  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    ITTL the A15 is going to be used for home service and training much like the Covenator was OTL. This is not such a bad thing. Until 1942 there was a possibility that the Germans would make short work of the Russians and try an unmentionable sea mammal soon after. Britain needs some tanks at home...
  2. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918
    Threadmarks: In which McKenna discovers that in politics gravity can drag you upwards

    If you wanted a new leader you could be forgiven for thinking that the first place to start was with the loose group of uncouponed Liberals who had made it through in 1918. But they were scattered and disorganised. Most survived through hard campaigning or in most cases, plenty of luck. Some...

    Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    The Greeks would probably welcome the French as liberators (considering that the Greeks revolted against the Ottomans 2 decades later), unlike the Egyptians, who weren't really all that interested in liberation themselves. Looting would probably cause some irritation, but it would probably be...

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

    So how do you think Disney should handle this ITTL?

    Triumph of the House of Orange - An alternate Dutch War of Independence

    Apologies for the slow updates so far, I was doing more reading and decided I had to tweak what I already wrote, we should see updates pick up the pace soon. We'll move out of OTL history soon enough.

    Map Thread XX

    Hopefully the author doesn't browse this site, but to be quite frank I'm pretty tired of this map series. It's decently good looking from a design standpoint, but the fundamental concept is pretty dumb, a lot of the border choices are way too convergent or bad, and it just feels way overindulgent.
  7. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I've worked with Dragados a couple of times and I have colleagues who have worked with them a lot more. If they think a short tempered American smacking a table is going to make the slightest bit of difference to Dragados then Disney are in for some very nasty surprises when they get close to...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    There's already a canon Bataid flag that Hats made a long while back (should be in the wiki if you're interested), where animal symbols were omitted due to the Bataids' more conservative/orthodox interpretation of Islam. I still wish we got that double-headed eagle drawn in Arabic calligraphy...
  9. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars
    Threadmarks: Part 2-29

    …The intervention of the Greeks was the signal for British and French units in the Middle Eastern theater to advance. The passes had cleared and preparations had been made over the winter. Positions painstakingly scouted over the course of months were hit with precisely planned assaults backed...
  10. WI : Constantinople resisting and early fall of the Crimean khanate

    Even without the Ottoman backing, Tsardom could not conquer the Crimean Khanate in the XVI century (could not do this even in the late XVII): its armies simply did not posses the needed mobility and the numbers and you have to eliminate the Livonian War to allow a complete concentration of the...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Well one solution i can think for aluminium production in greece is basically making a LARCO in 1930s with an powerplant attached to it with it been on the coast in larymna lignite needed for the powerplant should be cheap to ship from lets say alivery(although the straits of negroponte could be...
  13. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    If that were true, people in other countries would have fried brains. The actual theory is that the part of the brain that deals with risk-taking finishes developing at 25, and that’s why people are less likely to drive drunk at 21 and less likely to crash their car at 25.
  14. Who would win in a duel? The IJN Yamato or the USS Montana?

    The half dozen Essex class carriers hanging around the area. For a serious answer, my money's on the Montana, mostly due to electronics, fire control, and the fact that by the time any possible duel can occur, the Yamato class is going to have an absolute shit crew by comparison.
  15. movie “The Poseidon Adventure” as metaphor for 1970s loss of confidence in authority?

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Of course we are not. It's well known that the worst spats are between siblings. :p One could argue some of the trouble stemming in the house of Osman itself. Not many dynasties treated dynastic succession as a blood sport to that extend. Or for that matter take that story about how Mehmed II...
  19. movie “The Poseidon Adventure” as metaphor for 1970s loss of confidence in authority?

    I’m not saying the movie is a cause. I’m saying it’s pretty good metaphor. And it might give some people a language. I mean, people frequently pick up on movie lines they like.
