  1. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    ...plausible it is, but I've wanted to do a TL where the JSP survives for a while and thought it'd be fun to try and work it in with the China TL. * Japan’s postwar political history is a fairly straightforward one to recount. In the early days, the country, still in the aftershocks of World...
  2. AHC: Keep Europe as fragmented as possible

    No French Revolution, potentially no Westphalian order....
  3. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Here's the thing with a few years more notice on having to need to aquire more escorts the UK has the shipbuilding industry to not have to slow down capital ship procurement or production in fact without needing as many escorts as fast as possible in 1939/40 due to a lot of them having already...
  4. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    Missed the winkie, I'm a geezer and not fluent in Emoji.
  5. French Civil War

    I figured that possible German support coupled with the greater importance of the land in question might make Italy more hawkish compared to otl.
  6. Why so many nazis commit suicide at the end of WWII?

    Because they wanted to escape justice, didn't want to be captured by the Soviets or WAllies, or couldn't imagine life where they had lost the war. Or, like other had said, they were encouraged to do so by the leadership And all of them knew justice was either going to be a quick drop and sudden...
  7. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Britain sees Germany mass producing U-Boats, Britain will mass produce ASW weapons.
  8. AHC: Largest possible Brazil post-1900

    I think OTL Brazil is as large as it could be. Why would Brazil be looking to acquire non-Lusophone territories. Perhaps the sparsely populated Bolivian lowlands but nothing else.

    Threadmarks: Part 30 - The Century of Biology Advancements, COVID-20 and Its Aftermath

    Part 30 - The Century of Biology Advancements, COVID-20 and Its Aftermath It was hardly a surprise that by the 2020s the advancement of computer technologies was having profound effects in so many fields it was impossible to list them all. The processingability of such computers allowed some...
  10. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    The flops just keep on coming. Anyone want to try to save Plan 9 from Outer Space or Santa Claus Saves the Martians (Pia Zadora's screen debut).
  11. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    If you can save Ishtar then try for either Leonard Part 6 or Howard the Duck! BTW, Vanishing Point may not have been a success at the time but I think it is now regarded as a classic. At least I think so.
  12. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    And of course by the end of the war half of the AFVs in British service in the ETO were packing 17 pounders (Firefly, Achilles and M10s) or the '77' in the Comet and the other half the 75mm.
  13. The Forge of Weyland

    As related to the Lexingtons as I recall the orginal plan was to give them a through modernization once the first few Essexes had entered the fleet. And by through I mean a major overhaul of the machinery and making the aft elevator the size of the forward one on top of what Saratoga received in...
  14. AHC: World population 1 billion larger than it is IOTL

    Europe never goes through both world wars. Soviet industrialization and famines are avoided and keeps Russian birthrates much higher. Japan doesn't invade China. Mao dies in an accident and all his fuck ups are avoided. No one child policy, and a slow modernization keeps China in the high...
  15. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I am not entirely sure (and I was being slightly tongue in cheek in case that was not clear) - I just recall seeing the 3 million sheep thing and it requiring 3 sheep for 1 full deep winter type kit. Obviously wool has more uses than just keeping the Heer warm on the Eastern front
  16. AHC extend life of Royal Navy 13.5" Dreadnoughts and BCs into the 1940s.

    A slight change to the LNT that allows for x tonnage of ships to be kept to serve while any of the core tonnage is in refit I.e. the RN could always expect 1 of its 3 BCs and 3 of its 12 BBs in refit at any point and so is allowed to retain Tiger, and all 3 Iron Dukes to allow the fleet to be...

    I took a crack at making a more plausible Kaiserreich map, while keeping most of the major themes the same:
  19. AHC: World population 1 billion larger than it is IOTL

    In an ideal world, the majority of the power would be nuclear and nuclear-desalination for water needs with the majority of our food would coming from multi-trophic aquaculture alongside kelp reforestation efforts to capture CO2 and reverse acidification. But in todays world, its probably...

    Threadmarks: Surrender!

    With the fall of Tumbledown and Wireless Ridge and the decimation of yet more of his fighting units Brigadier Menendez had seen the writing on the wall. Tumbledown had represented the last natural obstacle from which he could hope to make a defensive stand to keep the British at bay. There was...
