  1. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    Yep, some Italian seaports were particularly active in that regard: Venice, Livorno, Genoa I am fairly sure about, but Naples too had some slavery. Malta was a center of this Mediterranean slave trade in the Early modern period. While I do not know a lot about this, I am under the impression...

    AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    Can Skuas dive bomb at night? Or will it be a level bombing attack like Fuchida's Kates at Pearl?

    Defeated Austria inside German Empire: Kingdom or Archduchy?

    Maybe it could be that the Kingdom of Austria with subdivisions like the Prussian Provinces. These subdivisions in turn could be called Archduchies.

    Oh definitely, he has the capability. ;) Loool Most definitely
  6. Defeated Austria inside German Empire: Kingdom or Archduchy?

    Austria (or whatever name it gets) would definitely be a kingdom. It not being one would strongly clash with the kingdoms that still exist. After all, no matter how it's cut up, it will still be larger and more important than Saxony for instance. However, Austria could also see itself split up...

    ES1702's Wikibox & Graphics Thread

    I dont believe Bottomley will let Major step down at the next election on risk of losing his seat
  8. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    That's about it - the first series was definitely superior and the way to go. There was potential there, and the atmosphere fits perfectly to the mid/late 70s. Also, sets, models and effects were quite good. The Eagles are still my favorite spacecrafts. It should be mentioned that S1999 was...
  9. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    This is an interesting idea! Perhaps something for Kennedy's re-election I'll make an update dedicated to this in a future update, if you like.
  10. Defeated Austria inside German Empire: Kingdom or Archduchy?

    After all, Bavaria and Saxony themselves had only been kingdoms since 1803.
  11. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    ...so instead they'd probably just stay quiet on it. Still, a coffee table photo book for RAT HAX undoubtedly shows up for sale at Barnes & Noble. *EDIT* I'll probably have some comments in a section somewhere. Or we can play "Hack that Rat" and anyone can describe the RAT HACK they'd have done.
  12. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    Shakespeare mentions them in The Merchant of Venice. Sheylock at one point reminds the Venetioans that "Yo have among you many a purchas'd slave."
  13. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    If Reader had got his way earlier, and built the 35cm, as counters to Dunkerque, instead of the start, stop, start S&T, the world would be very different. No orders for 280mm & 150mm turrets etc that hamstringed S&T. Yes 35cm would delay construction (18-24 maths), but 6-12 was last on S&T...
  14. AHC: East Asian Social Democracy

    I think you might need measurements before and after to really have a good reason to favour either course and any required survey measurement data is lacking (and always will be, short a time machine). It seems more theoretically plausible to me that the political end is downstream of the...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Alright, alright! No need to get hostile! If you find this idea entirely unfeasible to work on, I'll take your word for it! I guess I was setting my expectations too high: for that, I apologize.
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    This sortie was OTL. Its the same ships - no drivers to really change that - but the aim is a bit different. The RN disposition will be different from OTL, as they are looking at a different operation rather than evacuating Narvik
  17. The Forge of Weyland

    great chapter This sounds like a damned death ride if I ever heard one home fleet and the French Navy will hunt them down like rabbits. This whole thing reeks of desperation and very poor consideration.

    Poor Henry, sometimes I really feel sorry for him, well until I remember who he is the cause of his greatest problems: if he had arranged some accident for Somerset or at least used his head and asked York’s help for unmasking Somerset... He knew who Somerset was a snake but had continued to...
