    Champions of Dixie: The CSA Wins (Redux of The Sun Never Rises: If the Confederacy Won)

    Have to wonder why, after the Boss Tweed episode, which looked for a time like it would normalize relations between the US and CS, would the US suddenly oppose the legal-if dubious-purchase of the northern Mexican states by the CS. I would assume that because of the fact the CS won their...
  2. AHQ/AHC: Ideal modern tank design?

    50-60 tons sounds like the sweet spot for modern MBT designs regarding logistics/performance ratio (above a certain weight it doesn't matter if you weigh 50 or 60 tons). Now bear in mind that this is an idea from a friend but I'm ok with that: - crew capsule with heavy armor concentrated...

    Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    That's what I think. It'd be smaller than the state which spanned from Spain to India, and divided among more power centers, but there would be some conquests made by the Arabs in the region around the Arabian peninsula. No telling whether they'd LAST or not, but...
  4. WI: Henry, Duke of Cornwall survived?

    Rather concerning given Maria would only have been sixteen at that time. She can have her first child in 1530 instead.

    Threadmarks: Narrative Interlude #36: A quiet morning

    Villa Pindemonte, 7 April 1848 - Late Morning Prince Ferdinando sat back in his chair, stretching: "I think we should have no worry about Turin, Camillo. My congratulations, by the way: according to Count Balbo, your newspaper has a lot to do with that. What is your reading of the situation in...

    East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    No Espionage and Sedition Acts either, but probable delays on the 19th Amendment (women's right to vote) and probably a lot of Civil Rights laws as well. I strongly suspect this also delays or slows the migration of black Americans out of the south (which depending on who you ask, might not be a...
  7. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    KSPO (Gannett) it is. BTW, what channel number should it be? Should UHF and cable have different numbers? Since Fox is building its weeknight schedule at a slower pace than SBC did in '74, there will still be weeknights open for KSPO to cover Indians baseball or Chiefs hockey.

    The Plantagenet Succession

    Yes, restricted the line of succession and never implemented Salic Law, even though that left the Mortimer claim a ticking time bomb. Yes, heck, the first English King was a Bastard! If anything Henry VII could compare to William in some aspects.
  9. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    ...page, and make things that have never existed before. Adapters look at a job, say "well, if we take this thing that exists, change this and tweak that, we can make it do a new job". 7.62x39 just *feels* like an adaptation. On the other hand, convergent evolution is a thing too, so there...

    "Phil won't leave his room" - A Doctor Who Production History

    Thank you. It will continue soon; I've been caught up in projects at home.
  11. The Plantagenet Succession

    Indeed - Portugal and Spain basically formed around bastards taking the throne after committing slightly shady acts of shady shadiness... Let's be clear - if Henry Tudor was considered a "joke" claimant, he would not have had to flee abroad because no-one would take him seriously. The fact that...
  12. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Hey, I just realized something. Considering Jim's pacifist nature and all, is Winnie the Pooh going to be one of Disney's biggest franchises like in our timeline?
  13. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I think an affiliate in Spokane, WA, is in good order. Since KSKN didn't sign on until 1991, there might need to be a made up station. I have an idea for a call sign: KSPO (for Spokane, WA.) Possible owners include Hearst, Sinclair, Gannett, Tribune, or Fisher Communications.

    WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    Were protectorates necessarily downgrades? It seems to be a spectrum of integration/separation and autonomy/direct rule.
  15. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Fair enough, it wasn't on level with the SSR where they literally stole about half of one year's economy, but it was still plenty bad. I'm saying that $45 billion is definitely the majority of Botswana's resource value. If you look at the rest of the stuff they export, there's no way they have...

    AHQ/AHC: Ideal modern tank design?

    Going back to the thin tin can that the French schools thought desirable, is unlikely, to get the weight down. Do what the Russians think, with crew just in the hull, with automated turret?

    Remember the Rainbow Redux: An Alternate Royal Canadian Navy

    From what I've gathered from history it was particularly bad in BC. You can look at a map of territory ceded by First Nations under treaty with the federal or provincial governments and there's a big blank spot covering most of BC where territory was just straight-up stolen from whoever lived...
  19. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    It actually hadn’t occurred to me since I was just trying to bring everyone up to speed about general European affairs through the 1780s or so and I’m not as familiar with European military history. But I will consider that and either make a revision to the last update or add it to my list of...
  20. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    You need 1. More development in Gaul early on 2. Something that either destroys Greece or keeps it too poor to afford all the art and philosophy and cities on general There may be some group of Phoenicians settling in southern Gaul and teaching the Celts writing and other stuff. Ehat can mess...
