  1. Rewriting Alternate Histories

    Aside, there's an older TL based on a similar re-imagining: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/zion-lies-west.148443/

  2. Die Atombomben der Bundesrepublik: An Oral History of Germany's Nuclear Weapons Program

    Interesting concept :D

  3. TL-191: After the End

    I am truly amazed that this thread has lasted so long. I've gone back and seen comments I left almost ten years ago :O A hearty round of applause for DBE :)

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

    From what I can tell, no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_mass_ejection

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

    *makes face* That's.... a bit woolly, but I suppose solar neutrino interactions might somehow qualify under that heading.

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

    Did anyone figure out how the butterfly effect could propagate out as far as the sun ITTL?

    Hi, your Columbus ISOT is very cumbersome to read especially on mobile. Can I suggest shortening the sections?

  8. English language if 1066 never happens

    So I'm curious, what orthographical conventions are you using here? As written sc obviously means /sh/, but you have accent marks and use of "c" and "cc" which are not, to my knowledge, consistent or used at all within Old English. And "ij" means the equivalent of /i:/ (the "ee" in "seen" or...

  9. Twilight of the Valkyries: A 20 July Plot TL (Redux)

    I just finished all the Threadmarks to date. Amazing work! I can't wait to see what comes next :o

  10. Russia Resurgent - A TL

    This isn't really true, and is an artifact of movies like "Enemy at the Gates". The Soviet 'deep battle' doctrine absolutely emphasized logistics as well as an effective Combined Arms infrastructure.

  11. Backburner. :)

  12. In a Nazi victory what areas would be of the most value to the Reich?

    I think Turtledove went with this in "In The Presence of Mine Enemies" as it shows the Reich being dependent on repeatedly plundering the far reaches of the old Soviet Union and North America just to keep things afloat, which Buckliger tries to solve by easing the military burden and cajoling...

  13. In a Nazi victory what areas would be of the most value to the Reich?

    I'm really puzzled now, because the source thread doesn't show any long tables or whatnot. :o

  14. Accountability: The Fall of Bill Clinton

    There is, IIRC, a rule that a VP serving out less than 2 years of his predecessor's term is not limited to only one succeeding term. I tried googling but couldn't find it for sure though. sorry, didn't read far enough - already answered by Curtain Jerker. Anyway, interesting TL! I look forward...

  15. Motherland: Fort Salem

    I felt the worldbuilding in the pilot was lazy in a different direction: What we see is Abigail and Raelle disliking each other but nothing really is shown that would justify it, we're just told this and asked to accept it. Since then they've rejiggered the character dynamics and fleshed things...

  16. Strong Mexico TLs

    I forget the exact name of the TL but it goes something like "Mexico Fuerte" 🧐

  17. The World of Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies

    SInce he became Minister of Heavy Industry, I'm going to assume he would have mustered out after his, say, three-year tour in Occupied USA, and parlayed his experience in cajoling Americans to cough up into a Schindler-like career of managing to rise up while becoming hip-deep in political...

  18. The World of Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies

    The problem is it feels kind of cheap and lazy to just copy Gorbachev's life wholesale over to Buckliger. It would be better to come up with a good in-verse life history that led to him doing what he did. As one example, a major difference between Gorbachev and Buckliger is that Gorbachev was...

  19. The World of Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies

    Interesting thoughts on the ItPoME timeline! As for me, one thing I've had a lot of trouble with is getting into Heinz Buckliger's head. What made him the person he is in the book? What convinced him that the Reich couldn't continue as it had been under Himmler and later, Haldweim? I had the...

  20. Five Years Less - Brezhnev dies in 1977

    I like this TL! The way OTL's events twist and morph into new forms in TTL is a good touch.
