  1. Sony never makes PlayStation

    I read that Sega seriously considered making the Saturn a 32-bit 2D system and confining 3D to the arcades. PlayStation ensured 3D would be in the Saturn. A 2D Saturn vs a 3D N64 generation would give Nintendo a major edge in such a scenario.
  2. Map Thread XX

    I don't think there was a tribe called Tennessee, but rather a village. Alabama, Missouri, and Utah are all named directly or indirectly for indigenous peoples. Also, while Delaware is named for a former governor of Virginia, the Lenape have long been referred to as the Delaware people. Oklahoma...
  3. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    IDK about crazy, but a sequel I'm damn glad they never made: one to the original (IMO, only) "Italian Job". Any sequel would have ruined the best ending in the history of film. No sequel could have remotely been as good.
  4. Hitler incapacitated on 1 june 1940 (stroke/aphasia)

    Germany still doesn't have any credibility. The Nazi party is still in power. Will anyone believe Ribbentrop or any other Bonze who might replace him as Außenminister?
  5. What would the British do if German tanks roll into Dunkirk? (no halt order)

    So really the German decision to halt, based on the facts known at the time was reasonable. Preserve the small elite armored force, use the large and effective infantry force to destroy the kessel. Use the luftwaffe to inderdict the withdrawal. The worst case scenario, which occured, with this...

    WI: Root vs Wilson in 1912

    Perhaps Herbert Hadley, as @1940LaSalle mentioned earlier?

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Lyndon Johnson, Jim Folsom, and Sid McMath are a few good figures who were like Long (southern but left-leaning populist, mostly benevolent on race, and in Johnson and Folsom's cases willing the skirt around the rules) but in the 50s and 60s who come to mind as decent successors. My own...
  8. The 1988 Democratic primaries if Jesse Jackson didn’t run

    Who would win black voters? Would this affect who wins the nomination?
  9. Hitler incapacitated on 1 june 1940 (stroke/aphasia)

    Does this delay the fall of France a week or so? German high command is going to be in disarray for a day or three-putting whoever will be in charge in charge. (Goring.). France is mostly likely a lost cause at this point.

    Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    In the 90s some regions might breakaway by by the 2000s expect the Americans to take back those areas using the barrel of a rifle. Indian Reservations, US-Mexican boarder areas, and the balck belt will be the alternate Chechnia. If Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico will probably remain independent...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Or Stalina, for that matter. I'm not sure if that's actually saying the song doesn't work or just making a funny joke, but I'll assume it's the latter. It's a good line.
  12. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Rabe has always puzzled me. Unlike say Schindler he seems to have been a legitimately devout and fanatical Nazi (Schindler was more or less originally a amoral opportunistic who joined the Nazi Party as a way to gain money and power. Later on as he started to get confronted with more and more...
  13. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Whatever happens, it's possible it would lead to something like the Circassian Genocide. I hope not.
  14. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Way too low, you need NEC , LA/SD, SF/Oakland type population density for it to work.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    you know to understand that it was necessary and to also understand that it was morally wrong are two different things and both can be realized separately. Was it necessary? Perhaps yes. The bombings of Essen, Dresden did certainly sap the will to fight in many Germans. Was it right? You tell me...
  16. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Atlanta, Macon, Jacksonville, Orlando. Maybe still in the works. Maybe it could increase the population density some make it more fesible.
  17. Hitler incapacitated on 1 june 1940 (stroke/aphasia)

    The Hess mission, which wasn't authorised, occurred much later with Germany at war with the SU and in a much weaker position. The US was in the war. The offer is hardly harsh, I'm offering significant minority rights with independence of non core-German territories providing security guarantees...
  18. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    This is not at all certain, and it was even less certain at the time. There is a pretty decent chance that without the nukes Japan would have to be starved to death or would have had to be beaten into submission with a huge number of deaths on both sides. There was an attempt to stop the...

    The Holy Chinese Empire sounds fascinating. I'm curious how their society is structured, and what their relationships with their neighbors are like.

    Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    IK this is kinda a trope in What if the US lost the cold war/ What if the US was socialist but would it Balkanized?
