    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    If Truman was his VP? Probably not, considering that Truman was a smart politician who would not talk like that to the President. (He would talk like that to Molotov, but not to the leader of his party).
  2. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Federal law ignored by individual states- wonder what Calhoun would have said?
  3. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    This is why the Soviets designed Krug and Kub in the first place, no point in adapting S-75/125s and S-200s to self-propelled mounts when you could design missiles that would be more adequate for that role. They were upgraded to have better ability against low-flying aircrafts anyway, not that...

    That sounds interesting, could you post a link?

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Broke: this will all benefit the Candarids Woke: this will benefit the Ottomans Bespoke: this will help usher in the Albanian Neo-Byzantine Empire
  6. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    On the one hand, a larger Allied land force and ~3 weeks earlier in the calendar means it is possible the Allies advance further east before the absolute worst of the winter weather hits. On the other hand, the Germans, while overstretched on multiple fronts, do have a larger army themselves...
  7. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Ope, you're right. Gordonia sounds better anyways.
  8. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    The excellent Emily VanDerWerff has picked the show as her one good thing for the week.

    I like that quote a lot! Rings true, too. See also: American victory disease post-WW2 only being corrected after Vietnam and to a lesser extent Grenada

    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    The difference is that Truman would chew Wilson up, gargle and spit him out. Marshall took it and begged for more.
  11. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Perhaps. But at the Falklands only two of Von Spee's cruisers were in range of the harbour. They would have needed to regroup before attacking. And they had already come under fire from HMS Canopus, which was grounded in the harbour and being directed by an observation station on the island with...
  12. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    Which still doesn't require you to somehow lug these giant missiles and their radars with you to the battlefield. Best to leave them as theater assets.
  13. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    Exactly. A nuclear deterrent is only effective if your opponent knows its there. If they don't have a clue that it exists, it's kind of failing in its purpose.
  14. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Yes, they'd have to rapidly expand the runway, by flying in the engineers and materials required to do the work. The ground troops allready there would provide any unskilled heavy labour required. As for the Mirage, with them there the Vulcans would not be able to safely operate. As for Chile...

    Threadmarks: Orthodox Mongols (Unfinished)

    Another unfinished map. The premise was that the Mongols converted to Christian Orthodoxy, the rest is just me making random lines on the map.
  17. The Dead Live: A Hundred Years' War Timeline

    You INTENTIONALLY went into a three year dead thread (actually dead for 1118 days), to give an "atta' boy?" PM exist for a reason.
  18. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    That was the safer way to go. Stating you merely want to reform the system and not abolish it is a way to prevent a violent reaction from the Polish government or (worse) outright invasion of the USSR.

    Could the Kingdom of Afghanistan succed in westernizing itself? If yes, how would it look like today?

    How it would look like today on the best c as se scenario?
