  1. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    In case anyone is wondering, I have picked out the marriages for the girls already - except Kitty who is going back and forth between suitors right now as one might expect from her. While her love life will have it's own...quirks, if you have an ideal marriage for Kitty then I'll see what I can...
  2. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    I have to compliment you for a fair analysis, Alessandro. 👍👍 Pius IX was the only figure which would be acceptable to the Delegates without opposition or too many second thoughts. The Presidency, as offered by Ferdinando/Cavour has some strings attached, though: the "Principals", which may not...
  3. Early Discover of Oil in the Middle East

    Exactly. The lack of reserves could promote investment. Not sure what Japanese companies were doing about oil so I'm mainly engaging in hindsight by mentioning them but French companies were investing in oil prospecting in a tonne of different places and the French government owned stakes in...
  4. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    Well if Elizabeth and her posse are a gaggle of teenage girls, I can only give one of them a steady romance ;)
  5. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Huh, poor Xon. Considering his character's actually been built up in TOS, I hope ITTL Kirk handles his death in a less cavalier fashion than he did in OTL's TMP.
  6. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    Oooh, I sense a love drama coming....

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    It's not a problem for the end user but with the manufacturer where all there machinery is intended for one type.hard to justify idling one set of machine tools when they were in short supply.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    They will discount some of the stories as being the typical tales of defeated troops explaining away their defeat. And many of the stories will be exagerations - can they read between the lines to understand exactly what happened? Probably not

    Threadmarks: Accounting for Amphibious lift

    Very good question. Here is my basic accounting. Currently the TTL Pacific Fleet amphibious lift capability is a little more than 1 division able to be assault packed and lifted from Hawaii to anywhere of interest to the west. OTL, the US Central Pacific offensive was concurrent with Overlord...
  11. WI: Hellenistic Tarim Basin?

    I shouldn’t have said “only” but securing the Tarim Basin was done, as I understand, as part of the campaign of the War of the Heavenly Horses, which were desired, of course, for use against the Xiongnu. Its all one interconnected web.
  12. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    Following the post collapse of the warsaw pact and the peace dividend the US begin to draw down their armed forces during the 90s This happens alongside a resurgence of Hawaiian nationalism (a popular 'brave heart' style film is made in the early 90s) and the events of the 1893 overthrow of the...

    How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    They'd end it when it begins to destroy trade, which I only think would take a few decades. It's probably replaced with a new form of sharecropping and company towns, in other words, they do just change the labeling and semantics of the same product

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Ok, sorry for the delay, guys. I've been kinda busy these latest days. This is some good news, I think, even more so because I've been writing a lot lately. I hope to a big update by the end of the week, but, as you know, I have some trouble with deadlines. In any event, I'll be replying to...
  15. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    Short answer: no. Longer answer: if you can make a reactor, you're close enough to making a bomb that with some directed research, you can do it, and the advantages of having one means that someone will.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    I understand, just thought it would be interesting for Anne to reply that to her disbelieving father.
  17. What if Rome discovered America?

    Masilia launched cross Atlantic voyages although to my knowledge no one succeeded in it. Romans on the other hand are not the exploratory types and had no drive to push into the Atlantic. The only way I can see them do this is if someone else does it first and takes of extreme wealth, gold and...
  18. How can Roman republic be saved?

    Best chances with a PoD before 100 BC. One needs to do something to curb the growlng wealth inequality and guarantee more equal representation of the population in politics
  19. A swift Republican victory in the Spanish Civil War?

    OK, that makes sense. Or @The Galaxy 's proposal of just apprehending the conspirers goes through. Both sound fine. Well, yes, the geography is good, but Spain's fighting forces would not be. Yugoslavia is, likewise, a place well-suited for partisan fighting, yet the Nazis established control...
