  1. Cupola Dreams: The Armored Fighting Vehicles of Hestia

    So, the basic of this thread is more or less a simple one. It's going to be one part collaborative worldbuilding, establishing nations, governments and militaries on a counter-earth (named Hestia,) and then creating Armored Fighting Vehicles to live in this world, starting from the dawn of...

  2. WI: the US Navy adopts better Autocannons than the 1.1"/75 in the 30's?

    Yeah, what it says on the tin. The Navy already has a decent pair of long-range Anti-Aircraft guns in the 5"/38 and 3"/50, but at shorter ranges. Unfortunately, the 1.1"/75 was well, unreliable, and utterly incapable of doing it's job properly given it's size, and likely contributed to a large...

  3. AHC: Keep Convair in the Aerospace Design Buisness.

    As it says, with a POD after 1945, (but before 1965,) keep Convair, as an independent company or a distinct division of a larger firm, in the Business of building it's own designs, and maybe some licensed ones. Instead of becoming a pure subcontractor, as happened IOTL. Bonus points if you...

  4. Columbian Exchange Expansion - WI: New Diseases and Parasites to Europe.

    So, yeah, What would the effects of a few Parasitic diseases (which the new World is lousy with) making their way over to Europe be? I'm talking of things like Chagas, Human Botflies, and River Blindness each making their way to europe, and finding environments and hosts. Really, while I...

  5. WI: No 2007 Boston Bomb scare?

    So, In a short rundown, as most of you know, in 2007 the stoned idiots at Williams Street (a Studio in Atlanta producing material for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Block) have the Aquateen Hunger Force movie coming out, and come up with a stupid plan to advertise it. "Let's put PCB/LED signs...

  6. Fragment by Warren Fahy, also, a Poll.

    So, yeah, although Fragment is really more Speculative Biology then pure AH, I'm still putting it up here, since it's IMO a good book, (definitely worth the dollar I paid for it at a second hand shop,) and a half-way decent concept for shoe-horning some sort of lost world adventure into the...

  7. Did the concept of dedicated Tank Destroyers make sense after WW2?

    It's just a question that's been gnawing at me for a few days: Did it really make that much sense? Not like just Casement type TDs, like the SU-100 and the Jagdpanzer series, but also vehicles like the M36 Jackson, and 17pdr SP Achilles, (which were basically Medium Tanks with the Armor of a...

  8. AHC/PC: At least one Regional Party in US House and Senate by 2010

    So, with a POD from 1800 onward, have at least one Regional Party in the United States with at least 3 Seats in the House and one in the Senate. The Party cannot be a Protest or Splinter Party, but instead has to be a party rooted in the Region and with a Multicycle presence in Congress, in at...

  9. AH Challenge: Joint Ameican-Ottoman Opperations in WW1

    Just what it says on the Tin. Make the US and Ottoman Empire both members of the Central Powers and then engage in Joint operations in WW1. What do you think this will mean post war?

  10. Sticking With A Sure Thing: a Late 90's One Ford philosohpy?

    It's been bugging me. Back in the 1980's and 90's the Ford Taurus was regularly the best selling car in North America, and easily the best car in it's segment, The Same with the Ranger Pickup and Many of Ford's other products. Then Ford goes and chases The Massive profits from the Large and...

  13. WI:TITANIS WALLERI DIDN'T GO EXTINCT?

    So yeah; WI Titanis Walleri did not go extinct 15 thousand years ago but lived late enough to encounter Europeans? What might they make of a Giant Predatory Bird that can Run At 40mph (65km/h)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanis http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fossilhall/Library/Titanis/Titanis.htm...

  14. WI: USMC Keeps "Small Wars" focus

    So, what if the United States Marine Corps keeps an institutional focus on Bananna Wars and Rapid Response overseas After World War 2. How might this affect Korea And Vietnam? If they aren't butterflied away. Afghanistan and Iraq are butterflied away anyway. The Possible "Marine Bible"...
