  1. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    True, if Warwick and Edward never ‘break up’ then Isabel would be a good English proxy.
  2. WI: Martin van Buren vs. Henry Clay vs. John Tyler in 1844?

    I think you're too quick to dismiss Lewis Cass as a running mate for Van Buren, as Michigan is very much a western state rather than a northern one in this era.
  3. What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    I can't lie I'm the slightest bit out of my comfort zone- I'm a lot more well read on the institutional side of Church and the phanariotes than the actual events of the Greek revolution itself, so the conclusions I draw are from a few cursory trawls through Wikipedia. Please let me know if there...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The A15 is going to be proof that anything with a Liberty engine will be a dog unworthy of significant production.
  5. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    I think there’s a decent chance if he hasn’t met Elizabeth yet. Or if negotiations happen while Warwick’s still handling the last Lancastrians up north, who knows who the bride would be. Also, arranging Edward’s marriage while Warwick is otherwise occupied would be a good way for Edward to show...
  6. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    ...up a duke as well and his neices are likely to take the places of the Woodville girls ttl, and if sending one daughter means he's able to have a *royal* duke as son in law......well not feeling him not doing it. Edward likely insists on it anyway. But if you really want Isabel to make a...

  8. SEAD without anti radiation missiles [ 1970 to 1991]

    That's a tough question and the answer is 'it depends'. I'm not going to tell you that SAMs are better, Australia deliberately eschewed SAMs because they lack flexibility. However for a first world country with high education standards the talent pool for finding fighter pilots is quite deep...
  9. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    I read your post, and at the end of it you were wondering about consequences for Italian unification. Maybe Dresden goes slightly better for Napoleon and much worse for the Austrians. Perhaps the Austrians then work on flipping Murat? I could see Murat's Neapolitan forces pinning down the army...
  10. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Namco is still expanding its entertainment empire in Denver by purchasing Elitch Gardens and the naming rights to Mile High Stadium. The deep pockets of a guy like Pete Coors helps Namco a ton. Yup. The rest of NCB's labels will likely be gobbled by Berkshire Hathaway with Ron Miller in charge.

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Maybe Edward actually marries is French proxy here?
  12. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    I can't see Warrick sending either of his daughters to a nunnery, when he could gain political clout from a marriage.
  13. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Was it unclear than I meant that ATL-USA woudl be richer and more inward looking than OTL-USA, i.e. it is a relative comparison? Obviously, yes as a non-aligned country, the USA seems to itself to be the same, however, from our perspective then they are going down a different path. Why a...
  14. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Reboost, of course--aerodynamic drag is going to pull objects like that down fast, especially since an empty fuel tank tends to have a high area:mass ratio. It would probably start to cut into the Shuttle payload budget too much to lift the things to a longer-term 400+-km orbit, so I don't...
  15. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Remember reading a Lancastrian victory TL (George and Edward IV killed at Tewkesbury, her dad survives) where she wound up married to Jasper Tudor. And another where George also dies somehow and she gets married to Antony Wydeville. But I'm guessing neither of those is possible here
  16. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    So, what if due to having both Edward and Edmund on the field (let's say Edmund is huge like Edward) the Battle of Towton is an even bigger win for the Yorkists? There's still some Lancastrian support up north, so Warrick spends his OTL years chasing them down and squashing any Lancastrian...
  17. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Considering it's a hinging design I think stiffening was implied even in a vacuum the act of opening and closing the doors is going to stress the hinge points significantly.
  18. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Most likely a nunnery, otherwise her cousin George.
  19. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    @FalconHonour's tree from the same prompt has Isabel marrying Henry Stafford. (That's what @CaptainShadow quoted) But for my tree, I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions?
  20. Heraclius tries to take Ctesiphon

    Hell no the reason why heraclius made the treaty so ligth to kavad II comapred to the damage the sasanids did was because his empire was in the brink of exhaustion heraciius would need years to consolidate the regions which some had been 20 years out of imperial rule He was no in no condition...
