    What if Paul von Hindenburg lives to 100?

    Presumably Hindenburg steps down in 1939 and Hitler wins easily due to electoral fraud.
  2. A stronger Poland: what would be the effects on Hungary and the Balkans?

    Geographical conditions are somewhat problematic. Mountain ranges create a natural border, not impassable, but it is clear that they tend to shape the borders. There was a number of attempts to control lands on both sides of Sudetes-Carpathian mountain ranges - Great Moravia, then...
  3. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    For all the justifiable criticism of the Red Army they fought stubbornly, refusing to surrender until there was no other choice. When the Panzers formed pockets the infantry had to fight hard to reduce them. Without the Panzers making deep penetrations the Russians will just be pushed back, not...
  4. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    The US Air Force uses everything short of nukes but we're not going there with nukes. The Nixon administration, although certainly not soft when it came to warfare, never really considered nukes in Vietnam. They don't want to irradiate any part of Vietnam they think could be unified under...
  5. Visual art alternate history discussion

    African architecture varies a lot from place to place and time example the aksumite style of carving from the rock Compared to the sun-baked earth bricks or adobe of the sahel area

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

    Great that Trek is up for lots of gongs- hope they sweep the board! Drop Atomics along the North-South Vietnam border- that will stop any arms and aid crossing and being radioactive no one is crossing the dead zone to make war anytime soon...
  7. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    I've always been able to imagine John Wayne coming out with "You'd do it for Randolph Scott!".
  8. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Given that cowboy novels were actually very popular in Germany, we can actually refer to illustrated copies of those to see what a "Cowboy Uniform" designed by Germans would look like. Mostly deerskin suits with lots of fringe. Would still look really, really silly. While the recovery of...

    Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    I know you said Bulgaria would go independent ittl but I would love to see the 'Sultan of the Ottomans, Caliph of All Islam and Tsar of All Bulgarians' plan actually go through ittl.
  10. The Forge of Weyland

    Flattening the centre of The Hague would have killed civilians and ruined some beautiful buildings but would also probably increased Dutch resistance. Terror bombing of this sort was to light to be effective. You needed to ignite firestorms to really hit morale and that require greater bomb...
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    The Black Cauldron. Hopefully with Greg Rhodes as Taran and Laura Branigan as Eilonwy. As for the soundtrack, how about someone like Talk Talk or Kirsty McColl.

    Have the Westland WG.30 be more successful

    Have the Westland WG.30 be more successful with more orders, foreign and domestic. Would a larger version (SeaKing class) help instead of it being a Wessex class helicopter? Would a large RAF & RN naval version order help? What possible foreign orders could be made? Much obliged!

    Threadmarks: Chapter 62: Late night update, April 1971

    ...the war if hostilities resume." H.R. Haldeman: When the assassinations and coup occurred in Hanoi and Saigon respectively, I knew we were in the s***. Politically, we were in an untenable position. The Democrats in Congress were dead set on refusing President Nixon any more large troop...
  14. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Oh boy, its like Christmas all over again and you are a very harsh author! Davids first challenge is stupidly difficult and very tough for any ruler or general

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

    Yeah, that's probably where I would see a Gilgamesh film in terms of gore/violence, with a PG-13/T rating being the most likely, although it's possible that it could go to an R based on the sex involved in the film like with Enkidu and Shamhat or Gilgamesh and Ishtar. Really just depends on how...

    TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    Has anyone here talked about the Boxer Rebellion in TL 191? Would it include the CS alongside the other 8 nations?
  17. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Compared to whole "Convincing Hidenburg to appoint Hitler as Chancellor because Papen thought Hitler would be super weak and pliable and easily manipulated" incident it was a very well thought out and reasonable plan. And in terms of craziness it's still beat by the whole "Soviet Agent...
  18. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, when will The Black Cauldron release, if Care Bears beat another animated movie in the dust? As for that movie, I can't say that he didn't deserve his comeuppance. I can say that he deserves something worse than their most powerful property, both in raw strength in the cartoon AND in profit...
