  1. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Ya, not sure why I pegged Pegasus there as I was intending on using it as the "exception that proves the rule" and then apparently lost track of what I was saying :) I'll note though that it did NOT "kill" the Scout as that had already been in trouble since the Shuttle was proposed. (Yes it was...

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    ... Oh. Fuck. Actually you're so good at writing the magic stuff that I've never been 100% sure that it wasn't real ITTL... *ahem*... YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!! IT WAS SAID YOU WOULD DESTROY THE WORM CULT, NOT JOIN THEM!!! THAT YOU WOULD BRING GLORY JEV'S GREEN EARTH, NOT LEAVE IT IN...
  3. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

  4. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I think besides the Kaiserreich model of the defeated Entente going communist (I'm sure it's not the first AH work to come up with it), the other one is the Timeline-191 model of the defeated Entente going fascist (it's definitely not the first work to do it, either, and I think it's almost a...
  5. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Well personally I would consider the biggest reason why Argentina stagnated to go back much further. The way the Argentinian system was set up in the 19th century was in some ways similar to the American south, where you had a small landowning elite that would have huge ranches and farms that...
  6. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    The British fought on in 1940 with a fully permanent occupation of France & the Netherlands by Germany, despite logic leaving the Soviet Union (1 year) and the US (18 months) out of the war. What's changed?
  7. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    So in the world of class warfare there are states between a complete lack of social antagonism and the violent hegemonisation of society by one group over the protest of all others. In the world of analysing class warfare there are agents which, despite their manifest incapacities (1968) ought...
  8. The Forge of Weyland

    I understand the arguement Astro is presenting for Leopold losing his nerve. Without the the benefit of knowing how much better things are than OTL it might not look great from his perspective. The Belgian boarder defences where lost much quicker than expected and the Belgian army has taken a...

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

    I also could be wrong. There may have been some exceptions, but I just find it better to be safe than sorry, ya know?

    Threadmarks: Groups E-H 2019-20

    Group E was widely considered to be the group of death, with Brazil, the Netherlands and Italy all competing for slots in the knockout stage. In the end, things came down to the wire. The Dutch took first place, while Italy ended up above Brazil on goal average...but were knocked down to the...
  13. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Hmmm ... I wonder what the best way to fit 'British North American Legion' on a badge would be?
  14. The world of Harry Turtledove's Atlantis.

    RIGHT, hopefully we'll now be able to see this illustration.:coldsweat:
  15. WI: No Molotov-Ribbentrop

    Hmm yeah that’s a good point. I kind of saw it as once Barbarossa had started, it was “victory or destruction“ for the Heer, but I suppose this is a more realistic way of looking at it. The PoD here is a Russian one, not a German one
  16. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Honestly I dunno how unrealistic that is. The CP was *really* vindictive in the treaties it pushed on powers that beat them, Versailles was nothing compared to the Treaty of Frankfurt and Brest-Litovsk.
  17. The world of Harry Turtledove's Atlantis.

    ... well there was supposed to be a picture there (and it's rather a good one, so I'll just have to try again and hope technology treats me kindly!).
  18. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    It's sort of too implausible to think about, because it involves: 1. The post-warlord era, post-Japanese invasion, imminent civil war R.O.C. willing to take on occupation duties of another country. 2. The U.S. committing to sidelining De Gaulle or Darlan or whomever for Chiang. 3. The...
  19. How devastating would a Japanese invasion of Korea be in the 1870s

    Excellent point. With WWI and WWII and the possibility of a nuclear exchange during the cold war, I’m used to looking at war as an all-or-nothing proposition. And that need not always be the case!
