  1. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    The PCF as we know will fail. The problem is that Gladio indicate that the US was *overly concerned* regarding the PCI or PCF as they historically existed; and potentially to the extent that a competent analysis of the PCF could produce as a future threat. France would need Soc Ou Bar to be...
  2. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    The way I see this going down is Saddam's aim is to boost oil prices and he sends in a covert team as a "terrorist cell" to do the damage. He tries to make sure it is deniable and tries to make it look like it was done by Al Qaeda or some Saudi rebel group. This is the only way it makes sense...
  3. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Do you have larger pics of the Emergency Regime and Restoration Regime flags? They look amazing

    Map Thread XX

    @B_Munro I’m no FancyHat but the Chinese-Russian border is the Treaty of Amur border, so I’m willing to bet that’s just the Qing for you Also that China seems to be using the internal early to mid-Qing Lifan Yuan system of governing non-Han territories separately from “China proper”
  5. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    Yes, but you have to consider how much of that opposition was due to the fact that it was becoming increasingly likely that the person nominated VP would end up as president. Without that looming threat, I doubt the resistance to Connally would be as strong. Without Watergate Nixon may very well...
  6. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    I think I'll add the Skua to the list of prewar aircraft that never got to shine. If things had been a little different then they could have raised hell against the Italians both at sea and in the desert. I also think they could have done well in Malaya until overwhelmed. Norway showed what...
  7. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    Okay let's say both Algeria and Vietnam fall at the same time and we can see the OAS and your much-vaunted PCF duke it out in the Parisian streets.
  8. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    So the F-4T seems like an interesting way to keep the phantom in service a lot longer. Unfortunately, from the same link it looks like the phantom that was modified to fly with canards wasn't very successful, so I probably shouldn't offer that up as a silver bullet for improving the airframe...
  9. Map Thread XX

    A few then: - Are those all native American states in the interior of N. America or are some of them European "Trekboer" states? (And if the first, tribes in the SW and South America seem underrepresented. ) - Is it still Habsburgs in Spain? How do they get along with their Austrian...
  10. Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    As head of the Protestant Church could she just declare it a miracle? Of course it's likely most of the nobility would know the truth, but officially it was a virgin birth.
  11. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The US if it was smart enough to hand over MACV in ‘62 to one of the Marine generals that actually had experience with counterinsurgency in the 20s and 30s it would have made a massive difference. In a few years the South Vietnamese Army and militias could have focused on policing the...
  12. WI: Timur restores the Yuan to the throne of China

    300 years is a very brief period of time? The Northern Yuan lasted until the rise of the Qing.
  13. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Okay. Thanks for clarifying this!
  14. River of Death

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Fair enough then. Those types of starting points can lead to far more diverse scenarios than sticking to a single PoD, and I do look forward to where you are going with this. A hundred times over yes, my (recently changed) username refers to Chickamauga and extends the homage to Thomas...
  15. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Joe and Ken were supposed to step down and serve as consultants under Ron Miller. But then things suddenly changed. So they didn't really leave. They're just being brought back as co-chairs.
  16. Best accidental president

    He kicked ass in this Turtledove short story https://turtledove.fandom.com/wiki/Must_and_Shall
  17. Jasper Tudor had children. The effects?

    Given Jasper and Henry Tudor's close relationship, I expect him to get along well with his cousins
  18. WI: Marcus Aurelius dies of the Antonine Plague

    Good question. Commodus would still be Aurelius' heir, but he's nowhere near the age to be emperor. Best case scenario for Faustina is that she works out some sort of co-emperor deal. Worst case scenario is that there's a coup
