  1. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Or more Charles Curtis types, as he was our Vice President for Herbert Hoover OTL and was half Native American.

  2. Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    One thing I've thought about. What about military bands? Does Japan have them in general use in their military and does each fiefdom have individual military theme songs for their troops? I'm aware that military bands were an Ottoman innovation that then spread to Europe, but is this something...

  3. Romulus Augustulus is not deposed by Odoacer and rules into adulthood

    Got to admit, that was perhaps my favorite Late Antiquity timeline on this site - basically this version of Romulus had rolled max on all his stats and was a Caesar Augustus level of Emperor, pushing the WRE back from the brink to becoming somewhat prosperous again.

  4. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Speaking of which, in terms of Germans who live in the Western Hemisphere, let's not forget the country that has the largest German population of all - the United States. Wouldn't focusing efforts on getting on the USAs goods idea be the top priority of any sane German foreign policy.

  5. The Fingerprints Of Epstein - Yet Another Beatles TL

    Looks like Kurt Cobain lives! Always good news

  6. The Fingerprints Of Epstein - Yet Another Beatles TL

    This one is actually really good. Maybe put a more gray in his hair and mustache and that's a mid 50s Epstein.

  7. Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    As you mentioned, I don't think Japan particularly cares who they choose between France and the Dutch, and in fact might try to leverage the two of them against each other to gain better trade deals. Conversely, either France or the Dutch or any other European power would keenly understand at...

  8. AHC: California remains a red state

    Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't the typical Red State governor though. Throughout his governorship he gradually drifted to the center and was even considered left wing when it came to environmentalism (like the Global Warming Solutions act in 2006, or the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative the...

  9. AHC: California remains a red state

    One major mistake for the California Republican Party was Prop 187 in 1994, which would deny health, educational and other services to undocumented people in California, and was widely perceived to be xenophobic and racist. It was the epitome of a pyhrric victory, as it galvanized Californias...

  10. Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    The Joseon military could also easily come up with the mantra that 'we would have won the war if only we were not stabbed in the back by the scheming nobles'. The Joseon military conducted themselves very impressively against Japan, fighting them to essentially a draw. I could easily see them...

  11. The Fingerprints Of Epstein - Yet Another Beatles TL

    I think there was an earlier post about Brian Epstein contemplating the rumors of Freddie Mercury's HIV diagnosis.

  12. An Age of Miracles III: The Romans Endure

    The fact that Sartenos force marched his army nearly 1000km from Syria, ignored the Army of Suffering and allowed the rebels to destroy a third of his force seems to indicate that yes, he does have to attack immediately and he cannot afford to take his time. Otherwise, Smyrna will fall. Because...

  13. An Age of Miracles III: The Romans Endure

    Ouch, losing more than a third of his entire force while the ones you have remaining are tired, scattered and inexperienced? Plus they still have to engage a blocking force before arriving at Smryna? I'm sorry, but that sounds like a recipe for utter disaster.

  14. The Fingerprints Of Epstein - Yet Another Beatles TL

    I think it's honestly optimistic to think that George Harrison will live until 2039. He'd been diagnosed with throat cancer otl in 1997 because of a lifetime of smoking and I don't think the POD addressed that. Of course, ittl, I don't think that Harrison will suffer the knife attack he suffered...

  15. The Fingerprints Of Epstein - Yet Another Beatles TL

    Perhaps the end date for the TL would be the natural TTL death of Brian Epstein, or at least the time that he decides to retire.

  16. The Fingerprints Of Epstein - Yet Another Beatles TL

    I would be born right in between the Asian and the Oceania tours.

  17. Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    I'm curious as to how well the Japanese explored the Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka. If the Japanese are dedicating more effort into to controlling the Siberian Fur trade, you'd think they would make substantial efforts of exploration. Even just knowing what is there would give Japan a huge...

  18. Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    Taking Jeju Island won't be easy. As the update has shown, Korea is well aware of Japan's militancy and the prowess they've shown in beating back the Spanish twice, defeating the Russians in a major logistical feat in the Amur River and right after they had been waging a Civil War, and as such...

  19. The Fingerprints Of Epstein - Yet Another Beatles TL

    Sorry if you're disappointed in the lack of reviews. I think it is more of a reflection if the Beatles being past their prime, and that they're in sort of that awkward transition period from their heyday but before the 90s and 2000s time period where their popularity would be based entirely on...

  20. Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    10,000 soldiers is quite a large intervention for a region that doesn't have much infrastructure and where the logistics are extremely difficult. Japanese military planners should be thanking the stars that more of them didn't die of exposure, and it could have easily ended up in disaster. They...
