  1. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Aye lad! It were! It was called Brian the Brain. The last time I saw it was when it had a Saturday afternoon repeat on BBC2 in the 1990s. It was one of the many episodes where they encountered the survivors of a lost Earth mission. The mission's commander made Brian in his spare time. Brian...

    AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    Wanting to hit the fuel oil for the ships. So would it be possible to hit the diesel tanks?
  3. Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.

    Yep. It's a quick name I came up with for a trend that we'll be seeing the future of Russia (and you're right it's awful).
  4. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Germany was hardly an impoverished Central European country. It was the largest industrial economy in Europe, and the second in the world, with the largest population besides the Soviet Union, in Europe. It was one of the most technological advanced countries in the world, with one of the most...
  5. Maximum Population of Greenland?

    What could be the maximum population of Greenland, and what circumstances would get them there? Surviving Norse Colonies? Purchase/seizure by the US /Britain/whoever? Bonus points if you manage to surpass 200k, even more if you manage to surpass Iceland.

    Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    This argument, although it may be relevant, has its limits. To illustrate my point, you can take an interest in Vichy France: french politicians from the Right (and also from the Left) who accept and organize the looting of the entire country for Germany by ideology: "They are not French, but at...
  7. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    you can hit them, just opening them up will be bad if they are heated up and it flows out. The problem is if its not heated you don't do much damage other than make holes that have to be patched up. Ideally you can identify the AVGAS, diesel, and MOGAS tanks to hit. Hitting them hurts...

  9. No disaster in Malaya, no invasion of Burma; how long does India remains in Britain's sphere?

    Map Thread XX

    I've known this technique for years (which is also valid on Paint). If I had known I would have shared it sooner. We should make a thread that brings together this kind of manipulation to help those who are new to cartography.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    It’s quite alright, no hostility intended or given. It‘s just that sometimes initial ideas might seem great but the practicalities/reality don’t match up when it comes to putting those ideas down on paper. Everything is further compounded by the availability - or lack thereof- of good (and...
  12. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    It could also very well work out the way you describe here.

    So the tanks are a no go
  14. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    Paul Elliott and the police officer, Mrs Margaret Stephenson, arrived at his house. It was a four bedroom terrace, which he rented. He went inside, followed by Mrs Stephenson. Paul introduced her and his wife, Emily, to each other. Emily Elliott was 46 years and was a seamstress...

    Dutch retain Taiwan

    Another possibility is Qing ceding back Taiwan to the Dutch.
  16. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    no, you need to melt the Bunker C a bit to ignite it. It normally has a consistency of asphalt unless you heat it up and will not ignite unless you melt it. Most storage uses steam lines in the tanks, on board ship, locomotive, or furnace use, to heat it enough to even get it to flow in the...

    'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    .30 Remington was already on the lighter end of rifle cartridges when it was invented in 1906. Muzzle energy is about 2 kilojoules. I don’t know how much powders improved between 1906 in the 1930s, so I don’t know how much the case could be shortened without losing performance. My estimation for...
  18. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Madeleine de la Tour is a low level foreign match, is an heiress and being first cousin and sister-in-law of Albany would help with relations with Scotland

    Threadmarks: Interlude - The wedding strategies of the York Kings

    Edward IV during his reign had demonstrated an unusual talent in matchmaking: sure his own marriage had been a love match, but is not impossible who marrying the young and stunning Lancastrian widow had been also a deliberate act of rebellion against the chains to Warwick was likely trying to...
