  1. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    Pretty much. Though if he actually WERE advocating Hawaiian nationalism, the impact of the GOP's demonization might be a little more damaging than what they were able to achieve IOTL by saying he was the illegitimate son of Malcolm X.

    The Forge of Weyland

    So for the moment all the Dutch can do is dig in and hold on ? Tough times for Holland . Hopefully they will be able to hit back at the Germans in the future. They will certainly have some scores to settle.

    Babies head?
  4. In the absence of George Washington who becomes the first US President?

    When exactly does he diie? If it's before the Constitutional Convention, there may not even *be* a Presidency in the sense we know. Thet might go for an Executive Council of several members, being replced in rotation.
  5. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    Okay, here are my thoughts on this. First on the Eastern Front: Hitler is convinced to drop his "hold at all costs" order and allow a careful tactical retreat as the Soviets begin their counter offensives. Hitler allows Paulus to attempt a break out of the 6th Army from Stalingrad. Hitler's...

    Threadmarks: Narrative Interlude #33: Case Rubicon

    Case Rubicon Villa Borghi, 6 April 1848 - Noon Prince Ferdinando was quietly congratulating Camillo Benso on a speech very well done, when his aide approached him: "An urgent message from our embassy in Rome, Your Highness. It has just been decoded and is marked Priority/Secret." "Thank you...

    Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    doubtful. The Greek-speaking areas of Southern Italy were very small even during this period. The land is settled by Latins and the Byzantines lack the population to heavily colonize it especially when Greek colonists would be better used in the Balkans & Anatolia. Even in territories where the...
  8. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    There's a Percy-Grey match coming up, Eleanor Percy (Lizzie's elder sister) is engaged to a Grey but now that could be interesting...though he may get combined with the original character that we had for Kitty's husband. The course to (not quite) true love eh.
  9. The Forge of Weyland

    But not quickly. and to limited effect. There is the whole passage of the lines things - so where are the horses, is it worth the losses to haul one set of artillery kit and associated wires, switchboards etc out then put in another regiment and all its kit, bearing n mind that phone wire is...

  11. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    Historical rivals of the Hastings and Neville family respectively. Not sure why I'm pointing this out but seeing a petty feud between em re-remerging over Kitty's hand would be interesting.

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I wouldn't go so far as to say Henry made a mistake (we did get our first Queen Regnant out of it...) but I do agree that Katherine definitely made things a lot worse for herself and Mary... If the Pope refused Katherine a dispensation to marry Henry, then she would have come back to Spain, at...

    Threadmarks: 24 May 1040

    24th May 1940 Britain An urgent meeting is convened at the Air Ministry to discuss what can be done to help the Dutch against large city-targeting air raids. After considerable discussion, the conclusion is 'not much at the moment'. The problem is twofold; first the RAF is short of fighters...

    Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    Another possiblity could well be a Grey, if there are any around. After all, Kitty is a Howard and the Greys are distant cousins to the Queen through Elizabeth Woodville. It wouldn't be a bad pairing. Or failing that, a Percy?

    Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    That's the same thing. They didn't know if it would fizzle, leading to the unused 'Jumbo' containment vessel to save the plutonium, or so big a yield to ignite the Nitrogen in the atmosphere, per Teller on Fermi's bet on how well the Gadget would actually do(Arthur Compton put it at 1:3million...
  19. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    So what do the beaches look like in TTL Fester? Is it still Omaha, Utah, Juno, Gold and Sword or do they have different names and a different amount of landing beaches here? Also will the beach landings in Southern France get names as well?
  20. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I was actually picturing something more akin to Rockwell's proposal for the X-33 program, just with a pair of Shuttle/Atlas III LRBs bolted to the side to give it a proper kick in the early stages of flight. Lines up with the fact that ex-Rockwell/Boeing seem to be the team working on Shuttle-II...
