  1. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    These would've been nose-mounted, as earlier Phantom proposals had included various nose options with different sensor and weapon fits. In any case, this seems to have been the only real proposal for an internal gun fit to Navy Phantoms. Unfortunately, I can find no reference to fitting the...
  2. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    By any remotely reasonable standard, the U.S.'s "imperialistic heyday" (in terms of "hegemony") was 20 or 30 years ago, when it was the sole superpower in the world. Although in some respects, such as gay rights, it is better now than it was then, in others it is arguably worse; certainly in...
  3. Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

    I second this wholeheartedly.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    What if the mention of both Gary Hart and the "War on Drugs" are allusions to Disney endorsing Gary Hart for President. How that affects the War on Drugs I don't know. And if not Christopher Lee than maybe Geoffrey Holder: (Yes I was inspired by Grim from the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy)
  5. Philip V Manages to Successfully Intervene in the Second Punic War

    Well the Carthaginians repeatedly sealifted strong corps across the Mediterranean during the war, so Roman naval superiority is far from absolute. Neither is manpower superiority; at their respective heights, the Carthaginians and Romans had roughly equal strength under arms, and both endured...
  6. WI: Saddam and Khomeni were full allies

    I think it would be like Stalin and Hitler; inevitably there would be a falling out. Saddam's Iraq was a secular nation while Iran under Khomeini was and is a theocracy. They had radically different world visions that would have driven them apart.

    Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    What exactly was their excuse for doing exactly that in the Czech rump state?
  9. Conservative Democrats in the 1990s?

    You'd need an earlier POD than that. No way they become conservative after FDR barring Southern Democrats somehow get back into full power and kick out northern progressives. Maybe they are less liberal as in they might not be as liberal on social issues or things like that, but they won't be...
  10. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    The sensible answer would be that Berlin is accepting this “deal” because they know full well they can overturn it at a time of their choosing. In fact, they would probably be aiming to do so months or a few years down the line when France “proves itself incapable of proper governance” or some...
  11. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    Has anyone seen pictures of proposals for Navy (big radar) Phantoms fitted with an internal gun? I read years ago that there was a proposal to fit a gun or guns to F4B but have never seen any details. Was it single barrel 20mms, or a vulcan, was it like the F4E? I think from the major design...
  12. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I just went on Wikipedia and that appears to be the case. However, our timeline's version has to be different, probably significantly, than this timeline's due to Spielberg's and Bluth's influence in our timeline
  13. Have the BL/Austin Maxi as or more successful as the Ford Cortina

    Lesney Products &. Co. Ltd. did the 1800. I still have mine. It's a gold-coloured one.

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

    The general idea that a central powers victory creates a happier world overall. That people's beloved German Empire will lead Europe into an early European union and broad sunlit uplands. This seems predicated on the idea that Versailles made the Nazis and WW2 inevitable, which is a rather...
  16. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    1945/46 was they key point before the Viet Minh grew too powerful to be removed without a very bloody war, even if the Brits and Indians had stayed long enough to teach the French how to fight in the Jungle as they were some of the best at it after fighting the Japanese for 3 years in...

    US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    France NEVER left NATO, they only left the command structure meaning French troops fought under independent command rather than a unified NATO. Not to mention France is geographically far different than the Netherlands, they are much bigger and considered by many the “heart” of Europe. Without...
  18. Map Thread XX

    How did England go after the invasion? What prompted New France to secede? How is Japan doing?
  19. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    That's the other answer - the British Indian troops stay (OTL they did kick the stuffing out of the locals) OTL the French troops that replaced them were inexperienced in jungle fighting (mostly having been marques and what have you in France) and could not defeat them outside of the towns and...
