  1. Lady Visenya

    How could the Roman Republic survive into the present day?

    Byzantium/Rome *did* maintain the Roman "Res Publica" ideal tho. It evolved and changed but that core was always there, Augustus wasn't lying when he said he restored harmony to the Res Publica. Because "Res Publica" isn't what we understand as a particular form of non-monarchic government. It...
  2. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    The system would have been extremely effective in thinning out a strike and reducing the damage done while horribly complicating the targeting picture. It was also where the money has been going, and expanding it is much much faster than an all-new system based on repurposed ICBMs and Talos...

    Everything Has Gone Green: The Consequences of Googling Murray Bookchin

    That was my fault there, I’m not going to change just because SF-WP is the clunkiest possible party title in the world (I see why they changed it).
  4. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    It would be hilarious if the Albanians are the biggest threat to Constantinople. Joze served in the Ottoman empire and was able to pull away some of the manpower. If he's smart he'll keep wrecking some of the frontier Turk bands and absorb the remnants into his army to compensate for going it...
  5. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Honestly, I'd forgotten that the Furutakas were rebuilt like that. If the twin 8" turrets can be reallocated towards an earlier rearming of the Mogamis - IOTL that rearming was delayed by the need to manufacture new turrets for the Mogamis - then I could definitely see triple 15.5s substituted...
  6. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    So that looks like a 52-game schedule, which, assuming no ties, means there should be a total of 260 wins and 260 losses. I counted 115 wins in the East and 121 wins in the West for a total of 236 wins. I know there are always bumps in the road for any new league, but if they’re playing only...
  7. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    the topic hasn't nearly been discussed as much as Sea Lion, yet. Also the japanese were way close to succeeding with that than the Germans were with sea lion. Lots of ifs, close to ASB, but not full-on unnameable sea mammal.
  8. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 59: March 1971

    Articles for today: FRAZIER KAYOES ALI IN FINAL ROUND, RETAINS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE New York Daily News, March 9, 1971 After one of the most captivating buildups to a heavyweight title fight in decades, the spectacle between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali did not disappoint. Both of the master...

    Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    Did I miss mexican american war happening same as otl or is that map wrong?
  10. Lincoln Lives: How a failed assassination changed the course of a Nation and a newly freed people

    I've actually considered pushing up the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by a decade, haven't made a firm decision yet, but yes I like the idea there of Sherman and Blaine working with Garfield (especially since he doesnt die in this TL by assassin). And true, in OTL Custer was a LT Col when he died but...
  11. ECM /recon version of mig23

    Interesting.. I sort of took it for granted that the bombing capability included the ability to use nuclear weapons, but I never really looked into that in any detail. Thanks.
  12. Alternate warships of nations

    No, no... They decide that Britain and everyone else is WRONG and that straight coal is the only viable fuel option. (And that's only because almost no one will buy your argument for sticking with sails and oars :) Well that's a bonus under the circumstances isn't it? :) "Secondary" purpose...
  13. Photos from 1983: Doomsday

    Does anyone posted any FFL in Guiana photos?
  14. WI: Willkie Wins in 1940 - Does He Still Die in 1944?

    The problem is that we have a Republican Administration at a time when the Democrats held (66) seats in the Senate to the Republicans (28), and there were certainly times where there were major if futile fights over nominations to the Cabinet. Harry Hopkins for example was easily confirmed...
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    The biggest problem I have with The Epic of Gilgamesh is that it has some rather sexual themes in places that are not particularly subtle. One (in)famous example is a "Great Journey" of six days and seven nights at the sanctuary of a ziggurat where neither Endiku or the priestess of Inanna in...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    More CSS stuff. Assuming the civic-military coup happens (similar to the OTL 1964 coup), there will be three major factions on the dictatorship, these factions are present on all routes but here they are the protagonists. The first is the hard-line, composed of despotic and fascist figures...
  17. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    The scientist needs an artistically creative imagination. (Max Planck) Making Indrik Zver a super spaceship wasn’t easy at all. The pusher plate had already been manufactured; it hence was a given – if one didn’t want to start from scratch again. But the original design had been copied –...

    Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    Okay, that's very true about the real cost of colonizing the wreckage of ITTL Cambodia But at the very least I can see Hà Nội deciding to expand Vietnam's southern border a few miles westward to incorporate the remaining Vietnamese in Cambodia if Cambodia does just implode into this hellhole
  19. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    I've asked Calum Douglas at another forum about whom designed the 2-piece block for Merlin. He has it verbatim from Packard, in Aug 1940, being surprised that RR has designed a 2-piece block. link
  20. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    "Transylvania Station about a quarter to four...." I do get what you mean about Brooks' type of humor. Back around 2007 I saw "The Producers" in Vegas with David Hasslehoff as Roger....as much as hearing those notes of "Springtime for Hitler" always makes me smile, I felt most of the rest of...
