  1. How early could a horse-bus public transport system be successful?

    I think you could get horse drawn trams relatively early (1600s), but buses no. I don't think there was any city ever where a horse drawn bus service was ever profitable on the long term.

    WI: Oda Nobunaga doesn’t get betrayed

    If that the case, if the Oda Clan were in a position of Power, and no other rival could challenge them, could they form an Oda Shogunate? Also, I would like to ask if Oda Nobunaga continued his conquest of reuniting Japan, without anything going wrong, how long would it take him? And what would...
  4. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    My prediction: Iskandar the younger is going to recruit the prisoners into his own army, and soon after will get killed by his own troops for being a Roman patsy. Seeing his best friend die like that, and his dreams of a permanent alliance on the eastern border die with him, Ody goes "so that's...

    New York Times Short Movie Reviews, 1988 The Dark Side of Glamour The neon lights, the hip soundtrack, the flipping bottles, the excitement, the raw sexuality: this is the shiny veneer of Hyperion’s Cocktail. You could be forgiven for going into Cocktail expecting a light, fluffy, summer...

    WI: Castilian-Portuguese union instead of Castilian-Aragonese union?

    Another way is for Henry IV of Castile to have a daughter with Blanche II of Navarre after Isabella of Castile was conceived and prior to the annulment of Henry IV of Castile and Blanche II of Navarre was granted, but this marriage would include Navarre, this daughter will be another Juana.
  9. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    It sounds like the Avro Athena and Boulton Paul Balliol in reverse. They were new aircraft that were originally to be powered by turboprops, but then they decided to use surplus Merlin engines. I'm guessing that this was Austerity Britain trying to save money. This is a new engine fitted to an...

  11. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    who's pushing the mongols to europe? It should be something that's happening in Siberia/Central Asia, so its either 1. new steppe empire that Trebizond has to deal with, 2. something in northern china happening, so Manchus/Uighurs?, 3. the Uzbeks somehow becoming ascendent.

    WI: Castilian-Portuguese union instead of Castilian-Aragonese union?

    The only option I see is a definitive Portuguese victory in the battle of Toro, putting in the Castillian throne Joanna la Beltraneja. Probably the Castillian nobles allied to Portugal would gain influence and power in the Castillian realm, they could bring the Libro de las Leyes/Siete Partidas...
  13. WI Italy discovers oil in Libya in early 1930s?

    The issue with development of any oil fields anywhere in the world in the 1930s is the price of oil during much of that decade and the impact of the Great Depression on company/government finances. The cost for a barrel of oil was at or below 1 US dollar per barrel. It went as low as 65 cents...

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

    If Disney do not get the Long Beach Sea Disney concept passed but it gets built in Japan like OTL do you think the City of Long Beach would sell them the Queen Mary ITTL instead of Disney Japan making a copy?
  15. ECM /recon version of mig23

    I've long wondered why the MiG-23 didn't get the dedicated recce/ECM-escort treatment given that pretty much every** other platform in the inventory did. A handful of organic ECM jam-cans amidst a massed MiG-23 strike seems reasonably plausible to me as what-ifs go. A MiG-23UB with a slightly...
