  1. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    A large number of of Decima Mas ops were failures several were disasters 1940 - 4 ops all failed 1941 - 5 ops 3 failed (the attack on Valetta being an utter disaster) - 2 succeeded (largest success of the war crippling the 2 battleships and the early destruction of HMS York) 1942 - 6 Ops 2...
  2. WI: Second Russian Civil War

    Sorry, I thought he was thinking of any time after the original one and just listed the 1991 coup attempt as an example of a potential POD.

    Have the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) be successful

    Didn't the much-beloved *ahem* Iranian Paykan also use a Peugeot-derived engine? Fuel mileage was abysmal for a 4-cyl as I recall...

    WI: Founding Fathers amended the Articles of Confederation

    Depends on what you mean worked.
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    With regards to the 1992 presidential race, with Gary Hart (likely) losing in 1988 due to his extramarital affair being exposed, I wonder if this butterflies away Clinton as the 1992 nominee...
  6. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    What the USSR did have that China didn't was massive amounts of natural resources. The effects of that on corruption in developing countries is very well-established, and that's where Russia's biggest problems with it are today. China had its own issues, but when you introduce massive oil...

    The Plantagenet Succession

    I guess Canute didn't make the cut for certain reasons, but I won't object. It's your TL after all.
  8. Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    ...Africa. I have doubts about single or small numbers of tribes accomplishing more then limited turf grabs, possibly not ever passing the Nile. **It should be noted as a possibility that any potentially unifying ideology or clan that found significant success could (in theory) trigger the...
  9. The Plantagenet Succession

    Olaf Eric and Frederick it is.

    Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    Without watergate to make "small government" more credible, I don't see Reagan being seen as anything more than fringe without watergate.
  11. WI: Arab Viking Age in Indian Ocean

    What if instead of expanding North into North Africa and the Middle East, otl overpopulation and economic constraints in Arabia in the early middle ages leads to large Arab expansion along the Indian Ocean Coasts of Africa, India, Ceylon, and Burma via viking style raids and conquering? Could...
  12. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    patton would have followed the directives of the Chiefs of Staff, just as ridgeway did.
  13. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Very well. Apologies. Still, the only successful spy the us/Brits have had so far iirc is the dude who entered abwhr headquarters and stole that coding tape that implicated Schultz.

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Interesting Yorkist family tree, @Cate13. I'm quite flabbergasted that the York Boys sow their wild oats that much to have a total of thirteen illegitimate children. (Although, I'll never count Lady Anne Butler's progeny considering that Edmund married her after Marie and thus her children are...
  15. AHC: Rome without slavery

    Yeah conditions in antiquity here are in no way comparable to what you're trying to do.
  16. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    A lot of people think that Connally (Nixon's preferred successor) would have been the nominee, but I disagree. I think Reagan would be the favorite, no matter how much backing Nixon gave Connally for several reasons. One is that no-Watergate does absolutely nothing to help the bad economy of the...
  17. Have the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) be successful

    Yeah, not using the RPV engine is definitely a no brainer here.

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    It isn't. You might recall this flash forward post from some time ago that I did as a gag. The leak in question is the same one that the CIA is working in the last post.
  19. WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    Nobody wanted this in France or Algeria. France wanted a continuation of the pre-1954 status quo while Algeria wanted independence.
  20. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    Upthread, someone mentioned existing medium powered hunting cartridges. Here is a logical departure that could make sense. Something like a .30 Remington is practically an intermediate cartridge already - shorter and smaller case diameter than the .30-06. The factory load was a 150 grain...
