    A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Steam was beaten by Diesel on lower day to day maintenance and operating costs,no need for a stoker/fireman or frequent refueling for coal/oil and especially water stops. The cherry ontop, was with multiple unit lashups, you could just connect as many 1500hp engines together as needed for...
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Depending on just how badly the British bled the Germans it could be argued the Heer has been looking at British tactics closely. OTL Germany lost 34% of it's Panzer's destroyed with Britain accounting for around 4-6% of them so around 1 sixth of all panzers destroyed were likely destroyed by...

    Map Thread XX

    Most likely around the 1100s , but the POD is around the early 1000s.
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I've been flogging myself after yesterday's mistake.
  5. WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    It should be noted that both Grand Dauphin and Petite Dauphin participated in military action. GD stayed within his capabilities and acquited himself well. PD thought he knew better than the military minds, overstepped his boundaries, and mucked up the situation royally (har har) in WoSS.

    In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    That is more of an ethnic dynamic than political. The Irish were opposing the British state rather than monarchy. So nation-states being replaced with autonomous Provinces part of a country. I'd say that instead of NATO, they would use the existing British military as an "imperial" military...
  7. Fear Nothing But God: A Graphical History

    I want to see how a concordist nation looks and functions like the the average person.

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

    My Neighbor Totoro - not a story my ITTL self would have seen at the time, partly cos of the hype, but might have caught later and appreciated the beauty of the animation. Grave of the Fireflies- strong, emotional, and historic. It is such a good movie. Glad it got the award nominations. The...
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    What do you think is more likely if you pull it off 1) The Nazis decide its not worth killing their "racial enemies" and stop or 2) Use other means to kill them such as simply shooting them, dumping them in a ditch and covering their bodies with dirt? Killing hordes of unarmed people with...
  10. Henry the Young King lives, but what happens to Aquitaine?

    So, to conclude, Richard most definitely isn't getting captured on his way back from the Crusade, likely leaving much earlier as well due to not having the resources to go as otl. He is still marrying Berengaria of Navarre, and may or may not have children. Henry the Young King may or may not...
  11. WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    You would be better off creating a diplomatic genius. Military, as noted above, was not the problem. Diplomatic genius allows France to make all the gains of the WoSS without fighting the war. Arguably, France could have gotten all the Spanish Empire. OTL, pathetic diplomatic blunders...
  12. From the Ashes, the Purple Phoenix rises once more.

    Is the title directly inspired by the name of the @Basileus_Komnenos ' TL?

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

    I'm old enough to have witnessed the change of Japan's exports going from junk to quality, when my Dad brought cool radio and audio gear from companies called 'Sony' and 'National Panasonic' in the '60s after he had done another tour in South Korea in place of Vietnam. Also saw the change in...
  14. WI: Władyslaw Jagielłło converts to Orthodoxy

    In theory, it's possible for him to adopt the Slavic Rite but still enter communion with Rome. John V and his successors in Constantinople were pleading for western aid in exchange for a reunion, which finally manifested at the Council of Florence (however temporarily). The union was accepted...

  16. The Forge of Weyland

    Of course, things only look good for the Allies from our OTL perspective. From theirs, things look pretty serious, and this will colour their reactions to it all

    lol i want dreadnought to encounter the mining ship red dwarf lol
  18. Have Pontiac Motor Company continue to be a viable company up to the present

    Not a car expert, but I would suggest a few things with a POD of ~2000: More unique models that aren't rebadged Chevy's Better styling for the Aztek More serious performance models (that's what Pontiac had a reputation for historically, but in the 2000s this was long gone) More Toyota twins like...

    Abnormally Suasive

    Watched and Liked. @Hairog, your TL had caught my attention mainly due that it appears different unlike most TLs here. (TBF, that's the best explanation I can give.)
