  1. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

  2. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    My thinking about the North Korean plot from last season, and continuing into this season, is that originally in early writing drafts it was meant to China. Which would make sense from an AH point of view if the US and west haves focused more on co-operation and economic development with the...

  3. AHC: Form alternate/new ethnic groups of the world

    Maroha: Ancestry: Malagasy Austronesians & Khoisan Language: Ma'ro'i Region: Marohaland, South Africa (OTL Natal), and the Cape Republic. Religion: Christianity, and syncritized folk religions Population: 10,380,000 History: Derived from populations of Austronesians displaced from Madagascar...

  4. British Officer Commission System

    I remember watching a video a while back that explained that the purchasing commissions system was originally introduced to ensure quality in the officer corps. It apparently makes a bit more sense if you think of it a bit like the letters of marque. The commission was a sort of state issued...

  5. Would a British North America be more, or less developed than the United States OTL?

    The moral movements against slavery both in The British Isles and in the American Northeast would no doubt still be as strong, and would still seek aggressive action both politically and economically to curtail slavery. After all Britain in OTL still had to contend with the strong pro-slavery...

  6. Skies of Albion - A British Aviation Timeline

    From what I have read there certainly was a great degree of concern about them attacking the bombers at the time, even if perhaps the actual AARs don't support it. So yeah its likely more of a panic over the fear of having to face flying wunderwaffen that are too fast to defend against rather...

  7. Skies of Albion - A British Aviation Timeline
    Threadmarks: 3- Grey Seas and Iron Skies

    -Part 3 – Grey Seas and Iron Skies The cancellation of almost almost all post war piston engined aircraft projects in 1946 left the Royal Navy with a problem. Nearly the entirety of the Fleet Air Arm's inventory of carrier aircraft were either obsolete or had to be returned under the terms of...

  8. Funny you should ask about that, I was thinking if this TL a couple of weeks ago. I actually...

    Funny you should ask about that, I was thinking if this TL a couple of weeks ago. I actually have the next chapter about half finished.

  9. The Federation of Britain
    Threadmarks: Political Map of the Federation of Britain

    The Federation of Britain "When from the azure seas arose these blessed isles, they were fashioned of too pure a fabric to suffer the tyrant's tread." -Sir Henry Cavendish, Second Lord Marshal of the English Commonwealth Formed following the defeat of the short lived Britannic Empire at the...

  10. What do dreadnought and pre dreadnought type ships get called if Dreadnought wasn’t the first?

    I always thought Juggernaut would be a good alternative.

  11. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    ofc

  12. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Honestly if the Galactica jumped into Mars orbit next episode I would kind of have time for it.

  13. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    oh Ronald D Moore. You couldn't resist could you? It seems like two and half seasons of a series is really all he can manage before he goes totally off the rail, writes himself into a hole, and then starts to pull things out of his arse to try and get out again.

  14. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I sincerely love For All Mankind, but I feel like the series is jumping the shark with the continued pile up of disaster on disaster this season. It's becoming increasingly improbable and stretching my suspension of disbelief that they could possibly survive all this. The characterization of...

  15. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I expect a fourth season will feature an absence of characters like Ed and Margo, and might even timeskip significantly to the 2020s. The cast will likely be composed of the next generation like Kelly and Danny, or completely new faces. By that point Lunar colonisation will be well under way...

  16. UK offer to Ireland 1940

    Or more likely the Centaur and Cromwell names are switched, with Cromwell being the name for the Liberty engined version that was superseded by the meteor powered variant that in the TL would be called Centaur.

  17. The Commonwealth of Borealia
    Threadmarks: Flags of Borealia

    Flags of Borealia Official flags of Borealia throughout its history, from colony to commonwealth. The Endeavour Bay Company was formed in the early 1820s with the stated goal of establishing a chartered colony with license to exploit the resources of what was then known as Cookland. A...

  18. Was there any other backward nation that tried to industrialize like Japan or was Japan just a single case?

    IIRC Egypt tried to attempt it in the mid 19th century, and bet big on cotton, and bankrupted itself in the process.

  19. British and American naming of armies during the War of 1812

    From what I can tell British Army names of the period tended to be more broadly geographic than their American counterparts. For example during the Peninsular Campiagn Wellesley's force was first named the 'British army in the Peninsular' and once combined with the Portuguese army, the...

  20. Had the Darien Scheme been successful, would the Act of Union happen?

    The gradual unification of the English and Scottish political classes was already well under way by that point and as long as the union of crowns held full political union was probably likely at some point. Though without the financial stresses of Darien failing it might occur somewhat later.
