  1. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    From a military perspective it might have been a great idea to invade Saudi. However, Saddam was not looking at purely military objectives. It was all about politics. Invading Kuwait (with tacit approval by US ambassador - thank you!) could be explained away. It was not a major threat and...
  2. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    Nukes are next to impossible, but chemical weapons are definitely possible.
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Russia maybe, but I think it's unlikely they've go for Syria or Iraq. Malta would make Crete look like a cake-walk, and Cyprus is too far out to be supportable.
  4. WIP Map Thread

    Behold, my newest project: the United States of the World. Sort of a reboot of the World America project I worked on a while back (yes I borrowed a lot of borders). Currently done the 205 states and 3 territories of the New World.

    The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    The Caesarii are IIRC having their power base in Italy, so there's that to consider.
  6. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    But isn't that based on the Sea Control Ship design, rather than a Spruance?

    The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    Guess Theodosian's Walls won't have the reputation ITTL they do IOTL in being practically impregnatable with them utterly failing in their first actual test. One wonders how the hell Rhomania survives Constantinople falling. Though then again, Rhomania survived the Fourth Crusade, and it's in...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Syria and Iraq seems like a stretch and would throw those troops out on a massive limb that would easily get cut off.

    The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    Yes, he is the last of the Thalassans. But to be fair, he's going to be handed a situation that almost no one could have salvaged.
  11. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    WMDs were a convenient excuse, nothing more. Iraq after 1991 was a shambles and all their programmes were ended. Their problem was they didn't keep all the paperwork up to the standard, an impossible standard, demanded by the US Government.
  12. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    As a Hong Konger who have seen some of my fellow HKers having this sense of extreme Anglophile as a reaction to their rejection of Mainland China, ignoring the fact that Hong Kong came under British rule in the first place under... Shall we say, highly questionable circumstances, or that there...

    The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    If he was Nikephorus the Last, guess his reign being such a disaster was because of how little connection he had with reality.
  14. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    I image that unless they have a no-shit functional bomb, the scenario plays out much like it did in OTL. Anything that could be legitimately dangerous either gets buried or shipped across the border into Syria the moment the big-wigs in the Baath party realize the jig is up. Lots of...

    Anglo-Chinese invasion of Tibet during World War 2?

    A land route through Tibet to China, which is essentially what you're proposing would give access to India. That land route from India, through Nepal and Tibet, to China, is a little problematic in how much in the way of supplies can be carried along that route. I am given to understand that...
  16. AHC/WI: Make South Vietnam win the Vietnam War with a POD after 1968

    by 1970 most supplies for the North came from the fUSSR and the Warsaw Pact, via ship through Haiphong. China had decreased as a supply source with the advent of the Cultural Revolution when supply trains from the fUSSR were attacked and ransacked in China. So, the ability of the Chinese to...

    Threadmarks: Part 85: Romanos the Conqueror

    Part LXXXV: Romanos the Conqueror Before we begin, I will note that the end of the Turkic war is typically where historians cease to refer to Romanos as the Golden Prince, the nickname he was given in the chronicles at this point, and refer to him as Romanos III from here on out. I will be...

    The Bleeding Edge Chapter 3: "More Boosters" The Ares program was to bring about many innovations in the spaceflight industry, one of these was the construction of the most powerful launch vehicle in the world, the Saturn IX. The launcher was criticised at first for merely being a Saturn V moon...
  19. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Okay. Well, that's a bust. I'm not sure if Disney would want a show from The Jim Henson Company on their new network.
