  1. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Let's not forget Venice and Rome.
  2. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    As I recall the USN was playing around with new High Capacity shells and also 13.4 " and 11" sabots rounds for the guns of the Iowas in the 80s and very early 90s. The few shots of the high capacity shells fired in testing from both Dahlgren and the USS Iowa reached out to a darn impressive...
  3. Democrat victory in 1868 if Lincoln lived?

    Remember that a lot of Republicans agreed with him then who were later converted to more radical pollcies by the South's intransigence (electing unapologetic Confederates to office, anti-Black and anti-Unionist violence, the Black Codes, etc.) --as Lincoln himself might well be. If moderate...
  4. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    "When Two Men in Business Always Agree, One of Them Is Unnecessary" has been variously attributed to William Wrigley, Ezra Pound and Henry Ford. Whoever said it was right.

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    The one thing I would say about the British army is they do not have a reputation of being shit scared of being killed. If they are confined to barracks, I think a lack of clear orders and defined objective would be a more plausible reason. Not wanting to escalate the conflict into a direct...
  6. Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    United Ireland is always a brave thing to put on a Political Map. Indonesia has also annexed Papua New Guinea (or perhaps vice versa?) That said by not showing the Falklands at all they have at least avoided any controversy in the South Atlantic.

    East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Agreed, although without the war as an excuse to put implementation on indefinite hiatus, at least the Home Rule bill will (probably) actually come into effect. That'll ease tensions in Ireland a fair share, or at least make the situation in Ulster an 'Irish Problem London' MPs won't have to...
  8. WI: HHGregg acquired

    Uh... No one, outside of their loyal customers (who were, apparently, rather thin on the ground toward the end of the road) really notices? Fry's Electronics, which had been a MAJOR player in the same sector (virtually the same gross revenue), with stores across the West and a pretty...

  10. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    That‘s a lot of territorial changes in South America. I‘m especially curious how much land Brazil has lost; some kind of map would be helpful. Also, what‘s the list of countries that are members of the Latin Pact at this point? It seems I missed the fact that it has spread to Latin America.
  11. Map Thread XX

    Two maps from my timeline, If You Can Keep It (link in my sig)'s latest update. The historical region of Venezuela, as divided today, as well as the first Colombian civil war, La Cosiata. I'm honestly really proud of how it turned out.
  12. Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    As always I love a good Approx. scale. In the absence of anything else we are forced to assume it is 1m to 179m, which would mean this map is about the size of Argentina. A shame then that so many little details got missed off, surely they had the space?

    AS A Major-General, Harry Tuzo was not considered Commander-in- Chief material, but luck, the vital ingredient for success, played an important part in his career... .following the declaration of UDI in 1972 and the reticence of the Heath Government to send the troops out to deal with the...
  14. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    The War Scare of 1907 was the first really public take on the subject. In real terms it was a diplomatic dispute fueled by Japanese perceptions the Portsmouth Treaty had screwed them. No chance of war, but it was a slow week for the news papers & they ran with it. The advent of the...

    Apart from the projection, and bits of eastern Europe, this isn't so bad.
  16. If You Can Keep It: A Revolutionary Timeline
    Threadmarks: Chapter XVI - September Nights and Long Knives

    The Rebel State, as it is known, has long been a thorn in the side to Colombian governance. The first time Venezuela appeared particularly rebellious was during La Cosiata. Valencia, Venezuela, had long been a thorn in the side to most revolutionary rulers. The conservative, Catholic Valencian...

    Worse, they're ALSO driving out large amounts of citizens, IE, taxpayers, who are also taking their wealth, with what's left, usually houses and such, being torched..... The poor sod who gets to be their Treasury Minister is gonna go Librarian-poo when he sees the books.
