  1. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    The RNs sole, and I do mean sole chance, is to slip in a killing blow at night. Otherwise they die, no ifs ands or buts. They don’t have the numbers, or to be brutally frank, the quality of aircraft to go against the KB any other way. Armored decks are good for protecting yourself, but to...
  2. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Would it be possible for Fox to have a nightly newscast. I can't find a good anchor yet, or news staff. Maybe they can get news staff from the affiliates?

    Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    From everything I've read, the Germans (and the Japanese) were miles behind the US and UK in their nuclear programme (contributions of the UK are often sadly overlooked...). Could the Germans have sent a bomber over NYC or elsewhere on the US east coast? Probably. It would no doubt have been a...
  4. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    And it's no longer necessary, because they've militarily defeated Russia more quickly.
  5. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    It depends whether the Germans decide to send Lenin to Russia as OTL. I suspect not, as a destabilized Russia is now a bad thing for Germany. They probably want a weak Russia, not one possibly in chaos. If the Germans DO send Lenin, I feel the revolution will manage to succeed, but the...
  6. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    This is why we have to toss out so much of the how the USN fought the Midway battle. The Brits have different weapons and doctrine, which inevitably will lead to different decisions on how to fight the battle. Spruance positioned his TF where he did as that was a good position for US weapons...
  7. The Plantagenet Succession
    Threadmarks: The Power of the Plantagenets - by Alison Weir.

    A double update? *Le gasp!* Can it be? An excerpt from The Power of the Plantagenets - Published June 6, 1999, by Alison Weir. Living like Kings necessarily means eating like Kings which is never beneficial in the long run. The Plantagenets certainly had a taste for good dining but a good...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Wikipedia but hey ho, 45% of the supplies sent to the Soviet Union by the US went via the Persian corridor. So assuming 1000 tonnes per day for a British division in Soviet Union, this is higher than ww2 requirements for a British division of approximately 700 tonnes per day but assumes more...
  9. Have the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) be successful

    I'd have voted to acquit for that alone. ;)
  10. Raumboote modern derivatives

    Any takers here ? If I’m not mistaken Germany did retain some raumboot but no newer versions were planned postwar
  11. More prominent automatic and semi-automatic rifles by WW1

    I wonder if delaying the introduction of the M1897 howitzer could do it. Or delay introduction of HE ammo. Force infantry to carry & operate its own high-volume fire weapon. The other option that comes to mind is the more improbable, IMO: improve mobility. Put more infantry into trucks &...
  12. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Catalina NOW is NOT interested in remarrying: she has a Kingdom to rule and her nephew and niece to fill the place of the children who she do not have. When Ferdinand will be adult and married maybe she will persuaded to remarry, likely to an older King with small children who need...
  13. Much more aggressive UN peacekeeping missions

    If PRC attacks Taiwan or Hong Kong then ussr and USA can potentially cooperate ?
  14. Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    a successful FWA Julian Cayo-Evans?
  15. Rare earth metals in 70s and 80s

    What application did these metals have in the 70s and 80s ?
  16. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    I’m thinking as soon as Iraqis take over Kuwait they start sending teams and infiltrators by sea into the KSA eastern provinces , create chaos in the ports possibly cut off Bahrain and Qatar from KSA
  17. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    Personally, I like four 20mm in the chin better. Maybe I'm old-fashioned. ;)
  18. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    I've read the Japanese where actually ahead of the Germans on the theory behind the bomb. They also had access to heavy water in Korea.
  19. DBWI AHC: Make "Mad Men" a good show

    OOC: Bumping this because there's more AH posters and content than ever before, especially ones that deal with pop culture, and it's been nearly a decade longer into the "golden age of television" to the extent that Mad Men has been over for six years already.
  20. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    From my own ignorant perspective if there was a POD of 1945 when the effects of the massive overuse of the rail system because of WW II became too much of strain for the existing railways there was a program for the federal government to help finance the rebuilding of the rail network and in...
