    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I see, wonder if by opening there will be a worldwide premier of a film like with ET during that year to showcase the modern facilities? Wonder what film it might be then?

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    That was a wild ride of a chapter. I presume the tacit support for the coup is going to hurt the democrats in the elections no matter what. Bradley's victory for the presidential nomination was hard won. And against the establishment to boot. Strong showing for Ann, which was a surprised...
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Hoping that's ignorance. Rommel by June 1940 is already badly tainted , 7th Panzer is accused by many historians of shooting prisoners, especially French colonial troops, during the Fall of France. He was also a committed Nazi , a friend and firm supporter of Hitler, commanding for a time his...
  4. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    At that point of the war, the Soviets on paper had little reason not to peace out, so the pot would have to be significantly more sweetened. The Soviet got jet engines after the war for practically nothing, so its not impossible to be licensed a P51.
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Maybe this article will be of interest: The Ethics of Terror Bombing: Beyond Supreme Emergency, Alex J. Bellamy. 18 Apr 2008 Abstract: "Recent years have seen a revival of interest in Michael Walzer's doctrine of ‘supreme emergency’. Simply put, the doctrine holds that, when a state confronts...

    AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Even harsher oil crises in the 70s, and a longer Carter presidency maybe? Probably the best time for the sustainability movement to really get the ball rolling. Then again any shift this early is going to face technological-cost problems. Solar and wind were both utter garbage and expensive as...
  7. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    I can't really think of many niches where airships have real advantages compared to other modes of transportation. They don't offer the kind of reduction in travel time that airplanes offer (they make multi-day trips multi-hour trips where things like cabins and the like don't matter anymore)...
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    There's no contradiction as others pointed out, since even slightly lengthening the war increases the casualties by hundreds of thousands if not millions. For example, if the war in Europe had lasted into 1946 many of OTL's Holocaust survivors would have perished while multiple German cities got...
  9. Images from the Footprint of Mussolini

    Alexander Lukashenko, infamous Belarussian communist leader and head of prohibited Belarussian Communist Party. He joined to underground BCP in 1980's and rapidly climbed on its ranks finally ending as leader of the party. He has been staunch defender of communism and Soviet politics. He is too...
  10. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Is this a feasible scenario? Meaning, like instead of overwhelming dependence on oil and gas, the world whole uses a little bit of everything (wind, hydro, nuclear, solar) in equal proportion.

    WI/PC: A Christian Japan

    I had made a discussion more or less about this. From what I remember the Shimabara revolt comes at the wrong time and is too late to see a Christian Japan...

    Threadmarks: Daz Dillinger

    Daz Dillinger So I was at the death row christmas party pretty much all the names were there big ones and we were mingling and I mention that I got an offer to do some business on a private island by some rich guy. Kenny's there and he frowns when the name comes up. "You know Epstien?"...
  14. The official discussion thread: 1918 - The German Navy sorties one last time -V.IV-

    Thank you all. In the meantime, a little spoiler on my latest artwork. Guess the story (It's already a fully-written and published arc in the TL). Give me ship names, location of drawing and whereabouts in the arc it would be... All the info you need should be in the drawing and TL already...
  15. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    You are also forgetting the aspect of time. In 2020 we can be fairly confident the Axis would lose (based on Axis and Allies report- the Germans weren't sending information to the British, but we can read Halder's thoughts leisurely today), but in 1943 they were not certain, so ignoring a tool...
  16. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    ...issue with seeking peace with the Wallies after the US enters the war, and that's they are already fighting the USSR. Any chance of an attractive* peace for Germany after they invade the USSR is to have beaten the USSR and negotiate terms with the Wallies from that position. (they also know...
  17. WI: Castilian-Portuguese union instead of Castilian-Aragonese union?

    So, could Aragon even do what Portugal did and have its own distinct identity? Also, apparently Catalonia and Aragon are two separate places? Would they unite? Does Catalonia stand a better chance not being part of Spain than Aragon? Who becomes East Portugal and what do they do in terms of...
  18. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Both statements could be true. A Nazi/Axis victory is ASB provided the Allies fight with ALL means at their disposal. Failing to attack German or Japanese military production through a Strategic Bombing Offensive will certainly make Allied Victory harder and the wars last longer. Additionally...
  19. Effects on the UK's rail network with an earlier setting up of 'British Railways' in 1900

    I cannot imagine the Marquess of Salisbury, the reactionaries reactionary, deciding to nationalise the British railway network when there is not even the hint of a good reason. Hell I can't imagine him doing it even if there were hundreds of good reasons. In any event in 1900 the network was...
