  1. NDCR argument thread.

    Because people(including me) are getting tired of the arguments I decided to go ahead and make a catch all argument thread to stop the clutter in the main one. So go-ahead and complain and defend it here so the main thread stops getting so damn cluttered.

  2. Now we are all sons of bitches.

    Now we are all sons of bitches. The aftermath of a Cuban Missile war gone horribly right. America was involved in three world wars during the 20th century and emerged from each one stronger then the last. WW1 cemented the country's status as a Great Power, WW2 made it a superpower and...

  3. WI: Instead of Amtrak the rail companies were subsidized?

    So something that's been rattling around in my brain lately and I finally decided to post here and see what you guys thought. Basically instead of nationalizing rail service the US Government gives the railroads subsidies to run the passenger trains instead? The thinking going through my head is...

  4. WI: Big Bird was on Challenger

    Based upon these three posts in the WI: Challenger never happened thread. So lets say instead of Christa McAuliffe being chosen to fly aboard Challenger they are able to get Big Bird to be able to fly it instead? What are the effects this has on Sesame Street? How do they handle Big...

  5. Which is more ASB: Sealion or D-Day failing?

    As the title asks which in your opinion would be the more ASB thing to happen? Note that no PoD's can take effect until AFTER the operations begin. So in the case of Sealion everything is OTL until the Battle of Britain begins while in the D-Day invasions case everything is OTL until the ships...

  6. Kaiserreich: Whats supposed to be the true ending?

    So I got Darkest Hour recently and first thing I did after patching the game up was download Kaiserreich and i'm having a fucking blast with it. Something I've been wondering though and I don't know if its ever been mentioned before but what's supposed to be the true ending for the mod...

  7. WI: Grant wins the 1880 Republican nomination?

    What it says on the tin. What if Grant won the Republican nomination for president in 1880? How well would he do and if he won what would he do in office?

  8. WI: Yugoslavian agent kills Stalin?

    So during the split between Tito and Stalin old Uncle Joe kept sending NKVD agents to kill him and Tito eventually wrote a letter telling him to stop because if he didn't Tito would send one to Moscow to kill him and would've have to send another. So what happens if Stalin doesn't stop and Tito...

  9. How does the civil war proceed if Lee at the Alamo really happened?

    First link to the story for those who haven't read it. http://www.tor.com/2011/09/07/lee-at-the-alamo/ Now a quick summary of it, PoD is David Twiggs gets an illness that prevents him from taking command of the Department of Texas and thus Lee is given the job. When the Texas secedes from...

  10. WI: William Francis Gibbs gets his superliner in the twenties.

    So something I've been wondering since reading the book A Man and His Ship about Gibbs and his struggle to build the United States. One of the chapters talked about how Gibbs was pissed when i stead of going for his superliner idea which if not for WW1 would've gone ahead and instead went for...

  11. OP Barbarossa WI: Stalin dies and the military takes over?

    Ok so it's well know that upon hearing of the Nazi invasion Stalin had a mental breakdown and for at least a week(IIRC) the Soviets were without his leadership. What if upon hearing the news he has a heart attack and dies which upon hearing the new the Soviet military seizes power? Handwaving...

  12. TR's reaction to the British blockade?

    Lets say that Taft and TR never split and thus before the 1912 RNC he talks to TR about becoming a justice of the Supreme Court. TR then makes a deal with him. Taft supports him for the nomination of the presidency and TR will make him a justice. With no split in the party TR is able to win a...

  13. TL-191 WI: TR wins a third term

    So something that I never found realistic in TL-191(among other things) is TR not wining that third term when by all rights(at least IMO) he should have. So lets say he does win it. How will that effect the lead up to the Second Great War?

  14. WI: July 20th coup succeeds and Rommel is put in charge?

    Just a little something been rolling around in my brain I though i'd ask you guys about. First PoD is Rommel isn't strafed in in his car. Second PoD is the briefcase isn't moved and thus Hitler is killed. Now I know how unlikely it is that the conspirators would actually succeed in gaining...

  15. AHC: Have Patton shoot Hitler.

    Your challenge should you choose to accept it is to have George. S. Patton end up not only leading the 3rd Army into Berlin ahead of the Soviet's but also as he said in his famous speech to the 3rd Army have him shoot that paper-hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. The PoD can be no earlier then US...

  16. AHC: Nathaniel Bedford Forrest civil rights hero.

    Your challenge should you choose to accept it is to by the time of his death have Nathaniel Bedford Forrest be remembered as a civil rights hero using any PoD after his birth. Bonus points if you can keep him loyal to the CSA.

  17. Would more lifeboats on the Titanic have even mattered?

    So yesterday I was watching documentary on the Titanic sinking when I thought came to me after the show mentioned the timeline of the lifeboats as they left the ship. Would more lifeboats have even mattered given that the last of the non collapsible boats launched only a few minutes before the...

  18. If the CSA "wins" in 1864-65 how much would they actually keep?

    First off a bit of background for this. Standard PoD that has Joseph E. Johnston not get replaced and thus he's able to keep Atlanta from falling long enough to have Lincoln loose the election. Atlanta does end up falling but lets say it holds out until around Christmas so Sherman isn't able to...

  19. WI: Hooker isn't hit by a cannonball?

    Inspired in part by this thread https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=343485 I ask you all a WI I haven't seen before. The PoD is that the cannonball that hit the post Hooker was leaning against instead misses it completely and passes by harmlessly. So without that...

  20. What would you want in Victoria 3?

    So if Paradox even makes Vicky 3 what exactly would you want to see improved or added to the game? Personally something I would like is if two of your spherelings go to war against each other you can try and meditate a peace between the two. For example lets say as Germany you've created...
