  1. Gideon's Folly: What happens when the USS Monitor never shows up for the Battle of Hampton Roads?

    I completely agree about the Union's ultimate victory but I'm not sure that the civilian rams would have propulsion issues. If anything, the quality of the armor and rams would be the biggest issues IMO. The Galena on the other hand had propulsion issues in OTL. Though that's certainly a...
  2. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    It's hard for local wars to stay "local". What are the odds that South America is the keg of TNT that the Balkans were IOTL? Especially if Chile believes they can use German troops to run a bluff.

    The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Fascinating, a late revival of the Byzantines? Watched!
  4. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    The character is called Amy Chang and I think she's been in all of the episodes so far? She seems to be this season's Andrea Walters (Megan Dodds). I was hoping Andrea would be out Barbara Walters analogy, due to the surname, but that may not happen

    TV invented by the time World War 2 starts, impact on public perception?

    So this wouldn't make TV popular, since the government wouldn't be able to make it more accessible for the common João?
  6. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons
    Threadmarks: Demographics

    Ah yes here is also a post I ended Vol III with, for those who havn't seen it Britannic Empire: England and Wales Formally united in government since the mid 16th century, Wales still remains very much the junior partner. Generally across the two countries literacy is much higher than OTL with...
  7. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    The two halves of Korea and Germany have spent decades as bitter rivals; one unified as soon as possible, and the other is still open to it. In the case of (let's say) North France, South France and Brittany, Germany can try to make them dislike each other, but how? France in general has always...

    What if Henry VII and others died Richmond Palace fire of 1497?

    I suppose, but his Father Henry VII loved to 52, his maternal Grandmother died at 55, his sister Margaret died at 54, Mary I died at 52 etc. 50s seem to be the average life expectancy for the Tudors.
  10. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons
    Threadmarks: Family Trees

    Dramatis Personae 1581 This is a huge list of people and their family trees. This is more a planning document but may be useful. To make the list easier to understand births are listed beneath their fathers and not their mothers. Females married to someone else in the list will have their...

    Key positions in 1581 Emperor Edward I, King of England (Edward VI), Lord of Britannia and Defender of the Faith Imperial Constable: Edward of York, Oudenburg and Picardy, Prince of Anhalt-Kothlen Keeper of the Imperial Seal: Sir Martin Dalston, Lord Shevington Imperial Chief Justice: Hugh Price...
  12. TV invented by the time World War 2 starts, impact on public perception?

    The Germans used to jam BBC broadcasts. They also shot people caught listening. There weren't any sets in Western Europe other than the UK and experimental sets in Germany which used (iirc) a completely different system no compatible with the British one. Plus no one was making consumer...
  13. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    I agree about the need to change the engines. Cropping the wings might not be necessary because AIUI the OTL Hampden was a manoeuvrable aircraft and even had a single forward firing machine gun. Handley Page proposed a Hampden torpedo bomber with a wider fuselage and a dorsal gun turret to meet...
  14. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons
    Threadmarks: Introduction

    It's back! After a (frankly flattering) run at the Turtledoves, here is the 4th, and probably final, part of the Sons in Splendor, taking us from 1581 up to 1628. Thanks all so much for your continued support and encouragement, I am VERY excited about this part, I think it will be the best yet...
  15. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    It is a long shot, I admit but go with it. There were army units who were absolutely loyal to the emperor who could protect him and the coup attempt was hardly the entire IJA. If the coup does not happen very quickly it won't happen. With enough luck it is possible, not remotely likely, but...
  16. TV invented by the time World War 2 starts, impact on public perception?

    Promoting the use would be part of 'co-opting'. A state-owned company for building radios and TVs makes sense, but I don't know whether the government would have the means to do it.
  17. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    Is a surrender at that point ASB? No. But surrender based on only the Emperor's word in a single broadcast? That comes darn close. IMO the only way to get a surrender that early is to get a coup by probably the IJN, who then convince the Emperor to give such a speech. That's STILL unlikely to...
  18. WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    It's possible. I don't think it's at all inevitable, since the KMT OTL was able to reform after losing the mainland and China did experience significant economic growth (albeit growth that was overwhelmingly concentrated in the still-tiny cities) during the Nanjing decade, but you could...
  19. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Well, I think that Filmation could be a good studio to buy in addition to DIC. Maybe even get Rankin-Bass or Harmony Gold on the line. Heck, why not all four of them to really get the blood pumping for the network?
