  1. Hot Moon

    Just finished the AH novel 'Hot Moon'. Very interesting novel. The POD is in 1966 when Sergei Korolev survives his heart attack. This causes the USSR to push ahead with their moon program and they beat the USA to the moon by a few months. As a result, Nixon apparently double downs on the space...

In addition, since...

  5. Yesterday-A movie

    In case nobody else heard about it, there is a movie coming out in late June here in the USA. It has an AH premise. Apparently somehow a guy wakes up in a world which has never heard of the band called the Beatles, but he remembers them. Therefore he decides to introduce their music to the...

  9. DBWI: What if Custer didn't bring the gatling guns?

    WI Custer didn't bring the gatling guns to the Little Big Horn? Would he still have lost to the Indians? If so, how badly? Who do you think would have won the election in 1876 if he didn't run?

  11. WI smallpox got out?

    The last known cases of smallpox occurred in 1978. As far as anyone knows the only place that the smallpox virus exists is in labs in the US and Russia. If it got out through an accident or on purpose by some terrorist organization what would be the death toll worldwide?
  12. HOI IV delay

    Paradox just announced that HOI IV has been delayed until late Q2 2015. My guess is that they ran into some snags with the engine for it.
  13. 9/11 occurs 30 yrs earlier

    WI instead of AQ heading up the 9/11 attack in 2001 it had occurred 30 years earlier and been organized by the PLO or some splinter group? Or alternately, it had been run by the NVA to strike back at the US for attacking North Vietnam? Obviously they are not going to hit the WTC, but NYC is...

  18. Term limits amendment

    I realize that the POD would most likely be before 1800, but it mostly concerns the 20th century so I put it here. WI the US founding fathers had gotten a term limits amendment passed which limits the POTUS to 2 or 3 terms only? What impact would this have on the depression and/or WWII?
  19. Out of the Dark

    Has anyone read the book Out of the Dark by David Weber? It could be considered AH because although most of the book takes place in 2012 the POTUS is a woman. It reminds me quite a bit of the Worldwar series by Turtledove, but with an element of fantasy. Spoiler alert: Apparently there is an...
