  1. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    I suppose it depends on your perspective. Firstly my understanding is the (reportedly) less than 2% loss rate was for high level B52 missions flying more or less into the heart of the SA2 engagement envelope (along with having to deal with the possibility of Mig attacks, and large caliber...
  2. WI earlier financial reform

    What if the SEC and the FDIC were put into place in the twenties? I think it would take some pretty wealthy and important people losing a significant amount of their money to make it happen. Maybe a couple large corporations getting caught up in fraud investigations and a few runs on banks...
  3. Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    My predictions: France Portugal Germany Switzerland
  4. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    My assumption is that Goering will be a bit more pragmatic i.e. hold off from killing allies until AFTER they have beaten the Red Army.

    Threadmarks: Round of 16 2017-18

    The african dream would stop in the Round of 16 for two out of the three teams, but neither would go down without a fight. Senegal were the only first seed team to be eliminated, by Portugal, in two close games. The DR Congo went a step further, drawing twice to Switzerland and only losing on...
  6. How can Roman republic be saved?

    I know this is off-topic, but I wonder if that isn’t the fate that would befall a surviving CSA, with poor whites flooding the major cities of the Confederacy in place of the rural poor flooding Rome?
  7. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I heard Back to The Future was going to be next.
  8. Explain the AH Quote

    A summary descrbing EPR-128, talking about the supposed chavak, a monster that is described in the folklore about eating good people. EPR refers to Extranormal Phenomenon Record, of the EPR Foundation, a fictional organization documented by the web-based collaborative-fiction project of the...
  9. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Two parts of your update don't make sense: So first the Egyptians achieve a breakthrough, then the next sentence has the Israelis achieve their objectives? IMHO there's either something missing in the middle here, or the Israelis would not accept a ceasefire and negotiate, since it would be...

    In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Were that the reason, then the Slavonic churches would have schismed from the Byzantine rite churches by now. Or the Maronite churches with the Latin Catholic church. There were varying rites in multiple regions, the Celts and Anglo-saxons had their own rites as did the Franks with the gallic...
  11. Alternate warships of nations

    In 1918, fhe Royal Navy Air Service, fed up with their latest biplane aircraft running into the wire fence at the end of the landing deck, has HMS Furious re-worked with a simple wooden deck extension to supprt a 'fly around and try again' approch ..... (the angled deck is, of course, later...
  12. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    I wonder if in a world without Islam if the Church of the East or another sect of Nestorian Christianity might be able to further centralize it's organization and begin expanding. It was pretty successful in otl with churches as far afield as Mongolia and Northern China. Without a rival they...
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Oasis Garrison is performing a few useful roles for the British. The first is holding a strategic location to not only deny its use by the enemy but also make use of it for the British. Any advance the British are planning on will pass El Aghelia so the setup there will aid in that advance...

    Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    The Balkan League still would hold some slight numerical superiority and their armies had proven to be better tactically and operationally in OTL. That said their defeat here is certain, even if Greece and Romania kept neutral, which they'll apparently will not at least in the case of Romania...
  15. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    It also started at a much lower base. If I start with a penny and I get another penny I grew at 100%, if I start with a nickel I grew at 20%. It also had Lend-lease and was able to loot Eastern Europe after WW2, which really helped. The Soviets basically stole everything that wasn't nailed down...
