  1. WI: Cuba becomes a Confederate state?

    In a lot of "CSA wins" scenarioes, I've seen hints of Confederate designs on Cuba. Which is interesting, because, while both are slave societies in the 1860s, they don't really see the racial aspects the same way. In particular, while sexual relations between Southern slave owners and slaves...

  2. AHC: US Congress approves a conflict against a President's wishes

    This has happened before, specifically in the case of the Spanish-American war, which McKinley opposed and didn't ask for and Congress declared anyway. Let's make it happen again, but this time after 1945 (POD can be before, just not the war). Congress can either declare a war or pass an...

  3. WI: The Black Panthers get blamed for assassinating Nixon?

    It's the Summer of 1970, the height of the Black Panthers' popularity, and Richard Nixon has just been assassinated. The Black Panthers didn't do it, because they aren't that level of fucking insane, but whoever did it set up a pretty good frame job, and several Panthers have been identified as...

  4. AHC/PC/WI: Better Off Brazil Politically And Economically

    I know you're kicked, but I got some shit to say. Argentina and Chile would like words with you. Are you aware that the French are predominately Catholic? I also remind you that Zimbabwe and Sudan were British colonies, and the Middle East was largely colonized by the British and French. There...

  5. I need some help weakening the US Military.

    This might work well, too.

  6. I need some help weakening the US Military.

    I had an idea. FDR has a heart attack early on, the Great Depression cripples America worse than OTL, and Western Europe also recovers slower. No break up of the US, but it gets nasty. A Second World war breaks out, and America avoids getting involved in Europe. When Japan attacks, America...

  7. I need some help weakening the US Military.

    I'm thinking of maybe writing something, but I would need help setting up a premise. I need the US Navy and Air Force not to rank in the top 3 militaries in terms of size, training, and equipment at the year 2000, but I also need the US to remain a developed country with a high standard of...

  8. AHC: Sweden Fights in a World War

    It can be World War 1 or World War 2, and it doesn't matter which side Sweden joins, just that they get wrapped into it. POD is anything after 1900, and the war can be something that looks very different than OTL.

  9. The Official Dieselpunk Thread

    I heard that tank was a joke thought up over beers, but it was funny. I lost it when thr second prototype broke crossing a ravine. And let's be honest. It would have been virtually immobile on anything but flat,'unbroken plains or good roads, and Stukas or artillery would have a field day with it.

  10. The Official Dieselpunk Thread

    You can use a firearm that's been sitting neglected in storage for 60 to 70 years without major problems?

  11. WI Hitler conquers Britain?

    Yes, yes, we all know Sealion was never going to work. Completely implausible because the Kriegsmarine can't handle the Royal Navy, the barges aren't seaworthy, logistics is the ultimate cock block, and so on and so forth. Let's set those facts aside for a minute and just roll with the...

  12. WI: War Plan Red activates, and Canada declares neutrality?

    From what I'm reading of America's plan for war with Britain, the authors thought Canada might well declare neutrality if war broke out. Since Britain had no plans to defend Canada in the event of war, and Canada has nothing to gain and everything to lose from fighting, this would be a smart...

  13. AHC: Japan and China close allies

    Would that really turn the Japanese over to Communism?

  14. AHC: Japan and China close allies

    With any POD after 1900, create a situation where Japan and China are close allies as of 2015.

  15. AHC: Nuke somebody without starting WWIII.

    I doubt a plane crash would detonate the nukes. They'd have to be armed, and if they are armed either somebody monumentally fucked up in a manner that defies all logical conception or it was intentional.

  16. AHC: Nuke somebody without starting WWIII.

    Of all the things I would have expected, that is not one of them.

  17. AHC: Nuke somebody without starting WWIII.

    Always wondered how that would have turned out.

  18. AHC: Nuke somebody without starting WWIII.

    Ooooh. Please elaborate.

  19. AHC: Nuke somebody without starting WWIII.

    Any time after World War 2, one nation or terrorist group must nuke a military or civilian target. Who does the nuking and who gets nuked is up for discretion, as is the number and size of nukes and delivery method. The caveat is that, while nuclear weapons may be deployed in retaliation for the...

  20. AHC: American troops undergo combat operations in Mexico

    The POD can be anything after 1900, but the combat has to take place after 1980. The closer to the present the POD, the better. The operations do not have to be with regular troops (though they can be). They can be with just special forces and air strikes (though this would have to be a...
