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

    Starting to wonder if Gerry Anderson or Sylvia Anderson or even both are going to end up being assimilated by the Borg hired on to Disney. Could we see Space 1999 Eagles make a comeback? or Thunderbirds?
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I find it difficult to see Rhodes replacing Dieppe (or a Dieppe equivalent), since the Canadians in the UK are still likely to want to do something (God help them), and an attack on an isolatable island garrisoned by Italians (Rhodes) is not going to provide the exact same experience in terms of...

    Heavy frigates compared to Razees

    It's a bit of a matter of semantics. So to start from the simple questions. Could the US 44 gun frigates carry 32pdr guns? Probably. IMS their 24pdr was 50cwt. So as soon as you get a 32pdr 50cwt gun, which the US liners used IMS, no reason you can't switch the one for the other. How would...
  4. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    Yes and no. As a longtime motorcycle rider, who likes her sporty bikes, and has read up on the subject: The Honda CB750 when it was released in 1969, had pretty much the same horsepower as the BSA Rocket 3, and Triumph Trident Triples. They also handled better than the Honda. The thing is...

    Fear Nothing But God: A Graphical History

    Relating to that; Considering that it's two women being mentioned, and TTL's relatively accelerated progress (I think?) on gay rights, is this a Royal Wedding of Amelie and Josephine?

    Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    For that matter, if a British sub takes her place and scores hits, the torps will likely actually do something.

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

    Would be be a more edutainment-focused version of it or would it more-or-less still focus on the zany hijinx of the film's cast?

    Poor Boris. Also, Kardashev somehow still being alive...
  10. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    I’d just as soon not fight the wars at all, unless the USA is actually under threat/attack.

    Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    It would take some country with a larger navy, with SW Pacific bases, and a desire to expand their empire. 1900 to 1914 (besides UK and France) that would include Germany and on paper, the US. I can't see Russia jumping in. Austria-Hungary had their hands full in Europe and no bases anywhere...

    Album Covers from an alternate universe

    Depeche Mode - Self-Title, 2010. Depeche Mode, also known as the Grey Album, is the ninth studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released on 5 October 2010 by Mute Records. It was the band's first album following the reunion of Depeche Mode with no tour in support in...
  14. WI: British defeat at the Great Siege of Gibraltar

    When France and Spain joined the American Revolutionary War, they weren't in it out of simple altruism. They wanted to make gains at Britain's expense. One of Spain's primary war aims was the recapture of Gibraltar, lost to Great Britain during the War of the Spanish Succession. So in June 1779...
  15. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    This is a nebulous question that defies a proper answer - my gut feel is that in a pacific environment the IJN and USN carriers were better ships than the Armoured carriers and carried more aircraft (for example Victorious carried about 36 and Indomitable 55 during Mid 42 using the RN practices...

    Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    What exactly is the scenario? Replace US OOB with UK under exact same OTL conditions? Can the Brits read the Japanese code? What are the goals for each side? OTL or new? Brits and Brit planes at Midway? Does the USS Nautilus influence the battle by having the IJN Arashi lead Brits to their...

    A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    I understand why he wouldn’t ask for more land. Never questioned it. Glad you didn’t make him gobble up Mesopotamia or something. Anyone with a brain would be able to see that anything more than this would over extend the eastern empire. What he got was pretty damn good. Worthy of a triumph.
  18. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    To me the important question is; will Italy flip on Stalin if Joe gets too entrapped? Will Japan see an opportunity for revenge? I see both as more likely than American intervention. The A Bomb, in my opinion, is something that is inevitable. I could see Stalin getting couped finally after an...
  19. Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.

    If you have some criticism, let me know. I'm especially curious if my choice of authors of TTL matches the contents and styles of writting I assigned to them.
