  1. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    How will Russia and Ukraine be affected by all that's happening in Anatolia? Since Russia isn't the only Orthodox nation left, how would that affect their mentality assuming they still rise up as a single nation? PS: what was the extent of the Polynesian-Incan exchange?
  2. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    A vapidly nationalistic chest-beating post. In reality, a lot of those tanks were quite capable in their hey days and generally the equal, if not superior, to their Western counterparts.
  3. WI: The Portuguese Fight on at Goa

    Selling it to US as a naval base by Portuguese?
  4. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    The other long term effects include what to do with Karafuto, southern Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. First off without fighting Japan then Russia might not get these territories back. Southern Karafuto gives Japan a land border with Russia and control of some or all of the Kurils turns the...
  5. AHC/WI: The US retains a full exclave in Cuba?

    So I've looked more into the Guantanamo Naval Base, which is an American naval base that's remained in Cuba since the early 1900s and has been as such after the nation went communist (an awkward situation to say the least). While we've all heard of Guantanamo Bay thanks to the War on Terror and...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    What about Syndicalism or a similar ideology? Could a Syndicalism-esque movement be the main force of revolutionary leftism?
  7. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    You mean AShM for coastal defense ? can Harpoon reliably hit specific warships in port if they are moored along side other vessels ? Seems like coastal AshM wasn’t very widespread even amongst nations that could clearly afford them like India KSA Egypt etc maybe as aircraft armed with AshM and...

    WI: The Portuguese Fight on at Goa

    The whole war doesn’t seem to make much sense from the Portuguese perspective. Why fight in such a lackluster way for an unimportant dependency when you could just cede it to India and use the few military resources there elsewhere? Granted, Portugal could have done this with Africa early on in...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    But what's your point? So the only difference between communist-ruled [insert here] and socialist-ruled [insert here] is that the latter intends to stay socialist and the former intends to move on after a while? Either way, the communist-ruled socialist country's alleged attempt to get to true...

  11. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    The Chinese umbrella term for Mongolia until the 12th century appeared was Shiwei. We had a Khitan dynasty and empire here in this TL. So, may be it'd be still Shiwei or it'd be Khitania? I agree that Qocho would be interesting to see in terms of development. Manicheanism appears to have been...
  12. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    Quite likely considering this is before the Marianas, Iwo Jima, and Leyte Gulf.
  13. WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    Yeah, I didn't really think about it, but D-Day is too late a POD. Maybe the USSR being more prepared for Barbarossa? Alternatively, Barbarossa happens in '43 and the reorganized Red Army stops it dead in it's tracks? Either way I think you need the US to join later so as to not liberate any of...

    Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Alexander the Great ITTL left behind a fantastic story and legacy, one that could've happened to OTL Alexander but were dashed by the fickle circumstances of the universe. Luckily we got to see that in this timeline, but who knows how Philip III is going to fare managing the largest empire on...

    Threadmarks: 1934 General Elections

    The 1934 Nepalese General Election took place in the early months of 1934. The elections were contested by the NSDP, NDP and newly formed BPP which became the third political party in Nepal to cross the needed 5% threshold in provincial elections to qualify for the general election ballot paper...
  16. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    Harpoon couldn't do land attack, never has. Regarding the topic, coastal artillery had its place in the Cold War, but that place was generally as leftovers from WWII and before that were cheap enough to keep in operation there wasn't really any point to ditching it. This applies to only a...
  17. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    They made lots of suicide tanks but that's because they were technologically inferior:
  18. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    Suicide-dedicated equipment are generally developed by an opponent that is so far beyond in military resources and/or technology that it has no other means to compensate. And whatever the gap between the Communist and Capitalist powers, it was never that bad.
  19. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    Same things most came from at the foundation of the state, they were the stuff the UK left behind. My Godfather when he was in the FCA (though it was the reserves then) used train on the 6" guns in Cork Harbour, from memory the 9.2" were gone by then.

    Threadmarks: 13th Hour - There Will Come Soft Rains

    2026 Augusts 26th - There is sunshine over the city of Philadelphia for the first time since the war began. It would not end for another two months. Every so often, someone pokes their head from the rubble, suited up, listening for survivors. This was to be the last war, and all Philadelphians...
