  1. AHC: wank the Milesian school

    The big question is: how? Of course, once you have Socrates/Plato, or someone with that stature, a philosophy is set. What the Milesians could also have used would be a moral side to their thinking. That's something that can drive a broader interest much more than mere talk about the nature of...

    What if the Russian SFSR survived?

    Not the USSR itself, but Russia as an independent socialist state. How would Russia look today, presumably without the oligarchs and Yeltsin?
  3. AHC: wank the Milesian school

    What if Socrates, Plato and Aristotle became Milesians
  4. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    China buys/steals plans for the YAK-41M? Back to the OP, repurpose the Vosper-Thorneycroft design solely as a helicopter carrier, perhaps with space for a couple of marine companies? From this - To this? Edit to add original drawing sourced from Secret projects site.
  5. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    I'd passed over that aspect, focusing on the carrier question. But, using Op C as a example, what were the Brits able to reinforce with in the IO ? Aside from Triconalee was there any air combat group on Addu ?
  6. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    I was referring more to the late 90's to today. Basically after Tienamen when legally acquiring large numbers of Harriers (Let Alone the much more improbably F35s) became impossible politically while their economy was growing larger and larger. Since then they've developed or tried for any...
  7. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    In hindsight yes. But at the time it was being discussed, especially in late summer/ early fall 1941 - essentially the argument was, 'why back a losing horse'?
  8. Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    Are you serious?😳 Had she done such a thing, even most hardcore Anglicans would've seen her as a heretic. Or would've though she was mad. People would've probably pointed out she was descendant of Catherine of Valois who had already transmitted Charles VI's madness to Henry VI.
  9. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    Maybe I can check my copies of Smith & Stripp later, but Im fairly certain the Brits were reading the JN25 at the time. The accounts of OpC state radio intel warned the Brits of the original date of OpC & kept the aware it might still be run after the postponement. Stripp identifies 25+ code...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Orleanist from what i remember
  11. WI: Cromwell pulls a Washington

    What if, in 1647, when Parliament ordered Cromwell to disband the army, Cromwell had had the character of George Washington and had complied? He disbands the army and returns home, leaving Parliament to rule England. What happens next? What would the history of England be like with no...
  12. "Our Struggle": What If Hitler Had Been a Communist?

    Not from lack of trying by the Chinese to bring their boots down. Vietname after independence started growing closer to the Soviet Union rather than China due to CCP's aggressive stance to keep them in their sphere of influence. Okay, it is unfair to say that every promise under Communism is a...
  13. The Forge of Weyland

    More than likely, if his surrender leads to the Netherlands' loss, who are right now fighting like the devil himself and forces a Fall of France, I can easily see Belgium becoming the Piarah of Europe after the war. If they aren't partitioned, I can easily see them struggling to make any agreements.
  14. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Orleans or Bonapartist? Extra bonus - Dynastic intermarriage...

    Best accidental president

    Plus, he had a damn fine alliterated name.
  16. AHC: wank the Milesian school

    One thing that would help would be if its adherents were present in multiple cities, leading to them producing a few more big names. If you then have one of them coming up with an explanation for any sort of phenomenon that can be proven, I think that it could really boost the popularity of that...

    Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    That certainly was a swift fall. I'd think that if the Argead realm does fall, it will do so to a civil war. At this point in time, an outside threat being absolutely devastating would require something like time-displaced Mongols arriving. Unless they grow really decadent?
  18. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    That doesn't sound like Garvey will be bringing a lot of happiness. But then again, radicals rarely do.
  19. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    That's not true there were agreed limits - 45% IIRC
