  1. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    All I know is you couldn't pay me enough to go up in one of those. It looks far too easy for someone to fall to their death.
  2. Wilson dies of a stroke in 1918 President Marshall allows Italy the Treaty of London Territories

    Personally I think Italy might have bitten off more than it could chew here. It is a big addition to its territory and much of it in the Balkans. It might well have wound up regretting getting what it asked for.
  3. Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    1) again who says that ? Iam referring to the battle of the mast here . 2) and the Roman republic was a centralized state with a professional army ... 3) fair enough. 4) by most means it was closer to a client than vassal and again it was not like feudalism in this regard since it heavily...
  4. the best movies never made

    Nah- Clarence didn’t like Mr Potter & didn’t want to try & save him.
  5. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    These look like you could just fall off of them. Could be good for low flying search and rescue.
  6. Alternate Planets, Suns, Stars, and Solar Systems Thread

    The topography file I was at 80m intervals and I was too lazy to fix it for the great lakes. They're basically as OTL, generally a few meters lower actually.
  7. the best movies never made

    The policewoman was played by Sandra Bullock, who was trying to get away from all the “good girl next- door”” roles she had gotten stuck with.
  8. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    Exactly. I can’t I’m afraid- unlike some of the other posters on this thread- come up with an exact date the CSA would have abolished slavery- but I can say with confidence that they would have clung to it as long as possible. And that would have been a VERY long time(yes, quite a ways into the...
  9. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    That seems the most likely scenario, assuming that the Ming have enough interest and are able to overcome the logistical challenges that you mentioned
  10. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    Do you think Atterdag the US(or to put it more accurately, what’s left of it)would have been much poorer than it was IOTL?
  11. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    I guess small-scale like in otl Dutch and Sweden before it becomes large after the Qing conquest. Hmmm... so a better landing site would be near the Aztecs, just like with Cortez?
  12. Richard of Gloucester marries Mary of Burgundy

    Killing him earlier than OTL and leaving his widow Charlotte as regent for some years would be likely enough
  13. AHQ: Best strategy for Persians at Thermopylae

    True GuildedAge- but maybe the Persians were so overconfident(after all they vastly outnumbered the Greeks- which of course is why to this day we regard the stand of the 300 with such awe & respect)that that’s why they didn’t even bother(@ least for a while)to look?
  14. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiller_YH-32_Hornet http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/hiller_yh-32a.php Could the trend of ultralight weight helicopter and gunships take off during the sixties and deeply impact ground and airwarfare ?
  15. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    Somebody up thread once asked what happened to Ariana Grande in TL 191. I come to tell you I have the answer! Astronaut Ariana Lobosca is pictured mugging for the camera before the launch of the STS-376 mission from Liberty Space Center, 22 July 2013
  16. Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    The entire fleet was actually manned almost entirely by non-Chalcedonian Christian sailors. They also happened to be the one who built those ships.Whether they were forced to do so was questionable because theoretically they were exempt from military duty because that's what the extra tax was...
  17. Kennedy Forever

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

    Wendell Wilkie would have been a good president I think. Unlike most Republicans of the time he wasn't an isolationist and supported the Allies. His book you mentioned is really good. In fact it reminds me of Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech
  18. How realistic of an option was France joining the commonwealth?

    Well if the Commonwealth offer is accepted, presumably this marks a shift in the trend of European development and cooperation between London and Paris, rather than Paris and Bonn.

    Awesome. I hope to see it soon!
