  1. The Forge of Weyland

    For those who remember the old Sinatra film "Assault on a Queen" there's probably a good script in there.
  2. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    For some strange reason, I'm intrigued about the aptness (or supposed lack thereof) of the Saudi Arabian army around the Gulf War period, yet uneducated on the finer details. Could that be more explained? If they are as incompetent as many posters ascribe them to be, how would any of you...
  3. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The Panther's final drives specifically were of much poorer quality than the Tiger's and as such less durable because the Germans simply didn't have the tooling to produce the high performance final drives in the numbers required, for example.

    Publius Crassus (son of the triumvir) Doesn't Die at Carrhae-Who does Pompey Marry?

    Decimus and Marcus weren’t brothers, or closely related, but true, after all Faustus Sulla and Publius Sulla were on opposite sides. Indeed, some families on such occasions picked both sides so that the winner could protect the loser. However, I just don’t see Publius picking Pompeius over...

    Publius Crassus (son of the triumvir) Doesn't Die at Carrhae-Who does Pompey Marry?

    I think Publius stands a decent chance of emerging from the Carrhae disaster long-term if he acts like Cassius IOTL. He is now head of a very wealthy family and has received high praise from both Cicero, who praised his character and oratory as well as Caesar who viewed him as a talented...

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Henry had my sympathy...but he’s really testing it right now!
  7. The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    I finished reading this timeline and am amazed at the work put in. So does it seem like South Africa will remain that way forever smugly pleased at what most others view with disgust?

    List of monarchs III

    Btw, for those interested in dynastic politics, and such; I do invite you to the NG community. We currently have a 1230s game, if anyone is interested, please send me a PM!
  9. Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    The name used in official US propaganda for the war between the United States and the Integralist Bloc. Initiated by President D. C. Stephenson ordering the invasion of Cristero Mexico to "push back the forces of Papism" as part of his broader anti-Integralist agenda. Despite initial victories...
  10. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Given that if the Ports remain in U.K. hands and are used in WW2, then Ireland no matter what Dev wants will be drawn into the war anyway, all of that will have to be done before the US enters the war. There was loads of “staff level” discussions in the late 30s about plans but as ever between...
  11. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Yeah.. My $.02 worth on mid to late war German WW2 Tank production. IMHO they probably got reasonable value from the Tigers. Building a limited production heavy tank (that presumably due to the low numbers produced could actually be provided with suitably engineered drive train components)...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Steam will always be more maintenance intensive than ICE. Automatic Feedwater heater unit as an add-on is possible, otherwise, just have to be religious in doing blow-downs. That said, Horses need even more attention in cold weather, so not much change in changing from them.
  13. Alternate Lord Protector during the reign of Edward VI?

    Indeed. Prince Philip has A Scottish Dukedom, Welsh Earldom and English Baronetcy. But the general rule, aside from the Prince of Wales, seems to be English Duke, and the Earldoms and Baronetcys from Scotland and Ireland.
  14. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I'm wondering how fast I should zip through 1973. Not a lot is going to happen in Trek in 1973 because TAS won't get off the ground until 1974 ITTL. Most of 1973 is going to be the first year of the Muskie administration ITTL and I can simply do a full-year summary of what happens. Hint: The...
  15. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Henry, Henry!!!!! You have still NOT yet learned who trusting Somerset is a very bad mistake? Also Richard would be very stupid to marry one of his daughters (and who? Margaret?) to the second son of the King of France (true who many believed who he would be his father’s heir instead of the...
  16. Conservative Democrats in the 1990s?

    It would probably be under this kind of scenario that the city vote wouldn't become as lopsided in favour of the Democrats as it has. The likes of WV, AR and the Dakotas are more competitive on presidential elections. Of course it depends on the trajectory of the GOP too. If the 'average'...
  17. Pop-Culture in TNO

    GO4 reforms happen in spite of Speer through in that route. And this also takes into account that the racism in the US ends up being challenged to greater extent than OTL, which could nip the whole culture war "redemption arcs are a mechanism of a horrific racist power elite" by way of meeting...

    Have Hudson Motors continue to be viable company up to the present.

    If the Utility 'Bull' is a money maker, that puts them in a better spot for forming AMC, with Hudson having more if a say in things not just being Mason and then Romney from Nash in the Driver's Seat for AMC. My hope would be that Hudson, with an enlarged air-cooled boxer from the 1940s 'Bull'...

    Marvel AU: Part 1: The Third American Civil War Part 2: The Commonwealth of America: By 2037 the American Entente had driven the tyrannical dictatorship of Steve Rodgers beyond its shores to Cuba and expiated it sins with the execution of its "immortal" leader. But the price of liberation...
