  1. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    They certainly could keep them in use. In practice, missiles are better if you can afford coastal artillery in the first place, but you could easily have a situation in which coastal artillery is retained past its "sell-by" date because of inertia, bureaucratic infighting (eg, if the Army...
  2. No 1953 Iranian coup

    What if the 1953 Iranian coup never happened? How would Iran be different today? Would relations between Iran and the US be better?
  3. If America Never joined is victory for the allies still possible?

    Japan attacking the European colonies in South East Asia but not the US is almost ASB. The Philippines lie squarely on the sea routes to the Southern Resource Area and the US could cut them at any time. It's likely that even with such a POD the US will provide cover for convoys to Oceania and...
  4. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    Terrible, the way the Prophet's Wikipedia page is altered to remove his sacred role in history. Probably Beutalist propaganda.
  5. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    What exactly is the Roddenberry box?
  6. An 1-engine fast bomber for 1935-45?

    The H-1? Very fast, but a fighter sized aircraft - don’t see the potential there
  7. geopolitical impact of an Iranian victory in the Iran-Iraq war

    Enormous; Iran would become the Big Dog of the Moslem Middle East. Kuwait would be terrified; also Saudi Arabia. They would have to make formal defense arrangements with a real military power, probably the US. If the US balks, then maybe Pakistan, with the Arabs paying all the bills and then...

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Connecticut (and New England as a whole) never had a ruling along the lines of Reynolds v. Sims I'm guessing.
  10. WI Claudius invades and conquers Germania instead of Briton

    What about the Germanic tribes living in these newly conquered territories? We would be butterfllying away a lot of key tribes that would form some of the most important nations in Europe

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Hey! Thanks I appreciate the compliment, I hope it's half as much fun reading it as writing it. Now to address your points. 1) Taiwan is neutral because President Perot is making a kind of grand bargain with China, trying to keep them out of the Soviet Sphere. The current Chinese leadership...
  12. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    I am thinking a true Agentinian victory is "A Bridge to Far" for realism. In the end the numbers dont hadd up: In short, the best the Argentinians could hope for is a draw: South Georgia: Argentinians prepare a very nasty surprise on South Georgia in the form of a reinforced airborne...
  13. Abbasid caliph Al-Mutawakkil isn't murdered?

    Al-Mutawakkil was the Abbasid caliph until his assassination at the hands of his Turkish bodyguards in 861 A.D.. Said assassination led to the period of turmoil and coups known as the Anarchy at Samarra, which was directly responsible for the rise of the Saffarid dynasty in Persia and the...
  14. WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    It is one thing to flee to another province and another one is to flee to a different country. Besides, you are seemingly missing my point: with the forces and resources he had Alba could not realistically conquer and held all Dutch provinces so the fast Spanish victory could be achieved by...

  16. Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    It's certainly not a constant stream, and they'll be dispersed over Bactria so in the long run they won't have much of an impact. It's simply a convenient way of getting rid off some rebelious Samnites by settling them very far away from their homeland.

  18. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    Cambodia, IMO, would have suffered even more than it already did were the Khmer Rouge to go down this route. And that's saying something.
  19. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    Is Spain gonna invade Brazil? This is a golden opportunity for them, and Spain, while evil, is still better than Brazil.

    Threadmarks: Chapter Four: A Tragic Comedy

    Just Another Recce Part II: As the ruckus calmed down, the soldiers who were marched up to the observation post, as well as though who were seemly lucky enough to get a ride in the Ratel APC were allowed to rest first. Some of them had blood on the clothes, they had dark circles under their...
