  1. No Man's World - Pat Kelleher (WW1 ISOT Story)

    A battalion of WW1 Tommies are teleported to an alien planet by rather occult means :eek: http://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Mans-World-Black-Hand/dp/1906735352 I've just picked up the second book ('The Ironclad Prophecy'), and haven't read too far into it yet, so can't really tell what it's like -...

  2. Future War 198X - Anime Third World War

    Hm - I'm trying to find some more info on this; apparently an anime adaptation of Hackett's Third World War by Toei, although information is sparse. TVTropes has a page on it. Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjOr0cdQMn0&feature=related Tank Battle...

  3. 'Best' WW2 for Norway?

    Assuming that the war is an inevitability, and due to the country's strategic location, that it will somehow involve Norway, what is the best course the war could take in Norway's eyes? Starting in 1939 upon the outbreak of the way, assuming you have an educated guess of the course the war...

  4. Successful Darien Project

    Inspired by this; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-11040353 Consider the possibilities of the Darien scheme enjoying success. Could it really have served as an essential trading post between the Atlantic and Pacific, as intended? Perhaps some sort of a precursor to...

  5. Storming Paradise - WW2 Invasion of Japan AH Graphic Novel

    By Chuck Dixon and friends. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Storming-Paradise-Chuck-Dixon/dp/184856662X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278069075&sr=8-1 I chanced across this in the library yesterday. It's grim and gritty and pulls no punches. The highlights: *PoD appears to be that it takes less...

  6. No Man's World - Pat Kelleher (WW1 ISOT)

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Mans-World-Black-Hand/dp/1906735352 Has anyone read this, perchance? Saw this advertised in 2000AD. The premise is of 900 British WW1 soldiers ISOTed to an alien planet, which as far as ISOTs go, is one of my favourite kinds (maybe I should get back onto my own...

  7. WI: Dogs Considered Unclean by Christianity

    Bit of an off-the-wall one here. At the founding of Christianity, Dogs are enshrined as an unclean animal. It's not unreasonable - they eat their own faeces, they lick their balls, they prey on the weak, and they eat carrion. Their benefits are overlooked, and they go down in history as...

  8. Starship Troopers Anime OAV-Type Thing

    I'd not seen this in entirety. Now thanks to the magic of youtubular bells, I can :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzwGgb8CFM8 Seems quite good so far. Anyone else? :)

  9. 'Manifest Destiny' Peters Out

    Manifest destiny, the overriding feeling that an American North America was not only a right, but inevitable, was the rallying cry of American expansion across the continent. But how inevitable was it? Please 1) engender a scenario where manifest destiny peters out somewhere between the...

  10. Fanboys - a film

    Has anyone seen this? It seems apt for here, but I've not seen it mentioned. The premise is that a bunch of Star Wars geeks are eagerly awaiting Star Wars Episode One. What happier, more innocent times, eh? :o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBkA3R2Habo According to the mate who recommended...

  11. Grandville, by Bryan Talbot

    Steampunk French-controlled Britain... with animals. Brought to my attention by the ever-useful Judge Dredd: The Megazine, this graphic novel comes from the same stable as Luther Arkwright, and Heart of Empire - both of which I've yet to read, but sound immensely appealing. Grandville deals...

  12. Dune - by Jodorowsky, Giger and Dali

    http://www.drawingroom.org.uk/alejandrojodorowskysdune.htm Apparently just as much phallic imagery as you'd expect from Giger. But I can only imagine what sort of Emperor Dali would make :D Exhibition on the film that wasn't. Ends in London on the 25th of October, but moves to Plymouth early...

  13. Dead Snow - Norwegian Nazi Zombies Film

    Ein. Zwei. DIE! The title says it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-KQh87_V2Q http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Snow Three of the best things in the world - Snow, Zombies, and Norwegians. Sadly also Nazis. I would quite like to see this film. Have any of our Scandinavian members...

  14. Heaven's Soldiers: A Korean Island in the Sea of Guns of the North/South. Or not...

    Has anyone seen this film? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven's_Soldiers Starting off, the film seems startlingly optimistic on the state of North/South Korean affairs, granted, something not exactly new to anyone who watches a lot of Korean films, many of which like to think that...

  15. Star Trek Film!

    I have just seen the Star Trek film. Though not really a Star Trek fan, there's a grin across my face almost a mile wide - and I don't have an especially wide face. Here's why: Spoilers- *Star Trek alternate history! :D *A green-skinned alien space babe! :D She probably dies though :(...

  16. Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade

    Intro and background here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2opeYCmyRRo Very Dystopian Anime, where Japan, after being nuked in WW2, is now recovering in the 60s, and torn between the increasingly authoritarian government (with heavy Nazi influences), and seemingly endless civil unrest. The...

  17. WI: The Delorean Motor Company is Successful?

    What if this had been a common road sight, and not remembered as 'Hey look, it's that time machine car?' :o http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Lorean_DMC-12 I've always had a soft spot for this car. Blame Back to the Future. But its lifespan is an interesting story of mismanagement, corruption...

  18. Attentatet i Pålsjö skog - Swedish Alternate History of WW2

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attentatet_i_P%C3%A5lsj%C3%B6_skog It's so typical that Admiral Canaris wants to leave now :( Because I'll wager he's read this, and I wonder if it's any good, and if it's ever been translated? The premise: Swedish communists blow up a train transporting...

  19. Aliens & Predator (but not AvP!) Comics

    I say I say I say... I remembered reading most of these fine publications, from Dark Horse comics, back in the early 90s. There was even a comc, would you believe, on the shelves in most newsagents here. Now, around 18 years later, I've just discovered the whole lot have been re-released as...

  20. Escalated Falklands War

    There's an old story about the Falklands War, that Margret Thatcher fired a warheadless nuclear missile into Argentina as a show of force. There are also stories that there were plans to attack the Argentine mainland, among other things, by crashlanding Hercules full of SAS men onto airbases...
