  1. Greek Style colonization by the Maya

    Greek colonization was caused due to overpopulation on marginal land. Greek colonies pre Alexander were usually funded by individual city states. Although the Maya do have city states, they lack naval tradition and have the ability to expand inward in central America. So to summarize, Mayan...

    AHC/WI: Make South Vietnam win the Vietnam War with a POD after 1968

    if no supplies are getting into the North, than there is nothing to be sent south by any method
  3. Greek Style colonization by the Maya

    To have a Greek style colonisation by the Maya, you need to give the Maya a good level of seafaring technology. Even if the Arawaks and the Caraibs must have some seafaring technology, to established colonies required galley style ships.
  4. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    My own take on reverse TNO Komi leaders: Suslov - After seeing the failures of the communist system, he became a right-wing democrat who wants to establish a healthy mulitiparty democratic system (ConDem) Bukharina - She became disillusioned with her father's policies and became a...

    Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    The basic ideas seams fine, but what about the Druze state, why is the Alewite one so big, what about the other Syrian minorities (escpecially large Kurdish region in the north and other minorities liek Levantines, Ismailis and other). I assume their states would be to small to exist on their...
  7. Sitting Bull joins the Ghost Dance movement, inspiring widespread Indian resistance to US expansion

    A successful Ghost Dance movement will probably end similarly to the Xhosa cattle killings. The Lakota, and whatever other groups American Indian groups join the Ghost Dance movement in this AH, are unfortunately only going to end up making things worse for their people.

    I'm just following what the author stated (Chapter 78 - Panic): My guess is with all the confusion and how rapid the 2nd American Civil War is ongoing, the Democratic American Republic was not able to come up with a design for a roundel. It's similar to the 1989 Philippine Coup attempt where...

    Hang gliders in combat

    Navigation is a problem, and gliders aren't cheap, and are limited in the amount of gear carried. Next proble, using higher altitude to launch, or glider tugs, or even ground slingshot/catapult to get them into the air Probably easier using ground infiltration
  11. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    I think that even if there is a Channel Dash, the result is likely to be a lot worse for the KM. Maritime Command seem to have better equipment and more importantly, better integration with the Admiralty. One quibble with the content: Are there multiple new bomb sights being developed, or is...
  12. 1923 Turkish population exchanges: ATLs possible

    It's kind of peculiar that the Bulgarians protected their own Jews but handed over the Jews in Bulgarian-occupied Greece OTL. I imagine some chunk of the Jews thrown out of Greece might just go to Palestine rather than stay in Turkey. Turkish Jews (and Greek Jews) who have lives and roots and...
  13. A (somewhat) Parliamentary America

    Article I of the Constitution requires bicameralism (passage by the House and Senate) and Presentment (approval by the president) to pass legislation in the United States. But Article I also allows the two Chambers to come up with their own rules and procedures. In the early 20th Century there...
  14. Greek Style colonization by the Maya

    Greece does have marginal land as well (it is very hilly, after all), but the Greeks had more options to take advantage of that (like sheep).

    Greek Style colonization by the Maya

    Would this work with maya agriculture? Wasn't it reliant on intensive aqueducts and stone working, whereas the greeks had more workable soil in of itself ?

    Generally speaking, you would want to keep the roundel simple. If you need to actually parse the letters on a plane flying by, it might be a tad too complex. So maybe instead of the "DARAF" lettering, have a simple red geometrical item like a star, diamond or stripe.
  20. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    It would likely be far higher than 2k people coming over the border, from memory there was close to that from just the start of the Troubles alone, I’d expect a lot more movement from nationalists if unionists took this course. Of course the reality is in relatively short order NI is going to...
