  1. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    @David Flin and @Cryhavoc101 the point of this thread was the idea I'd formed that Argentina couldn't win the battle of attrition with OTL preparation, however a different and greater attrition might have different effects. Perhaps something like the Bluff Cove disaster occurring in San Carlos...
  2. AHC/WI: Earlier environmentalism

    It is hard because humans are going to put their basic needs first, and one of those basic needs is food. Food requires cultivation and that means tearing up most of the landscape for farms.

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Yeah, I could see a shorter helmet of the one HanEmpire posted being used along with the kettle helm being used in a WWI-era Rhomania out of pragmatism while also keeping to their historical Roman roots.
  4. AHC/WI: Earlier environmentalism

    By environmentalism, I mean the belief that humans shouldn't exploit the environment in unsustainable ways, and that environmental impact should be reduced as far as is reasonably possible. IOTL environmentalism started to become a concern towards the end of the 19th century, as a response to...
  5. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Henry Tudor was born when his mom was 13, pretty likely that would be seen as the reason (or just because his enemies want to keep their heads, the Plantagenet temper is renowned and Edmund's the king's brother.), not to mention he's probably had bastard children before and likely during...

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I don't know about that. The helm from the artwork looks like a brimless version of some later helmets that were known to be used. If anything they would probably keep the brim of the helm given they are looking for shrapnel protection. Though perhaps the tall one would survive as a ceremonial...

    Jasper Tudor had children. The effects?

    It would, do France still has Aquitaine to use for their naval interests. Damn, that would really change up geopolitics in europe.

    That's worryingly specific...

    Congratulations indeed.

    WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    Considering the tendency of the Spanish to intermix with the natives, wouldn't the Philippines just end up mainly Eurasian in this case?

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

    If he can get her, perhaps. That would lead to the interesting application of what happens when it becomes clear they aren't having any children? Henry Tudor is clear proof Margaret can, or rather could bear children so it would be humiliating for Edmund, especially since enemies of his will...
  12. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    What could they do for sighting? Is there enough atmosphere on the moon for a laser? Probably not? Heh, almost want to say mount one and go paint some stones at set ranges.
  13. Jasper Tudor had children. The effects?

    Retaking Normandy would make the most strategic sense to them, as that would allow them to connect any lands they can obtain outside of Calais to their allies in the Breton Tudors. Thus, they achieve total control over the Channel and thereby stunting French influence in the world, which they...
  14. Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    I believe Polybius used a very similar metaphor to describe the First Punic War.

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I don't really see a modern Roman helmet resembling the one shown in that picture. If anything they might look towards extant Medieval models like this: They'd probably be much rounder and be made out of modern materials, but the rounded helmet design is very much perfect for infantry combat...
  16. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    I'm not entirely convinced Warwick did intend to rule through Edward, he was a Yorkist even when RoY was alive and I think we can all agree that Warwick did not expect to rule through him, so yes @Cate13 if Edmund's able to become Edward's de facto PM from the very start, Warwick wouldn't...

    What brings you to that conclusion?

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

    But who those Edmund marry? That could have a big impact on how things play out.
