  1. For Want of A Sandwich - A Franz Ferdinand Lives Wikibox TL

    Islamist terrorists from Turkestan ! Well, either they were in favor of Apartheid or not, the Afrikaner diaspora is one of the most sizeable ones in the recent world, with refugees pouring down to Mozambique, Rhodesia and Kalahari to avoid being killed, with the most fortunate ones managing to...
  2. Revival of Mongolia as a military power

    Though I think 100K militia could be raised, Mongolian terrain is not militia friendly. There are very few, if any natural choke points, built up areas, forests or mountains where militia can leverage partial training with easily defensible terrain. As a result, unless the militia can also...
  3. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Smallpox blankets. So? That doesn't justify genocide. And that was what America was doing to the peoples of North America. Those ethical standards sure didn't apply to the native peoples of the Americas and Australasia, or the tens of millions of black slaves toiling away in the plantation...

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

    The Knowledge - sounds great. Superb cast there. I'd have enjoyed that I think. Sifton’s Pilgrims - def sounds like something ITV would like over the Beeb. Might have caught the odd one. Depends on the characters for me I suspect. Bet my Auntie would like it, sounds like her sort of show...
  5. Vichy France, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Thailand gets the same reputation as Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan

    I'd argue that the axis minors lean more toward victim myself. Vichy France was the humiliated shell of France (that was also broadly popular with the French people until 1942 or so). Hungary and Bulgaria were nations with grievances with their neighbors stemming from WWI. Bulgaria didn't even...
  6. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    She could marry Charles IX of France as originally proposed, it was said Catherine de Medici wanted the eldest Habsburg girl for him. His OTL wife Elisabeth of Austria (b. 1554) would be about the age of Mary and Philip's son (Henry/Philip/John?), so that problem is solved too.

    So, Paul Tsongas and Arianna Huffington are Greek PMs ITTL?
  8. That Wacky Redhead

    Final thoughts, now that I'm all caught up: Wonderful. I have no doubt that our tastes differ (you seemed almost miffed no-one was bemoaning the loss of The Brady Bunch at the start) but this is a fantastic achievement, and has kept me spellbound the whole way through. Callous as it may seem...

  10. Implications of having the RAF involved in Libya air strike in 1986?

    At what point did Tonkas get AAR probes?
  11. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Again, there is no evidence that leaders in the UK in 1940 have a professional divination expert, skilled in the arts of supernatural divination, on hand in 1940. As far as I can make out, your logic is based on 'but the UK leaders in mid-1940 will know what would have happened right through...

  13. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Are we seriously having people condemning the Nazis by explaining away the American conquest of the continent?

    Vichy France, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Thailand gets the same reputation as Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan

    Those countries do have the same reputation as Italy, though - also rans that blur the line between aggressor and victim.
  15. Vichy France, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Thailand gets the same reputation as Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan

    France under someone else than Pétain and being active Axis nation and participate to Holocaust even more actively than in OTL. Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria should be more active too and commtiing more infamous war crimes. Thailand is pretty difficult when it was pretty much puppet of Japan...
  16. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Daggers and Mirage III had no Air Refuelling capability - so were limited to minutes over the combat area given the necessary Hi-Lo-Hi mission envelope when operating in Sea Dart range. In addition the Sea Harriers were operating within their performance and range envelope while the Daggers and...

    God Owes Phillip II Twenty Bucks

    No, France hasn’t gone completely Protestant, and it’s unlikely to. Most people just don’t realise that the Huguenots (French Protestants) were a fairly sizeable minority until they were purged by Louis XIV. France is still most likely going to remain Catholic since the Huguenots are still...
