  1. Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    That's the exact quote, so I guess it was decently foreshadowed.
  2. British "Civilization"

    Make it into a desert and call it peace.
  3. Pull a Meiji reatoration on Qajari Persia before Russia wrecks them

    I cant say much against it :coldsweat: What would you say could be a good pod for Persia?
  4. TL-191: After the End

    David, I love your series. I have several questions about it! How are U.S. relations with Britain and France as of present day? Will there ever be a rapprochement? Is there a "United America" movement hat calla for the annexation of Texas? What % of people in Texas and the USA want a...

    The Spirit of Salamis- A Short Allied Victory in Crete TL
    Threadmarks: February-March 1943: Italy is Out!

    A GI receiving information from a Sicilian farmer during Operation Sunshine, such events showing the unpopularity of Mussolini's regime February-March 1943: Italy is Out! The genesis of Operation Sunshine can be traced to the wanning moments of the North African Campaign, as a cursory glance...
  6. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    It failed because no one particularly wanted it. States like WI turned down the money and turning it down wasn't even controversial. Unless the US government picked up 90%+ of the tab (including maintenance) HSR to Minneapolis made no sense for Wisconsin. The trains would have ran empty and...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    What were the Allies supposed to do? Let German factories continue to mass produce weaponry to slaughter their soldiers and to continue to build up defenses? The Nazis weren't going to pull their punches and strategic bombing was a tool that saved countless Allied and Soviet lives. Was it...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I don't really see this happening. The answer to Matilda II in July 1940 was the 50mm guns and the extra armor (the latter was actually in development before the battle), both of which were proven to work against this threat. The Valiant I doesn't change those calculations, and in any case the...
  9. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Sometimes single-role aircraft are effective and superior to their multi-role counterparts (the A-10 is way better at what it does than, say, the F-16), sometimes the multi-role aircraft is a better solution to addressing a variety of missions (...but the F-16 can do a lot of other missions the...
  10. The Forge of Weyland

    One good thing to know is that OTL many French soldiers surrendered AFTER Pétain's call to stop fighting.
  11. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Thanks for the list. The blockade would be a long range one, with the RN stopping shipping hundreds of miles away, or by cutting off trade at the source. Countries would be discouraged to trade with Spain. The USA was the major supplier of oil, and would've shut off the tap. Spain imported food...
  12. For a Gore Prosperous Tomorrow

    1,I sure there are people who will buy it ( including me). 2 , sometimes people have different opinions so deal with it.
  13. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Because it is godawful expensive (CA HSR is now estimated to go over $100 billion, within a few months or a year at most they will probably come up with an estimate of $125 billion or $150 billion) and there is a lot of better things to do with the money. Contrary to what you seem to think the...
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    @allanpcameron thread marks missing.
  15. WI: Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn Survives, His Wife Dies in Childbed

    But he may venture further to influence politics in his favour, he regularly sat in the Lords.
  16. Resurgam

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It's a bit like the aliens who wipe out humanity in The Killing Star - species don't survive through self-sacrifice. You see a threat, you end it.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    well, the Soviet grafted the KV-1 mantlet onto a Matilda after torching out the 2pdr internal mantlet so with a slightly larger turret ring on the Valiant, can't see why not
  18. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    Technically it's not a lead time for the Tomcat. It's more that the Tomcat is the third attempt at such an aircraft, after the F6D Missileer and the F-111B.
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Nope it happened in WW1 - the RAF was created after WW1 due to Gotha bombers bombing London and other cities and the perceived need to have a single organisation for the Air defence of the UK.
  20. British "Civilization"

    It didn't go all that well for Horatio either on a personal level.
