  1. Decision: HoI 3 or IV

    Hi, So I've been getting lately into Paradox games, CK II and EUIV, and it only makes sense to try going for their other "big name" game Hearts of Iron, but I was wondering what you guys think out of curiosity, if I should get III, since it's established and probably has most of the early...

  2. WI A Better Funded/Equipped Coastal Command

    well basically on the Tin; Coastal Command imo got the Short End, was pretty badly under equipped and/or utilised. Once they got going with decent a/c (Liberators mostly) they performed a lot better. It strikes me that someone, anyone in the RAF or RN ought to have recognised the priority and...

  3. Lawrence of Arabia WI

    As the title says, suppose T.E Lawrence avoids altogether his fatal motorcycle accident, or is only injured but otherwise remains ok. It stands to reason his input on Middle Eastern affairs and countries would be of great value. As an aside IIRC one of the main reasons Motorcycle Helmets were...

  4. The Tears of the Sun

    So guys, I just finished reading the most recently released of the Emberverse series. I gotta say, Stirling seems to be taking thing right out of HT's playbook, maybe I shoulda taken the hint when i saw HT was one of the "praise for" section on the back :rolleyes: Really it's a lot of...

  5. Post-Stalin USSR w/Beria?

    Hey, so I was wondering/thinking, after Stalin kicked the bucket there was a time where there was a huge power vacuum, and Beria had a lot of clout and responsibilties, though he was mostly despised and loathed by a great many of the Party,and for good reason. But, with Stalin dead a lot of that...

  6. WI: Napoleon marries Grand Duchess Anna

    Hey all, was doing one of my favorite things to do, wiki-crawling stuff on Napoleon, and came across this: Wiki says Now, I don't know if there is anything could be done in terms of a PoD where maybe the offer is accepted, then because of that because of his Russian wife he doesn't or can't...

  7. WI: No Reagan

    President Ronald Reagan, love him or hate him, or both his influence nontheless was immense both in the USA and abroad, so one wonders what if he'd never been born (a la It's A Wonderful Life) and what do you think would happen, who would become President in the 1980's? many questions like that...

  8. Earlier Computing

    Recently I've been looking at various scientists and their history and I always knew about Charles Babbage & his "Difference Engine" which was more or less a computer, albeit a very early one and probably not the most powerful :p So I was thinking, if he had a bit more luck or something and had...

  9. ChrIslam?

    Perhaps this could be a bit of a "touchy" idea, understandably so but It's something that just randomly sort of popped into my head; I won't lie I have little in the way of specifics, and it's quite possibly ASB, I recognize that :p So, for the sake of my own curiosity, and maybe others as well...

  10. SS-GB

    Considering how long I've been an AH fan, I just now finally finished this book by Len Deighton. It sure had it's twisty-turny plot and had me riveted to the end and though the premise of the book is kind of depressing since you see the whole what-could-have happpened with the British General...

  11. Nelson Survives

    Ok, so Nelson died during Trafalgar but WI he Didn't would what influences would he have? Thanks.

  12. DtF

    Apologies as I'm sure most if not all members here have probably already long since read this book and it's associated series; In any case I've just started reading it, about half way through. Has some good fighting scenes and stuff. The whole Wicca thing with the one girl there gets a bit...

  13. Bush '41 and a Second Term.

    I'll be honest, I have no idea how or if this would happen, but I was just wondering what would happen if somehow George.H.W.Bush got his second term, maybe Perot doesn't run or gets into a car accident or plane crash (note: I have nothing against Mr.Perot :p ) any significant changes...

  14. 1824:The Arkansas War

    I was thinking for my next AH book to buy is the one above, I think its an Eric Flint novel; I read 1812 Rivers of War, wasn't bad i enjoyed it but i remember seeing the sequel and wondered if it was worth buying or reading? Many thanks

  15. WI: Lucius and Gaius Caesar Live

    Having just read a biography of Augustus, something came to my attention I wasn't aware of; Agrippa and Julia had 2 sons as named above whom IIRC were more or less being groomed to take over the dynasty once Augustus and Agrippa (whom also tragically died before his time :( ) Both however died...

  16. Napoleon-American Exile?: Redux

    Seeing as before i posted in the incorrect section i thought i might re post to see if it garners any interest. @ any rate here goes Napoleon was exiled to St.Helena in 1815 and some sources (one i read being "Napoleon in exile 1815-1821") say he had expressed a thought of breaking through...

  17. Napoleon-American Exile?

    At my friends' house the other day was flipping through a book called Napoleons Exile 1816-1824; and evidently L'Emperor had a 'flight of fancy' in that he thought he would have a sympathetic cause with the U.S @ the time (they had, after all fought with England 1812-15 ) I'm not entirely...

  18. Boney Stays on Elba.

    a highly unlikley WI but one I propose nontheless; suppose Bonaparte stays in his imposed exile, perhaps illness or some other thing (higher British security?) keeps him from leaving? what kind of impact would this have?

  19. Roman Gunpowder

    Bearing in mind, I'm not entirely sure when how (or if :confused: ) this would happen, but for simplicities sake WI somehow the Romans were able to procure and (eventually) make gunpowder? Would it change all that much, would we see eventually Legions armed with primitive gunpower weaponry...

  20. Isreal: WI

    Here's something I've thought about. its after WWII, and Europes Jews a displaced and in DP Camps with nowhere to go, and they need a homeland to rebuild. So someone takes a look at the map at the ME. They say 'hmm well, we could put it smack dab between these Muslim countries, no big' but...
