  1. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    I think that you are both correct. That is cruisers and sloops had peacetime and wartime roles. The peacetime role, which (as @CalBear crudely put it) was keeping the locals in line/show the flag. Though, I'd put it as intimidating/deterring the unfriendly locals, assuring the friendly locals...
  2. Abbasid caliph Al-Mutawakkil isn't murdered?

    The biggest issue is that no matter the origin of the Mamluks in question, these Mamluks were given to each prince as a form of bodyguard. Factionalism in the period was developed by each prince possessing his own particular guard who would obviously become his partisans, ensuring that upon the...

    Threadmarks: Story 2522

    Portsmouth, England mid-afternoon May 13, 1944 The harbor was almost empty. The whores were finally resting. The bars had seats available. The sounds of men no longer filled the air. Half a dozen scows were still running about. The drydocks were busy repairing ships that had been damaged...
  5. Why did Jimmy Carter fail as President when he had 61 Senators and 292 Representatives when he was elected?

    along with internal problems, Carter got hit with several problems beyond the USA as well... no matter his working relations with Congress, things like Iran and Afghanistan pretty much sunk him beyond recovery...

    Alternate Armoured Vehicles of Nations

    ^^^ Where would the M-551 Sheridan fit into this concept? (evolutionary vs revolutionary). Any other non-MBT armored vehicles that might have an altered path from history?

    Bush House BBC Overseas Service Desk, London May 13, 1944 The large microphone rested on the mahogany desk. The sheet of paper rested gently on the bald man's fingers. He waited until the music finished and the bump was done. "This is BBC OVERSEAS DESK with messages to our friends on the...

    With a Commission signed by the Governor and Instructions from General Howard to raise hell with the Mexican line of Communication the colonel now called for volunteers and he quickly got all that he needed and then some. He had ex-Confederate, California Militia, and Us Cavalry men...
  10. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Most definitely. Agreed, combine that with Ned already starting to show some political promise and the Yorkists may have a very good ride ahead.
  11. Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    After doing some reaserch it appears the urban and ruling classes of Sub-Roman Britain were Romance speakers while the rural peasants were Celtic speakers. So if the Saxon migrations never happened or were repulsed what is the most likely situation? Urban peoples and leaders adopt Celtic...

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    I wanted to go a bit more in length now that I'm at a computer(was on Phone when I first responded). The Blob-Definitely will be covered in Film, specifically in the 50's. Though it's not going to win an Academy Award or anything. I'm honestly not sure what changes I'd make. The Beatles-I did...
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Fantastic update Allen, it's interesting to see the establishment blurring the lines between infantry and cruiser tanks, finally cottoning on that while there are differences due to doctrine requirements the OOB need not be completely rewritten to satisfy Wavell's needs.

  16. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Wasn’t thinking about anyone giving children the right to vote in elections. Children can’t (legally) go out and buy a gun despite the wording on the 2nd amendment being equally vague, for instance. I do see your point in incorporating some focus to any amendment though. Not sure if @Red_Galiray...
