  1. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Don Bluth, Kyoto Animation, and UPA, three names I'd thought I'd never see together, but here we are... Hope Mr. Magoo or Banjo the Woodpile Cat made cameos in the animated Godzilla film in some form/way... Also, I hope Kyoto Animation's arson attack of 2019 will be averted ITTL...
  2. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    Absolutely correct. NATO ambushed those Spetsnaz after that "unfortunate" car accident involving a Soviet commander. I simply think the "quick" decision and approval from NATO governments to preemptively attack the Warsaw Pact rather "ambitious" bearing in mind all the potential backfire that...
  3. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    ...these panzer armies were largely starting from a period of R&R since their last major engagements, they are fairly quickly in in piss poor state* compared to how they looked at their starting positions. In this scenario they're going from fighting in Western Europe (so combat exhaustion...
  4. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    Well, at least the Tricolour symbolizes a republic, and a nation that, for the most part, the USA didn't have an ongoing series of wars and skirmishes with. But yeah. Kinda weird to see it on the flag of a totally landlocked state, though I guess not so weird when you consider that the original...
  5. Rohingya part of Pakistan, does Myanmar join Indo-Pakistani wars

    You would likely see constant skirmishes between the two nations and a greater sense of Pakistani Nationalism given their surrounded by enemies.
  6. Richard of Gloucester marries Mary of Burgundy

    Changing the personalities of historical characters is neither such an incredible crime nor such a new thing (I'm gulty of those charges). The real question is to do it and to make it belivable. You need a lot of suspension of believe to turn Caligula or Nero into sensible emperors. Of course...

    The Children of Camelot

    Ah, I see. So there is reason to believe Arthur Jr can be made Prince of Wales here.
  8. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    The situation in Romania is ......complicated. The King was agitating for an alliance with the Germans as early as July - but in OTL this was dependent on Romania agreeing to what IOTL became the 2nd Vienna award and ceding a large amount of land to Hungary. Germany could prevent Hungary from...
  9. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Sure, we could put ROTJ on the Wookiee planet if you want. It doesn't materially change the plot of ROTJ though aside from swapping out one species for another. The problem with the Wookiee planet IRL was they couldn't find enough 7"+ actors to play Wookiees. They couldn't really CGI a large...
  10. Wilson dies of a stroke in 1918 President Marshall allows Italy the Treaty of London Territories

    France had not be humiliated, if France had the same treatment of Italy will have negotiated Alsace-Lorraine till middle 1920 and obtained little more than the French speaking part and even asked to say Thank you The entire Adriatic question lasted more than an year, halting the entire...
  11. The Children of Camelot

    I don't think so. George III was titled Prince of Wales when his Grandfather, George II died.

    WI: Edward V married to French princess

    No one is saying it has to be the eldest. Anne or Katherine could technically be used instead, but I agree a Herbert match is probably the best Tudor can hope for. Possibly Margaret of Clarence, if her father still falls afoul of his older brother.
  13. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Aside from ILM getting more amazing shots of the Death Star and the space battle scene into Star Wars, it doesn't change Star Wars materially because that franchise is completely different and George Lucas maintains his vision for it. The story about Lucas being a Star Trek fan who wants to...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Yeah that was annoying because I was industrializing like mad and that 25% consumer goods hit really stung. I just went the liberal route over the fact I could keep both Egypt and most of Arabia as the Sublime. It also felt like the revolts in the Arab war were much smaller in that route...
  15. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    These were for earlier times to eliminate formations of aircraft. FYI, the US had the same on the Hercules part of the Nike-Hercules system untill they were replaced by Patriot in the 80s so the operational thinking was pretty similar. For the low level part the SA-7 Strela 1 and 2 entered...
  16. AHC: State (or independent country!) consisting entirely of counties adjacent to the Mississippi

    I can imagine it as a demilitarised zone, or a US-<insert name of bordering country or countries here> condominium. As a fully independent country...that's stretching things. What's to stop one of the bordering countries from exerting enough influence on it to prompt annexation? There would...
  17. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    for the same reason the Nike-Hercules was capable to be fitted with a nuke, to be able in a SHTF situation to take multipul targets for sure in one shot.

    Blue Skies in Camelot: An Alternate 60's and Beyond

    Yeah I agree, easy mistake to make though, many of his fellow Republicans were very isolationist.
  19. Alternate Italian Unification Discussion Thread

    Before answering, there are some distinctions to be made. The Papal forces (both the volunteers and the regulars under Durando) were tasked to protect the border between the Papal States and Lombardy-Venetia: Durando crossed said border against papal orders. Ferdinand of Bourbon had at first his...
