    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?
    Threadmarks: Chapter Four: A Tragic Comedy

    All Quiet on the Caucasian Front Part II: September 7th 1993 Field HQ of the 35th Guards Rifle Regiment, Component of the 10th Guards Motor Rifle Division. Mikrakh, Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic "Give me a hand with this Fedor!" The Corporal Dimitri was loading up a BTR-80...
  2. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Now that we have the fighters sorted out (aren't we great) - what about the bombers? 1, 2, 3, 4 engined types - the Italians had it all, even if some of them were bad (Ba.88, plus that lousy 2-engined dive bomber with pronounced flaps/brakes, whose name escapes me), some were decent (SM.79...
  3. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Probably depends on the intensity of bombings
  4. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    I don't think that even if they did manage to beg an Army off of the Emperor, that they'd be facing opposition from Denmark. Sweyn II was consistently at odds with Hadrada over Harald continually trying to advance his claim to Denmark. They even fought a Major war over it not 4 years ago...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It is perhaps odd, that despite all the comments the Op has not posted again - have we been trolled!
  6. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Hence my earlier suggestion about no cold war reducing investment in the interstates (dovetails nicely with your ideas IMO). My point was in replying to the poster who only wanted to deal with HSR and not transit is that you can't successfully do the one without a POD that affects the other. You...
  7. DBWI: Caesar does not conquer Parthia

    Well, the Gauls had at first to deal with the Germanic incursions. Areovistus was only temporarily dissuaded from meddling in Gaulish affairs by Caesar when he seemed poised to take control of Narbonensis and Gaul was the most attractive target for a war of conquest. When the Senate (or Cato...
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    You are right and the Japanese used both biologicals and chemicals weapons in China against civilian population.
  9. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    You can at least double the cost in the end. Like California's HSR I am sure it is ridiculously low balled.
  10. The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    Yes I know that I was just having a brain fart
  11. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Not as often as you would think. A lot of neighborhoods were simply majority-minority and were seen as "less desirable" by the people doing the planning. And because of their disadvantaged state, the owners of that property generally lacked the means, both financial and political, to challenge...
  12. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Nobody used them on soldiers. Somebody used them on civilians. Who were in rather confined spaces with no way out.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Really glad you got back to your stride Hats! Another amazing post from you. Honestly, I just love Andalusi society more and more as time goes on with this rapid pace at scientific discovery and development. Truly one of the greatest societies ever developed in a timeline. The Blossoming: It's...
  14. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The one area where you could build up ultra modern rail the most (where population and demand is greatest) would be along the northeast corridor allowing for a trip between Boston and Washington DC in around 3 hours...
  15. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Germans began bombing of civilians as doctrine of terror bombings to kill civilians in Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam and London. Once you can open the can of worms, you assume it. It was a deliberate doctrine of the Luftwaffe, as was the doctrine to bomb and strafe civilians fleeing the battle on...
  16. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    My friend your heart is in the right place, but we all live in a fallen world. All we're ever left with are imperfect solutions. We can only do the best that we can, and try to do more good then evil. Everyday by our actions, or inactions we do harm to our fellow human beings. Juries weigh...

    WI: Blockbuster Bought Netflix

    Yes, but @Popcorn makes a good point. If Blockbuster had bought Netflix when it was still just sending out DVDs, then they would've alleviated the pressure to eliminate late fees. That keeps cash flow for Blockbuster substantially higher than it was once they got rid of the fees, and may allow...
  18. Solar Dreams: a history of solar energy (1878 - 2025)

    Could industrial scale production of jerky, dried noodles, and other dehydrated foods be possible? Something like the green house setup to keep things hot with solar powered fans to circulate the air.
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    As in "those goddam bastards are bombing our wives and children, we're going to show them" or as in "they are bombing our wives and children, we better give up." I think the first happened more often than the second.
  20. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    Which probably means a situation similar to OTL Clinton's admin when the GOP held the congress. Meaning nothing really gets done and the economy begins to boom anyway because of tech.
