  1. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/tallboy-and-grand-slam-bombs-in-use-1943.180008/ It’s not the same question, but it is worth a read if you are looking at Tallboys. In general though: -Tallboys were not precision weapons as we know them today. They were dropped by a couple of...

    Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Read Castles of Steel. The British were in a bit of a pickle before Beatty turned up. This is not true. The Germans were doing fairly well until Lion and co showed up. Although I agree that, if the BCs are pulled to chase Goeben, the plan will have to be altered significantly. Tyrwhitt and...
  3. AHC: reverse the fates of Eastern and Western Europe

    ...in agricultural settlements spoke the same language and had the same cultural identities as locally mobile pastoral people". (My post was worded to *avoid* saying this!). 3) The Ancient Greeks writers certainly would not have had perfect knowledge of the Pontic steppe world. But I am not...
  4. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    @CalBear you know that saying Polish Camps in Poland is these days consider a crime in Poland.

    Goeben Atlantic breakout

    If Goeben and Breslau gets back in early August, do you: (a) Think Heligoland Bight might be a bit better for the Germans with an extra CL potentially responding? Might sink Arethusa and kill Tyrwhitt, with big ramifications, or perhaps shoot up some RN Destroyers. (b) Think Dogger Bank and...
  6. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Corruption, sure (the 90s were bad), but I'm talking about where we are in the 80s and 70s really (the Soviet Union vs the contemporary PRC), where I'm thinking the divergence point we have set, not the Soviet Union vs present day Russia. Using the present-day engineering data as its available...
  7. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    With King Henry IX being disabled because of cerebral palsy, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denis Healey, a wheelchair user, the issue of disabliity rights and discrimination against disabled people was high on the political agenda, The Disability Discrimination Act 1968 (DDA)...
  8. AHC/WI: Earlier environmentalism

    Proper air filters might be, but simply planting trees to soak up the extra CO2 would be very doable. They wouldn't even need to understand the precise mechanism behind it -- simply have some factory owner or property developer who really likes trees and plants a lot of them around his...
  9. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Niagara looks like a heavy cruiser in size, except for here weapons load out maybe. Also another good update.
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    GT featured the least involvement from Toriyama out of all Dragon Ball animated works, coming up with the title GT and the logo, the leading character designs, the spaceship and some art. He wasn't even the one to design Super Saiyan 4! This is largely unavoidable though, if GT were to exist...
  11. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    It makes for some interesting (maybe even excellent) war movies after the War has ended? The Eagle Has Landed is based on something historically accurate instead? The Guns of Naverone is based the WAllies defending guns instead of attacking them?
  12. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    The 80s to 000s gap was more because air force planners saw a way to scupper their opponents in the navy. Downunder, the plan was to acquire the F/A-18 and have that cover the fleet from landbases with inflight refuelling. Problem was that the 707s acquired to become airborne tankers weren't...

    The Bleeding Edge: An Alternate History of NASA

    The Bleeding Edge Chapter 1: Let's Get This Thing Started Pasadena, California, 2019 *Click* “Ok can you say your name and occupation then let’s get this thing started” “My name is Judy Leslieson, former NASA astronaut and geologist professor” “Thank you Ms. Leslieson, let us get underway. Why...
  14. Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    If the Philippine neutrality got respected in ww2 and they didnt involve themselves in that mess, how would it affect the balance of power in asia, and how would it affect them economically, and all other effects of it (As IOTL their neutrality is trashed by the USA as Japan agrees to their...
  15. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    There's a uboat in Birkenhead. It was originally at a historic ships museum along with HMS Plymouth and HMS Onyx but they ran out of money. The two RN ships, so far as I know, ended up being scrapped but the uboat is now down by the ferry terminal.
  16. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    I think hms rodney should have been preserved i mean the unique shape,the rich history and the fact it took part on the sinking of bismarck wpuld have make it an amazing museum.

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

    Probably the unfortunate truth. But then again, there is a surviving U-Boat museum in the US (not sure if there are more U-Boats around), is that a popular place for those guys? However a Heavy Cruiser (especially the one that was in the Denmark Straits) has more of a draw than a submarine.

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

    I believe he was involved in both but I'm not sure that has anything to do with the quality of them.

    Threadmarks: War of the Lilies in France (part I)

    Open war has been raging across France over the difference of religion, with the Catholic faction under the Duke of Guise fighting with the Protestant/Huguenot faction led by Jeanne d'Albret, with her son Henry being the future King of Navarre and having a strong claim to the French throne, and...
