  1. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Well, I didn't mean to discard the whole plan altogether, but to avoid its otl form that enabled the massive purchases of shares by certain few. If it was done in a way like the one you described, then it may work. Perhaps if those shares were also non-transferable and partially or fully...

    I just want to say that not only is this an very aesthetically pleasing map, it is also one of, if not the, best Lord of the Rings AUs that I have seen in any medium. Very well done!
  4. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    I think I can see the disconnect here, the German armed forces certainly seized food (and clothes, blankets, firewood, horses, livestock, hand carts, anything with an engine etc). Basically because they ended up having to live off the land because their logistics had issues. But a lot of that...

    Yes as per Jose María Monsalvo Antón's Historical Atlas of Medieval Spain those were the ones known to have been lead by families of saqaliba origin that came to Iberia first as slaves during the Cordoba period.
  6. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    The Bulgarians would not go for this in a million years, as they would rightfully see this as a Greek attempt to assimilate them entirely. I would genuinely expect the Bulgarians to prefer the status quo to becoming the Slovakia to Greece’s Hungary.

    Chapter Two Thousand 3rd July 1970 Rio Gallegos, Argentina The quarters they had been assigned turned out to be every bit as bad as Jost had predicted and they had already spent several days just making the barracks livable. The buildings were in were only a few meters from the concrete...
  8. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I was going to suggest one of the Navareese princesses (Quiteria of Navarre might be released from her vows, or maybe she hasn't made them yet or butterflies could keep Buenaventura of Navarre alive) but Navarre's complicated right now. So: Renee of Bourbon if you kill off her husband, Antoine...

    Beach Camel, 0700 May 14, 1944 Two steel and concrete reinforced bunkers dominated the eastern edge of the beach. The landing craft that had been queued up in neat ranks and waves were now scattered as the anti-boat guns had scored a pair of kills already. The eastern attack force kept on...

    German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    I take some issues here, mainly because you're taking the POD as being after Operation Uranus starts, rather than in September like the OP states. Taking the oil was absolutely needed to continue the war, even if Germany decided to adopt a defensive posture, so just leaving the Caucuses without...

Just because I know, that immediately, this kind of stuff is going to go in certain directions, I'd like to state unequivocally that despite my...
  19. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    An Anglo Italian war in the 30s is one looked on fondly by people wanting a Britwank scenario. If Britain doesn't need a Mediterranean war during ww2 they can have a fleet for the far east and/or can contain Germany earlier. People have to realise though that depending on the time line it...
  20. WI: American Panama?

    Surprisingly, I cannot find any examples of this scenario on the board. Of all the countries people have suggested the US annex, Panama is one of the most logical. It had a low population, was strategically vital after the canal, and was a relatively rebellious part of Colombia. The US had...
