  1. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons

    Interesting, sounds like this Henry Tudor will not be as successful as the previous one This person sounds like an interesting character As does this guy I cannot believe I completely forgot about Gráinne Mhaol! Wow, if she's around in the Americas, yeah, shit could get really serious for the...

    Sports What Ifs.

    Speaking of cricket, I'm not very knowledgeable about the sport, but one thing that I wondered, football clubs like Genoa and Milan were founded as football and cricket clubs, so there might be a chance cricket could survive in countries that, while not part of the Commonwealth or the Empire...
  3. WI: Suleiman takes Vienna

    Rome was just sacked by Charles V two short years ago, and the Holy Roman Emperor is the biggest threat to the autonomy and rights of most of Germany and Italy and the chief enemy of France that's surrounded by Hapsburgs. There's a non-zero chance that the Pope is celebrating the Ottoman victory...
  4. Best strategy for Santa Anna during and post texan revolution

    you do understand that the revolts are caused by tax increases made by santa anna because of the dire economic situation in Mexico, not centralization of power

    The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    Agreed, probably in the 1520s too

    There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Aww, poor girl. Hopefully Giovanna can help take care of the girl!
  7. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    The BEF lost it's equipment in OTL and the British managed. Britain did have manpower reserves and frankly anything that reduces the invasion panic (early Russia, Spain, even North Africa) enables the Uk to deploy its limited resources to theatres where the Axis can't mobilise their full...
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Congratulations, had the Allies accepted your logic you just condemned the peoples of occupied Europe to an indefinite future of genocide and slavery. And what makes you think the Nazi's would not have simply taken the opportunity to build up for the next attempt at exporting their horrific...

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Indeed she is! She’s also the titular Queen of Jerusalem, or at least as far as Charles III is concerned. Ideally she’ll stop Charles III from making all the mistakes he did in otl. As for Charles Philip, I have plans for him. It is. It is also a creative match when one realises that the...
  10. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    There was a survey to identify which was UK's 2nd city. The people of Birmingham said 'Birmingham' Mancunians said 'Manchester'. Liverpudlians said 'London'. It doesn't matter what a map says, there is no way people from Manchester or Liverpool will ever accept the other's name.
  11. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID 2. Despite what the ending to the previous film so strongly im- plied, our two heroes are not gunned down. Instead, they’re thrown into a Bolivian jail & left to rot there. Skip foreword a few years & an agent of President Theodore Roosevelt springs them out of...
  12. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    The Soviets weren’t exactly keen to jump into a true alliance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Soviet_Axis_talks?wprov=sfti1 Before the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed, the Soviets gave the WAllies plenty of indication that they were worried about or thinking of Nazi aggression...
  13. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Well, from my understanding, for the remnant of the British Empire, some form of the Imperial Preference system still exist, so the Dominions most certainly trade amongst each other. Plus, they do have access to the Chinese market via the Legation Cities. Also, its not like they are 100% locked...
  14. A Horn of Bronze--The Shaping of Fusania and Beyond

    It is an OTL event, the Late Antique Little Ice Age, probably triggered in part by a large volcanic eruption (or two or three, and not Mt. Churchill/Keretsuka although that eruption is also OTL) in the 5th/6th centuries. The volcano caused global famine and hastened collapse of Teotihuacan...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Have him be captured, OP. Wouldn't want to deprive our ATL counterparts from reading his war-crime denying, self-serving memoirs. :D

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Italians are being driven back by the Greeks in Albania The Italians made little headway against the French despite German successes against the same country Why would the Germans feel overly worried that the Italians being driven back by the British in Africa is a major game changer?
  17. No G harder then Kenny G

    Too much crazy for one night. Gonna come back in two weeks when Death Row buys out Disney and rebrands it as "DeezNuts."
  18. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    Okay, let's be honest here; much of the ideas have already been done in HG Wells' The War In The Air which was published in 1907. The main problem with airships as a weapon is that they are big, slow and weak - sitting ducks for machine-gun fire from the ground or even concentrated rifle-fire...
  19. What's your favorite alternate ethnolinguistic situation for England?

    Since we can PODS a couple of millennia or more back, then anything is possible. My favorite other would be Indo-Aryan Britain. For reasons unknown, the Indian states gain a technological edge in naval & other tech, and the age of exploration happens from an Indian perspective. Seeing the...
