  1. Gideon's Folly: What happens when the USS Monitor never shows up for the Battle of Hampton Roads?

    I haven't been able to find the information I need, so forgive my ignorance, but I seem to remember that Grant's performance at the Wilderness and his Overland campaign was very much reliant on the ability to ship supplies to his army up Virginian rivers. McClellan wouldn't have that same luxury...
  2. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    The probability of there being a negative effect of low-gravity that isn’t present at a more intense degree in free fall is so low as to be nonexistent. That kind of talk would have us conduct endless studies to step outside our front porch, on the grounds that there “might” be a Slenderman out...

    Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    but for them to start in '37, it would have had to been the earlier design. Merlin II was later in May, 1938 And no, would not have been happy about the new production line putting out the garbage that was the Merlin I, that around 200 were made over in the UK ad did see using in service...
  4. What if communism didn’t exist

    ...something similar to Fascism would have emerged anyway (though, if Marxism in general is not there, Mussolini's cultural points of reference would be very different). But it is a lot less likely that *Fascism would have come to power, in Italy or elsewhere, at least in circumstances similar...

    Fawcett comics survives

    I don't know from What I know The only reason DC Greenlit Kamandi was because DC lost the licensing of Planet of the apes to Marvel I would rather see Kamandi go independent if anything
  6. "Revolution Plowed the Sea" What if Latin America was a Great Power?

    This is very interesting! I love a good Mexico-wank but all too often they involve Maximilian taking over or the Empire being successful somehow. Viva la Republica! I'll be looking forward to seeing where you take this

    After social strain in chile, lo barnechea shall be renamed.
  8. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    The key word is "if it sank." Soviet submarines for most of the Cold War were more likely to sink (albeit not that much more likely) than Western ones, but were often designed with an escape capsule for the crew .

    Aren't the Integralists under Salgado already Fascist?

    The Bear and Eagle on the Nineveh Plains -- an alt-Middle East Collaborative Timeline

    Eh. I don't think Communists returning to power in Russia is essential to the TL. Though I did have things go different in Russia already with Yeltsin being removed from power in 1993 & the Supreme Soviet (Russian Parliament) remaining intact. Aleksandr Rutskoy (who from what I understand is OTL...
  12. What if communism didn’t exist

    This is correct, but to be fair, it has to be noted that centralising vaster amounts of power (such as most of economic planning, a lot of control over cultural production, and some seriously impressive surveillance) to the state is, to say the least, a very roundabout way to get to the end-goal...

    WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    Given the defeats both (really all three) suffered before the revolution, I wouldn't be surprised if Britain has the naval supremacy on lock without one of the three, meaning that they can enforce more effectively.
  14. Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    I tend to think a middle-of-the-roader is good for the country. And Kennedy himself was larger a middle-of-the-roader, since he was a conservative Democrat. Although Kennedy raised expectations too much, and maybe Rockefeller avoids this.
  15. AHC: Fletcher Class refitted with RIM-24 Tartar and Mk13 Launcher?

    This is a hypothetical situation. Maybe they refit them for the Argentinans, Chileans or some other South American country.
  16. WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    Is the french and dutch help not enough?
  17. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    Would MLRS do the job as well? A few square KM of anti-armor bomblets would mission kill almost anything in range

    Threadmarks: Part 8

    Part 8: Gathering steam Iquique, Tarapacá March 1886 Alejandro Puig enjoyed his time in the city. He could visit a proper bar and drink a proper beer, instead of the Pisco that was all the people in Almonte seemed to drink, although Mouchot provided the town with a few bottles of wine made...
  19. What if Rome discovered America?

    You can get to North America and back in a Viking longship, which while different technology to what the Romans used isn’t necessarily in a different league of complexity. The biggest issue is that it’s a type of vessel intended for North Atlantic type ocean conditions, or to translate into...
