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

    And I’m sure, given their previous track record, that the Germans’ Mittelafrika plans coupled with the inevitable chaos of the transition would ensure a very peaceful, stable, developing supercolony that would in no way become a mega-dystopia version of Leopold’s Congo and the Herero Genocide.

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Dr Berg as Mama Bear on one side, Kat as Mama Tigress on the other. If they keep from directly interfering, then Kiki will be in for a surprisingly smooth pregnancy. IF...
  3. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    Glad you like it and thanks for the detailed feedback. Worth noting that while the story is of course fictionalised all the politicians are real liberian politicians. Early Liberia is stranger than fiction. Oh, yes very much so. As I hint in the last line, its entirely possible for ttl liberia...
  4. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    Can you imagine an improved or enlarged version with a Hercules and 1000lb bombs. Heck even a Perseus 100 would give 1200hp and a significant increase in capability.
  5. Rosenberg's Reich: The Myth of The Twentieth Century

    It's unlikely in the scenario you've described that the border between Germany & Poland would be the Oder-Neisse line as it was in OTL. With the alliance with the Soviet Union, the WAllies, mainly the British & US had to make 1 of 3 bad choices because Stalin wanted to retain that part of Poland...
  6. WI: Socialist Germany & Fascist Russia

    Any specific reason why you're aiming for this? This might not be as easy as you think. First of all, various "Red" leaders WERE taken off the table IOTL, and that only served to radicalise the labour movement really, so that a bunch of angry, not entirely down-to-earth intellectuals came back...

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    I remember a funny excerpt from a transcription of an interview with a US diplomat for the Khmer Republic/Cambodia about he had once met a Vietnamese man dressed in an all white suit who introduced himself as the last Trotskyist in Indochina. The rest had all been purged.

    When you said “NNG should introduce more butterflies”, I started to think about your suggestion to the TL about Microsoft making the Xbox due to Nintendo, Sega and Sony using Linux.

    @No_Names_Left321 glorious! (poor Austria, by the way :frown:)

    Pop Culture Oneshot Scenarios

    Atelier Aviation TL Biographies: Kyoko Fukada Portrait of Kyoko Fukada, this is the last known picture before her death Background: Kyoko Fukada (深田 恭子, Fukada Kyōko, November 2, 1982 - November 11, 2017) is a Japanese actress and singer. She is represented by the agency Horipro. In Japan...
  11. Feeble Constitution - A Red-and-Green Russia 1917 Timeline

    True, if that still happened in the same way, it would feel weird. Not being imprisoned, Taboritsky might not even meet Shabelsky-Bork (who, in turn, most certainly got some VeCheKa treatment, like Vinberg, too). They all might still go about their businesses on the far right fringe of UoE...
  12. WI: Socialist Germany & Fascist Russia

    This is something I'm toying with as part of a timeline. Basically, without any massive changes to the world prior to 1914, could we get a successful socialist revolution in Germany, while Russia ultimately goes fascist? And if we did, what might that look like. For Russia, I think it's not...
  13. AHQ/AHC: Ideal modern tank design?

    An ideal MBT for Australian conditions? Because of the need to operate in the islands to our north, the weight of a vehicle would be limited by the needs of the infrastructure and the ability to easily transport. That would be about 50 tons. It would need enhanced Chobham armour. It would...
  14. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond
    Threadmarks: Developments in Vietnam, Supreme Court update, more on Latin America, the Servicemen's Readjustment and Protection Act of 1962, and Nixon's Crusade

    All in the family On July 10th, 1962 President Kennedy spoke with Ambassador Roger Hilsman about the situation in South Vietnam. -- A phone conversation between President John F. Kennedy and Ambassador Hillsman That same day, word reached Diem that the President himself specifically requested...
  15. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    1) Mostly correct. The Arabic transmission was important but some ancient works had remained known and others were translated directly from Greek sources, which of course remained available. Quantitatively, Greek-to-Latin covered more ancient texts than Greek-(to Syriac)-to-Arabic-to-Latin...
  16. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    1909 BASEBALL RECAP During the 1908-1909 Offseason: The Sacramento Solons and The Oakland Oaks have been folded from the WBL forcing the league to switch to a Single 10 Team League however the WBL Triple-A League has been shuttered due to the Transition of the MBL-WBL Merger which will be in...

    Army of the Roanoke: could this work?

    Don't you mean Butler? Burnside was CO of IX Corps, and was operating with the Army of the Potomac (although he was not giving a very good performance.) Grant actually did propose this line of advance, but was not thinking of an advance up the Roanoke but rather a march south from Suffolk to...
  18. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Byzantinified Hohenzollerns is very cool. More secure succession for Manuel should do good things for the empire, assuming his sons are competent and not inclined to fratricidal civil war.
  19. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    I presume we are not talking about bent pipe shaped cigarette holders and being fabulous. For Ho to preside over a complex federalist socialism which more cleverly used more formally intermediary ownership systems across a mis weighted multi national federation dominated by two related yet...
