  1. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL
    Threadmarks: June-July 45: Cracks in alliances

    June-July 45: Cracks in alliances After the losses in southern Germany, Patton was relieved from command and replaced with the more pliable Mark Clark. This would prove a most disastrous move. Clark was indecisive, inept, and generally untalented. It took him nearly a week to start issuing...
  2. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    That's true, but remember states don't necessarily fall overnight. The decay of the R.U./NUSA may have already begun but the effects of which won't necessarily become evident until decades pass when it all piles up and soon the edifice that is the Fascist Sphere can't hold it up anymore and...
  3. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Well Adolph did several things to make it very easy for FDR to get into the war including declaring war on the United States. By 1941 isolation was lessening in the US as more people came to realize Germany and Japan were real threats. Public opinion polls showed the populace were ahead of...
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Does it click-clack like a machine gun?

    WI: Larry Weiss offers "Rhinestone Cowboy" to Johnny Cash?

    Agreed. Having trouble seeing this one... Glen Campbell was someone who was already "crossover"... he had been a session musician who played on a vast array of pop tunes in the '60's, and had made a name for himself partly with Jimmy Webb songs... "Rhinestone Cowboy" was his kind of song...

    Chronicle of the Kings of Britain: A New Tenth Century

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    I know mate, but the images I had to work with were just terrible. If anyone has something to work on I am more than happy to give it a go. Having said that, it will more than likely turn out looking like an Object 279 with an Armata turret...
  8. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Stilwell seems to have been a capable commander of regular ground troops, at least up to corps level. You just didn't want him having anything to do with relations with foreign powers or foreign armies. Slim, of course, was first rate all around.

    Third Bard's the Charm: A High Byzantine TL

    This is an idea I came up with this morning. It won't be replacing The Undying Empire, but it's something I'll be working on for the next bit and probably still after TUE comes back from hiatus. First update should be in a couple of hours, and the PoD is in 1026.
  10. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    Considering the “Europe first” policy, the Allies would remain focused on defeating Germany first and foremost. With a POD in 1943 the Germans could delay defeat until late 1945, but I don’t see Nazi Germany surviving into 1946 no matter what the Germans do.
  11. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Don't forget that the IRA/PROVO/et al are no friends of the Republic either, the Republic may well want to avoid tying themselves openly with the IRA if NI goes into a utter Sectarian bloodbath. There's no reason why Dublin can't legitimately ask for equipment and support in this situation.
  12. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    Tico's had to get creative to find the 200 tons to fit the VLS in with the TOTS program, they don't have the weight to spare at least in the later marks The issue at least with the OTL Burke is that they have space for the gun, but it blocks the bridge view too much

    DBWI: Kurt Cobain Escapes the Rehab Center?

    "We'll Stick Around", the song which introduced everyone to Dave Grohl as more than just the drummer. Not exactly a popular choice, I know, but I love it. It wasn't a single as Kurt didn't want to hear it on the radio all the time since it was clearly about Courtney Love. It's not perfect...

    How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    I can't see them surviving much into 1946. Nuclear weapons aren't going to win the war in and of themselves, but they likely make it much harder for the regime to maintain control.
  15. DBQ: Why the fuck is the Nahua majority religion Orthodox Christian?

    No, OCA is the "American Orthodox Church." All the others are under the jurisdiction of an autocephalys church, like Russia, Bulgaria, Constantinople, etc. The world's churches don't recognize the OCA and consider them part of the Russian Church.
  16. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    Tico's are Spruance's, just a lot more aluminum. The DX program that spawned the Spruance's had space, weight, and strength provisions for all DDs to carry the Mk 71 and its 600 round magazine. See the NavWeaps page

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I didn’t say perfect, but rather that it was fine. The point was that Howard the Duck’s problems were in the script (and acting), not the choice to go live action. An animated Howard the Duck with the same or similar script would have been just as bad.
  18. Explain the AH Quote

    From the 1973 novel-turned 80's TV series Chessboard. Both tell the story of Franco Vaillancourt, a schemer who wants to become leader of France. "So many people of the Asian continent hold that while they were developing great civilisations of culture and art, europeans were violent thugs and...
  19. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    I actually think 250K is a bit small, especially without a OTL eastern front. When the Germans are not simply withdrawing or surrendering people are going to fight and casualties will inevitably result.
