  1. January 1943. The German View

    This seems to be the forum to post his bit of alternative history. Its similar to the pair of previous items I place here a few years ago. Had been planning on adding more to it, but other projects dear to my heat and bank account intrude, so what I can complete will appear here. The...

  2. Remake Videodrome to fit 2003 +

    Up dating Videodrome to the 21st Century & internet makes it sound even scarier. Any thoughts on its validity? for our era? I'd think with a decent director and script, pl=us current marketing it could have some serious impact on perception of the internet as a psychological manipulation tool

  6. South Seas Battle Preparations. April/May 1942

    PoD is the decision on where the Japanese will resume the offensive in late May 1942. The evidence presented by Rochforts team on Oahu fails to support the concept of a Midway/Hawaii or Central and North Pacific offensive. King & Nimitz agree the enemy will move in the S Pacific within two...

  7. Bismarck Disappears

    ... or any of the other German capitol ships. Assume the HMS submarine Terribleluck comes to the edge of a rain squall & finds the Bismarck coming on to a good fringe angle, at very close range. Close enough the torpedos have just enough time to arm. The skipper manages to get them off, but...

  8. No Rocky Horror Picture Show

    Inspired by the No James Bond thread <https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-no-james-bond.519378/page-3> Assume the script never gets written & the concept languishes in a page of notes. Would a 'alternative life style' replacement story emerge? Or, the genre remain obscure in...

  9. Bush Jr Daughters Join the Military

    Jenna & Barbara were of age when OIF went down. If they had joined the US military what are the likely results? I recall both being disparaged at the time as college party girls and being a example of rich girl syndrome. Conversely the evidence held up of this was small and thin stuff...

  10. The Great War of the 19th Century.

    1815 to 1914 was a extended era of general peace in Europe. Wars were limited in participants, time, and resource consumption. What route could lead to a 'Great War' in the latter half or the 19th Century? My first thought depends on a bats shit crazy instead of Otto von Bismarck unifying...

  11. Atomic Weapons Develpment Delayed. Post War Development?

    Rereading several threads on the A Bomb several PoD turned up which could have waived away a nuclear weapon for WWII. My question here is how would the course for development for such weapons have been post war. The basis 1. The USN project started as a power source research project. I dont...

  12. Korea. Chinese Intervention Not a Surprise

    What happens if Macs intelligence staff had recognized & convinced him there was a Chinese army infiltrating south between the US Army columns heading north? In this Lt Gen 'Bulldog' Walker commander of 8th Army would be critical in the details of the operational and tactical changes, if any...

    Drawing on the theme of this old thread https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/german-fleet-post-great-war-w-o-german-defeat.414524/ That is the Great War ends with a White Peace. What direction does the Royal Navy take for the next decade or two? How drastically are the doctrines and...

  14. 1920s Sea Change

    Any chance any major navy decides carriers are the future, and drops battleship & battlecruiser construction? Building a forward looking carrier force instead? Does naval airpower (land based as well as carrier) make any sense for second tier navies like France, Italy, USSR, or Germany? This...

  16. Beer Hall Putch Successful.

    Let's assume the Nazi attempt to take over the Bavarian government was much better organized and prepared. How much traction does this newborn movement have circa 1924-25? Where does a decade earlier Nazi start at government lead?

  17. US Senate Remains Appointed

    Popular election of the US Senate came about gradually. Any thoughts on the pros and cons, or the possibilities of the Senate remaining predominately appointed? I'm pondering some bits of literature on the subject, and criticism of the Senate as it presently exists.

  18. Leyte Gulf

    Not seen this battle discussed much. There are plenty of descriptions available online so I'll not do a tedious & inadequate description. There are several variants of the battle I'd present as WI. 1. When it became apparent on the 25th Oct TF 34 of Lees battleships & escorts would need to...

  19. Guderian Goes Into Plastics

    Bonus if you understand the PoD reference from a alt history movie. PoD being in the 1920s, the Reichswehrs investigation of mechanization and the theories of the tank as a "strategic weapon" is stillborn and the trend continues into the nazi/Wehrmacht era. The doctrine chosen is more...
