    What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    It's well-known that if given the choice between being fucked by their own or by a foreigner, they prefer their own. Sending tribute to the nomadic barbarians when they had the upper hand was itself preferable for the Chinese. Also, you ignore the local nobility who supported him may now find...
  2. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    When you say "Moose and Squirrel are back in primetime," do you mean reruns of the classic episodes? Or has the show been revived for a new generation?
  3. WI Filisola and Urrea continue to try to crush Texans revolutionaries/pirates after Battle of San Jacinto with Santa Anna dead

    it really comes down to supplies... the Mexicans were having problems getting them. If they can get enough together for one last campaign, then Urrea is likely to crush Houston. If not.... then the Mexicans are likely to head south and prepare for round 2....
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Swiss had to keep him. The Americans and British managed to get his family out using military aircraft and threats to the various militias that were so severe that the militia groups thought that the WAllies actually might mean them. They lived under Swiss diplomatic protection (with funding...

    WIP Map Thread

    Thank you! The naval extent of the song is primarily oriented around the east indies, while the kongsi can extend into arabia, particularly towards kuwait and then into the swahili. I plan on possibly having Andalusia and the Majapahit to mutually colonize/trade, with eventual kongsi organizing...
  6. Best strategy for Santa Anna during and post texan revolution

    This. Urrea was likely the best military commander on either side, and would have made mincemeat of the Texans. Partly by being a decent man who wouldn't have slaughtered captured Texans as SA did.... one of the after-affects of the Alamo was that the Texans thought they had little to lose, as...
  7. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    That there would be a Part 29? Yes, there certainly was a Part 29. There will probably even be a Part 30! <Files the draft away> :evilsmile: Yeah, the inside of the ET is wide - on the order of about eight meters wide. It's got a lot of space for things that are designed to be launched inside a...

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

    I generally think the need to defend Kuwait's sovereignty and protect Saudi Arabia will force President Hart to act against the Iraqis regardless of his feelings toward the subject. However, regime change will be very unlikely as long as Hart and the Democrats continue steering American foreign...
  9. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I think the post already said Hart chose Lloyd Bentsen as his running mate.
  10. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Not with Stalin in the middle of recapitalizing and restructuring his army after the Winter War showed major deficiencies he won't.
  11. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Don't have Rian Johnson do TLJ and Solo might well make some money, or at least not do as badly. Rise of Skywalker might well do better as well. The latter should at least be better made as it doesn't have to be quite as much of a mess trying to walk back Johnson's nonsense.
  12. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Virtually every medium has a creative work that has become synonymous with commercial failure. Theater has Carrie: The Musical. Film has Heaven's Gate. TV has Supertrain. These and many others have become virtually synonymous with the term bomb. Your challenge is to take an infamous turkey and...

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

    Poor Antonia! I hope Giovanna helps little Agnes to grow up happy even without her mother.
  14. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well, it depends on staff and well, sometimes it's just a certain case
  15. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    You'd get "The Old Wolf" and "Princess Kiki" instead. I mean, how could you NOT make a movie based on all of the adventures Kiki has had to date? Marc A
  16. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    BTW, the amortization expense of HSR in CA alone (if it is ever done and actually stays at the $100 billion) over 30 years at 3% is $5 billion a year. Which means if 100,000 actually take it every year it will cost $50,000 a year per person in capital costs ALONE. No maintenance, no salaries ...
  17. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I have an idea for a show. It's about a girl named Emmy who lives with her family. Her family includes her father, Charlie, who is kind of incompetent, and her mom, Anne, who is secretly the only sane one. She also has two brothers, Charlie, Jr. and Dan. So basically Malcolm In The Middle with...
  18. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    I reread the first chapter of the story and now I think I know the answer to my questions; Pius IX, I'm afraid will refuse, and a Roman Repulic will be declared.
  19. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Bullwinkle is another classic series that Barry Diller dug out of the vaults to fill the Cosby vacuum at NBC. Translation: Moose and Squirrel are back in primetime.
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    I think communism is both "horrible" and "it just didn't work." TTL Soviet Russia lost the war, became effectively a slave state/puppet of Nazism, collapsed into Somalia-style warlordism once Molotov's powerbase was gone, and relies on outside charity to barely function. Definitely not a...
