  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I suggest you avoid using Pomo as a pejorative for the English/British .
  2. MotF 232: On A Pale Horse

    ...will keep samples of the blight alive for scientific purposes and, perhaps, as a deterrent weapon of last resort--a sort of economic nuke. *** I didn't think I was going to enter this time, but in the end I couldn't resist. This map was thrown together very hastily and with minimal...
  3. Photos from 1983: Doomsday

    A swedish police car near the norwegian border, 1984
  4. Delay declaration of war and entry of USA against Germany

    They won't be avoiding American troops in Africa and Europe. Unless they avoid attacking American shipping and naval units in the Atlantic. But that's not going to happen, because that will mean they completely abandon the battle of the Atlantic. There are several reasons for that: 1. there was...

    2021 Turtledoves - Best Early Modern Timeline Tiebreak Poll

    In the event of another tie, the winners are locked in an empty room with a single knife to help them break the tie.

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

    Let's say that instead of Castile and Aragon forming "Spain" in the 15th century, it's a union of Castile and Portugal that forms "Spain" instead. How would history change as a result? For starters, without Castile tied to Aragon and its Italian orientation, the Spanish monarchy is tied up less...
  7. Comte de Dordogne

    The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    My classes end in late March and my tests come in April-May. There are some subjects that I do well in, but others are more complicated. 😅 Thank you for your support. ? 🧐 Thanks for your support and glad you like it. I'm already glad I got so many votes for my first Turtledoves. I would be...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    You know, before posting a long and detailed criticism over the author's word choice, it might have been useful to enquire as to whether or not it was a typo.
  9. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    Do the French need/like the British more than the Italians?
  10. Gideon's Folly: What happens when the USS Monitor never shows up for the Battle of Hampton Roads?

    I would like to point out two things for the thread. Fort Monroe actually dint have any guns that could defeat the Virginias armor, it did have one 11" gun used for testing but its carnage had been broken down in order to make room for a new 15" gun, that hadn't arrived yet (really bad timing...
  11. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    And interesting thing about Wayne worried about his "family-friendly" image. I've always thought that Blazing Saddles, along with a lot of other Brooks' 1970s output, was sort of coasting on the new "screen freedom" to lay in a lot of taboo humour, while otherwise remaining firmly rooted in a...
  12. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    Was Wayne's Playboy interview a source of controversy in the 1970s? Because if so, statements like "I believe in white supremacy" are going to have some impact, one way or the other, on the way an ostensibly anti-racist movie is received. Either it's gonna be seen as hypocritical for the...
  13. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Why would they re-invent the wheel? Safeguard is under development and in planning for deployment with Sprint and Spartan finishing up testing . If they're going for an ABM system, they would quite quickly go back to the beefier Sentinel with the same missiles and massively expand it.
  14. Malê Rising

    Authors are, as ever, free to put their work into whatever format they like; however, I would really love to have a PDF or EPUB version of the story so I can take it with me on long flights, for example. It would lose some of the delightful Q/A back-and-forth of the forum thread, but it would...

    Paris? Not a chance.

  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I have finally managed to track down a copy of the paper Groundwater as a military resource: development of Royal Engineers Boring Sections and British military hydrogeology in World War II. In the Middle East in 1940 there was only one boring section, which was ill equiped and lacked its full...

    Wi: Genghis Khan Gay or Infertile?

    If we are talking about what the absence of the man’s genetic legacy might mean for humanity, this article is probably a good primer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_from_Genghis_Khan
  19. WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    Massive Protestant exodus means kissing goodbye to the whole Regenten class and numerous skilled craftmen, who IOTL brought about the Dutch Golden Age. Such a massive loss of human capital would have been far more impactful than any financial losses. The economic, political and religious...
  20. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    Would the British mess with French commercial shipping along the coast of South France/Northern Italy?
