  1. A New Britain - A British Political TL (1995-)

    So is the plan here just to keep Labour (and the democrats in the US) in power forever?

    Firstly, you notice that upon Tywin’s death everything didn’t fall apart in the Westerlands. No one was rebelling or uprising because there was more than just fear of Tywin himself. We’re talking about the smallfolk here. Tywin’s schemes fell apart, his own dominion did not. We rarely ever get a...

    Alternate warships of nations

    Eh not larger, the Renowns are already pretty long. If modifications to the armour scheme are permitted, I wouldn't increase the armour so much as redistribute it so as to conform to a modern all or nothing armour scheme. So more armour (where it matters) for the same weight, hull-form, and...
  4. The Forge of Weyland

    I agree formalizing things would take time..... But in context of liaison's and commitments of support, Churchill's reply to the invasion of the USSR was almost immediate...and they had stabbed the allies in the back at the beginning of the war. I would think that sometime soon he would be...

    What if Rome discovered America?

    Assume that the Romans have merchant vessels capable of getting to America and back, and that cayenne peppers would go for 4 denarii/lb, per Pliny. How much would it cost to ship a cargo of them from Teotihuacan to Rome, figuring in crew salaries, provisions, amortized cost of ship (including...
  6. Have both the Westland Scout & Wasp helicopters be more successful

    I would be very interested in a recap of that TL. I was under the impression the RAAF used UH-1 Hueys from about 1962, and in relatively small numbers. Obviously the RAAF would be familiar with the Scout from its performance in Borneo.

    Was Nikita Khrushchev was he good for the ussr?

    Under Capitalism, Man exploits Man. Under Socialism, it's the opposite.

    What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    Might be worth asking a squaddie or two what their views would have been. I suspect this might not be what you expected.
  9. What if Rome discovered America?

    It could only really work if the items coming from the Americas are such luxuries that they are worth the risk of losing a significant number of ships on every trip. So, things like spices, gems, gold, and the like. Otherwise, it's just not worth it. And the other way around you also need such...
  10. IJN Soryu's and USS Wasp's Durability and Usefulness

    That is nothing but pure IJN lunacy. Yamato would be crippled and rendered combat ineffective long before she could take out 3 opposing battleships that are all firing on her simultaneously. While they probably wouldn't penetrate her citadel, they don't have to. While Yamato is executing her...
  11. What if Rome discovered America?

    The problem is that they just don't have the navigational and seafaring capabilities to send all these resources back to Europe on any sort of consistent basis. Not to mention they don't really have the surplus population for serious settler colonialism, as evidenced by the brisk slave trade...
  12. WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    Might this scenario involve the US joining WWII later than IOTL? Or, at least, joining the European/North African theatre later?
  13. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    In a way, it's a strong criticism of naming rulers by inheritance. There are so many ways to get someone who just isn't suited for the role and has no way out of it with all the consequences that brings.

    Red Storm Rising ctd Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States and President for the duration of WWIII. Though a somewhat polarising figure with regard to domestic policy, he is remembered in a largely heroic light by the American people with regard to the conflict, being considered...

    Most definitely oh I deed, that lack of spine is going to hurt
  16. WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    I see. How about the French Communists? What was their relationship with Moscow like?
  17. An 1-engine fast bomber for 1935-45?

    I am reminded of the famous words of Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly regarding the F-111B Cost Connolly his career, but saved the fleet from the Sea Aardvark.
  18. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Its good to see another OTL figure in the form of Dr Sally Ride. I wonder if we willl see any others including some of the astronauts from the Challenger and Columbia disasters having different fates and perhaps seeing Christa McAullife or someone like her make it into space. As far as Eds...
  19. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    I feel sorry for him, well at least before remembering who his genial plans are the main cause of his situation. Once or twice he guessed the right thing to do but he was unable to do it
