  1. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    I choose just to ignore what @CalBear described as “artillery barrage” style: it does not make sense to argue if the only thing you are getting back is repetition of the meaningless slogans. In practical implementation “Hand over that land to those who worked it” means punishing successful...
  2. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    That's interesting. However, I'd do it differently. I'd make the change at the First London Naval Conference. The Japanese would refuse to accept the USN:IJN Category A cruiser ratio of 18:12 (or 3:2) unless their tonnage quota was increased from 108,400 tons to 120,000 tons plus the right to...
  3. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story
    Threadmarks: 1997 NAHO Season

  4. The alternate US of the Great Nebraska Sea.

    A somewhat dangerous assumption - one imagines that the Believers would more likely be split between 'God is dead' and 'We did WRONG - REPENT! REPENT! REPENT!' types (so there might be some secularisation, but the odds are in favour of some elements going EVEN MORE hardcore). sanpro, thank...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    No comments on 2nd London. Truth to tell I never understood the British persistence on reducing armament to 14in when both Italy and France had already laid down 15in gunned ships and anyone with eyes to see, expected the Japanese not the accept any reduction either. The plans were there in...
  6. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    The source doesn't distinguish, but yes, Hood and Renown were sent to the Med. Repulse was going through a deep refit at the time. Hood stayed at Gibraltar while Renown went on to Alexandria. While I've been unable to identify all the battleships assigned, Queen Elizabeth, Valiant, and Barham...
  7. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    Short answer: No Longer answer: Not a chance in hell Last answer: Oh. man not this ---- again.
  8. The alternate US of the Great Nebraska Sea.

    This honestly sounds quite fascinating - it's fun to imagine some retrofuturistic tale of the Distant Future of AD 2021 as imagined by the 1970s showing the struggles of farming communities struggling to hold their ground against the glamorous new cities of the Interior Sea (possibly showing the...
  9. The Forge of Weyland

    Wrong Mole, you need this one.

    Alternate football (Soccer) documentaries

    Parma might be another one, they were this close to winning the championship once. Except, the Parmalat bankruptcy that brought the team down IOTL is probably unavoidable, so the likes of Buffon and Thuram might do what they eventually did with Juventus, and stay in order to bring the team back...

    The Eagle of the East, Rhomania: An Eastern Roman Timeline (1196 - 1245)

    It'll likely be down to a 'fight' over trade routes to India from around Africa, which eventually leads into the discovery of the America's. Honestly I haven't given it much thought since it's over 200 years away. But it is an interesting question.
  12. AH Cultural Descriptions

    A term used during the Zion War (1967-1971) for the genocide of Syrians (Hamster being a derogatory codeword for them used by US forces). Kongo &$#% Yourselves
  13. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    I lived on Kwajalein in 1962-1963 (with my parents, my dad worked for Bell Labs). I saw many “Zeus“ test launches, including the first “successful“ intercept of an Atlas missile fired from Vandenberg (apparently it was close enough to be considered a kill if a nuclear warhead had been fitted)...
  14. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Theoritical is the key word in that sentence, followed by the reality that the NEWEST 15.5cm armed cruiser in the fleet couldn't mechanically approach the needs of that level of fire.. Theoretical is often just that, theory, never to be seen in real life. Theoretically the USN 6"/47 Mark 16...
  15. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    That I am not sure of. I think Quebec would not want to join for a while because of it being mostly French in an English-speaking world.
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Okay, this is going well for the British, not so much for the Italians.
  17. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    Pit the United States and Great Britain on opposite sides of a war - possible with WWI with a 1900 POD, with the US as a co-belligerent with the Central Powers rather than an ally - and have the Royal Navy attack the Hawaiian Islands during the ensuing conflict.
  18. Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    Could LBJ retain his power remaining in the Senate? It's been floated before his power would have waned if he did not ascend to VP and the Presidency. Getting squeezed between the new crop of liberal Senators who distrusted him and segregationists + not having the power of the executive...
  19. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    I think some people are jumping on this a bit much. Really the alliance isn't broken, yet. And from a reasonable perspective the British are being incredibly generous here. Greece gained significant territorial concessions when the British could have simply offered to bomb Athens instead if...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    To be fair, Pelley's America is a shithole. The America successors and Chinese states are some of the best content in the game IMO. Oh, and South Africa; though I think the racist path for that is too effective.
