    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Nice update! The concept of the 'Disney-towns' (maybe the name will morph into 'Disneyville' in the popular conception, even if it's never the official name) is a neat one; a bite-sized day trip attraction the virtually any family could visit without needing to plan that great multi-day...

    WI: A major plague hits Gaul right before Roman conquest

    A major boon for tribes wanting to migrate into Gallia and Italia, that's what.
  3. WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    I think England would be the most likely country to develop the sorts of institutions which the Dutch pioneered IOTL, given that England was quite a mercantile nation by this point. It would probably take them at least a few decades longer compared to OTL's Dutch, though.
  4. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Another fascinating update. So glad this TL is carrying on. Well this doesn’t dangle the possibility of something intriguing happening further down the line at all... I’m not sure Brauchitsch is the man to be saying those things, given his OTL track record, but it’s interesting nonetheless.

    WI: US joins the Axis

    1. The PoD is 1848 or 1861. All it takes is one British diplomatic mistake in the Oregon Territory and it is a permanent state of quasi-war for 100 years along the Canadian frontier. 2. One presumes that neither nation wants open war after the quasi-naval war of 1861-1866 that almost ruined...
  6. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Good morning and I hope this reply receives you well! Once again, Star Trek is not about Klingons! I receive so many Klingon stories that I'm drowning in them. However, this story is different and interesting because it discusses a real issue, that of defectors who leave the Communist bloc for...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I suspect that you could start seeing some unique Commonwealth variants of the Valiant (and potentially Victor, but we're early days yet) as local manufacture use what's on hand to meet feedback from their deployed troops. We could get a 'Kangaroo' Valiant APC this way if Montreal finds...
  8. WI: A major plague hits Gaul right before Roman conquest

    What if some kind of plague hit Gaul right before Roman attack? Let's say between 20 and 30% population dies and at the same time Italian Peninsula is affected to a lesser degree. Assume the plague starts in Eastern Gaul and spreads west- and southwards and is the weakest in the south. Northern...

    WI Claudius invades and conquers Germania instead of Briton

    Germania was pretty hard to invade in otl, so this probably ends up becoming a burden on Rome.
  10. 2018 Presidential Election

    Sunday March 14th 2021 Elderton rules out Presidential run & endorses Irving John Elderton, the Governor of Utah who had been flirting with a White House bid has ruled out a presidential run today and in a surprise moved endorsed Illinois Senator Jasper Irving at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa...
  11. WI: US joins the Axis

    Can we have the British still partners with Japan, at least they will have a fighting change then.
  12. Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    Cuba wouldn't be nearly the quagmire that Vietnam was. It doesn't border any major communist nations like Vietnam does, it's an island that can be easily quarantined by the US Navy and Coast Guard (cutting the communist rebels off from any outside supplies), it has a much, much smaller...
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    This was better than I imagined a Broadway Muppet musical could be like. Spot on, dude!

    How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Luftwaffe wasn't that good to cut off sea routes. Dunkirk evac fails from the Heer taking the Channel Ports, not air denial from LW or Sea denial by the KM
  15. WI: US joins the Axis

    Very extensive answer. And I agree that Germany failing to defeat France (was a close thing as the French made many mistakes) or getting bogged on it's early conquest wars would make for a very diferent situation. The French army and navy by itself might keep the US at bay. Wouldn't a form of...
  16. Would SpaceX still exist if NASA replaced the space shuttle with the X-33 and had not spent almost a dozen billion on Constellation?

    The VentureStar design had enough technical issues I don't think it could have succeeded. However, if NASA had funded a second generation large reusable vehicle in the early 00s, I agree with others it's quite likely SpaceX founders and never launches anything beyond Falcon 1--if they even stay...

    WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    What reason does Venice has to to replace the Dutch? Their ambition was in the Mediterranean. Either losing all their lands outside Italy or the Ottomans agreeing to an early Suez Canal were Venice plays a role could be a trigger. There will be a shorter route to India, not paying the Middle men...
  19. Map Thread XX

    1950s Punk (inspired by B-Munro's 1950s Punk Map, but all work is my own) is done! I'm still writing the legend and description, but I thought I'd show the finished map to drum up interest. The idea of a "Decade-Punk" map is to project forward the trends and prognostications of that decade. So...
