  1. WI: Longer Tulip Period?

    If the Revolt is crushed, it would establish a stronger precedent against coups which might butterfly Young Turk type shenanigans. The more open economy may or may not work out in the OE's favor, it's difficult to say. Opening one's economy and trading with the French in this era had to be...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    That's what happens when those in charge decide to 'politicize' a film or franchise. Folk like to be entertained, not indoctrinated when watching a film at the cinema. As the saying goes . . . "GET WOKE . . . GO BROKE!!!!"

    Thousand-Week Reich - A 'realistic' Nazi victory scenario

    I genuinely love whatshisface who's disabled who takes over after Zhukov. That's really the most hopeful path in the whole mod IMO. "Yeah, the country's a bombed-out ruin and we spent a decade being brutalized by our cartoonishly evil dictator and a regime that wanted to exterminate us, the...
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I actually worked under an editor who, while a cub reporter, was on the team that exposed Hart's affairs. He said the only thing more surprising than Hart's infidelity? The affairs they didn't get enough proof to print about. Hard getting the nomination may cause a Clinton esque chain of sex...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    To be honest, I think this thread needs to be moved to 'Chat' due to the politics of the question invokes
  7. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    More they spent an absolute fortune making it and another absolute fortune advertising it . It really didn't do very well.

    WI/PC: A Christian Japan

    While an Indian perspective would probably be welcome, for the most part Indian Christians are, by and large, no different from the Church of the East (except with some disputes over the exact definition of the humanity and divinity of Jesus, which eventually became a moot issue) - and, IIRC...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    That's Hollywood accounting, where even box office hits don't make money after 'all costs' are added in Otherwise, the Studio has to pay out the percents of Profit
  10. Photos of the Kaiserreich

    A platoon of soldiers from the 67th “Soissons” Regiment of the 38ème Division of the French Communard First Army pose for a picture in the streets of Luxembourg City, July 14, 1939. The Soissons Regiment(so named because it was recruited from the men of the city of Soissons) would see heavy...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Meteor (1978) Starring Sean Connery, Natalie Wood, Karl Malden, Brian Keith, Martin Landau. Get the studio to spend some extra $$$ and use ILM's Motion Control and get a better script . . . . 'hey presto'! Not only would you have a decent disaster flick that would make money, but it wouldn't...
  12. WI: Suleiman takes Vienna

    IMHO the chief goal of the Ottomans in 1529 was not to capture Vienna -- which was far too distant from the Ottoman heartland of Rumelia, and the control of which was not a reasonable possibility -- but rather to consolidate and expand their hold over Hungary, of which the Ottomans would likely...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    I guess the first issue is whether you are after a break through type assault gun or a SPG. The two types are designed for very different missions and, therefore, require very different solutions. Assault guns are, as you pointed out, more an engineering solution to infantry support than true...

    Have the IA 58 PUCARÁ be more successful in the export market

    Basically avoid the 'Falklands Wipeout' Having the PUCARA getting destroyed in droves on the ground and in the air puts the kibosh on sales. Air arms are going to look for more capable aircraft in regards to air to air capability unless they can afford a fleet of fighters that can sanitize the...
  16. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    The rotation is really an experiment till a standard schedule can be settled on, with a Classic episode on one time slot, followed soon after by a Reboot episode. Speaking of reboots, The Jetsons also got a reboot in primetime.

    Have the Morris Minor/1000 be as successful as the VW Beetle

    Thinking outside the box Set up manufacturing in Brazil, China, India and Mexico and continually take a modest 10% of the car market and keep it going until around 2005 as with the Beetle in OTL. Here's some average manufacturing numbers per country. Brazil 1950 - 1959: 0 1960 - 1969...
  18. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    In other words, it can get really noticeable whether an episode was made in the 60's or the 80's. Now I know how Looney Tunes fans felt when watching Daffy Duck's Quackbusters for the first time. No offense to Rocky and Bullwinkle fans, but if the rotation between old and new episodes were to...
  19. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Hitler wasn't a normal politician, making campaign promises. His ideological hatred was the driving force of his life. His megalomania told him he was destined to lead the German People to conquer the East, or to their destruction. He was convinced this had to happen in his lifetime, and he was...
