  1. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Not any additions I can think of to make life better for the crew, aside from making the engine easier to start in the cold and making maintenance easier (as with all tanks). The only boxy designs I can think of that effectively push aside snow, however, are rotary snowplows, and those probably...
  2. If grace keliy had stuck to acting

    Doris Day was the top female entertainer in music and film for 2 decades – as highlighted on her Wikipedia page, “she was ranked by Billboard as the top female vocalist nine times in ten years (1949 through 1958). During 1960 and the 1962 to 1964 period, she ranked number one at the box office...

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    At the very least. Austria-Hungary did not have an army in 1914. They had three armies, none of which worked well together, one of which could barely work with itself on good days, and that was just one of their issues. There was also the complete lack of unified railroad standards. There was...

    Down in Dixie: CSA Victory TL

    Part of the CSA debt was in cotton bonds sold in London to be paid for in cotton and high-risk unbacked loans sold in the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_war_finance#Debt_finance Hard to say the TL does not give much information on how much the CSA spent compared to OTL...
  5. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    To help people focus: was Prohibition an act congruent with a nanny state act? What could have gotten it criticised by anti socialists as nanny statism? What could have driven prohibition to be viewed as a limit to capital? “The family” wasn’t cemented as a fetter until the 50s and all kinds...
  6. WI: Bush Appoints John McCain Ambassador to France

    First World for the most part (Western Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, along with the more stable counties in Southern Cone). There are major posts that go to "names" but they tend to be long term heavy hitters from the Party in the White House (China, India, Israel, ROK,Russia) since a...
  7. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    You can send me a PM if you want.
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I wonder if Blockbuster is going to be bought by Berkshire Hathaway, Wometco, News Corporation, or Zayre. I feel like Blockbuster, regardless of ownership would have been wise to team up with Microsoft on a streaming service.
  9. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Oh, thank God! Yeah. In that case, it seems that anything's possible. Got any ideas in the pipeline for new Movietoons shorts? Or do you need help coming up with a few?
  10. Supersonic troop transporter aircrafts

    A MACH 2 transport won't change that. All that it will do, at most, is reduce the loss rate. Even if you are talking about overflying a 3rd World Country there is simply no need for it. If they don't have the ability to take down a 707 then they are not going to tangle with any country that ca...
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Without Tex, Audrey would've been the bland, saccharine character she was IOTL. So yeah, the Avery influence is still there. Also, yeah, it's certainly not everyday Ruegger and Stones would work together. But then again, in the original American Magic, Daniel Abbott, 27, and Rachel Stone, 24...
  12. TL-191: After the End

    By the way, when does Maximilian die, if not, abdicate the throne? What's the line of succession like afterwards? Does this actually mean Prince Agustin becomes the Emperor Maximilian II mentioned in How Few Remain (since he was most likely the adopted heir apparent), as he would've been barley...
  13. Supersonic troop transporter aircrafts

    Tankers can be pretty expensive too right ?

    Threadmarks: Chapter 57-The Lands Sheltered From the Storm

    -LVII- "The Lands Sheltered From the Storm" The journey of the greatest sailors of the New World began in disaster. The earth shook and belched forth great clouds of ash and the land froze even in the summer under the most frigid weather imaginable. These sailors of the Ringitsu people, wished...
  15. Down in Dixie: CSA Victory TL

    This TL is not dead, but I do have a question before I resume the TL, how much war debt would the CSA be in? (a numbers estimate)
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    A delay in the advance, as well as being necessary, will also help a fair bit, allowing supplies to be brought up and stored, and also for Jerrycan production to get going in India, which will also markedly improve the logistical situation over OTL.
  17. Supersonic troop transporter aircrafts

    Good points But are you thinking of air drop pod or capsule from bombbay?
