  1. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History
    Threadmarks: 2000 Part 5

    The Reform Party National Convention was held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania at the beginning of July. As the first major party convention of the year, being from the plucky Reform Party, and nominating somebody who was not their founder brought a lot of attention. Senator Ross Perot would appear...

    WI: Atari 7800 released in 1984

    In 1982, Atari's Net Worth was $2Billion. They lost over $500M over the Game Crash the next year. I don't think they could swing what Warner's thought Atari was worth in 1983, even with net 1.2M earnings in 4thQ 1982. In 1981 4thQ earnings were $136M
  4. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    It is worth noting that Khosrow II had likely very little notion of the Achaemenids. Official Late Sasanian historiography seems not have known about them as a dynasty, based on surviving evidence. (Vague memories of few single Achaemenid kings persisted though).
  5. The Children of Camelot

    You seem to have repeated the line about searching for a wife for the Duke of York twice in the first extract of the recent post about OTL Henry VIII
  6. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    As long as the fish isnt particularly burned or otherwise malformed Anyway, you never know what's underground or uderwater where the front passed. It might be some 1.5 tonne 600 mm siege mortar round under a city square, it might be Tallboy bomb in the middle of a water way, or a couple of more...

    The sacking of Jerusalem is evidence for that

  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Holding the Airfields is key maybe get a mix of Commonwealth and Greek forces to hold the fields and ready the strips for destruction if the airborne forces are going to be overrun. Also ideally of they are taken they should be recaptured fairly sharply so maybe a mobile reserve made up of...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Why? What piece of American soil was in danger? Even when America does something good, it fucks up. See: taking down Saddam Hussein. By interfering in SE Asia, they bombed out forests and homes of a people that didn't have genocidal, megalomaniac leaders. Letting Koreans have their country in...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Uh? Gallipoli? I thought we were discussing potential landings (edit: by the Allies in this timeline) on Rhodes, and I saw a reference to UTAH beach, on D-Day, and the poster I was responding to (edit: you?) seemed to me to be citing it (edit: the UTAH landing) as a navigation error; as far as...

    The Children of Camelot

    If the heir to England is good enough for eleanor of austria then it is good enough for isabel of portugal. remember at this point she's not rabidly set on marrying charles v (who will likely still be engaged to mary tudor if not elizabeth tudor)

    Isabella was highly anti-French so problem Edward V.

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

    Hard to say honestly... Possibly NY to Miami in a possible perfect world, but the crap for that would never make it past congress, or hell, even all the different regulations within states. Simply put, HSR would never really work in the US unless we away from car culture to a certain extent and...

    That’s probably it! We’ll see who they are betrothed to very soon! We’ll see which of the two it’ll be in time!

  18. AHC: Make Lyndon LaRouche actually a relevant political figure

    Looking the other way while some of your supporters distribute books saying that anonymous scientists are pushing fluoride as a Communist plot is one thing. Saying yourself that Queen Elizabeth is responsible for heroin addiction in the USA is another.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 16: The "Metromedia Model" and the rise of UX

    Chapter 16 By 1986, the number of independent broadcast television stations in the United States had tripled from where it was a decade ago, to over 100 stations. Most of these stations were on the UHF band, since outside of the very few markets that were either big enough or dominant enough...
