  1. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Anyone feel like taking a stab at Altman's Popeye? When that film came out, my local paper's critic said that the first few minutes were "a work of genius", but that the rest was a mess. I'm guessing he really liked the scene with the Sweethaven anthem, which did rather draw one into its...
  2. Lusitania

    Anime from Alternate Nations (Yes, I being serious)

    Because anime only started in post 1900.
  3. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I'd assume that The Adventures of Mark Twain gets comparisons to Huck's Landing?

    Anime from Alternate Nations (Yes, I being serious)

    Okay, I was conflicted with where to put this, since it includes nations from pre-1900. I will contact a moderator to move this
  5. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    I think it would be incredibly difficult for it not to veer authoritarian for three reasons I may expand on later: The fundamental idea of restricting the franchise in industrial unionism, syndicalism or council communism, the Marxist idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat and...
  6. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    Yep, and in OTL Romania flipped both because the Russians invaded them and it the Germans looked likely to win. 1) might still be true but 2) isn't. So to get the oil they have to invade and hope Romania doesn't burn wreck the oil fields before they seize them. They will also lose the cadmium...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    No they didn't. They didn't know about the dioxin contamination. 2,4,5-T was sold over the counter until the late '70s in the US for weed control, 2,4D was sold even longer. All the Color Agents (Blue, White, Orange and many more)were just US Farm Chemicals, made by lowest bidder. Thanks, Monsanto.

    Anime from Alternate Nations (Yes, I being serious)

    Everyone knows the style of Anime. The animation style created in Japan. It generally focuses less on movement, and more on the detail of settings and use of "camera effects", such as panning, zooming, and angle shots, diverse art styles, and character proportions and features can be quite...
  9. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    The PRC was successful in taking over manufacturing thanks to their workers. For whatever reason, be it cultural in general or due to the way the CCP oversaw things, Chinese high tech workers were able to put out very high quality products that met the requirements of High Tech Companies, That...

    Edward IV and Henry Tudor/VII switch personalities

    I don’t think there is a need to delete this but if you want to delete just ask one of the mods or @ them
  11. Flag Thread V

    The flag for a Cree (Nehiyaw) country, the syllabics in the centre spell out Nehiyaw, meaning the Cree people. The Four colours represent the four winds, people, aspects, seasons, animals etc. I just wanted to make a quick little flag for the Cree, one that isn't too complicated. I didn't...

    Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    Oh that is a good compromise name! But then the child be Kinf Henry IX, King Philip II or King Henry Philip I?
  13. KaiserFriedrichIV

    Edward IV and Henry Tudor/VII switch personalities

    There was never an English Richelieu

    McGoverning

    Without looking back, what was McGovern's weakest regions or demographic? I agree there should be an outreach to the south, but not at the cost of alienating stronger allies.
  15. KaiserFriedrichIV

    Edward IV and Henry Tudor/VII switch personalities

    The problem is that EIV needs something like Richelieu, Louis XIII was a great military leader right because in a video that i saw about the 100 greatest generals he was there
  16. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Make Star Trek: The Motion Picture into some sort of Federation-Klingon conflict. The audience was looking for something like that after Star Wars, but Gene Roddenberry didn't want to go militaristic with the franchise. In TOS they did the Federation-Klingon stories very well, and another story...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    In 1944 the Americans on D-Day missed the planned site of Utah beach by kilometers. Only the fact that there was a causeway across the flooded area inland where they blundered ashore allowed the beach master to take the risk and continue with the landing Hence TR Jrs famous "start the war...
  18. What would the Treaty of Berlin look like if Germany chose to back Russia's claims?

    In this schema German-Russian alliance is a factor that trumps all other considerations and if AH is getting Bosnia then the resulting triple alliance is a predominant force in Europe by a margin too big for the entities like Serbia or Bulgaria to make anything more than unhappy noises and even...
  19. 1938 The confrontation with Germany

    The Soviet High Command was gambling with what reserves that they had created that the south was the main thrust for the allies. There were still a few reserve units left but unless they stripped the far east of all of the trained troops there was nothing left.
