  1. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    I'll take it that you're skeptical of religion?
  2. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    What was the answer?
  3. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Threathening South France with what? MechaGodzilla? Because short of that there is no way that the A-h even with the help of all the troops used by Germany during the OTL Spring offensive will breack the alpine line...yes the damned terrain is that horrible for the offensive, even more than the...
  4. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    I highly doubt any nukes would fly. OTL, nuclear weapons were strongly rejected because of the nuclear taboo, and chemical weapons are not going to save or even help the Iraqi military situation. The Coalition does not need nuclear weapons to utterly demolish the Iraqi military (as shown OTL)...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    The US is a representative democracy. The Republic Democracy comparison isn't mutually exclusive.
  6. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    The first box is from @Oppo's FDR as Lula list on his test thread. The second is an original from a no Southern strategy timeline I was kicking around.
  7. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    This caused no end of arguments in the early church. This is one reason why the First Council of Nicaea was held.
  8. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Looking after the war, I would be very interested to see what happens to the South culturally. Paraguay-scale death, the absence of a Lost Cause, and the total destruction of the planter class will have its effects. What would be really interesting is what the postwar generation, better...
  9. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    Amphetamines. Hitler was high as hell on meth 24'7.
  10. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Many good points, which also give a rather grim picture since England was in a politically dicey situation during the entirety of the 1500s
  11. The Forge of Weyland

    Almost........... usual Albion wriggle room but not as much as say Czechoslovakia suffered from but less than Poland received.
  12. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    Yes, fragments, for one of the most important people in the world at the time. What do you think is going to survive from some rabble-rousing Jewish carpenter? Again, bits and pieces from an incredibly famous and renowned conqueror. A ton of kings and rulers didn't even get that much, let alone...
  13. AH Cultural Descriptions

    Autobiography of Buzz Armstrong - worlds most successful mercenary astronaut. Would ride any rocket - for a price. “No need for monke” he’d say before strapping in to the latest untested candlestick. Rumor has it the first manned SpaceX Starship will be named after him A Tale of Three Cities
  14. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    Back when I was in grad school, I could lift over my head nearly twice what an average person could. But there were people I knew at the gym who could do twice that. And they knew of people who could do half again what they could. The range of human charisma is at least that much. Hitler was...
  15. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    Even today knowing what we know and even if you don't speak German you can tell that he was a mesmerizing and inciting speaker. While I hate to use the word "sincere" about him you could tell he truly believed what he said. There was also a mass psychology at effect, the crowd excited one...
  16. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    That's like saying "the UK isn't a democracy, it's a monarchy". Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
  17. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    Whatever you say
  18. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    I don't know. My understanding is that the shape 8mm Lebel suboptimal for use in self loading firearms. I seem to recall seeing a comment from a person more knowledgeable than myself that the rimmed .303 was much more suitable in that regards than the 8mm Lebel.
  19. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    You seem like the sort of person worth engaging with.
  20. The Forge of Weyland

    Wasn't Greece guaranteed by Chamberlain in the late 1930's? If so, Greece is off-limits unless Mussolini wants a war...
