  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    True and like most higher ups he was a junior officer in the Imperial army first time round. Even if the Bismarck era ban had been lifted professing any kind of socialist belief would not be conductive to a career as a professional officer.
  2. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    I don't know how many are aware, but in two days (25th March) Greece is celebrating 200 years from the Revolution that made it an independent state. I really wonder how different Greece would be today if this TL was a reality. Btw it is really superb work. Very detailed and realistic story, with...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Killzone Shadow Fall was actually a commercial success, but far from rejuvenating interest it lead the IP into obscurity and irrelevance. The common criticism is that the rush to make it a launch title for the PS4 compromised the end quality of the product. I don't really buy that. At least to...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Rommel's tendency to lead from the front, and to micro-manage one part of the battle would probably have made it easier to hide those sorts of actions. IIRC, as leader of the occupation forces in France, he reputedly several times asked Hitler for permission to punish SS units for committing...
  5. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    This is less set. You do get shows with a few more here or there. Especially if it's a proven hit. You also get shows with a lot less, especially if you look at the production credits and there's like 20 funding sources.
  6. Revival of Mongolia as a military power

    On a population of one million people? With so many on subsistence agriculture? No.
  7. Thousand-Week Reich - A 'realistic' Nazi victory scenario

    Wait, it's possible for the USSR to become a democracy now? I thought it was between flavors of communism and that diumvirate authoritarianism path.
  8. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    That has been the main argument here. The thing is that realistically the NEC won't get much money from the Feds as it helps only the NEC. The NEC states need to get together and do it themselves if they want it. Even then they have to do it much, much cheaper than CA. If CA actually gets...
  9. TL-191: After the End

    Gays are allowed to serve in the US military since 1986, although gay marriage / partnership issues are about 10 years behind OTL USA.
  10. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    If Harald can get England well under control, Denmark is probably screwed. The additional manpower alone, let alone ships and supplies, make it hard to resist. If Danish merchants shift their loyalty to Harald, or maybe anticipate open markets in England with a Norse king in England, they would...
  11. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    What would be it's effects on England's relationship with Ireland as well as on the English reformation?
  12. ImperialxWarlord

    Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    Like part of me wants to say with he’d do better but then I think “it was such a mess, how do you fix it? You kinda can’t”. Other than intervening earlier I’m not too sure. Or somehow getting the UN to send more peacekeepers that actually have balls. At least intervening earlier might stop the...
  13. Hitler incapacitated on 1 june 1940 (stroke/aphasia)

    Without looting the Soviet Union, how does Germany maintain it's wartime economy? Germany isn't giving up anything at that point that would get the West to make peace, after all.
  14. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Could a high speed rail system that serves the densely populated East Coast make sense? I mean the Northeast Megalopolis, which is essentially a continuous strip of cities, suburbs and urban development alongside the East Coast which over 50 million people call home. It includes: Boston...
  15. Map Thread XX

    Indeed, I gave thought to that during the last days and here are some words and country names in Avarian. Pronunciation - as mentioned in my original post - is the same as Hungarian, but the 'x' is pronouned as 'ch' like in German 'Dach', 'dj' is the same as in Hungarian 'gy'. So...for anyone...
  16. Grains of Sand and Salt

    Pretty interesting, if this timeline follow our in Europe, the Spanish when they discover nipa will likely introduce it to the Netherlands and from there it will spread to the marshlands and tidal regions around the North Sea. This could push a local population boom, which would result in...
  17. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond
    Threadmarks: The new GI Bill, The Alliance of Pan-American States, McCain in Panama, and other events in May

    The new GI Bill On April 17th, 1962, the Servicemen's Readjustment and Protection Act of 1962 was introduced before the Congress. This bill was designed to provide for the education, job training, housing, healthcare and general welfare of America’s veterans returning from overseas...

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The bit from Westwood (Route 128) to Woonsocket would need the ROWs and tracks remain in actual use, since that bit of the Franklin Line from about Route 495 (Dean College) westwards is now a bike trail. The same is also true for Woonsocket to Hartford - not to mention the former existing...
  19. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    If the attempted assassination of the entire British government in 1984 didn't lead to such a gross over reaction as to declare war on the Republic I find it hard to imagine a simple terrorist random bombing would.
  20. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    And now we had harald hardrada as king of England and Norway and technically overlord of Welsh Princes and Kings Scots. If the hard ruler can bring his new kingdom in to order he my try to take the Danish throne again and if not him his sons.
