  1. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Kudos to Puzzle. Rail of any sort is perfect for the single passenger going from central city to central city on private or government business. It is inferior to the automobile for the multi-person family on a pleasure trip.
  2. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    This is a really great timeline. It's well-written, from the characters to the alternate history itself, and manages not only to tell a story of an alternate history, but also grants insight into actual history as well with all the details. I look forward to the next update!

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

    They would be more likely to create Western-style colonies, but I think it's important to not discount China, since they would be the ones doing the exploration and imposing their will across most of the Pacific. The style of colonialism I'd expect from them is quite different from that of...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I wouldn't go that far. The bomber attacks were definitely intended to break morale the same way German terror bombing was. But...well you have the issue that motivations aren't binary. You don't go for the option that causes terror OR one that causes actual damage to war industries when you can...
  5. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    The first Italian monoplane fighter airframes were as good as anyone else's, they were let down by their high drag, average powered radial engines and light armament. Italy needs an engine at least as good as the best of the Hispano Suiza 12 Y's being licenced by every 3rd country in Eastern...

    1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Is there a plausible way for Italy to improve the manufacturing capability to produce sufficient numbers of top-flight engines? The performance output needs to be there of course, but the quantity of units does too. If there's going to be an inherent production shortfall, let it be on the...

    1920: Progressivism Triumphant, the Fifth Party System and Beyond A Wikibox TL

    I’ve tried to find his birth date but haven’t come up with anything yet
  8. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Nimoy is still doing Mission: Impossible from time to time, but that series is starting to come to a close. It ends in 1973. The TV movie will be dazzling from a special effects standpoint for TV but no theatrical release
  9. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    As say before, early print would make a mess of the Qur'an but that is where all printing technology would goes to, to make easier and fully accurate Qur'an prints, but that is going to take a while anyway
  10. 1920: Progressivism Triumphant, the Fifth Party System and Beyond A Wikibox TL

    Forgot to list the age of E. R. Meitzen of the Socialist Party. Also awesome update! Can't wait to see where this doesn't go!
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    And they might be even more efficient than someone doing it just for the kicks: "They looked for skilled and dedicated craftsmen to follow the art of making things as tough as possible for a recruit; a bully is too stupid, himself too emotionally involved, and too likely to grow tired of his fun...

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    Wonder how Democrats will deal with this since it was their sanction that cause this. As for the Republican presidential primary, I expected Newt to dominate the south, or at least put up a better fight. Can’t wait for the Democratic Primary and the Reform. Another excellent update, Benedict.
  13. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    But even if Spain or Portugal only allows the bare minimum of coal which would allow Goeben to steam back to Germany, that practically guarantees Souchon would not order a path through the English Channel at low speed since it’s suicidal. Instead, this would restrict him to the course of raiding...
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Hm, if it is Rommel who's sent to command the Afrikakorps, and he does immediately go on the offensive, what's the chances of him being killed/injured/captured al El Agheila?
  15. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Yes, moving to the fighter monoplanes is a must. Ditto for improvement of armament - already having fighters with 4 HMGs is a good improvement. I'd revert the 'air-cooled engines mantra' ASAP. It pushed Fiat away from that they were getting better - V12s - in the late 1920s/early 1930s into the...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    If Kemal was entertaining ideas of war at this point, that would be a casus belli I bet. But with the current mood of France and the UK being appeasement, Greece would have to think twice, unless it's ready for a preemptive war.
  17. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    All it takes is one man (the Agent) in a port with access to a wireless. It doesn’t even have to be his own wireless set, a public one would do. The minute the Goeben or Breslau turns up to coal, a message could be sent at the least to inform the Admiralty that the German ships were in the...
  18. HMS EAGLE in the Falklands (Story Only)
    Threadmarks: We're on our own, we're playing for time and its running out

    Port Stanley, 24th May Why wouldn’t the bastards just come and get on with it! Brigadier Menendez having locked himself in his office in government house (formally occupied by Governor Rex Hunt) allowed himself a brief moment to vent his frustrations and despair while no one was able to see or...
