    Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Ah. Thanks for clearing that up.
  2. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    Was hoping to get the last part out tonight, but I have a lot of real life work to do so it'll probably be out by Saturday. He was! He ran for House Party Leader. Agreed. That is something he is considering. This is another thing he is considering. As I New Yorker I have to say, every mayor...

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

    If she's white American that go over real well (looking at you live action Ghost in the Shell). I would be okay with her being African/Japanese American, i.e. having a African-American father. I kinda prefer the second option, but either way it sounds superficially to the 1992 Adventures in...
  4. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Invade and defend on OTL's timeline of events, ie panning starts in Dec 81 for a target date of Jan 83 but on 25 March 82 the decision to invade in a week is made. Given those parameters how do you propose to destroy the troop/supply ships at sea? I'd suggest that Argentina lacks the...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Except that wouldn't happen, a bunch of US bombers would get shot down, if you are extremely lucky you might hit a barracks or two(no more) they sweep up and nothing changes much. Most likely you wind up with nothing but dead US airmen shot down for nothing.
  6. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It’s likely. Bomber Harris’ main argument for dehousing and bombing civilians to my knowledge wasn’t “Germany did it first” but because he believed it was an effective tool of total war and necessary to ending the war as fast as possible.
  7. Alternate Vienna Congress: Independent Poznan and Prussian Saxony

    And the Mainline Wettin? what they got? nothing? And Rhineland was given so prussia could become the vanguard of the west vs napoleon, they could give it to the wettin if prussia keep belgium, thus keeping their role against france. ASB, Prussia have their own poles to worry about too
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    'Before' and 'After' montage someone has put together of various areas of Le Havre: https://www.normandythenandnow.com/a-photographic-record-of-the-storm-of-iron-le-havre-1944/ Account of some of the damage and repairs (see pages 360-362)...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Destroying the camp would do little good. If deprived of gas, the personnel would just use bullets and starvation.
  10. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    The objective wouldn't be to help prisoners escape, it would be to destroy the camp, and the infrastructure associated with it. Almost all of the prisoners were doomed already. Killing the SS personnel, and slave labor factories attached to the camp would slow down the murder machine. What would...
  11. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Or you get a steam locomotive that can do 6,600 horsepower... https://www.american-rails.com/support-files/locomotive_operating_costs_comparison.pdf This is a pretty good explanation of why diesel might not have actually been that much more cost effective than diesel, at least compared to...
  12. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    I think in a world where the great powers set more of an example smaller powers would follow suit, particularly if they make their own smaller carriers available for sale at good prices. For example the USS America is an Enterprise follow-on, JFK gets A3W nukes and FDR is kept in service, to...

    Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    I was surprised too. I was rooting for Ross or Moore
  14. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Australia has had five such light carriers - HMS Vengeance, HMAS Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide. It has two in service at the moment, Canberra and Adelaide. They are LHDs (although equipped with a ski-jump they don't presently operate any fixed wing aircraft).
  15. AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    Selling and training to the Shah forces. Air Strikes and maybe covert ops. I think you have to somehow show the American people something really really bad is going on and Khomeini is a big evil guy that needs to be stopped.

    AHC: Defend the Falklands

    With all due respect, the initial post said that one has to both invade and defend the Falklands. I showed what the key point was to defence of the islands - the supply ships prior to unloading. If you want to get into a discussion as to whether rockets would have been more or less effective...

  18. AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    Khomeini's plan to make a theocracy comes out. Vance isn't an idiot and doesn't get hoodwinked into thinking Khomeini is planning on setting up a democracy. Have Western media not make Khomeini something he isn't. Shah asked for help and intervention. US citizens get captured and executed in the...
  19. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    The Galloway vote was in 1774 and if that was successful among the First Continental Congress, which only needed a change of one vote, then the goal would have been different. Lexington and Concord hadn't even broken out yet and no one outside of Massachusetts was seriously thinking of...
