    Map Thread XX

    Since it's been the 1950s for roughly 60 years, meaning everywhere would look retrofuturistic like The Jetsons?

    Without the Ottomans, what happens to the Mamluks?

    EU4 dictates that they would colonize Australia. No but for real, the Mameluke institution was able to survive as a kind of state-within-a-state in the Ottoman Empire, so I don’t think they were necessarily doomed to fail in any way, even if European penetration into the Indian Ocean did hurt...
  3. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    If I get it correctly... it basically proposal for making massive wall of ice?
  4. AHC: Help with rules for a fictional sport

    Yeah, the thread's pretty much inactive.
  5. Without the Ottomans, what happens to the Mamluks?

    Let's say that the Ottomans get taken out by Tamerlane and/or a more successful Hungarian Crusade. Mamluk Egypt obviously doesn't get conquered by them, but I have to wonder what would become of it. My general impression is that the Mamluks were on the way out by the 16th century owing to the...
  6. Heraclius tries to take Ctesiphon

    If you are talking about a siege yes if you mean the war no There is no way even if heraclius dies in early 628 that the sassanids would have won the defeats from 622 to 627 were just to much war fatigue , the houses hated the sha generals defecting etc As for not taking ctesiphon I don't...
  7. Have Triumph Motors continue to be a viable company up to the present day.

    Bought by (in best hope order) 1. Toyota - Rebadged versions of standard Toyota models and use the MG/Truimph Brands in the way that Scion is used today 2. BMW - Specialty sports car division focused on roadsters (Miata's with a British accent and BMW engineering a la MINI) 3. VW - Rebadges and...
  8. Have Triumph Motors continue to be a viable company up to the present day.

    Actually, I did start a thread a month or so ago where I tried to postulate a scenario in which MG, Triumph and other selected BL brands might have done well together and still be part of a successful combine (which I called JRT for Jaguar Rover Triumph), even today. It was borderline ASB...
  9. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    So this thread seems to have been hijacked back to HSR. As JohnRankins said, HSR is useless without the local rail net being in place. That said, we had that rail net back in the first half of the 20th century with the interurban lines. I case in point, from fiction, is in Ragtime Tateh and...
  10. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    ...I’m not 100% sure about having a good answer that would not be too cruel. IMO, there are actually 2 questions: 1. How to convince/force a peasant (*) to become a factory worker. 2. How to make him a high quality worker. #1 is rather difficult in a scenario where the government is trying to...
  11. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    This dude's got helpful voices in the head huh? Seems like hereditary Schizophrenia. The Komnenians, especially TTL, seem to be best described by that quote about the Targaryens in GoT- 'The Gods toss a coin every time one is born'. In any case cool piece of writing @Eparkhos .
  12. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Shape Of Water won Best Picture that year, a movie about fucking a fish. So your 'woke' theory holds no weight whatsoever.
  13. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    I'll go with an offbeat pick. The IJN Hosho, Japan's first purpose-built aircraft carrier. She managed to survive the war and served for a year as a repatriation ship before being decommissioned and scrapped. In an ATL, Hosho somehow winds up in Chinese Nationalist service after the war...
  14. Map Thread XX

    Sort of, in terms of 1950s aesthetics. Of course there's no nuclear war or anything close to it.

    So this is basically Fall Out?

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    My guess would be a center-left to center-right big tent party.
  17. Impact of an early unified Nepal in the 1400s

    I would like to add that i don't find it it likely that the ming dynasty would do much about it there is a lot of debate on how much influence the ming has over tibet but i don't think the ming dynasty would go out of its way to invade tibet if the nepalese conquered it but then again the rule...
  18. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    Pretty much what 617sqn at least was doing after D Day if not before.

    Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    Hood being around would be great. Also, not fitting the thread but Agincourt. Come on man, 7 turreted BB.
  20. Fashion without ww1

    As with WW II the rationing of fabrics for example less pleats in women's dresses gave way to a more simplified lines and reduced the number of undergarments used. Without WW I the trends would still happen but at a slower pace and it would have been because of how fabrics started to be...
