    Defeat of Bolkiah, a Philippines timeline
    Threadmarks: Magellan Survives

    Magellan would land in Limasawa in Leyte and celebrate the first mass in Leyte. Magellan would be able to Christianize and have the rulers of Sugbu, Leyte and Butuan swear fealty to the Spanish, Since Butuan had a large territory on Mindanao, the Spanish would be able to establish rule of a...
  2. What If...Scotland beat England in that Euro 2000 Play-Off?

    If Scotland qualify for a major championship they get knocked out in the first round. They have to play well against a decent team, get beaten by an embarrassing team then play fantastically and beat a good team but get knocked out on goal difference. Thems the rules

    Defeat of Bolkiah, a Philippines timeline

    The Children of Camelot

    Just added a quick explanation for the Claude-Charles betrothal thing, I'll go into more detail about it in the next update.
  5. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Just building the boats isn't enough, you need crews. And not everybody is submariner material - I know I'm not...
  6. WI: Carthago non delenda est

    But how not to have the destruction of Carthage? I honestly believe that as long as Carthage was focused on maritime trade and had an inclusive type of government, it would have been destroyed by Rome. The senatorial class could not stomach a democratic or light oligarchic form of government...
  7. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    ...though Sega is attempting to push the "action girl" thing with her and not trying to deliberately sexualize her like with certain other franchises (*cough* Lola Bunny *cough*). All awesome ideas! PM'ed you. Those are great ideas. In fact, I'm just going to say that there's a Disney Channel...
  8. The Pale Horse: The Northwest Montana Insurgency and its Aftermath (1987-2002)

    Interesting, so (some) heads did roll after all...a much greater response then My Lai in OTL, but considering that these are red-blooded Americans SATPO are massacring , I guess its to be expected. Looking forwards to seeing how the war will contribute to the collapse of the CSA.
  9. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Good table, easy to forget that Subs were by no means the only way stuff got sunk!
  10. WI: Japan never modernizes

    France's navy wasn't exactly something to sneeze at during this period either.
  11. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    As you yourself note by even entertaining the "Prussian solution" to "who is a nazi?" we may feel free to invoke Klaus Theweleit and delcare Prussian soldierliness to be inherently nazi in that it worked towards the fuhrer even prior to there being a fuhrer. Bibliography Klaus Theweleit _Male...
  12. The West is Punic - a collaborative Punic America TL

    Prologue It was 12th October 1492. Christopher Columbus, laid in bed in his cabin aboard his ship, Santa Maria. The sun has already risen several hours ago and all men except him were already up and working for some time. In his thoughts, his task of finding a shorter maritime route to India...
  13. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Well this is it for Calais, they are split on who to support with the enemies at the gates, shame if someone freed Bourchier causing even more trouble from the inside and making the defense more difficult. And when Calais fall, you can bet both kings will blame each other, it dosen't matter...
  14. WI: Japan never modernizes

    Was it really possible to avoid modernization? The political, economic and social system of Japan în the Shogunate period was starting to become cumbersome for all the actors involved in it: the nobles were impoverished and more and more dependent on the wealthy merchants for their existence...
  15. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Sounds like Manuel will be dealt a bad hand in the invasion (perhaps the Crusaders smash the Fatimid army and capture Cairo whilst the Romans are stuck reducing the coastal cities). Perhaps in that case, he'll still be in a position to influence who gets what if the Romans can't take the Lion's...

    Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Italy had several chances at forming a coherent state throughout the medieval and modern eras (the Canossa and Sforza dynasties, the Lombard League, the Medici-backed Italic League, and so on), but it blew them all, and got conquered as soon as new trade routes were discovered and the...
  17. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Having done some digging, the British Armed forces in 1972 were 371,400 strong. Of that, 175,850 were army personnel, not including reserves of 55,000 in the Regular Reserve, and a further 80,000 people in the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve. As mentioned above, 29 battalions with an...
  18. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Good update as usual. Also is Jackie pregnant with Patrick and are you going to cover that in the near future?
  19. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    forgot to include another obvious choice, they went thru various plans for the ships that became Sharnhorst-class, possibly they could have thrown up their hands and built carriers at that point? now my own view of that is probably inline with the consensus, but it might have looked a good...
