    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I think I like Mr. Bailey's toys better.
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Okay, but that means you need a counterweight before you push it out. plus you actually need to prepare the ground on your own side. All in all, putting a bridge across the Corinth Canal is significantly harder than putting it across a generic river of equivalent width. That would make thing...
  3. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Indonesian Navy and Air Force are the "poor cousins" of the triumverate. They definitely the junior partners. The majority of their budget goes to the Army. Their army is designed for COIN work primarily. They need numbers of well trained soldiers, not an aircraft carrier.

    OTL German para's captured one of the bridges intact, though it was later destroyed.
  5. A European "China"?

    The idea of a single united empire under a single leader is an incredibly powerful one for the human mind. Its the reason people are still trying to unite Europe today. The Roman Empire had this effect in Europe well into the Middle Ages, which was why the Imperial title was resurrected not just...
  6. When was the Levant and Egypt lost/unconquerable to the Romans/Byzantines?

    I have to partially disagree in terms of comparing rashidun armies with the slavs the slavs we're both migrating and invading some tribes joined the Romans some others were plundering and sole others forced by the avar khaganate to become their cannon fodder ( at least in the early years)...

    Since Bally bought out circus world should they buyout barum bialy circus
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Furthermore here's the list of companies acquired by Mattel: Tyco, Fisher-Price, the Pleasant Company (American Girl), Matchbox, and Mega Blox. I made an error: Selchow & Righter was acquired by Coleco in 1986. Since this was not mentioned in an update, I assume this proceeded as OTL.
  9. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    Can they hold the Exarchate of Africa because of the roman identity, or would it eventually break free from the empire?

    Threadmarks: Entertainment News for January 1987

    Disney and Universal are both jockeying for third-party licensees for new parks expected to open right here in Orlando at decade's end. Disney is hoping to beat Universal to the punch with the Disney-Fox Studios, a third gate at the Walt Disney World resort themed around Hollywood glamor and...

    China does not take over Tibet

    I think the only way to do this would be by giving Tibet a large protector like how Mongolia's independence was preserved for being a Soviet protectorate. So far the only definite possibility would be a larger independent India that avoids partition, and thus does not have a constant distraction...

  13. WI: Heydrich Succeeds Hitler in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    So in my Kalterkrieg setting, Heydrich became the Fuhrer of Germany in a coup in the mid/late 50’s after the death of Hermann Goring (who himself shared power with Goebbels after staging a palace coup against Bormann, Hitler’s successor after his death). The setting is a little different...
  14. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Lambert Simnel was crowned in Dublin as King Edward and was said to be son of the Duke of York or of Edward IV. Official version of the story (the one arrived to us and the one diffused also in England at that time) is who Simnel claimed first to be Warwick (who was imprisoned in the Tower) and...
  15. When was the Levant and Egypt lost/unconquerable to the Romans/Byzantines?

    I cant really speak for this specific time period. What I know is from later periods. Like for example ottomans blocked protestant preachers from entering a lot of their provinces at the request of their orthodox clerical vassals. I may be projecting back.

    Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    ...(it translates to something like "One of Horus"). That was short-lived! Is TTL's Alexandria in the same spot as OTL's (the Egyptian town of *Rhakotis)? If so, one could imagine that fantastic natural harbor being put to good use and maintaining the city's significance until long past the...

    Threadmarks: Part LVI: Boyabad (1527)

    Part LVI: Boyabad (1527) The Trapezuntines would begin their march to destiny in February 1527. The ground was hard and frozen, and the air was bitterly cold and fierce, driven by winds of the Black Sea, and David couldn’t help but be reminded that marching under similar conditions had led to...

    Uh, what? Why? What nationalists want to limit the size of their country?

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Thank you, Flos. I've actually heard a lot of EU4 comparisons, but that has nothing to do it. I haven't played it since last year, actually.

    Tyco was actually acquired by Mattel. @Goldwind2 forgot Selchow & Righter (which I think was acquired by Parker Bros.-Tonka).
