  1. Alternate warships of nations

    HMS President? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_President_(1800)
  2. An 1-engine fast bomber for 1935-45?

    my understanding the arrangement for the 119 and the ME-261 functioned fairly well, taking into account the complexity of "twinned" engine? if you want the pilots to sit on a crate of dynamite, use the HE-119 as a recon bomber with butterfly bomb? (unclear if they ever grasped how disruptive...
  3. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    There were at least 20 or so US Army divisions in the Pacific Theater during the war. The US Army did a lot of fighting and provided a lot of occupation troops in the Pacific Theater, some of which could have been moved west. Also nearly 4,000 B-29s plus all the other aircraft is nothing to...
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    If that's the case, my money's on WB, because Triad is the formation of a Fox and Paramount merger, and WB owns the Terrytoons, Rankin-Bass, and Nickelodeon libraries ITTL, so it sort of checks out for them.
  5. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Good news that the Whalers are sticking around. One possible wrinkle - the drive to bring a team to Columbus started with the Whalers moving; Peter Karmanos considered Columbus before settling on Raleigh. In fact, there was a ballot issue to fund an arena in downtown Columbus, one that failed...
  6. The Plantagenet Succession

    Also, according to Bergenroth, G A, ed. (1862). "Spain: July 1498, 21-31". Calendar of State Papers, Spain, Volume 1, 1485-1509 pages 167 - 180 "before her marriage to Manuel I of Portugal, her parents entertained the idea of marrying her to King James IV of Scotland. This was at the time when...
  7. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I'm rather impressed. Huh. Not bad for a sudden replacement that was originally on syndication. I don't know much about Star Trek, but I do know a moneymaking opportunity when I see one.
  8. The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    What happened to the Vlachs? Also, is Bulgarian power centered in Transylvania or Transcarpathia? Is Bulgarian territory threatened by polities from whichever side is beyond the Carpathians from the center of power? Also, what is that white space in the Danube delta? Is it supposed to be Roman...

    Alternate warships of nations

    If there's a USS Yorktown, there certainly could be an HMS Chesapeake :biggrin: ;)
  10. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    If the surrender happens in July with the same arrangements as in 15 of August 1945 the US could send airplanes and men(US pacific fleet is not needed in Europe as the fighting takes place on land) around the time Paris was captured. It takes time to move stuff around and the B-29s would not...
  11. DBWI: 2004-05 NHL season lost

    Along with a Pittsburgh team, Milwaukee, Portland and Hartford are also speculated to gain teams with Houston and Halifax also in the mix.

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

    It's more likely that Disney will get the theme park rights, since they can dictate the popularity of the IP through a new show/movie in the 90s or 00s. Universal or Warner might buy the rights earlier but that wouldn't make much sense considering its declining popularity. Universal will...
  13. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Since when did she ever stop? Maybe Freddy will have Tatiana as his royal assassin.
  14. RedKing

    The Plantagenet Succession

    Oh I see, still a tad bit of a stretch but I guess Isabella would want most her daughters to be Queens.
  15. DBWI: 2004-05 NHL season lost

    IC: Yeah, that was pretty much what happened. Set off a flurry of moves out of dumpster fire markets - I still think the only reason the Hurricanes survived was that miracle season the next year. After Quebec City got the 32nd team for next year (and you should see that kickass logo they...
  16. WI: market friendly Stalin?

    The best window of oppurtunity to get Stalin seriously interested in market friendly socialism might be the time he spent with the polish market socialism economist Oscar Lange: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_R._Lange
  17. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story
    Threadmarks: 1996 NHL Offseason

    The Hockey world couldn't rest for a minute as the NHL would have a rival league competing during the 1996-97 season. Despite this, the NHL would move forward toward their offseason with Tampa Bay picking a name and two teams announced new arenas that will open in 1998. First was the Hartford...
  18. The Plantagenet Succession

    Naples plays a part later - so I needed that free for... other things...
  19. An 1-engine fast bomber for 1935-45?

    How about the Mixmaster designed around a single R-2800, either with a turbo onboard or the 2-stage version? Somewhat smaller than the OTL XB-42 (400-ish sq ft wing instead of 555), probably stick with counter-rotating prop so the tail clearance is kept in check.
  20. AHC: Shortest possible Dutch Revolt?

    Not realy. It was just that the Netherlands was fighting a war against a (or even the) great power of its age. In reality it was a miracle they actualy managed to win. You have to realise that most revolts fail. And in the first couple of years the Dutch were failing. Hard. Spain was just so...
