  1. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    The impression I get seems to be they were mostly intended for the sort of work we use small drones for now. Really low level recon. I can see why there would be interest. See man carriable drones. But yea. The tech didn't make it practical yet.
  2. VPOTUS holds a cabinet position.

    Wasn't the vice president, for quite some time after the foundation of the US Republic, the candidate who secured the second highest votes in the electoral college?, if that is the case I'd really doubt if the elected president would allow his rival to get into the cabinet, would undermine the...

    Threadmarks: CHAP 25 PART 1 - The Kingdom of Sweden in 1933 [I]

    The Kingdom of Sweden in 1933 Thou ancient, thou free CHAPTER 25, PART 1 Sweden’s time as a great power in Europe had been long over by the 19th century. Their loss in the Great Northern War was a clear indicator of this. However, their contributions to the 9 Years War proved that they were...
  4. Map Thread XX

    I really really like that scenario. Now I want to listen to some Avarian. :D Can you list some Avarian words and the English translations? :D You mentioned "Bavaria" and "Prussia". Is Germany disunited in your TL? And where does Bohemia belong to? Really good work and cool idea. :)
  5. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    Then any kind of NATO-resistance is a perfect invitation for a WMD retaliatory. And therefore your thought construct is quite pointless.
  6. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Can anyone make an Iberian Union flag? It has to combine both the Spanish and Portuguese republican flags with the coat of arms at the center left side.
  7. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    Nope. It's not 1953. Everybody votes for Molotov because everybody understands the war is not a time for this.
  8. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    Yes that's a very important point. France had one of the biggest auto industries in the world in 1940. German truck production was never able to keep up with demand. I think they only produced 400,000 trucks during WWII, and there were so many types, including captured vehicles that...
  9. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    A major problem was that post-Soviet leaders were economic illiterates, they had no personal experience with how a free market works. This allowed oligarch to loot the few industries which gave a surplus. This was worsen by the fact that the Soviet economy was dominated by large companies. To...
  10. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    I did wonder with Wellington holding the title of Prince of Waterloo with a 2600 acre estate in the Netherlands (OTL, the estate is in Belgium but the title is originally Dutch), whether this might have been mentioned or whether you're keeping this in store. He's also the Duke of Victoria...
  11. WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    And your point is? In 1919, *nobody* was doinfg anything for Blacks. Racial justice had been a dead issue since at least 1890, and had been barely breathing even then. And as others have noted, Marshall could hardly have een worse than Wilson and might even have been marginally better. Aside...
  12. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Bad day for the Caucus. But a broken-up Kartvelia would be good for Trapezous to digest in small spurts here and there. Yeah, the northern half will be wrecked or ruled by warring remnants, but this might be the start needed to turn the Black sea into a true Roman lake.
  13. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Poor Patton. Always wanted a glorious warrior's death but never got that wish, only to die from an undetected landmine. :teary: Sleep easy, you God of war. Sleep easy :cryingface:
  14. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    I wouldn't even say that people disliked communism. Many people just disliked the current state of affairs - the lack of democracy and the repression even of well meaning criticism.

    Threadmarks: The Election of 1956: "It was a Damn fine Brawl" President Elect Patton November 7,1956

    Patton vs. MacArthur The Election of 1956 would be one of the most bombastic elections that America had seen in a long time. Both Parties would end up with highly contested and long conventions heading into the election season of 1956. The Republicans would after 106 ballots would nominate...

    Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    It wouldn't just be nice for the USSR if Stalin could have made a less than awful decision about Finland, it would have also saved many Soviet lives and made it easier for the USSR to fight against the Germans. As it was, Stalin ended up taking the worst possible option: to attack Finland, but...
