  1. Wonderful clockpunk movie

    Astrology isn't proactive enough! Also, the Ottomans, Constantinople, the Holy Roman Empire, Nicholas V wielding a chainsaw, and zeppelins. Because.

  2. So, I'm trying to simulate history

    Vaguely inspired by this thread and some thoughts I had while writing up my Butterfly Effect post. Ideally I'd like to have a program that runs something vaugely looking like history, but right now I'm just settling for succession in France. My current best run of the program looks something...

  3. So what is the butterfly effect?

    So, I need to get back in the explanatory mindset, and I figured I'd do it about something of interest to everybody: the butterfly effect. What is it, how does it work, how strong is it, and how does it apply to AH? Well, hopefully I can explain. We'll begin, as usual, with some history. In...

  4. Maximum number of possible Germanies?

    We currently have five (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg). It's been generally agreed that keeping 38 around is pretty much impossible. So how could you get more? (Put in post-1900 for simplicity but you can go before if you wish.)

  5. American Libertopia!

    Well, no not really. But let's see... The US Declaration of Independence includes the phrase "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the unanimous consent of the governed..." As a result, Albert Gallatin manages to handwave and scotchtape his way into...

  6. DBWI: Henry Paget Flashman killed in 1839?

    Shortly after his expulsion from Rugby School in 1839, Harry Flashman joined up into the 11th Dragoons and rather quickly got himself challenged to a duel with another officer. He survived (and in the process got his first bit of fame en route to becoming the celebrated Victorian adventurer-war...

  7. How did borders in the HRE work?

    Basically, I want Susano in here. ;) Post-1648, did they actually run up customs between all the principalities? Just the big ones? Between some of them only? How about on the border with France? And in, eg, the War of the Spanish Succession, armies just tromped in a straight line with no...

  8. Second World War with much improved leaders

    Germany: Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. Soviet Union / Russia: Ungern von Sternberg. Just those two, of course, would produce a much more AH WWII, but I welcome suggestions for other WWII leaders. Not to mention timelines that could get them all together.

  9. A different way to stop Islam!

    ...Now that you're all here and breathing fire at me, I'll explain what I mean (it's not quite as inflammatory as it sounds and no, I haven't become a Republican troll in the last month. ;)) Most "Smaller Islam Post-622" timelines involve the Byzantines, for a couple of reasons: one, the...

  10. Look to the DBWI: What happened to Lisieux?

    Post your theories here. Be sure to cite sources. OOC: Yay! We finally have a legit LTTW DBWI!

  11. Some really cool charts

    I like these six the best.

  12. House of Yes Prime Minister

    Francis Urquhart VS Sir Humphrey Appleby. Go! :D

  13. As part of my endless cold-war with Susano...

    Disunited Germany as long as possible (to 1900 at least and to the present if possible). The yellow area must have at least five independent* states, with more being a bonus, and continuity with HREGN princely states is also a bonus. POD after... say... 1789. *And no Second Reich...

  14. Bourassa's Nightmare: Canada in the Fashoda War

    Quebec is going to go... interesting places. The conscription crisis will look like a petty squabble next to the FUBAR of French-Canadian opinion in this war. :D Any good Fashoda timelines that cover this, or just good Fashoda TLs in general? I want an excuse to start thinking about this. ;)

  15. TORONTO DID NOT EXIST IN 1783!

    The settlement of Upper Canada did not work that way! Goodnight! I'm bumping this thread every 24h until it sinks into your thick heads. :mad:

  16. I needed to do this in "post 1900"

    "...So help me god." Bang. Well? WI?

  17. Professor Zyzzyva's Canadian History 101

    Well, we've gone through annoying thread after annoying thread of "WI Toronto joined the American Revolution?" and I've decided it's time for some edumacating. Fortunately for me, I'm taking HIST257 this term and therefore have a lovely stock of notes - getting longer every Monday and Wednesday...

  18. "Man: the Next 30 Years"

    Published in 1968. :cool: Just got it from the UW library. Will give more details as I read it... but it promises to be good.

  19. "Trinity" Fails to Detonate

    Just to round out the inevitable copycat threads. ;) So, Trinity doesn't go off. What does this do to the US nuclear program? Preumably they'll still use Little Boy, just because it's a simpler model. But how long will it be before they try a Pu bomb again? ...And how long after July 16th will...

  20. Pearl Harbor at Scapa Flow

    Yes, the thread title is misleading. I know there's no way anyone without carriers could surprise-attack Scapa Flow in the 30s. But, the Home Fleet wasn't moved to Scapa Flow until shortly before the war started. Where was it deployed before that? Anywhere in range of Germany? Was it...
