  1. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Swap Danzig for Konigsberg. Problem solved.
  2. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    What happened with GM is it bought up a lot of light rail that was already dying and shut that down and replaced it with buses . One of the problems is that a lot of that light rail was price controlled by the local government and they never seemed to want to raise the price over a nickel ( a...
  3. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    They should have started that way, rather than gradually ramping up as they did. The U.S. should have flat told the Sovs (& PRC), if you have guys on airbases & at AAA sites, they're going to get killed, because we're damn sure not putting them off limits (contrary to OTL ROE). The U.S. should...

    AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    So the theory basically sees itself as a 'Soviet Onion spreads communism relentlessly thing.' Also it is clear that you're clarifying that the CCP and USSR had bad blood before the Sino-Soviet split, which to me seems odd. As I said, revolution spreads only when succesful, as I explained with...

    Plausibility Check: New Netherland Settler Colony?

    Yes that is possible. It is also in extremely unlikely that if they did rebel that they would join the United States or whatever you calling it. If they did it would be military annexation or purchase. If they did they would likely be out populated by the Americans and assimilated. The America...
  6. Can you think of any way where the CSA and Britain go to war and the CSA doesn’t win, but survives the encounter like the USA did in the War of 1812?

    So your suggesting the British form an alliance with Mexico, land an army at Matamoros, and invade Texas? The Mexican Army of the late 19th Century was used for internal political control, and fighting Indians. Díaz era[edit] General and President Porfirio Díaz, another hero of the Battle...
  7. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    "GTDG"'s? What are they meant to be?
  8. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Aero torque definitely happens as you try and react the loads on the solar arrays. Here's a nifty animation for the early days of Freedom that gives an exaggerated view of all the different modes that get activated during routine operations:
  9. Plausibility Check: New Netherland Settler Colony?

    You can add on Pennsylvania Dutch which mostly came from the later waves of Dutch and south western German immigrants in the 17th and 18th centery which has also declined by modern day but still makes up a small percent of the population in Eastern Pennsilvania close to the central New Jersey...

    AH Title and Description Game

    ...getting frustrated because after having written enough chapters for three books, his experimental medieval fantasy saga was getting nowhere. She (*) then goes on to tell about the preliminary talks between Martin and HBO, the ways GRRM brought in his own ideas and the haggling over which...
  11. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    A common joke recorded by KGB operatives recently declassified: Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Nikita Krushchev, and Leonid Brezhnev, and Grigory Romanov are all travelling together in a railway carriage. Unexpectedly, the train stops. Lenin orders a Subbotnik to fix the crisis. Somehow this...
  12. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    ...who stand up to 9 feet tall, dominate the planet but must use respirators to breathe in our atmosphere. Their atmosphere reacts violently with *any* form of gamma radiation, exploding with even minute contact. Protagonist is one of the New Men with far more resistance to radiation than...
  13. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Admiral Matt, You are absolutely correct in your post of the economic effects of OTL. I live just outside Atlanta. Georgia (and Florida) is one of the few exceptions to the rule of southern recovery. We got lucky as our rail hub city transformed into an air hub. Hartsfield-Jackson airport is...
  14. AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    And 200+ Australian and a few New Zealand lives as well... It split Australian society (nearly all because of the use of conscripts to fight in south Vietnam) and divided Australia until 20 years later...
  15. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    That's intriguing. When might such a revival happen, and under what conditions?
  16. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Pounds to peanuts that if Kat's mum (Suse Rosa) had have lived, Grandmother and Granddaughter might have found themselves with a lot of traits in common. Of course, only speculation on my part, but sometimes these traits skip a generation before surfacing again.
  17. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    I'm having this odd feeling that Poland will once again have to endure border corrections as recompense for the German war effort to liberate it from the Soviet boot.
  18. AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    No, it didn't. It succeeded well before the intervention of the fUSSR in Cuban politics. The Batista regime was overthrown in 1959, the Soviets don't become interested in Cuba until ~1962 and that was at Cuban request. In 1960 Castro visited Washington and requested US aid to reform the...

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

    Sorry about the double post, but here's the Disneytown locations that I would like to see: St. Louis, MO Dallas, TX San Jose, CA Spokane, WA Phoenix, AZ Milwaukee, WI Colorado Springs, CO
  20. Without the 1963 coup in south Vietnam, how would it affect south vietnam?

    The fact is he is not as pro American as you think he is. that is why the US organized a coup to depose him. Which resulted into chaos and broke their political base in South Vietnam which resulted into the north winning. The economy during his term is getting on better shape. South Vietnam was...
