    WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    Sequel:Charles VI gets deposed by his cousin in 1399 instead of Richard II
  2. WI: Petain Joined The Resistance With De Gaulle?

    Roosevelt was usually a pretty good judge of people. Makes his total misread of Stalin all the more odd.

    Hearts of Iron IV "Fictionalization."

    Honestly part of the reason I decided to make this thread was while I have a lot of ideas for Big Countries, the minor countries are still a bit blank. I'd love to draw from both fictional stand ins, and each country's fiction and mythology. Though I suppose I could throw out a few ideas. Here's...
  4. Down in Dixie: CSA Victory TL

    1877 Stephens would appoint four territorial governors for the newly acquired Confederate territories of Sonora, Chihuahua, Baja, and Durango. However, raids would occur in the territories by banditos. Stephens would send volunteers and the Texas Rangers in the territories to quell the raids...
  5. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Behehave makes an enormous amount of difference, both regarding fighter cover and especially long range air ASW Patrol. With long range air out of Berehaven (the Wellington is a near ideal choice here, BTW) Coastal Command can put aircraft over pretty much every inch of water above 52° N using...

    WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    Is that not just the same thing? I know that is disputed today, but did everyone just accept the exclusion is fact back then?
  7. AHC/WI: Make South Vietnam win the Vietnam War with a POD after 1968

    I agree with your points. I think South Vietnam was not in a hopeless situation in 1950s or 1960s. Its incompetency played a major role in its collapse.
  8. WI: Sega Saturn with full backward compatibility

    Sega Saturn was originally developed with backward compatibility with his predecessor, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. That's the main reason why the console have cartridge set and Yamaha YMF292 as sound chip. If succesfull, it would let Sega to use quite imprresive SG's library of games as starting...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles
    Threadmarks: Part 41

    Geneva, September 11, 1935 Italian troops under general De Bono had been advancing into Ethiopia for the past four days with very little resistance as the Ethiopians had decided to trade space for time before the League of Nations could come to session declaring Italy the aggressor. Imposing...

    Is civilizational centrism inevitable?

    Are you sure about that? Han/Manchu/Mongolian Chinese Supremacy has historically been rampant in China. Anyway the squabbling about Europe and China is pointless, most populations in some way have been arrogant and supremacist.

    The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    I always imagined Libertarian Socialism as in a hypothetical middle ground, somewhere in between more moderate ideologies like Social Democracy, and more extreme ideologies like Anarcho-Communism.
  12. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    This leads to the question of building more larger models than the Type VII. Since slipways are limited pack more capability into what you are building? Too regularly

    Explain the AH Quote

    A tagline from the panned 2019 Czech comedy-satire film Cenzurováno, which saw an aspiring 20-something comedian struggling to maintain his livelihood finally see success, only to become a victim of cancel culture when he makes a joke about the refugee crisis during one of his televised...

    WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    Maybe actual Salic rather than French Agnatic Primogeniture 😋 Yeah, it was discussed during Henry VI's reign but that still left York top because of the Beaufort's exclusion by Henry IV.

    WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    Henry IV never officially confirmed Salic law, he just emphasised him being E3's male heir, though here Salic Law is nearly guaranteed to be introduced.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I'm interesting to see where both of their career paths are going to lead ITTL. The Henson family is already so fascinating with how much they're fraying as a result of Henson working for Disney: Lisa as a producer, Brian as an imagineer, John as a social worker, and now Heather as an animator...
  17. AshM vs Dual purpose weapons

    Using the Standard or Shtorm missile against ships represents a big asset. Missile is very fast (doh) making interception problematic, warhead is big enough to harm anything that Exocet can harm, there is a lot of missiles at the ready, semi-active guidance means than man in the loop can...
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    While the talk of how Britain will (probably) be able to hold Singapore ITTL is rather good it is a fair way off yet. We have the small matter of Britain having to kick the Axis out of North Africa in time and while I think this is highly likely there is an elephant in the room in this...
  19. WI Walther Model is given command before Bagration

    Kesslerings best bet is to prepare the north Apennines defense earlier and withdraw from S of Rome earlier. Likely. It does stuff the ideas about the uber Panzer Reserve striking down the impudent Allies inland from the beaches. Rommel probably gets to line everything up in the sand dunes 7...
  20. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    In a situation like this, I imagine Derry is going to be “on fire” to put it mildly, interesting to see the Ulster units reaction (or their awareness of this action), will they obey the PM or Stormont...? I wonder if the Catholic/Nationalist border areas might try joining the Republic in a UDI...
