  1. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Already a good start to the new Movietoons. I mean, it isn't any day where Tom Ruegger and Tad Stones would be on the same workforce. And it looks like the first new Casper short is a hit with audiences. Just one question: Will Judge Audrey, and presumably further Audrey shorts, keep the Tex...
  2. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Notzis instead of nazis? It’s the usual problem these kinds of TLs come up against. I don’t see how “no Barbarossa” affects British decision making in ‘40. How would German intentions for a year from now change what the British would do in the aftermath of Dunkirk?
  3. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    The main problem with this is the Northern Patrol is essentially a tripwire for the Grand Fleet. The Grand Fleet was based in Scapa, as was the Northern Patrol. The Edgar class may have a 5-7 knot disadvantage in speed but all they need to do is sight the G&B. The Edgar class will be replaced...

    Threadmarks: Fox Movietoon Revival

    In the summer of 1985, the first of Fox's Movietoon revival shorts was released. That first short, a Casper short called St. Louis Boos, accompanied the theatrical release of The Black Cauldron. St. Louis Boos puts Casper in the 19th Century Missouri of Mark Twain's Tom and Huck books. Many...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    The ants we see are 100% space ants. Jamestown was made in the 1960-the 1970s. It's now 1983 so ten or so years of evolution would make it worth studying them. Still, I'm sure you could kill most of them. Just ensure that the queen lives to make more and enclose them in a box.
  6. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Just did a Google search about alternate Russian Alaska maps/lore, and this one pleases me. To me, it's interesting to imagine "Russian America" as a cultural region akin to Latin America or Anglo America. Just imagine all the Russian architecture and cultural evolution that could take place...
  7. WI: Earlier Democratization in Hong Kong?

    POD: ~1945-50. Between the tail end of WWII and the latest Chinese Civil War the situation in the Crown Colony of Hong Kong was rather... chaotic. However at some point during the drawing up of the Young Plan someone shoved a proposal for a largely elected Legislative Council for the sake of...
  8. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    You're talking about less than one tenth of one percent reduction in global emissions. That seems like a hell of a stretch to try and justify it as having an impact on all parts of the country.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    ...to be colonizing any time soon. Then again the French don't really need to be colonialists right out of the gate to be a great power in Europe (*looks at Prussia*). By the way....there's some other great contemporary historical figures to draw from in India if you ever move towards...
  10. AH Cultural Descriptions

    It was probably written in a word processor... possibly Word. When text is transferred, Xenoforo can turn a paragraph space into three, depending on the settings. That's caused me all sorts of headaches on SB when I update my stories there, however infrequent that has been of late.

    AHC: Cold War between Religious Communism and Atheist Capitalism

    Yes. First, while the Catholic Church doesn't primarily deal in economics, the church's economic teaching could broadly be defined as center to center-left. While the church isn't necessarily opposed to capitalism, it does view capitalism as needing limits in order for it support the common good...
  12. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Europe after the encirclement of Warsaw and the fall of East Prussia.
  13. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    I know, it always seems to pivot in AH on Hitler and the Nazis not behaving like Hitler and the Nazis. I was just thinking smarter German moves might have given Churchill and the British politicians fits, especially if a smart move was no Barbarossa in 41.
  14. Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    A competent chief of staff would have told Franz Joseph that the chances of success would be very low if Russia intervened. Basically, give the military appraisal of the situation Conrad is a bad general because he expected more of his Army than it could possibly deliver. Austria is destroyed...
  15. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Except it isn't a massive part of it, is it? It is a tiny part (passenger travel) of the economy of a populous area. If the NEC wants it they have more than enough money to pay for it. Virtually all the benefits go to the NEC and almost none anywhere else. The NEC would get 99%+ of the benefit...

    Supersonic troop transporter aircrafts

    Would these help?, although they aren't supersonic? The Lockheed CL-1201 The Boeing PELICAN?
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The making it up as we go approach is prevalent in all armies simply because as situations develop you have to adapt to them. For the British army in WW2 the professionalism was always there, as much as it is in any army at least. The British problem in WW2 was that during the first few years of...
  18. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    A HSR does have impact on every part of the country, it has impacts on every part of the globe. It reduces emissions by allowing people not to drive or fly when not necessary, which impacts literally everyone. By reducing the need for cars, it reduces peoples need to use the expensive transport...

  20. If grace keliy had stuck to acting

    And since all of Day’s vocal success stopped in the 70’s, Kelly’s vocal career at a one quarter amount of that would not be that extraordinary.
