    AHC: Jewish POTUS Before 2015

    Arlen Spector (great idea) gets elected ‘76 instead of Heinz, becomes Reagan’s VP 1980, wins ‘88–or becomes President when Reagan dies from the assassination attempt of OTL.

    Explain the AH Quote

    Arc words of Season 1 of J. Straczynski's hit '00s television series The Midnight Zone. Running for 13 seasons, the show ran on the premise that the multiple-worlds theory was true and that this world is in fact one of many worlds being fought over in an endless crosstime, paratime cold war...
  3. Much more aggressive UN peacekeeping missions

    Any hope of a joint US Soviet peace keeping force ?
  4. Nixon wins in 1960, does Khrushchev stay in power?

    Excellent point. Often, what was most important at the time, may not be the big texture items we remember later. Would you feel you’re knowledgeable enough about this time period to make you’re best judgement call about a pie graph of sorts — for example, that factor A was 35% responsible for...
  5. Much more aggressive UN peacekeeping missions

    You'd need it long before that. the 90's was when it got noticed, but the fuckups were happening long before that, and honestly I can't see how they could be fixed.

    AHC: Jewish POTUS Before 2015

    Arlen Specter wins the 1996 Republican primaries, then goes on to defeat incumbent Bill Clinton in the general election.

    DuMont will make TV work: A TL

    Which makes use the MSB name for a television channel instead of a radio station even better, plus it similar to OTL's MSNBC and CNN.
  8. Cinco de Mayo
    Threadmarks: The Grand Consensus: The Longstreet Machine, Reconciliation and the Dawn of the 20th Century in Dixie

    "...the chaos that engulfed the convention in Nashville came close to fisticuffs on the floor of the Pantheon Auditorium as Fitzhugh Lee's angry delegates shouted down those of Roger Mills. The Texans even suggested duels in the mud outside, a proposition wisely refused by those there. Lee being...

    Aside from Axis or Confederate victory, what is the most common AH scenario?

    There's this short story by A.M. Dellamonica called "A Key to the Illuminated Heretic." Baen offers a free preview of it in Alternate Generals III https://www.baen.com/Chapters/0743498976/0743498976___1.htm

    The Thrilling Adventures of Luke Skywalker

    Here is an interesting Star Wars idea that combines Star Wars as we know it with the feel of old Flash Gordon style sci-fi: On Google Plus, Dan D. asked what my "solar system only" version of Star Wars would be. My initial impulse was to but Star Wars all on one fantastic planet like Mongo or...

    No 9/11. Paul Wellstone wins 2004.

    The US adopts the FN Model D in 1937 after a more successful Axis intervention in the SCW

    Well... It depends on the point of view. Fearless and brave, but lousy soldiers in the technical aspects of the tradecraft. That seems to carry forward from American observations of the Tercio from the Spanish American War.
  13. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Garth of Izar would have made much more sense in one of the reboot films than redoing Khan. As good an actor as Benedict Cumberbatch is, Ricardo Montalban as Khan is irreplaceable. Cumberbatch as a tactical genius who Kirk looked up to while studying at the Academy but has to defeat to would...
  14. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Sadly, Abbott will still have names like Spacey, Weinstein and maybe Murdoch to confront. Since the Cosby situation supposedly left NBC unprepared, Diller's former Paramount ties could lead to Cheers airing on two nights.
  15. Aside from Axis or Confederate victory, what is the most common AH scenario?

    John F Kennedy survives the assassination attempt in 1963. The atomic bombs weren't dropped on Japan so the Americans had to invade the Japanese home islands. Man didn't land on the moon. (Not to be confused with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked.) Hitler was killed or...
  16. DuMont will make TV work: A TL

    In the last update it was mentioned that the MBS branding had been retired. I didn't say exactly when yet but I will cover that in the radio update.
  17. Aside from Axis or Confederate victory, what is the most common AH scenario?

    Different American Revolution More successful Reconstruction
  18. ImperialxWarlord

    Much more aggressive UN peacekeeping missions

    Would probably require a post Cold War POD in the early 90’s before all the fuckups. Maybe make the P5 actually look at peacekeeping seriously and make lots of reforms to peacekeeping (and the UN as a whole).
  19. An 1-engine fast bomber for 1935-45?

    The question we should really be asking is can inspiration strike Geoffrey de Havilland early and somehow convince someone to issue Air Ministry specification P.13/36 instead of P.27/32 (Which produced the Fairey Battle). You really can't produce the OP, especially with 1935 technology, but you...
  20. AHC: Jewish POTUS Before 2015

    Gore wins Florida in 2000. Earlier populist takeover of the GOP results in some populist winning the GOP nom and riding Dem fatigue to the presidency in '04. That leads to the establishment of both parties rallying around Lieberman in '08, who wins the presidency.
