    WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    Plus this leaves the giant American Far East Airforce entirely intact and likely to be majorly enforced.
  2. An Alternate 1989 NFL Draft

    Clams or Crabs them. Stallions make so much sense as Maryland still hate the irsay

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Well, John Bell might be able to get moderate Democrats to throw the House to him, though the Republicans wouldn't be happy with it

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I explained that in the edit. Someone tried to use the arguments of Thomas Aquinas to denounce the bombing campaign. But the argument held no water because of Aquinas's other views. But my mention of it to debunk the line of reasoning sent the thread off on a tangent. It wasn't supposed to spark...
  5. Sony never makes PlayStation

    You've to thank ubisoft for that, EA and Activision wanted it but european rules are far more strictier and that make ubisoft got cold feet( would have loss their tax returns from France)
  6. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    Why would the Japanese voluntarily leave their supply lines open to attack or interference by a Power who has been embargoing them for months and more recently cut off oil shipments?
  7. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    This is the wrong way to view the Viet Minh (or more precisely, the Vietnamese Communist Party, which was the dominant faction within it). They were Vietnamese Nationalists and Communists in equal parts. To them, a socialist Vietnam and a truly sovereign and independent Vietnam were synonymous...
  8. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Any PM who would seriously consider this, wouldn't last beyond the first debate in parliament. And that first debat would be really soon.
  9. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    A Ah, so they could gain independence earlier. (I made a poll, BTW)
  10. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    There was actually a serious proposal to just replace the F-104s and Voodoos with Phantoms when the withdrawal from the nuclear strike role made the F-104 no longer relevant.
  11. WI: Napoleon becomes a dual Emperor of France and Germany

    The fact that Joseph, Louis and Jérôme didn't speak Spanish, Dutch and German didn't stop him from making them kings... (Granted, at least Louis made a serious effort to learn Dutch.)

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Why did this thread about bombing in WORLD WAR 2 turn into a discussion on the Crusades?
  13. More Than A Feeling

    1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    The fall of the WBL. After losing San Francisco and Houston the only teams with stable finances now are San Antonio, Seattle, Kansas City and Salt Lake City. Anyone else could fold at any moment.

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Venezuela is definitely Soviet aligned, but is suffering from political chaos as the various powers within the leftist junta jockey against each other. The situation with LGBT rights would probably have proceeded as it did in the 1980s, generally regarded as a mental illness, however there would...
  15. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    There should be positives out of authoritarianism? I guess more stability, at the cost of civil liberties and people dying to increased state violence, but that's still an odd thing to state. Why are you assuming that being left-wing would make the authoritarian tendencies of the people you...
  16. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    @Ogrebear There actually were plans for an animated adaptation of Mort. But they fell through because the studio wanted to cut out Death. Because Death is too scawy for the widdle babies /s. But Jim's the kind of guy to understand where Pratchett is coming from in regards to the story.
  17. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    Socialist revolutions, and revolutions in general, are by nature very turbulent things and don't happen overnight. In almost any conceivable scenario, the victory of the socialist side (or, probably more accurately, that fraction within the broad left that manages to outdo the others) will be a...

    AHQ/AHC: Ideal modern tank design?

    Probably outdated idea now. but I remember seeing a video on South African armor, where the point was specifically made that their vehicles tended to be taller than their counterparts elsewhere as the operating environment for them was usually scrublands, with vegetation in the 3-5 meter height...
  19. What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    I wonder why powerpacks on rails weren't more common outside of the US. Even more that the postwar US powerpacks were seemingly harder to remove than say, the AMX-30's or the Leopard 1's after the WW2 experience.

    Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Nor the handover of 90% of the French fleet not to mention the Dutch East Indies.
