    Alternate warships of nations

    % of hit probability is far too low. Need a guided weapon to act as a torpedo killer. It did happen. Japanese planes saved Japanese aircraft carriers on occasion by diving onto an American torpedo. This procedure is not recommended. The Americans employed a different Presidential Unit Citation...
  2. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    Why exactly do you think this is the case? What did the Yamnaya get from those cultures?
  3. The US adopts the FN Model D in 1937 after a more successful Axis intervention in the SCW

    FDR decides the US needs a real LMG to replace the BAR after seeing Hitler and Mussolini as a growing threat after their help in the Spanish Civil War is more successful than OTL and wraps it up in 1937. The BAR is clearly obsolete by 1937 and he is able to horse trade an agreement with Congress...
  4. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, what will they replace the show with midseason?
  5. The 1917-1918 "Spanish"Flu pandemic ends WWI without a bonafide armistice or treaty.

    The treaty I had in mind as not happening was Versailles and the other post WWI treaties not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk. In fact it might have been one of the last things that went as per OTL before the flu started getting out of control.... EDIT but yes how enforcable...

    IJN Soryu's and USS Wasp's Durability and Usefulness

    The IJNAS relied on cruiser based float plane recon as well as flying boat recon and LRMPs in blue water. Everyone did. They were not unique. Early war, when their LRMP and cruiser float plane crews were good and American CAPs were lousy, the blue water formula worked well. Like everyone else...
  7. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Will we see what the social media networks of this world look like? I'm really interested to see more of how this timeline's internet turned out.
  8. If the USSR was defeated how would the Pacific War play out?

    If we assume the SU collapses in 1942, then as someone already mentioned it's already close enough in 1941. IMO that means the germans must have better logistics to accomplish that. With that in mind, Leningrad falls on the march, before the red army has time to organize defense. A double...

    French Demographics without a Violent French Revolution?

    Perhaps a number of these excess Frenchmen immigrate to Latin America and especially the United States, such that a distinct French American community on par with Irish Americans, Italian Americans and such can be spoken of.

    Explain the AH Quote

    Section of the first draft of a 5th-grade History class essay titled Angevin Europe: the Cavalier Age, written by future animal rights lawyer and Ecolibertarian Party President of the United States of Fusang, Kenneth Pinyan. As you can see he was but a wee lad back then, but I'm sure you can...
  11. WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    Eugene was not involved with the OTL Italian Republic, and I doubt he will be here. I agree that for practical reasons, some of the satellite states could be/remain monarchies at first, but I don't know that the Confederation of the Rhine would/could form without a monarch. Perhaps Napoleon...

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

    I don't think Disney is going to ruin the Transformers brand as long as Henson remains the primary creative force behind Disney. Marvel already laid the groundwork for them in its previous iteration and he might as well use them to reinvigorate the franchise once more. But who would bring the...
  13. French Demographics without a Violent French Revolution?

    The demographic change happened right around the revolution and it depends on how you do the math whether it happened slightly before or slightly after. I think it must have been the Revolution and twenty years of war that changed birth patterns and fertility rates. It would have had the same...

    Was WW2 still inevitable without the Nazis?

    a. It gave the Germans one more log on the distrust fires. Not just Stalin involved, it was Russians in general. b. Stupidity seems to not be unique to any time or culture. Xerxes "plan" against Alexander, Joffre's plan against Alsace Lorraine. Washington's plan before Monmouth, that British...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    Sorry, just wanted to put it all in one package.
  16. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    As Robespierre discovered, there is a point at which fear turns into hatred. I feel Stalin has either reached or passed that point. There should be a prevailing feeling that they either have to remove him or eventually be purged.
  17. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Yes it is he. Victoria Valentino, an OTL Cosby victim, is the Playboy model referenced by Diller in his statement.

    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Daniel Abbott, slayer of creepy neckbeards and sexual predators has struck again! Thank goodness. Still, I don't know how NBC is gonna survive if they're down for the count and are facing a crisis such as this. Might spell the end of the network with such an abrupt implosion of their reputation...

    The New World of the White Huns
    Threadmarks: Worms worms worms

    The Glassmakers of Konstantikert and the Dying Worms of the East Historians have often spoken of the “long aftermath” of the Votive Wars - an era of political and social retrenchment, of a Xasar Empire that was focused on historical and present slights and a vicious fight against historical...
