  1. WI: Henri de Guise survives

    Very interesting. Would not abolishing Salic Law make the closest female relative of Henry III candidate #1? After all, there would not be a formal reason to disqualify Margaret: her husband was a Huguenot but she was a Catholic, French and daughter of a king so there would be no need to go...
  2. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    But what exactly are those differences then? If we name them at least we have something to work with, plus horseback riding and chariots aren't a small thing.

    Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    Castile would be the more powerful portion but I think you're right about lisbon...castile suffers from difficulties regarding sea access.
  4. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    I wonder how many months in the last 25 years there has in fact not been a Royal Navy warship East of Suez? Quitting that mission seems to be like an alcoholic giving up drinking.
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    Damn autocorrect. Amend it, I will
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Oh, imagining earlier versions of their Mickey Mouse Clubhouse songs during the Flood/Apollo 18 era, those would be something else! Yeah, it would be surprising if he wouldn't have been! Perhaps the regular Istanbul music video (the one that wasn't Tiny Toon-based) will see wider recognition...
  7. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    I'm not sure why this falls under alternative history. Coastal artillery was in service before 1980 (and past that date) in a lot of countries.
  8. In Sheets of Blood - A Late Antiquity TL

    The first few chapters will be mostly the same (except for a few changes here and there) but the long term plans of the TL have changed quite majorly.
  9. The Union takes Smith Island: whither Wilmington?

    Let's say the Zeke's Battery had only two guns due to scarcity and not size. How would the Union putting more guns in the battery after they take it impact a blockade of the New Inlet?
  10. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    We were talking about Maykop... Sure but this CHG ancestry came over dozens of centuries of contact, I hardly see how this ancestry was necessary to the formation of Yamnaya, technological diffusion happened without intermarriage. If you don't give any specific figures it could be a very small...
  11. AHC/WI: The US retains a full exclave in Cuba?

    I thought of that as well. Perhaps they could arrange that the entire Guantanamo province is under the US government, while the rest of Cuba west of it is sovereign. What kind of effects might this have throughout the 20th century, like when Cuba goes communist? Also, do you think Guantanamo...

    Oh okay, also what part of Albania?

    Threadmarks: II: Bonifacius, Aetius and Rimini

    Bonifacius Bonifacius’ career began as a general of Constantius III under whom he made a name for himself by defeating the Visigoths of Athaulf at Massilia, allegedly wounding the Gothic king himself. The general would continue to advance in his career becoming a tribunus commanding a Gothic...
  14. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    I think this is far too late but I'll watch where it goes.
  15. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    It doesn't make sense. Hitler's main goal was in the east. He didn't really want to fight Britain, a two front war was never in Germany's favour.

    WI: Illumination Entertainment was an independent company

    What would the animation industry look like if Illumination Entertainment were an independent company, and not just a sub-studio of Universal Pictures?
  17. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    Well given the numbers come from the NAO, you're alleging some fairly serious crimes if they're not right...
  18. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    I saw those numbers and I laughed. as did pretty much everyone else.
  19. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    There's some truth to this, in that in general the USSR payed less attention to safety features and crew survivability than the West did, but there's several important caveats: 1. Less does not mean no. Their soldier's survivability was still important, just less relatively important than the...

    Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    At the time, Lisbon was the most important city in the peninsula, so probably from there.
