    WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    No, it's not. Just put a little blurb saying "Edited" up top and redo the dates.
  2. Balkanized U.S.A

    Map Thread XX

    It looks like a backwards Alaska.
  3. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    One of the books on my rickity bookshelf - is SCRAM! by Harry Benson who was a then 21 year old 'Junglie' Wessex pilot and they seemed to spend most of their efforts (18 hours a day shifts) once the landing had gone in on moving Rapier posts and then moving them about as the Brigade advanced...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I have thought about this problem in WWII terms. Tactical aviation has two modes of direct attack; strafing and bombing. Strafing involves aimed gun or rocket fire. The thing is that bullets and rockets in WWII bounce off tanks and armored troop carriers, so the likely effective targets that...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    You tie them to the outside as appliqué.
  6. WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    Sorry, its too late to edit the original post, but the double POD is that Louis XIV dies in 1699 and his eldest son is a genius. Its not that Louis XIV lives until 1799.
  7. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Only running some bombing missions out of the USSR will be nothing like the Britain experience with the influx of Americans. And the ones there will not being hanging around red square wowing the babushkas with silks, chocolate and wholesome cornfed broad shoulders. they would be most likely...

    AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Except for maintenance, and replacing broken panels. But it just didn't generate enough energy to do anything practical with, it would be a fraction of a percent of total energy generation.
  9. From the Ashes, the Purple Phoenix rises once more.

    Nope, it's just that Phoenixes tend to rise from ashes. Thank you. Thank you for the recommendation. No, it's not an SI. I do understand where you're coming from though so I'll keep that in mind.

    What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    The trucks and keeps made from the USSR in the 60s and 70s and still in use in India, Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia and Nepal with minimal maintenance would seriously like to argue about the hurr hurr soviets have no quality mentality.

    Here's some flags with their coat of arms on it.
  12. AHC: Replace the main cash crop of the CSA / Southern USA

    All of the resources given so far wouldn't really work as cash crops. Rice, lumber, tea and various vegetables wouldn't be able to compete on the global market back in those days as they were being produced in ample supply elsewhere. Domestic consumption of a crop wouldn't be sufficient to make...

    The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    And we will see Constantine XI go out fighting, a more dignified way to end the Roman Empire than Romulus Augustulus cowering in his palace in Ravenna as Odoacer entered it or Julius Nepos' plan to reclaim Italy being disrupted by him being stabbed to death in Dalmatia.
  14. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Just go electric. Particularly in an urban environment. Nobody liked smoke steam trains next to their houses every few minutes. Likewise you can electrify specific longer haul routes. Round here there are a few mine to port links that were built as electric despite diesels being plentiful.
  15. Are there any stories with a powerful African or Native American or Aboriginal Australian empire?

    there's a short story in the "Alternate Americas" collection titled "Red Alert" by Jerry Oltion, which imagines that the Europeans never settled any of the Americas beyond Long Island, and a technologically advanced Native culture occupies the continent, keeping the Europeans out. It's more of...

    Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    The object uncovered by the gold rush had laid there a long, long, time. No one could decipher the writing on the sides. Examples where sent to institutions around the world. Havard eventually figured one labelled said 'push' while Oxford worked out a pushed in panelled said 'armed' but by then...
  17. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Limiting that footprint to couple thousand people whom comrade Stalin could send pater for state-funded holidays in Kolyma where through the noble combination of working much and eating little they would be purged of any foreign influences would not be that different.
  18. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    I thought I was being clevererer
  19. Native Americans domesticate gomphotheres

    that site also mentions Cuvieronius, another gomphothere that lived at roughly the same time down in S. America. While it's considered unlikely now, at one time, people thought Cuvieronius survived until about 200 AD. If you use that as a POD, the odds of taming them might go way up...
