  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 10 February 1941. El Agheila, Libya.

    ...manoeuvre. Lomax agreed that a suitable force should take up positions there to secure the oasis. After some discussions, a troop of Valiant I* tanks, a Company of infantry, with a couple of field pieces, some anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns should be enough for a garrison. The Royal...
  2. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    Colonel Mosby's Raiders drove the Mexican Commander crazy. He would appear out of nowhere and destroy critical supplies for the Mexican Army in California. Two troops of his cavalry conducted a raid into Mexico destroying supplies and the rail connection. He was very careful to treat the...
  3. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    The Germans wouldn't be ready in time, so they wouldn't do it. You'd need very weird events for it to be otherwise.
  4. AHC: State (or independent country!) consisting entirely of counties adjacent to the Mississippi

    OK, this map derived from is about contemporary politics: But it inspired this thought: can one imagine a state (or independent nation) consisting entirely of the counties adjacent to the Mississippi ? I think an indpendent country serving as a buffer state between the US and other...
  5. What if afganistan didn't exist and instead was partitioned

    A unstable Pakistan if Pashtuns and Punjabi’s have parity
  6. Explain the AH Quote

    Text from Magellan's History of Africa, 5th Year, a history textbook from the Republic of South Africa. The passage discusses part of the root cause of the present animosity (and the three 'minor' wars since the great War in 1929) between the Confederation of the Congo and the Central African...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    With star trek finishing lts five year season, how would it butterfly Star Wars franchise into?
  8. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    Was there any benefit in fitting SA2 and sa5 with nuclear warheads ? You can create essentially air burst over your own territory? So why did they continue to have nuke tipped warheads until 80s ?

    Richard of Gloucester marries Mary of Burgundy

    True actually. Better yet Charles VIII can help Louis get one!

    What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    I suppose but if France stays away from Iberia, for the most part they won’t have conflicting ambitions. Though a feud between both branches is possible, though that is assuming Charles VIII leaves a son.

  13. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    An old post of mine: *** The idea that the Eastern European nations were colonies of the USSR in the same way as India was a colony of the United Kingdom is absolutely ridiculous. Most of Eastern Europe had higher living standarts than the USSR itself, and the Soviets concluded quite some...
  14. What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    I don't think so, they'll do whatever's in their best interests, and stopping French expansionism is probably better for them than sitting back, it also depends on their network of alliances. Besides OTL there are plenty examples of cousins of the French king not being pro French.
  15. Alternate Italian Unification Discussion Thread

    I figured this is the best thread to ask. What were the Papal States, Two Sicilies , and the Granduke of Tuscany hoping to achieve by sending troops to fight along with Sardinia? Obviously they weren't really serious as they got cold feet quite easily and ordered their army to pull out, but was...

    What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    True, this also means the Reformation will be weaker. Though with the cousins of the French King ruling Spain they could be pro-French.
  17. Richard of Gloucester marries Mary of Burgundy

    Ah Ok, I see but the writer can have him experience a head injury for example, these can fuck with one's brain.
  18. What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    Spain also against French ambitions in Italy. They were natural allies with Austria-Netherlands Absence of Spanish-Austrian union would be better scenario for both. Spain wouldn't spend their money on a global Christian empire and politics north of the Alps. Habsburgs who would be control...

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

    Godzilla: Lord of Fire- this sounds Awesome! Animated, proper proportions, thought about movement, volcanos- it’s got everything! Also great success for Bluth and Kyoto Studios. Wonder if Jim Henson enjoyed watching it? Great chapter @Geekhis Khan and @GrahamB
  20. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    Ah so likely in that scenario, Isabel would have had Salisbury as it would be alright with her being a Countess suo jure as far as I understand it. I'm debating about what to do with Gloucester as a whole, given Richard as Lord Protector could have made arrangements perhaps? As we had him do...
