From this and your earlier posts, your knowledge in romance linguistics is great. I have to notice that in modern italian a fish is "un pesce", plural "pesci", "un pesco" is a peach tree and the plural is "peschi". A peach is "una pesca", plural "pesche" (femminine). Amico/Amica/Amici/Amiche...

I think you need a radical technological POD that radically changes the price/performance curve of current computers. With micorprocessors cpus the curve is a high base logarithm: after the optimal price/performance point performance increases linearly and price exponentially...

Is the spiegel story independent of the "the bullettin one"? http://thebulletin.org/okinawa-missiles-october8826 It's chilling veritable but the same thebulletin.org (already a sided source) specifies it has only one source for this.

I loved the idea of that series. Saddly it was played hurriedly and closed in even more hurry. I was uncertain if it was depicting a secret history in this or an alternate history when in one scene (when they throw the guy in space) all is revealed and turned inside out in a secret history...

Sorry, didn't see your thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=371361 For the movie I'd need to wait a subtitled version. They translated the book and it's on my Amazon wishlist too. Thanks

Or anyone read the book? And ... anywhere english subtitled trailers?

The Suez Crisis marks the beginning of an era of heavy US involvement in the middle east that lasts to this day. Is it a win or a lose? :rolleyes:

Labelling Appeasement a disaster needs some hindsight. With some foresight one could easily predict the Suez Crisis disaster.

Is there a chance that a Republican Italy actually fared better than the Italian Kingdom? Sure the kingdom gave stability in the post-war but most of the bureaucracy was filled with the same IMHO incompetent lackeys. OTL that has been changed with the 1990s corruption scandals including the...

I allways bought Paradox titles from Gamers Gate. My last was CK2 republic. An intersting review: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/08/06/stellaris-paradox-strategy-game/

I'm looking forward to it! Paradox has allways put a new spin on strategic games (e.g. role playing in CK, complex economic and sociology in Victoria, logistics and manuvering in HOI, etc...), albeit, making them more complicated for the casual gamers. Sadly they went from a DRM free shop to...

nice updates

On the other hand, a dead Cavour would justify a great deal of Kingdom of Italy's incompetence. All for our amusement ;) I'm not sayin' killing him as ITTL but having him have many years of produtive life perduring his sickness and stuberness would be against the principle of minimal change...

One more thing: Cavour being alive or dead is f**king important. For one, the next competent statesman is Giolitti if not De Gasperi.

Does it report to deaths due to actual fighting rather than sickness?
