  1. WI the Japanese Made Bataan a Big POW Camp?

    We have had a lot of threads that deal with the question of what if the US implemented the stipulations of War Plan Orange from the start and retreated to Bataan with better organization and a greater amount of supplies. I'm going to turn this one on its head a little bit. What if the Japanese...

  2. Jerry Pournelle's Janissaries

    I guess this counts as AH given as far as I know aliens are not taking soldiers from earth to another planet to grow drugs. Anyhow, this is one of my favorite series of books, I devoured these books in the 1980s and I have been waiting over 30 years for the fourth book to come out and it finally...

  3. DBWI Disney Went All In On Streaming

    Okay, it's 12 November 2019 the launch date for Disney+ so it had to be done so here it goes: Obviously streaming services are a huge part of entertainment today - on our phones, our pads, our TVs, and our computers. It seems like we can watch just about anything. However, it is interesting...

  4. The World of the Two Georges

    I just got done re-reading the stand alone AH Book by Harry Turtledove and Richard Dreyfuss, The Two Georges. https://www.amazon.com/Two-Georges-Richard-Dreyfuss/dp/0312859694/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=the+two+georges&qid=1556149383&s=gateway&sr=8-2 I view this book as lost potential. The book is...

  5. WI They Actually Found Something on Oak Island?

    Okay I'll admit it, these conspiracy oriented shows on the History Channel are one of my guilty pleasures - Curse of Oak Island, America Unearthed, and Ancient Aliens, I love them all. One thing that absolutely amazes is how a postage stamp sized island off the coast of Nova Scotia has been...

  6. A Book For Cal Bear

    I'm going to have to order this: https://www.amazon.com/Alaska-CB-1-Guam-CB-2-Battlecruisers-ebook/dp/B079D6F5BZ/ref=sr_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1517532335&sr=1-10&keywords=alternate+history

  8. DBWI Lebron James Had Signed With Cleveland in 2014

    In 2014 Lebron James exercised the opt-out clause in his contract and became a free agent. Obviously a number of teams tried to sign him but he was very close to signing a contract with his original team, the Cleveland Cavaliers before the Miami Heat swooped in at the last minute and offered...

  9. Alternate Star Wars Movies

    Okay, in honor of the Rogue One trailer that came out today, what are some alternate SW movies we would like to see? For starters I am thinking that one on how the Emperor and Darth Vader consolidated power immediately after the events of Episode III.

  10. WI: The Admiralty's Fleet at Singapore?

    I am paging through my well worn copy of BH Liddell Hart's book and he points out that the Admiralty wanted to assemble a substantial fleet at Singapore - two to three carriers, the NELRODs, the four Rs, a battlecruiser, plus attendant cruisers and destroyers. Churchill of course preferred...

  11. More Clive Cussler Novels Made Into Movies

    CC novels are my guilty pleasure and I just got done reading the latest installment of the Oregon Files series. So, other than Sahara and Raise the Titanic (sort of) none of his other books have been made into movies. Which ones would be good? I think Treasure and Inca Gold would make...

  12. DBWI - American Pharoah Had Won the Triple Crown

    In keeping with the spirit of today's events: American Pharoah looked like he was going to be the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978 but like Smarty Jones in 2004, he couldn't hold on down the stretch, losing by half a length to Keen Ice. What would it have meant for horse...

  13. The Great Pacific War 1940-1944

    My apologies if a thread has been started on this already but I just stumbled across this book while on Amazon and I went ahead and ordered it, in part so I could spend enough money to get free shipping. Has anybody read it? Will I regret buying it...

  14. WI the College Football Playoffs Consisted of Eight Teams?

    Okay, in the spirit of today I thought I would start a short discussion on the College Football Playoff system. What if it was eight teams instead of four? Obviously the easy answer is TCU, Baylor, Mississippi State, and Michigan State would have all gotten in as well. However, would...

  15. AHC: Make Festivus a Real Holiday

    Okay Seinfeld fans, we all know that in the show Frank Costanza created the Festivus for the Rest of Us because he had grown weary of the crass commercialism of Christmas. We also know that in the real world, December 23rd has been established as Festivus and you can even buy Festivus Poles and...

  16. DBWI the Germans had not used their carriers during OPERATION WESERUBUNG

    Okay folks, we all know what happened. Hitler, Raeder, and even Goering drank the carrier Kool Aid and insisted that the German Navy had to have aircraft carriers. The GZ was rushed to completion and was undergoing sea trials at the start of the war and they also converted the merchant ship...

  17. April 1942 Alternate Indian Ocean

    A little bit of a Britwank from a Yank that attempts a different twist on a long debated operation in the Indian Ocean. Primary POD - Codebreakers and traffic analysts at the Far East Combined Bureau in Colombo actually provided Somerville with fairly accurate intelligence regarding Nagumo...

  18. WI The US Had Built More Treasury Class CG Cutters in 1939 and 1940?

    I was paging through Clay Blair's "Hitler's U-Boat War" and he talks about how early in the European war the US Navy's General Board made up of admirals reaching retirement age (including Ernie King) recognized a need for more convoy escorts. The General Board recommended serial production of...

  19. Alternate Midway - the US Runs Up the Score

    Hi, I am new here and I am working on an ATL for the Battle of Midway but unlike most ATLs about Midway that have the Japanese winning the battle, in this one the US wins even bigger which IMO they should have done. I have been studying the Battle of Midway since I first read Ira Peck’s book...
