  1. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    They did plan a Raid on New York, but in the end the operation wasn't carried out due to the armistice. I've read somewhere that raids on British ports in Africa (can't remember if it was on South Africa or in West Africa) were planned as well but I can't find any source for it.
  2. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    If Leslie Hore-Belisha had stayed in the Liberal Party, he would be a feasible candidate for Liberal Prime Minister. In OTL he was Minister of Transport from June 1935 to May 1937, then Secretary of State for War to January 1940, and Minister of National Insurance in the Caretaker...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I've definitely read that Claude of Brittany had a hunched back, though you might be right about the club foot. Glad you enjoyed the first chapter!
  4. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    They could have used overhead wires and pantographs for long-range routes (at least trucks and buses could, cars would probably have to stay ICE-powered).
  5. Henry the Young King lives, but what happens to Aquitaine?

    Henry the young king would have to remarry either due to his wife's infertility for having children too young. Also Henry the Young king was never train to rule the Kingdom which is not a United Kingdom but a series of rounds governed by their Dukes. Geoffrey Plantagenet Henry II father told his...

    WI: Henry Fitzroy had had a son?

    I doubt Henry VIII would put Fitzroy in the succession (that was one of his options to get a son before divorcing Catherine in otl). But perhaps Edward VI could? Or maybe the boy is married to one of Mary The Elder’s Grandkids so his kids could be heirs.

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Good read. One point though, it's another Claude that is hunchback and clubfooted, who is this Claude's granddaughter.

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

    @El Pip While I can't say anything about Wind Rises, I think you're misinterpreting Grave of the Fireflies. While the film admittedly has some elements that can be seen as anti-American and doesn't really have much of a positive portrayal of the US, the main point of the war is how the...

  10. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I think if you were selective with the minis you could use British WW2 as UoB, but I would use the same style of mini for Officers as for other ranks, i.e. with steel helmets. Keep those where Berrets and ww2 style officers for Canada. For Tanks I would just make a decision as to who gets which...

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Yeah no. The use of the term Rumeli had migrated from Anatolia to the Balkans centuries ago at that point and Greeks were already called Rum so calling Turks Rum would not be possible. Maybe a Turkish state mainly in Thrace could be called Rumelia however.
  12. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    It's about the firebombing of Kobe in WWII. Card Walker's generation grew up with Pearl Harbor and the Bataan Death March, and he served on the USS Bunker Hill through eight battles - anything that potentially makes Imperial Japan look like the victims and America like the bad guys would...

    The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    Ah, this reminds me of Mongolian potato salad. I wonder if America has any commie-bloc states that it can introduce its culinary ways to. Also on the drought discussion, I think that's maybe the period I'd like to see fleshed out the most. Seems like it was bad enough OTL and I'd like to see...

  16. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    ...otherwise put sleeper agents in the Dutch Carribean colonial administrations (Saba has very few people and even less infrastructure at the time) *or*buy up an island or two like East Caicos and Middle Caicos under a shell company in the 1930s a la Darby Island and carve out a moderate sized...
  17. WI: Pepin the Short has more sons

    IOTL he had Charlemagne and Karloman. What if he had 4-5 sons and all survived to adulthood? The outcome is Francia divided into 4-5 states. Islam is stronger for sure and Saxons are not Christianized
  18. [Query] Successful Ottomanization or Turkification of Greece?

    IIRC Greece was still 20% Muslim at the time of ww1. It changed because there was a population exchange and those who left were those more religious or with a stronger national identity Just settle more Muslims in Greece early on. Andalusian Muslims are a good start

    Threadmarks: Healing of Hispano-Bruneian relations

    On 1600, Agustin de Legaspi, the now ruler of Bruneian Empire would reestablish the relations with the Spanish, allowing the Spanish to trade and send their own missionaries in the country and the European countries would say that the country is an eastern country that has been baptized and...
  20. AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    Yes but respectfully Israel lacks the contiguous border the former USSR shared with Iran as well as the ability to actually occupy some of the country as they did in WWII or all of it.
