  1. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    Rewatching bits of it right now, that's the feeling I get too. If John Wayne has to be in the movie, I agree with @marathag that he should play Taggart. That said, the role is perfect for Slim Pickens, so I can't say it'd be an improvement.

    If Nobunaga can find the little glance over of legitimacy he going to exploit it

    What are some likely convergences?

    On the other hand, colonization starting in Mesoamerica as opposed to the northeast may have been a fluke. Especially when you consider the Norse and maybe the Basques.

    WI: Oda Nobunaga doesn’t get betrayed

    Okay, just wanted to revive this thread because I discovered something interesting I just discovered Daijō-daijin or Chancellor of the Realm was traditionally a title held by Fujiwara decent. This is one of the reasons IOTL Hideyoshi create his connections to the Fujiwara, by being adopted into...

    WI: What if ERE seized the First Fitna and sent an army to reconquer the Levant?

    Yeah, not happening. The empire is not in a good spot right now and is in no position to go on a great reconquest. Perhaps a few minor yet strategic positions are retaken far earlier than IOTL but that’s it and I don’t know if that’s even obtainable. Only way I could see an ERE attack into the...
  7. WI: What if ERE seized the First Fitna and sent an army to reconquer the Levant?

    Eh he kinds mostly took advantage by going to the Balkans and defeating the slavs and did some minor things in 659 but then made a peace with the Muslim . Assuming the mast pod he can do more damage I mean in that scenario he does have complete naval dominace but even I say reconquering the...
  8. WI: Ford had built the Mustang as a wagon?

    I've never heard of it. Thx. :cool: I do have to wonder what GM was thinking. It's not like the 2.8 was exactly producing mountains of torque...:rolleyes: It wouldn't have been too hard to develop a stronger axle for the next model year. (Unless the Chevette's lifespan was already about...

    WI: What if ERE seized the First Fitna and sent an army to reconquer the Levant?

    Historically the ERE did make moves to take advantage of the fitna and Muawiya sent a letter stating that he would join forces with Ali should the ERE invade.

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I also intend to consider economically hobbling the Soviets as their computerization of the planning of the economy becomes brueaucratized. At the beginning I disagreed, with a few posters on whether or not computerization could solve the problems or at least the worst excesses of a planned...
  11. WI: What if ERE seized the First Fitna and sent an army to reconquer the Levant?

    How? Uthman asssination is still likely to happen Uthman's interference in the provincial affairs and his problems with egypt long predate 655. If you are referring to no fitna because Muawiyah looses ? Then no again other important people like the governor of egypt and others so yeah a civil...
  12. What are some likely convergences?

    The main colonizers of the Americas being on the Iberian Peninsula and the British Isles. Geography demands they build excellent navies and places much less pressure on them to worry about massive armies. Japan modernizing as OTL and not some other power. For reasons that have been discussed...
  13. No Antitrust created or limited to union busting in the USA

    More support for socialism, and in turn, support for socialization of the trusts, with the nationalization and worker control of the trusts.
  14. No Antitrust created or limited to union busting in the USA

    Anyway you could the avoid the various antitrust laws in United States or just limit their use to busting Unions. With the United States dominated by monopolies to the Present. What would be the impact on the American economy

    Excatly, they couldn't at all, no battle of mast no fitna either
  16. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    The thing about the Golden Horde (or Ulugh Ulus) was that it was actually a Turko-Mongol state, similar to the Timurids. Something I would love to see in this timeline is that instead of there being a Slavic and Orthodox behemoth called Russia that terrorizes their neighbor across the black sea...

  19. ECM /recon version of mig23

    ELINT tends to be a little less in your face than SEAD. The Russians used various aircraft for ELINT including various variants of TU16, AN26 etc, though they used Mi 8 as comm jammer aircraft. They were tactical jammers used to interfere with NATO Voice and tactical data nets. The US used...
