  1. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    They could do both!

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Why is Bluhdorn so interestEd in a motion picture instead of another series? Cost? Awards? Wouldn’t a new Star Trek series bring in more cash from advertising and syndication than a movie? Or is the movie a lead in for a new TV show?

    Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    I suppose you could argue a friendly Republic being a thorn in the Ottoman Empire's side would be quite valuable. And it would have a lot of propaganda value to liberate the "birthplace of democracy." Considering there was some amount of British sympathy for the Greek rebels IOTL, it might be...
  4. WI - a different electoral system for the Netherlands

    It can evolve over time. Belgium in 1949 (map by our very own @Nanwe): https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/otl-election-maps-resources-thread.210795/page-315#post-14013399 Belgium in 2019 (from wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Belgian_federal_election Though, if...
  5. What if Harold Godwinson kept his promise and supported William the Conqueror to the English throne?

    The Wittangamot would not have elected William the Bastard king without a sword at their throats even with Godwinson's support. If Harold proved to be a traitor some other candidate would be selected, probably one of his brothers.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    "Vanishing Point" 1971 A commercial flop when released. Produce then release the film later on in the 70's when 'Smokey and the Bandit' and 'Convoy' had taken off.
  7. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    It will be late 1941 at least until Bomber command 'comes of age' so to speak. It will take that long to learn what does and does not work. ITTL there is no Professor Lindemann promoting dehousing with spurious statistical evidence of it's effectiveness.
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Amy/Rosy should have increased importance in early Sonic games. Having her be playable with the Piko-Piko hammer would be fun. And it'd give her the chance to be something more than either a damsel in distress or Sonic's loony fan with an unrequited crush.
  9. Charlamagne dies in the winter of 771-2

    Well, Queen Widow Bertha is still alive, she could take regency for one or both grandsons. She was the reason her sons did not go to war one against the other and also the one who brokered peace with the Longbards.
  10. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Well you can't always rely on Texas or any state, given it's very loose sets of rules against faithless electors. In the Confederacy there are no rules binding the electors to vote for a specific candidate, and it's generally seen that there were to be difficulties in getting almost 32,000...
  11. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Can't march to India from Greece (granted, you can't from Egypt but Napoleon didn't know that). What is Nap's end game here? In OTL he wanted to cripple the British Empire and perhaps cause Muslim India (still only partly under the Raj's sway) to rise against the British. What does he get out...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Originally I was thinking about a pair of C5 cruisers possibly with US made guns, these was the evolution of Algerie with three triples on the same displacement that would then develop into Saint Louis class. But excellent though Algerie was there were reasons not to go for it in the 1930s, if...

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    The thing can be broken at the quick-change barrel and handled as a line load. These guys were dropping with the M1919 air cooled Browning machine gun, CH. That hunk of iron weighed at least 30 lbs.
  14. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    So it definitely makes sense for the Germans to stick up for the Ottomans. However, can they actually do this? The British are still blockading them and starving them toward revolution; the war must come to an end, and Germany needs a way to force Britain to make these concessions. The British...
  15. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Hello. so a book called Christians and Jews in the Ottoman Empire mentioned that Napoleon originally had the idea to invade ottoman Greece instead of Egypt. what impacts would this have on history? Could Napoleon had succeeded with his forces against the Turks? Would Greeks and other peoples...
  16. President Stassen - in 1968?

    So, Harold Stassen, the famous liberal Republican politician turned joke perennial candidate from the 1952 presidential election onward, we all know him. But what if he made a comeback in 1958? That year, he tried to become the GOP gubernatorial candidate in Pennsylvania, but he was defeated in...
  17. White Aurora

    What if FDR died a year earlier?

    Dewey supported Truman's recognition of the State of Israel OTL, so same thing I think.
  18. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    Fer sher. Especially considering how paranoid films were at the time, everything from "Billy Jack" to "Capricorn One".
  19. WI - a different electoral system for the Netherlands

    So you want the Netherlands to use it's 1917 districtsystem or the system Belgium uses right now?
  20. What performance can a turboprop fighter of the late 1940s achieve?

    That's what I imagined. The Dark Shark strikes me as too complex; either use a turboprop or pure jet. (If you insist on a "booster", what about a liquid rocket in the tail? Fuelled by avgas or methanol.)
