  1. AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    Easy answer - we backed Iraq when they invaded Iran, does that count?
  2. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    Most non Japanese manufacturers of sports bikes failed to see what a quantum leap the Honda CB750 was and tried to beat it with mildly improved versions of the same old bikes they had been making rather than going back to the drawing board and designing a better superbike.
  3. TL-191: After the End

    Which country/ faction controls the Suez Canal by 2021, as well as the canal's history in TTL?
  4. Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    Regarding the phasing out of higher denomination bills I've heard there have been plans to phase out the 500 Euro Note for the same reason. Supposedly they got nicknamed "Bin Ladens" because they became so favored by various unsavory sorts. Since you can fit the same value of 500 Euro notes in a...
  5. AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    If the Iranian revolution happened in 1962-1964 instead of the 1970s? Khomeini led a protest movement against the Shah's reforms around that time that led to his international exile. Other groups participated in the unrest. So basically if there's an Iranian revolution pre-Vietnam escalation.
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    and not just that, it is a trainride, so if thomas goes out of fashion, they can replace the rolling stock with another trainride
  7. Ulyanovsk

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

    I mean I think one is a good deal more absurd than the other. Just because Hitler irrationally fervently believed in final victory in 1943 doesn’t mean he would become convinced that the Soviets were plotting with Mussolini to overthrow the Reich. Stalin’s failure to predict Hitler accurately...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    So did anyone else catch the Season One finale stinger that was in this week’s episode?
  9. What if America banned guns instead of repealing prohibition?

    A lot of Americans were still living in rural areas and were quite poor, if they didn't fish or shoot they would would largely have to forego animal protein. practically every kid had a .22 to either hunt for the pot or to kill pests. Dad would likely hunt for Deer for food. The cost of a...
  10. Lascaris

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    My ancestors in the Agrafa mountains were most definitely living to the north of Attica and most definitely were anything but "loyal", there is a reason my village frex was burned 7 times in various revolts and uprisings, while the area remained outside effective Ottoman control into...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I quite like that film to be honest . . . . . a 'shock' ending to the film which I wasn't expecting and caught me out. Would moving it back, say releasing it five years later help? It might be the fact that there were too many children based dystopian epics being launched in such a small time...
  12. What if Harold Godwinson kept his promise and supported William the Conqueror to the English throne?

    That is exactly what I am thinking. The culture of England would be very different obviously, but as you point out, William would still devote more time to his French holdings as in OTL. Maybe in this case, the Saxons in England adopt certain things that the Normans bring such as building stone...
  13. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    ...active army strength of less than 13,000 men - only a tenth of that of tiny Belgium! - and even worse logistics. A crash buildup is going to take *a lot* of time. King Gustaf and Wallenberg were all too painfully aware of this. Which raises a second question... 2) How are the Swedes in any...
  14. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    Belly tanks were proposed for the Israeli Super Phantoms. Nothing came of the proposals due to competition with the F-15.
  15. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    It will be hard to top the craziness of OTL with Gremlins 2 as demonstrated in the wonderful Key&Peel sketch:

    What if America banned guns instead of repealing prohibition?

    99.99% unlikely but It's repealed within 5 years and I strongly suspect there's an amendment that essentially works to make things like prohibition/narcotics laws/future gun laws or other forms of regulaitons on individual behavior essentially illegal for any level of government when it's tossed...
  17. Q-Bam Historical Map Thread

    Has anyone done a patch series for British India yet? I noticed that a lot of the most updated 1800s maps still have major inaccuracies, such as the complete absence of Nagpur State and Nagpur Province before 1853 and '61 respectively, as well as little if any attention payed to the changing...
  18. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Here's another flop/bomb: Ender's Game, an adaptation which scored only 125 million USD on a budget of 115 million.

  20. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    The F-4 is the iconic fighter of the '60s, IMO. A lot of people think she's ugly, but IMO she's got a brutish beauty. How could she have been improved? Starting in the design phase, & accepting that the primary characteristics (length, span, mission) and most of her appearance (droop nose &...
