  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    No facts can reduce Soviets' will to claim they did all the fighting.

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

    The Tiki Craze should be dying down right now, but that doesn't mean Disney is going to ignore the prospect of building a Disney property in one of the best tourist destinations for very long. Although the only major difference is that they have Disneytown Honolulu as a partner to ITTL Aulani as...
  3. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Would the Mamelukes in the Guards be replaced by Greek "Companions"? I suspect Napoleon might take a harsh line on looting- he still saw himself as heavily a man of the Enlightenment at this time, and would probably restrain things , though artifacts might end up in the Louvre. Greece's only...
  4. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The ghost of Mr. Muir would like a word with you about that.
  5. Without the 1963 coup in south Vietnam, how would it affect south vietnam?

    Do not forget Mme. Diem. IIRC she was called the Dragon Lady and made Imelda Marcos the shoe queen look like Mother Teresa. Also, IIRC, his brother was also a work of klepto-art. Yes Diem was competent, but biased towards his own community like the Assad's have been and he was clearly...
  6. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Napoleon and the french did not mean to "march" to India. Their intent was by taking Egypt, to threaten the indian ocean and the british possessions and link up with Tipu Sultan and the Mysorean kingdom. (the Anglo Mysorean wars A short hop over the mediterrean, overland in the nile delta and...

    Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    Wholeheartedly agree on both of these. Vanguard was the last of her breed... for her to have been scrapped 16 years after completion was a travesty. And Goeben/Yavuz? Holy shit... seldom have two vessels, Goeben and the ill-fated Breslau/Midilli made such an impact on history (for better or for...
  8. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    The Kinross and West Perthshire by-election caused by the death of Gilmour Leburn (Conservative) on 15 August 1963, was won by the Conservative candidate, George Younger. (1) The Liberals went up from third to second place. The Dundee West by-election caused by the death of John...
  9. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Yep - that was my point. Anything not aimed at his European enemies was silly.
  10. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    It’s now thread marked. Thanks for the reminder.
  11. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    You could say the exact same thing about the Egyptian Campaign. His plan was "invade Egypt, something something Alexander the Great vs the Persians, win!"
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    That was in Central Asia...
  13. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    The Sino-Soviet split (or the Tito-Stalin one) seems closer to the mark, but yeah.
  14. Photos of "Twilight of the Red Tsar"

    Ngo Dinh Diem, the dictatorial leader of South Vietnam who is credited by many for eventually paving the way for the country to be an "asian tiger," he is a controversial figure esepcially given his catholic bias and his habit of egging on severe sinophobia towards immigration.
  15. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    For now, I think you're building the biggest hammer you can, knowing you'll need to use it somewhere. But the theatre for deployment is as likely to be determined as a reaction to something the enemy initiates (perhaps unexpectedly), as it is because of some grand strategic vision of your own.

    Photos from Alternate Worlds II (read FAQ first)

    I meant as in CGI 3D.

    Photos of the New Order

    Soldiers of the Imperial airborne brigades, 2017 Most people do not remember an era when Russia was one nation rather than a geographical description containing various countries.
  18. The Forge of Weyland
    Threadmarks: 28th May 1940

    ...they would advance to support one of the armoured infantry battalions, while the Sabre tanks made sure no panzers would try and outflank them. ********* The report from the Admiralty that some of their destroyers had engaged small ships carrying troops apparently to Zeeland had taken a...

    The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    Oh jeez, I'm sorry, I understood the opposite of what you had asked for, LOL; hmm Wendell just posted the latest Q-BAM patch above, I hope this help you

    AHC: no unification of China by Qin

    At best, you can make the Han people not spread down south. Keeping the different Han states divided in any meaningful way is next-to-impossible because there are inevitably going to be one or two major powers fighting over the Yellow River; whatever states are on their periphery will either be...
