bastion defense line itself is: in Norwegian waters outside of the range of most of the USSR's land-based fighters. And in any case, history has shown multiple times that the most efficient way to run fighter...

    Threadmarks: Paradoxical Liberty: The British Museum (By FossilDS)

    Join museum curator and Americana expert Andrea Kelly on a tour of the newly-renovated American wing of the British Museum, showcasing the fascinating and troubled history of the American Republic. In this part, we will walk through the foundations of the country, told through objects...
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I was also taken aback by this revelation, and seeing Jim Henson come back to PBS after decades of leaving Sesame Street behind, even if he won't be helping as much as he did for that show, would be relatively newsworthy in my book.
  14. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    While we are on the topic, how's Matt Groening doing ITTL. I know that @CosmicAsh doesn't like doing pop culture stuff, but here's the basics. He was born in Portland, OR, and wrote the underground comic Life in Hell before creating The Simpsons and Futurama. Does every country look like they...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I just watched the one on Taboritsky’s Russia. Now this is cool.
  17. Germany goes East in 1914 - French Munitions Production?

    @marathag I think you read those graphics wrong. There is only one point per year, so if 1914 is low, 1913 is the peak. @Julian Not to forget that Lorraine Iron mines and steel production are really close to the pre-war border, less than 20 km, for both sides. Those sites will be fought over...
  18. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    Soviets do not need a credible naval fighter To what end ? They are hopelessly outnumbered in naval aircraft if they are planning true blue water operations and most of their naval operations should be within reach of shore based fighters

    AHC: 8 Wives for Henry VIII of England

    That's a good point! If he offs the two like he did with Anne and Catherine he could easily get that type of reputation, especially since Jane and Catherine also died. That could make getting the eight wife tricky.
  20. Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    Since we've now reached the current season. How are you going to continue posting in the coming seasons? Will there be updates after every matchday or are you going to wait until every round has finished?
