  1. Churchill Dies Suddenly after the UK is Already Committed to Fighting On.

    Thing is though, did any of that make a real meaningful difference? The US was already starting to help the UK while Chamberlain was PM. Things like the Two-Ocean Navy act had nothing to do with Churchill but showed that the US as a whole had joined FDR in seeing Germany as a threat. From that...

    Pop Culture In Star Wars

    The planet Finn and Rose landed in Star Wars: The Last Jedi complete with casinos and racing track reminded me of Monaco.

    I have so many questions now.

    You could have a white raven on a black background, to represent Jon's service with the Night's Watch and his status as the "outsider," not fully belonging among the Starks or the Watch.
  6. WI: Ford had built the Mustang as a wagon?

    I've never seen it used over here, so I'd take that as given. That's been my view for longer than that.:) (Despite at least one article in {IIRC} Hot Rod suggesting wagons were cool. {BTW, I'm one of the handful of crazies who thinks rodding an '80 or so Chevette actually makes sense.:eek:;)...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I am just imagining him outside the delivery room with fingers crossed, while also hoping the child is ok (especially if it is a son).

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Exactly. Or he gets her pregnant and hopes she dies in childbirth...
  9. The Winkel-Tripel BAM project

    You should cut off all of the unnecessary black around th3 edges. Minor suggestion aside, I don't see this as particularly useful. We'vealready got the psuedo-Robinson maps (WorldA, Quarter-Bam, QBam, MBam), the XK-Bams (2K, 5K, 8K), and the EqualX maps; that's enough for me, and probably for...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Hmm I suppose, he'd have to come up with quite the elaborate plot to make him look innocent. Better he just waits a few years then!

    Francis and Henry would though, so you'd immediately have another war on your hands...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Quite. The only exception to that might be childbed fever, or pre-eclampsia, but he'd have to get her pregnant for either of those to be possibilities!

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    It depends, I mean not everyone would think he's behind it if he is a good enough of an actor.
  14. The US adopts the FN Model D in 1937 after a more successful Axis intervention in the SCW

    I think a better light machine gun would have been very useful to the US army. The FN D is certainly a good candidate, the main problem being if you are going to alt-hist that in, then how do you fight the temptation to go the whole hog and make it belt-fed? Then you have basically a rough and...
  15. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Does the US rely on cults of personality to maintain authoritarian rule? Who is revered? Hamilton perhaps?

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Yes, I was very careful to describe the principals' clothing. @vandevere had requested it specially. I don't think Marguerite will be lucky enough to have a faithful husband, but they both know their duty. Charles will have to sleep with her at least occasionally... Mind, I'm not sure...
  17. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    He just lost a war. Marguerite dying anytime soon is just asking for trouble since everyone will be thinkings he is behind it
  18. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    My belief that Britain was destined to win certainly comes from hindsight. I know things that Thatcher and Co couldn't have known in April 1982; like HMS Illustrious would commission at sea 6 days after the surrender and would have 2 AEW Helicopters on board, or that Sea Harriers would have the...
  19. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    From Mesopotamia through the Caucasus the wheel. From one of the two, basic metalworking. And if we zoom back and assume the "Border" existed already 2 millennia before the Yamnaya Explosion, then they wouldn't even have learned the lifestyle of herding grazing animals.
