    Map Thread XX

    why? this one's much less cursed. Unless you consider French New England cursed, in which case, ye lack tastes mate. Alcoholic maple syrup, now that's a worthy export.

    ww1 with Germany +; Russia combo

    Without a POD before 1900 I don't think it is a plausible thing. The fracture between Germany and Austria on one side and Russia on the other had become too deep. You'd need to sort things out between them in the Balkans in the late 19th century to maintain the 'Emperors League'. The problem is...
  3. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    Supposedly the Russians a couple years back found they still had a 1860's era monitor still afloat. It was a copy of one of the late ACW US monitor designs that the Russian built a number of. Over the years it's value as an actual warship waned and they turned it into a floating workshop to help...

    Demographics of a world without the Great War megathread

    Well Southern European Catholics were immigrating to Algeria in large numbers, Small population in Libya would make Italian majority a possibility, Rhodesia would get larger immigrant populations. And without the disruption of the world wars and the economic effects, there is the possibility of...

    Right, give me 800 cubic kilometres of holy water!
  6. What performance can a turboprop fighter of the late 1940s achieve?

    There is also the Ryan XF2R Darkshark which had a turboprop and a turbojet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_XF2R_Dark_Shark If that bird could have appeared earlier, in a different WW-2, what then? There may be niches where a turboprop could be favored for the fuel consumption advantage...
  7. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I still the idea of mighty as the star and sonic oringally being a nerd who unwitting being powered up by dr robotnick as part of a plan to discredit mighty and the chaotic. The nerdy sonic idea is kinda of clever because the voice of 90's sonic jealle white was also the voice of the bigest...
  8. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Well NII wasn't the idiot everyone makes him out to be, but it's pretty ASB then. Although in this story Stolypin is sidelined and Witte read as pretty starved for capable allies in what I read about him (granted, on what Google could turn up). So perhaps a needs must might make it somewhat...
  9. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    What did Mississippi and Florida do to lead them to being underrepresented in the electoral college to comedical levels?
  10. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Would it weaken western Europe? Definitely. Significantly though? Maybe less economic growth, especially in the UK and Ireland. What would be interesting to know though would be if the OTL decline in birth rates occurs. I assume it would in W Europe but in the Soviet Union it would be pretty...

    Map Thread XX

    A more close up of the New England from the last map. Tis very New English ol' chap, but I'm afraid these fellas speak French, not English as thou may think. The Republican and Democratic parties are both conservative and reactionary. The United Socialist been in charge since like the 1850s.
  12. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    Actually they mostly focus on the fact that the 1619 Project doesn't give enough credit to white people which is certainly an opinion. It is not a good critique and you can read it here.
  13. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Judging by Witte’s memoirs they disliked each other. So it would take a really strong monarch to make them into a team working to the same goal with a clear separation of their functions and alt-NII acting as a meaningful coordinator. Would this be ASB?

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Like anything else, if one wants a BAR derivative suitable for paratroops... Thou shalt make it a SAW and SAW nasty NAZIs with it. McP.
  15. WI: Henri de Guise survives

    Well, I would assume the latter really. I don't think even the Leaguers would find a female ruler palatable, Habsburg or no. And I know Henri has no shot of getting the throne unless he was willing to do so by right of total conquest. As much as I would love to see a plausible path to a Guise...

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Sultan Mahmud was considering striking directly at non-rebelling Greek communities until Çerkes Halil Efendi, the Sheikh ul-Islam at the time denied to approve the fatwa ordering to do so.
  17. Have Triumph Motors continue to be a viable company up to the present day.

    Maybe I’m more influenced by the British perception of Triumph which is as much a maker of saloons as sports cars. I can see them occupying a vaguely near premium niche a la VW, eventually. I think chucking Lotus into the mix would confuse things more tbh. The OTL MGF was derived from the fwd...
  18. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    I haven't read it, but I imagine their take is that it's reductionist and totally cuts the issue of class out of American history. That's a valid criticism, and one that a lot of socialist Americans would make about something similar in their society.
  19. What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Is the killing the Patriarch just too tempting and "gettable" a target for a Muslim-led government with pro-Muslim biases being stressed out by Christian rebels to avoid? I fear people of the Ottoman side had a gut feeling this would release their frustrations and regardless of his personal...
