  1. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Considering who we are talking about Tudors and Henry VII, Richmond for the youngest son is at least likely as Bedford if not more. I would put also Pembroke between Richmond and Bedford in the list of possible royal Dukedoms for Henry VII’s sons ,

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    A de la Pole does better IMO. Besides I am only saying it's not impossible for Tudor to get one of the York girls. But the thing is Cecily is betrothed to Albany at this point according to wikipedia.
  3. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    there was always a pretty hefty number of Northern VC early on as well. And VC had been dying for a while The North like to claim the VC spontaneously created itself in the south in a burst of anti western / pro-Ho fervour, but the reality was the accents tended to give them away a lot...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?
    Threadmarks: Chapter Five: The Conclusions of an Eventful Year

    I think this more accurately represents what was discussed.
  5. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    As does say a Bourchier, but one has Edward's daughter become queen and the other doesn't. And it most certainly does not definitively do so. Does James want to keep his throne? If he has any sense he'll marry his son to Cecily otherwise he'll get yeeted by Albany.

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Absolutely, I might put it to a vote though.
  7. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Not sure what sort of deal Chamberlain would have got with Stalin (half of Europe or just all of Poland, perhaps ?). As for second point - RN (and the Admiralty) were battleship obsessed. Submarines were way down on their list, not worth thnking of, and the danger of the U-boat was almost...

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

    Poor Patty, I would also start worshipping a worm if I were in his position.

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Let's just ignore the whole claim issue, because that's a whole other can of worms, but it guarantees Tudor's loyalty. Really? Because I have seen several people say these were genuinely discussed. But would James III really agree to a match with a man who literally tried to overthrow him? A...
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Late response today! Duty called. Anyway... Mort was attempted twice that I know of, once by a "Major Studio" in the late '80s, leading to the infamous "lose the death angle" and once in 2010 by Disney Animation...that's where the Clare Keane artwork came from...she's Glen Keane's daughter...
  11. The Empire Parnell Built

    *sigh* It looks as though women's sports aren't as popular (or as lucrative) as men's sports ITTL as well.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 9 - A Royal Birth and A Royal Affair

    Chapter 9 - A Royal Birth and A Royal Affair 1509, was a big year for the 1-year-old Prince John. It was the year his future, wife Anne Howard [1], was born. Young Anne Howard was the daughter of Thomas Howard, the heir to the Earldom, and Anne of York, the sister of the late Queen Elizabeth...
  13. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    This utterly ignores the agency of the group in question. The "land reform" campaign, which involved systematic dispossession of landowners and richer peasants, was a dogmatic Communist approach to the issue. The bait and switch, of land distribution followed by collectivization, was part and...

    What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    ...and then graduate to a T2x immediately. Other tools of the trade are scattered all over these forums, but an improved BAR (FN-D) or the Ruger *(SAW) is essential as a base of fire weapon. The M1919A4 .30 is a decent platoon machine gun. The M2 0.50 as a vehicle gun should be army-wide...
  15. Have the BL/Austin Maxi as or more successful as the Ford Cortina

    In no order No 1.5 liter engine, stick with the E-series 1750 and up to 2+l? A different gearbox, or at the very least move the gearbox out of the sump, having space between you and the ground is a good idea. No Hydragas suspension? Great when it worked, which was most of the time, but a bugger...
  16. AHC: Germanic but not Englidh England

    Didn't they also take part in the Anglo-Saxon conquest, along with the Jutes (and some Franks too, come to think of it)?

    Threadmarks: Sport: Most valuable women's cricket leagues

    It occurred to me that I ought to clarify (for those of you who wonder about this) what I mean by 'cricket' TTL. Technically, the sports are slightly different between the men's and women's games. The men's game is 20 overs a side but played with an OTL first class ball (red or pink, depending...
  18. The Forge of Weyland

    I think even if the Germans ultimately win the Battle of France, it is going to be a pyrrhic victory. They are going to end extremely mauled to invade Russia. North Africa is going to be a walk in the park for the UK.

    Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    I didnt intend to force a change. I just remembered that around the same time IOTL and also IITL that the rebellion was happening in America, Prussia had declared war on Austria because Emperor Jospeh II had tried to make an exchange with the Elector of Bavaria: The Austrian Netherlands (OTL...
  20. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    As I said: easier to develop and acquire a large STOBAR or full CATOBAR carrier rather than develop their own VTOL fighter. VTOL fighters are hard to develop. Plus, full-size ships better fit post-Tianenmen Chinese naval doctrine.
