  1. The Pale Horse: The Northwest Montana Insurgency and its Aftermath (1987-2002)

    This is quite intriguing, does this mean a lot of ex-communist household names like Lovestone or Gitlow remain leftists in this TL? Does this lead to a lot conservative theorists in the East Coast to be syndicalist (or whatever flavour of totalism/radsoc this CSA has) theorists and philosophers...

  3. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Strategic bombing just isn't that accurate, and in the era of mass state institutions in most countries leveraging enormous power (roughly 1930-1976), atrocities were the norm, not the exception The B-24 Daylight bombing campaign did have more of a strategic component to it, targeting war...
  4. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Also like a discussion or two about the viability of Op Ikarus & other ideas about Germans in Iceland. People try to argue the point by handicapping the Brits with clumsy or stupid tactics & strategy & waking the Axis.

    This is a different Francis, eldest son of the Francis and Claude you are talking about.

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I had a glorious gameplay as Argentina, being able to mobilize 1 million men Some times I wonder how feasible is such a thing to be honest, I meant, Argentina had 13 million people, this seems to be the kind of stuff that would implode the economy

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

    If this happens it would likely be the result of the US loosing the Cold War. In such a situation a socialist US would need a 'Putin" type figure to not undergo a "capitalist restoration," supporting the economic philosophy of the Cold War Victor while upholding revanchism and irredentism to...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    The problem is that the Americans couldn't be certain that the Japanese lower officers wouldn't just go into full denial mode and stop any mention of surrender with a bullet to the face for whoever proposed it. They could very well have done precisely that; the two bombings lowered the chances...
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Alfredtuomi: Doesn't change that amphibious landings against a contested coast bigger than commando raids during WW2 with British troops involved tended to go pear-shaped. And any operation against Rhodes in this timeline can expect to run a similarly rocky course if the British try it. (I...
  11. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Trolling German wikipedia and using google translate suggests “Eleonore Woermann” was from German colonies in Cameroon. Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was being coaled by a “Magdeburg”, and “Bethania” August 17th at some point prior also had captured a British collier “Arucas” which was present at...

    Should we dig into the crapfest that was Galactica 1980? Super Scouts and an ultra genius Milky Bar Kid calling the shots? Come on.

    Tudor Twins - a Tudor AU

    @baileyofaragon wasn't Francis betrothed to Claude because they needed to integrate Brittany into France
  14. Other Portugals: What countries could have remained apart from Spain?

    If Castille doesn't swallow Aragon or Portugal, then there wouldn't be a Spain. You could certainly have a world where Portugal/Galicia, Leon, Castille and Aragon are all separate states.
  15. What would the Treaty of Berlin look like if Germany chose to back Russia's claims?

    Honestly, with pan-Slavism guiding the actions of Russian leadership this much, I honestly think it wouldn't have given a damn to what the Greeks wanted. Serbia was far more interested in Bosnia and the Adriatic than in Macendonia and the Aegean, so if there aren't any complaints on the Slav...
  16. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I don’t know to what extent John Rabe was a true believer in Nazism (especially considering virtually all of the Nazi atrocities happened after Nanking) or how he felt about non Aryans but this isn’t exactly unheard of. There were many cases of Nazi true believers expressing disgust at the...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Eight Crazy Nights was a well animated movie, better than what it should've been but if it wasn't for Adam Sandler's tendency to insert in toilet humor and product placements, it could've been THE Hanukah movie. The director, Seth Kearsley, revealed that a lot of the terrible elements were kept...
  18. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    While it could do 170mph I think its general operational speed was 100mph, so presumably it fits into the FRA 90 and 110mph track classes. It would have fast acceleration and the tilting would keep average speeds up to give a quick point to point time without resorting to fancy lines. While it...
  19. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    The battles with thousands of ships? When every single ship equal of Enterprise or Defiant had to have the power to devastate hundreds of planets all by themselves. When there were "fighters" like swarms of bees that weren't blown out of space by the hundred by main phasers with such enormous...
