    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    If the choice is contentious enough then maybe a poll would suffice, but I'm definitely on board with an Italian Disneyland in Rome, although I do have to admit that since I didn't read the original American Magic, building the park there isn't going to feel like a copy for me.
  2. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    I was referring to sources that were actually written by the people in question, or at least directly record something that they said (in the vein of the Behistun inscription). Thus my comparison to the Edicts of Ashoka or the Cyrus Cylinder, and references to how we have quotes of Alexander and...
  3. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    I may be misremembering this, but in his memoirs I am fairly sure then UK Prime Minister John Major (at the very least) heavily hinted that an attack on troops or civilians using chemical or biological weapons would result in there not being a Baghdad or Basra within a few hours. That said...
  4. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    To be fair, Mr Bronson deserved it🤣 Actually, I think he had a bit part playing Hitler in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade....how appropriate!

    WI: Kennedy choses Al Gore Sr. as his running mate instead of LBJ?

    So, let's say Bobby manages to convince Jack not to make Johnson his running mate, and instead chose Senate Al Gore Sr of Tennessee instead? What changes?

    AHC: Make Charles VII Rescue Joan of Arc, Instead Of Letting Her Be Burned By The English.

    A French noblemen launched several campaigns to save her.
  7. WI Operation Ten-Go Successful?

    In April 1945 things were not going well for the Empire of Japan. The once formidable Imperial Japanese Navy had suffered an uninterrupted string of crushing defeats which had left the once mighty fleet a mere shadow of its former self with only a small handful of operational ships remaining as...
  8. WI: John C. Calhoun never abandons his early Federalist views.

    Maybe than he never becomes a foe of Jackson’s?
  9. AHC: State-owned enterprises more widely accepted in USA

    As was pointed out earlier, TVA has been profitable since the mid-70s. Anyway, you could say that about almost literally any piece of public infrastructure and doubly especially anything whatsoever having to do with rivers, given the amount of federal financial assistance that has been directed...
  10. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Italy of course has Rainbow Magicland's OTL location in Valmontone. This park was only built in 2006. However, EuroDisney was built there in the original American Magic.
  11. AHC: Make Charles VII Rescue Joan of Arc, Instead Of Letting Her Be Burned By The English.

    But another thing- did Charles ever send an army to save Joan? There is no evidence he ever did.
  12. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Are there any significant pockets of commie guerrillas in Korea?
  13. AHC: State-owned enterprises more widely accepted in USA

    I think Landmass Wave is referring to a drain in the financial sense, rather than a hydrological one.
  14. No Gas crisis, how big cars get?

    US is a special case. Europe and Japan did not build mass market cars that big - even big UK Fords of the time (Zodiac / Zephyr) were a metre shorter. And to be honest with smaller families who needs a car that big?
  15. Lascaris

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Lets note that the brown line is the 1914 border between Russia and Turkey, which the Soviets retained TTL. So any Soviet territorial demands against Turkey war or no war under any circumstances by default will be to the west of this In the previous war Britain was ready to concede...
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    Monaco has cheez?
  17. AHC: State-owned enterprises more widely accepted in USA

    How the hell am I supposed to know? I can only go off of public statements, I don't have a magic inside line to corporate accountants. That's, uh, not the point. The point is that, say, 30% of a 2% profit margin is less than 100% of a 4% profit margin. It literally does not matter how much the...
  18. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    I think you mean 1939
  19. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    Over the years I have read and watched a number of accounts (by individuals I believe are credible) that discussed the problems the 8mm Lebel cartridge presented for self loading fire arms and in particular machine guns. While I am inclined to agree those issues were able to be worked around...
