  1. A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Seward/Lincoln? An actual diehard abolitionist on the ticket is probably going to make things worse. I mean sure it was Hamlin in OTL, but Seward is literally the forefront of the abolitionist/anti-slavery movement.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Something odd happened when I first loaded the images. I re-did it and they should, hopefully, be OK now. 🙂
  3. Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    The Russians agreed with everything except A-H being allowed to enter Serbia freely to conduct police actions, something no Nation would allow and that was included in the ultimatum to make sure there would be war. The A-H army was not ready for war. Loosing would mean an end to the Empire, and...
  4. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Quote all of it or not at all. The point being is that unless the Soviet Government allows at least Finlandization any East European government will look like a puppet government. I admit that I don't think Socialism can work but that wasn't my main point. My point was that East Europeans...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    I didn't know there was such an offense. Sorry. "He is Risen as he said"
  6. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Regarding construction costs, as I said recently the USA (and the UK too unfortunately) seems to be really good at spending twice as much to get half as much as other countries do. I'm not really sure why. I quoted France building 400 km for estimated €12 billion, that's supposed to be...
  7. The Forge of Weyland

    My latin is not so good so I got some help "Hate the sin, Love the sinner" translates to Cum peccato tibi odium esto, sed dilige peccantem

    Alternate Migrations general discussion

    The collection of peoples who comprised the Andronovo culture migrate eastward, crossing the Bering Strait into the Americas.
  9. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    And why is that? Because socialism can never work and free market capitalism is humanity's only hope?

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Agreed. It's been less 'muddling through' as 'being pragmatic', which has a whole different set of associations to the word. It's not been 'making it up as we go and hope for the best', it's been 'we can make use of this as the situation develops'. It implies a whole extra level of...
  11. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    Split the difference. Call it Wigan. :p
  12. Rommel goes to trial.

    Likewise Von Rundstedt and Guderian. There will be calls to put him on trial, just like the decision to just let Heinz Guderian go free without trial after 3 years of internment, was met with loud protests from the Soviets. But looking at his record, I think there’s a good chance Rommel just...
  13. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    Take an eastern part of Manchester’s collected conurbations and adapt it - Stockport-on-Sea :)
  14. Photos from Alternate Worlds II (read FAQ first)

    Uh... I-I don’t know how to feel about this...

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    Ah, letting the Serbians handle the investigation. That would go over really well
  16. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    It's something that is feasible if they had the full year they wanted, but to get it done between Dec 81 and April 82 isn't as the timeframe is too short. Only A4s could be refuelled in flight and I don't know if the Mirages and Daggers could fitted with IFR, it depends on wether they have...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    In AANW millions of people were forced to raze major Slavic cities like Moscow, Leningrad and Warsaw. How large of a German guard force would be needed to oversee this (specifically an individual city)? As an OTL comparison Auschwitz had a guard to prison ratio of 1:35 and the Reich managed to...
  18. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I think there may be some warehouses in Downtown LA or in the Fashion district that can be repurposed as sound stages. The baseball park ITTL is home to the Angels (MLB; AL West). The LA Lancers, the NL squad, play at Anaheim Stadium. The Rams built MCA Stadium on the part of the Chavez Ravine...
