    A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    Hopefully this purge eliminates parasitic aristocrats the Empire is honestly better-off without.

    A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    But you’d think that if they were angry about it that they’d talk to Majorian before supporting any rebellion. Pope Leo seemed to be more of a diplomat than rebel. Good. Bringing in some gold definitely be good for the imperial coffers.
  3. Have Buck Rogers In The 25th Century be as successful as Star Trek

    Youtube recommended some old 70's sci-fi and fantasy series to me recently and I did a little digging on Google as to backgrounds and relationships to other shows. The simple fact is that getting two seasons in the 70's constituted a runaway success on US Television. Most genre shows lasted 10...
  4. WI: Albert Einstein, President of Israel

    Was Einstein even remotely interested in such a position? He was a physicist not a politician. Becoming President of Israel would take time away from things he was actually interested in.
  5. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    I figured that'd be the case, and thanks for your thoughts! I've never heard of Montfort before, and googling it comes up with places throughout the UK. Worcestershire, Leicestershire, and indeed Merseyside and Lancashire. Supposedly it's a French family name? What ties it to Liverpool-Manchester?
  6. AHC: Stalin Strikes First

    I know. I mentioned him simply to point out that there are at least a couple people with actual academic credentials who do think that Stalin was planning to attack Germany. I kind of doubt that's true, but I'm interested in a possible ATL where he did in fact attack first. That is the...
  7. A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    Thanks glad to hear your enjoying it. Well the awnser for the church part if quite simple. Majorians reforms that stopped alot of women from joining the clergy. Otl he did do the same reforms. However he was always on campaign and we never really got to see what the church thought of this...
  8. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Boeing Phantom Express: Rockwell X-33: Teledyne Brown Engineering Spaceplane: Less of a lifting body, more of a tube-with-delta-wings. Most of these designs and others are propellant tanks which are empty during descent, meaning even if they have the same overall length/diameter as the OTL...
  9. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    More like 35-40 states don't benefit from it and costs trillions of dollars while accomplishing little. Also I think a lot, if not most, of that money should be cut. If it benefits mostly Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan then we should pay for it ourselves. If you are going to spend that kind...
  10. The German Century

    Well, Stalin was a well-known antisemitic psychopath.
  11. AHC: Stalin Strikes First

    Why would Stalin attack? Stalin only attacked smaller neighbors and even those only to secure the strategic position of the USSR. A full-fledged war against Germany was not his strategy. Every year that the MR-pact survives without a war, the Soviet Union will just get stronger and can Germany...

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Huzzah, at last, a purpose for the H2 tank! Getting the new airlock and fittings set up, then cutting the tail off to make space access, is going to be a very interesting bit of work. Looking forward to it! I wonder if after all the practical experience with orbital construction someone gives a...
  13. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Ottimo capitolo. (Very good Chapter) This offer to the pope is shaping itself increasingly more like an offer he can't refuse.
  14. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    That is peculiar, but it only happened one time, while expansion happened several times. 24-28-31-33 24-16-more-more (have never seen them counted) (Oh, I forgot those 24-not in use-18 for the armanen runes, but was anyone using them?) But those were still Germanic phonemes, not for writing any...
  15. Timeline Elevator Pitch: Stuck with The Right Stuff

    Quite unspecific. On the Shoulders indicates that Gemini's first funding came from Webb redirecting money from a pot that Congress had given NASA to spend on, basically, whatever they wanted to, as long as it could be couched as R&D. It wasn't exactly the '70s yet...
  16. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    As Uncle Nikita learned, it didn't work like that. Even Stalin had to purge violently the party of his opponents for decades and after Stalin there was no leader who had the power to recreate these purges. The Soviet Union was no personalized dictatorship, but a dictatorship of the bureaucracy...
  17. Never Stay More Than Three Years: Another Dr Who TL

    1983-1986: Ian Mcshane The Seventh Doctor is a bon vivant and raconteur. He loves to tell stories about his past experiences. While this can be annoying to his companions especially Billie Morgan (Angela Bruce) more often then not the stories contain tips about how to deal with various...
