  1. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Pretty sure that only works for equatorial orbits. Be of some use for midlatitude orbits, and useless for polar ones.
  2. Map Thread XX

    Had this map sitting around on my hard drive and decided to go finish it up. Almost there, minus the key and description. The title is "2040 from 2020," basically my rough overview of how the world might look in 2040 from a vantage point at the end of 2020. I will not be commenting on any...

  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    It's proving to be a maintenance hog, so it's reputation isn't likely to be much better than OTL.

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    That's why I'm trying to specify the cause. You have revolts that were clearly aiming at separatism/restoring the Byzantine order Kladas early on for example had started life as a soldier for the Despotate of Morea, you also have uprisings triggered by other reasons.
  6. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Problem with Beria is that even if you ignore somehow the facts of him being a child rapist , is that everyone else in the leadership feared/hated him. None of them would believe they would die a natural death with him as leader so they would get their retaliation in first. Stalin's death...
  7. Who would win in a duel? The IJN Yamato or the USS Montana?

    They did a retraining across the fleet after 2nd Guadalcanal so gunnery/radar/radio mates knew how to correct that fault. That was also the only time that particular issue occured during the entire service life of the class.
  8. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    Post Desert Storm all the training I observed was oriented towards destroying the North Korean Army & regime. The exercises used maps of Korea, NKPA OB & equipment, and were labeled Korea. After Bush sr left the Presidency the intensity was dialed down but when I retired in 1997 we were...
  9. Who would win in a duel? The IJN Yamato or the USS Montana?

    My thought precisely when I saw the title. How does a battleship ‘take 10 paces?’ And if they do do, they better turn in different directions. Otherwise, they would probably run into each other. And isn’t it supposed to be ‘take one shot’? Fire off a 5”/12.7 cm, they hit, respectively, cause...

    Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Service says, "the brave German soldiers who swam the river Bug to warn the Red Army about the invasion projected for the next day were shot as enemy agents." but there's no citation for this and I really cannot find much more concrete information about this except for a series of pages with the...

    Margareta domina II: A Margaret of Austria Re-do

    Yep, let it never be said that giovanna did not at least do her duty as queen. But being widowed for a third time is pretty rough. And Maria is happy enough in Hungary (and Bohemia). Vladislaus lets her kinda do her thing when it comes to the kids and her household so that's really nice. Thank you!
  12. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    He also wanted to make big cuts to the military

    Margareta domina II: A Margaret of Austria Re-do

    Well, again, her situation is not too bad, as Ferdinand ensured in the marriage negotiations that she would be well provided for in the case of her widowhood. Of course the separation from her son is painful, but Jan August takes an interest in his mother as he grows older and they're on pretty...

    Margareta domina II: A Margaret of Austria Re-do

    The "Little Naples" refers pretty specifically to Giovanna's court, and as such it does not continue much after her death; future Polish monarchs may marry Italian partners and bring that influence back though, but I also can't promise anything lol.

  16. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Beria wanted to reform the USSR and achieve détente with the West. He might have become a good leader of the country, but at the expense of dozens or maybe hundreds of women falling prey to this sexual predator. The question is if this will prevent greater evils from taking place...

    I am curious if anyone know of any books/material about the Netherlands post Napoleon and about the Belgian revolution.
  18. Slave rebellion during the Mexican American war possible?

    He did, but he left the battle because of the coup in Mexico city, He won in buena vista. And Mexico is still not has it's armies , united, if he manage to score a few decicive victories in the early part of the war, the United states will have to face the full strength of the Mexican Army as...
