  1. Comte de Dordogne

    What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Why would they buy Louisiana? France already had a weak historical, cultural and demographic attachment, Russia has none of that.
  2. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    True but it wouldn't be forced comedy, it would be natural to the character
  3. GauchoBadger

    What are some likely convergences?

    Don't forget Constantinople...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I'm not so sure about that, the oasis garrison looks light considering it's guarding an open flank.
  5. Umbric Man

    What are some likely convergences?

    Where else would be likely? And good-sized for relative to where it is should count, too - I'm sure Manaus is probably your best bet for a locale deep in the Amazon, for example, even if it isn't exactly going to be on the tier of a metropolis everyone knows the name of like a Beijing, Moscow...
  6. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    The Germans would recover quicker, Hitler was actually pretty lazy and the government tended to run without him for the most part and a 1940 there was a clear successor In the Soviet Union nothing could move without Stalin's approval and being the paranoid type there was no clear successor The...
  7. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Well the British are well-prepared, over-prepared if anything.
  8. US-Township BAM 2: All of Them

    Yes, Virginia, there is a District Boundaries Map: And here's one for your little sister as well: Currently working on Kentucky.
  9. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    So if you dismiss CIA and Soviet statistics both as unreliable than what is the base for your conclusion? Firm belief in your own correctness? You dismiss the only sources of hard numbers but still pass judgemenent. It literally make no sense at all. 'Soviets fudged the numbers, so I now will...
  10. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    Whoever came up with that death trap should have been confined to a padded cell and forced to go cold turkey on whatever drugs they were taking.

    Aside from Axis or Confederate victory, what is the most common AH scenario?

    1. Chinese or Vikings establish settlements in North America 2. French Canada or French America
  12. 1988 Republican primaries if Reagan resigned over Iran-Contra

    George Bush is about a dozen layers of fucked in 1988 - if he’s associated with a scandal that blows up as badly as we’re suggesting here, he doesn’t stand a chance unless the Dems completely fuck it up (which they kinda did OTL but it didn’t much matter.) I don’t see Reagan resigning over...
  13. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    The steel involved in the BB’s is specialized not just in the armor type but also in the type, thickness and size of plates. Freeing up the steel is not weight, but also the difference of sizes. Example would be instead of say a 12 inch thick piece used for some machinery bedding, you might...
  14. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Taxation is not stealing if you are not radical libertarian. And of course if Soviet state didn't collect grain as tax from peasants then cities would starve instead of rural areas. It is a thing about famines, someone will starve. Red Army was commanded by the same kind of people before and...
  15. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Is their a chang they can buy french Lousiana? (either royalist or federalists)
  16. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    I'd argue that in this scenario, there is a 99.99% chance that the royals will either freeze, starve and/or get eaten by a tiger before they even make it to the Pacific.

    Are we going to do this without the obligatory Aerocycle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Lackner_HZ-1_Aerocycle

    What do Ottomans do in Persia, Arabia and Egypt if the UK is defeated/wounded by USA?

    I do not think that the TL stays the same until 1914. If the USA is a CP and the Ottoman's are neutral then the Ottoman's may not get involved in Persia until the 1920s. Or if the timeline changes so that the great war occurs in the 20s or Anglo-American relations slowly deteriorate to war in...
  19. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    One point not considered in questions of "Jerusalem Pope" is the allegiance of the military Orders (the Templars and Hospitallers). They were a major part of the armed power of Outremer, but their allegiance was to the Pope, not the King of Jerusalem. If there is a "Jerusalem Pope", does he...
  20. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    I am not sure there would be an immediate impact on the war. The German offensive would have rolled on and the Soviet response would have been about the same. The real difference might come if the Germans could capture Moscow in 1941 before reinforcements could arrive from the Far East...
