  1. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I think it's very telling that at the end of the day Enterprise in this timeline and Freedom in Eyes Turned Skyward both end up looking like ISS. The physics of the problem are such that the ISS plan really ends up being optimal for LEO.
  2. Map Thread XX

    I just realised I miscoloured the info for Hampshire-Austenasia - it is supposed to be a brown (hue 14) and is to the east of the more stable Hampshire (which used to be the 'Republic of Hampshire' before shortening its official name). Sorry.
  3. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918
    Threadmarks: Asquith's Out

    Asquith was beat. There was no questioning that. But who would replace him? On the surface, Lloyd George could easily fill his shoes. He was Prime Minister after all, and his Coalition Liberals were by far the largest Liberal grouping elected. The new Parliament hadn't met yet after the...
  4. Medieval America Mark III

    Oh, I really should have done more research. I might re-do it with people in mind. I mean, Bermuda is pretty far away from the mainland, it would be quite the haul to travel all the distance to raid.
  5. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    Not at all and kruger is a much better actor anyway But who else will play GermAn commandos ? The best raids probably would be against Egypt? Sabotaging the suez
  6. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    I'm sorry but... that literally proves you wrong. "In 1916, self-employed peasants (i.e.those who DID NOT use hired labour) owned in European Russia outright about two-thirds of the cultivated land in private possession; with the leased land included, they had at their disposal nearly 90 percent...
  7. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Ooooh, that's an interesting question. My first guess is probably not. By 1460, things were moving pretty fast, so I don't see Edmund's survival changing much. Maybe if Edmund is a calming influence, maybe the Yorkists just act as 'regent' to Henry VI until his death, but they'd still have to...
  8. AH Cultural Descriptions

    A style of break dancing popularized in Cape Town in the mid 90s. It came to the forefront when president Nelson Mandela invited a Cape Town dance troupe to perform and apparently quite enjoyed it. From there it spread across the world though by 2005 the African Rift was seen as passé. Premier...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Or Nixon gets rid of the tapes. Many different ways Nixon could have handled things, and the TL had enough butterflies for that to occur.
  10. AHC: reverse the fates of Eastern and Western Europe

    My point was just that if the heavy plough was invented, the people benefitting them wouldn't be the Scythians on the Steppe proper, just like certain technologies that were used more by nomads benefitted more them than others even if the ecological barriers to certain lifestyles were not...
  11. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Pro Tip: Doubling down the day you come back from a Kick is a sub-optimal choice. Kicked for a week.

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    So is Henry VI just deposed or succeeded by Edward IV

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    OPEC tried, and failed with the embargo of 1967. At that time, the US was able to make up the difference. That had changed by 1971
  14. Tiberius Gracchus - More Successful?

    I'm afraid that Tiberius Gracchus succeeding would have been pretty difficult because he went directly against the interests of the most powerful people in the city. And more, his success would have made him overwhelmingly popular with the people which would have been something that he could...

    Der Kampf: The Rise and Fall of the Austrian Führer

    He has to be if Austria is gonna be any kind of threat in Europe. Also his wartime experience was different and he developed as a person in a different way between 1914-1918

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Getting rid of huge number of murdered people required crematoriums. Without those, the camp system is compromised. Digging pits and dumping bodies didn't work on an industrial scale. The Nazis tried that, recall.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    If you care about democracy and limiting elitism, then Decembrist Tomsk is the way to go. Their megaproject ensures that Tomsk will be a functioning democracy.
  18. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    ...I agree with you to some degree tho. Also I go back on my previous statement on George, Margaret's the daughter of a king, if Edward's marrying *only* a Duke's daughter not really feeling his younger brother get a king's daughter. Edmund might, being next in line and all that but not George...
