  1. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    This post is meaningless babble with no actual point or counterpoint. Not even able to muster up an example of any sort. I'll take that concession.
  2. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Of you mean the whole of the east including the lands of the lakmids sure but Iam talking about oman area was not Oman was pagan , but syncreticied everything it came in contact with. Haasa, as well, was a bastion for pagan Arab beliefs and also harboring some Christian populations. The area...

    Explain the AH Quote

    A famous line from the 2007 exchange between Jeremy Paxman and Secretary of State for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs David Miliband regarding a gross miscalculation by the government, resulting in seventy Clydesdales, previously under government protection, escaping. The hiccup led to wide...

    Threadmarks: Chapter XIV: Battle is Joined

    Within hours of war being declared, Italian troops were already marching into Libya from Tunisia, which makes it sound like Italy had adequately prepared for this war, and immediately enacted their plan. Unfortunately for the Italian’s, these troops from Tunisia were the only ones really...
  5. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Just interjecting here...I've only read through the first couple and last couple of pages. But I became a hockey fan at the age of ten, when Gordie, Mark, & Marty Howe came to town to play in the (very!) old Sam Houston Coliseum. I talked my dad into taking me to some games there, and then later...

    Threadmarks: the lady of rage

    Robin Yvette Allen- the lady of rage Kenny was at times annoyingly oblivious, If he cared about what other people at the record label thought of him then he never showed it. So my first solo album was nessary roughness and that did pretty well but on eargasm I hit a wall It was like I was...

    AHC: Improve the New Super Mario Bros. series

    I think a rather obvious change I'd make would be a permanent roster of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Daisy. With another two characters making a total of six playable ones. Some of these extra two could be the Warios, Toad and Yoshi, or some other characters.

    WI: Edward V married to French princess

    I suppose, but if Richard III did think he was doing good then he and I have different definitions of good.

    WI: Edward V married to French princess

    It would definitely be seen as a blatant power grab by Tudor in his wife's name if he chose to pursue that course. And as well, there is an argument to be made that Richard III still thought that he was doing good by claiming the throne after learning of his nephews' and nieces' supposed...
  10. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    "Resources" in this framework means, first and foremost, communications and logistics. To get from European Russia to Siberia you don't have to build a big navy but to get from Asia Pacific coast to America Pacific coast you need ships and for getting any serious migration you need a lot of...
  11. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    One can toss in the Soviet maskirovka campaigns of 1942-45, many of which were executed concurrently with their combat operations on a increasingly sophisticated scale. By '44, the Soviets were effectively and continuously operating multiple Operation Fortitudes. And the Germans were duped so...

  14. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Do you believe an economic reformed USSR, who pulls a Deng (but adapted to Russian reality as an already industrial nation), could keep power over its puppets states in Eastern Europe? They would've to allow these sames states to pursue their own economic reforms, and this would likely lead to...
  15. WI: Edward V married to French princess

    In 1483? That's pretty much what his rep was.
  16. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    And those panzers, unless they got moved by trains were driving the whole way. The Germans didn't have a lot of tank transporters, they must have had a lot of serviceability issues the further they got into the dust and mud of Russia.

    WI: Edward V married to French princess

    I suppose, though to call him a faultless do gooder is a bit much. True, though that does depend on how Tudor's career in England goes.
  18. WI: Edward V married to French princess

    Richard III was seen as a faultless do gooder and was in effective control of the government, Tudor was neither.
  19. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    This is absolutely no explanation why the USSR didn't export capital to the Eastern European nations. As for the Marshall Plan, it wasn't some kind of humanitarian action by the US. Credits and developement aid came at the expense of the import of huge amounts of American goods and capital...
