    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Reread my earlier posts From the Cambridge English Dictionary: "to change something from one position to another, or to exchange the positions of two things:" Again, read my post, didn't you read where I said he was transposing incorrectly to Brolin? Again read my earlier answers, these...
  3. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I think that one of the unintended consequences of the Germans presence in Argentina is that there is going to be a major British investment in the Falklands Islands with a field station for signal intelligence, a major airfield for air reconnaissance and refueling, and improve port facilities...
  4. Which countries would have been most likely to fall to Communism during the 20th Century?

    Pre WWII, I think a significant factor for a potential Communist Revolution succeeding would be either isolation or defensible borders, since all the powerful Capitalist states are going to intervene to crush the revolution (as they attempted to against the Soviet Union). The Soviets benefited...
  5. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    The PLAN only started operating ship-based helicopters in 1985 with Siping, the only Type 053H1Q frigate. This was followed by the Type 051 Jinan and then the Type 052 class destroyers in 1994 and the Type 053H2G frigates in 1992. Given the state of Chinese shipbuilding in the 1970s and the...
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    ...You got me. I have no reason other then popular demand or some coked up exec wanting it. It would regardless work best not as a film, but a book setting, whether as a literature book, or comic book, maybe even a tabletop game. That would generally free it from the problems a film can have...
  7. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    The U.S. actually had a couple diifferent systems designed for that sort of the mission. One of them, the Azon (guided bomb package with a choice of 1,000 or 2,000 pound bombs) was in operation service in June of 1944 (first attempted combat use was on June 8th, but was scrubbed due to cloud...
  8. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    This. Definitely this. The 'that'll do-ism' phrase that was coined by the three Top Gear turnips to describe the attitude among management, unions and the workforce in the 1970s is absolutely true. Even if I hate Clarkson and co. And it was rooted in a deep seated arrogance in British...
  9. The Forge of Weyland

    How long before RAF Bomber Command decides to lend a hand (or likely gets bullied into it by Churchill)? I can see three options. 1. Direct tactical support either of the front line of of operational targets further back. I consider this to be unlikely. Bomber Command has no training in this...
  10. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Not unlike a certain young Kommenoi in another world, David do have his demons. My expectations have been raised, i do not regret not one bit asking you, just like everybody, to use a narrative sometimes. A excellent update, like always. May young David start a new golden age for Trebizond from...

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    In the same world as my previous tree: Richard, Earl of Warwick (1428-1487) m. 1436 Anne Beauchamp (1426-1492) 1) Lady Isabel Neville (1451-1476) m 1469 Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham (b.1455) Humphrey, Earl Stafford(b.1470) Anne (b.1472) Miscarriage (1473) Isabel (b.1475) Henry (b.and...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Malta and Cyprus probably wouldn't join, they were neutral in the cold war. Also a huge amount of the labor force in Western Europe comes from Eastern Europe. This would significantly weaken Western Europe.
  13. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Again, not arbiter of Woke. But, are we talking the Radio series, the TV series or the movie? Because each ought to be judged by it’s own merits or lack thereof. As to Tonto (rather than Tanto), I would understand that is his name, which probably would not be in Spanish. It would probably be in...

    A New Millennium

    Oh, sorry, I meant it as in the placement of pictures - lots of authors here give their TLs a textbook style, but I think this one's more faithful to the textbook look BTW, very cool timeline! I hope you take it far

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

    I have no idea if the monorail trains have official names OTL, but I would be rather disappointed if they aren't named TTL after the first Thomas & Friends event. Just looked it up and the monorail alone runs twelve engines! The narrow-gauge railway another five. I was going to suggest naming...

    More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Yeah that what helicopter carrier do. The soviets did look into getting a full LHD based on the Kievs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_11780 but according to the Russian wiki it got killed so as to not compete for construction slips with actual aircraft carrier projects

    A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Robert Moses embracing mass transit so the poors didn’t clutter up his streets because he learns of and understands induced demand theory is a plausible turning point. Moses was the foremost influence on American highway and city planning for nearly half a century. If he builds all his...
  19. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    A thread being sidelined by posts not dealing with the title? Unheard of. Exceptional. That never happens. 😁 Not impossible to fix. Street Fighter: The Movie had many of the things you mention but it was a moderate hit, I believe. Doing similar with to that could have done well. I watched some...
  20. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    But those are all essentially anti-submarine vessels, the helicopters esp Except for the IVan Rugov but it hardly had any helicopters
