  1. WI: Ford had built the Mustang as a wagon?

    Chevrolet came within 1 part of actually selling a hotrod Chevette to compete with the Dodge Omni GLH. The task was to produce a version using components already in the parts system and would meet the reliability standards needed for a production vehicle. It was going to use the new 2.8l V6...

    Threadmarks: The Hoover Administration and the Ruhr Crisis: 1922-1923

    After Armenian intervention in 1921, Hoover's administration was paralyzed in its ability to address foreign policy. With isolationism being supported among most parties, and the American populace at the time, Hoover struggled to pursue an internationalist foreign policy, despite American...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Roger that, I see where you are coming from but the turret isn’t that much taller (5-6 cm) and the Commander is sitting significantly further to the left. I will try and take an internal pic to show the relative positions. I think we are OK, and thanks for the feedback. 👍
  4. Abbasid caliph Al-Mutawakkil isn't murdered?

    Would the Fatimids still show up in the Maghreb? I assume that even if they take Ifriqiya (Tunis and so on) they probably wouldn't capture Egypt ITTL since the Abbasids would be a lot stronger here. Maybe they focus the bulk of their efforts on conquering bits of Italy, using Sicily as a...
  5. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Ton for ton they do, although the overall cost of the Yamato class may be an exception, considering they Japanese also had to build an entirely new set of shipyard slips simply to be able to assemble the monsters. That said Cruisers are not cheap. Using the U.S. as an example thew Brooklyn...
  6. A Lusophone World

    I was waiting for Chile to come around, finally it did. The more Successful the Luso Commonwealth is in contrasting with it's unstable neighbors the more attractive it'll be to smaller powers not aligned with West-Red blocks. Would Mysore survive the DUI surrounding it like that. ~EDIT~...

    WI: Qantas Flight 72 crashes?

    I'm back on this thread since two years i made this I think the crash of Qantas Flight 72 and Northrop Grumman going in lawsuits would have happened in this effect: 1. Airbus could get lawsuits from the relatives of Qantas 72's victims. 2. One year later, Air France Flight 447, another...
  9. AHCC: Chinese horse nomads

    And this platform would be just a necessary pre-condition and does not even start addressing the numerous problems related to implementing the OP. 😜 As you may notice, the OP contains the Mongol cavalry. With the “nomadic Chinese” inhabiting steppe in the big enough numbers there would be no...

  11. Abbasid caliph Al-Mutawakkil isn't murdered?

    Yes plus Caliphate MO was always expansive war to reflow troublemakers and win spoils and territory to expand too. Militaries victories against a member of Dar-al-Gharb always helped the caliph prestige. I think was the prestige as was the place the original Abbasadid revolt but is up the...

    Threadmarks: 'MURICA Update

    Due to Richard Nixon's absurdly big governing mandate, the White House pushed an aggressive agenda for 1972 and 1973. Universal health care had received previously been supported by a significant chunk of congress but had never been passed. Now, with cancer scares and increasing health costs...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Just to be clear, the Pz II doesn't have a gun that recoils on the mount, while the Pz III and Pz IV position the commander at the aft of the turret, behind the gun's range of recoil (like an M103 or Conqueror), so the gun is basically in the commander's lap when it recoils. On the Tiger and...

  17. WI: Ford had built the Mustang as a wagon?

    It wouldn't have been the fastest wagon. There were lots of fast wagons. I bought a 1966 Dodge Coronet SW when it was 17 years old from the original owner as a cheap commuter car. It had the smallest engine available in the model that year a 383. The optional engines were the 383 4bbl and a...

    Eclipse Comics was a comic company. It seemed to mostly produce licensed works. I wonder if Eclipse Comics would make a great buyout target and if so I can name companies that would be interested: Viacom, Westinghouse, Metromedia, NAMCO, General Electric, Turner, Warner, Corman, Time...
