  1. A Southern West

    An interesting topic I came across recently was (American) Western expansion and its role in the South-North divide leading up to the Civil War. Particularly interesting was the case made that while we tend to view the (Mid)West as more Northern than Southern, such was not the case in the early...

  2. Paint.Net v 3.5

    Since this is THE map making center of AH.Com I've decided to put it here. They've updated Paint.Net (my most used resource for maps due to it's simplicity and usefulness) to 3.5. It appears, however, making the update is a mistake: They need to work on it. The 'Lasso select' is gone, as are...

  3. Inkscape...

    Inkscape... EDIT: Now it's GIMP! OK, so I've gotten this annoying thing and am jhoping to get GIMP soon so I can use the text bending and such without having to resort to this insane and infernal program! Anyways... so, I try to SELECT two objects, a path and a text. Instead, it keeps moving...

  4. The Hindenburg Line Holds

    1918, France. The Germans have just been defeated in a massive Allied counterattack, after their own attack stalled a few kilometers away from Paris. The Allies are pushing the Gerrmans back. Even Ludendorf seems to be accepting the defeat. However, the Germans retreat into the Hindenburg Line...

  5. CW's European History Atlas

    Communist Wizard's Atlas of European History I recently made a base map of Europe with borders only one pixel thick borders, and the same for rivers. And coastlines. It was in Mercator projection, but it's also a small continent so the only distortion is in the north, which is of little...

  6. An Awesome Map...

    Central Asia, 1838. Between the Old English, the antiquated names, plus the whole unfamilariaty of Central Asia in this time, and the whole old feel of this map... it looks awesome.

  7. Worst Case Scenario For the Central Powers - 1914

    So, basically, how can we get the Worst Case Scenario for the Central Powers in 1914? i.e., a decisive and quick victory by all of the Entente against the CP. How can we get a total failure of the Germans in France? How can Russia defeat AH and Germany decisively? What would be the...

  8. No Massively Industrialised (US of) America

    So, since practically the 1880s or so, the USA was very industrialised as well as being very large. It got many immigrants, it had many resources, it was protected by the ceans and the British, the only ones who could get to them outside of France and Mexico, were cintent to be friends. It had...

  9. AH Challenge: Anglo-German Alliance... still gets crushed!

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create a scenario where the British Empire and the German Empire do, in fact, ally. This is the typical rightist wank-scenario for both Britain, but more importantly, imperial Germany to survive, prosper, dominate Europe and the world. Oh...

  10. A Western Russia?

    Now, in OTL, Russia has been considered part of the East. In many ways it is. Pretty backwards (most of the time), poor, authoritarian. Large. Asiatic. So, how would history be different if Russia was considered part of the West? I believe it's not a stretch. The Russians hail from...

  11. Zhukov Advances West, Takes Berlin February

    Watching a few documentaries and reading a few books, I've heard/read more than a few laments and rejoicings that there was a clear chance to take Berlin February, before it could build up it's defenses. Why this chance wasn't taken was A)Stalin was a Yalta. He wasn't too interested in army...

  12. 447: Attila Captures Constantinople?

    In 447, several Earthquakes destroyed the Walls of Constantinople. Not totally, but enough damage was done that Atilla sensed an opportunity and rode towards New Rome. In OTL, restoration was surprising quick, and by the time Atilla got there he was disappointed. What if the Earthquakes were...

  13. The Lost Regiment series by William R. Forstchen

    Doing a quick search I was amazed to discover that this series didn't have a million and one threads about it. It is a sort of ASB AH series where Union soldiers are dropped off to an alien world where human-eating Mongol-esque hordes rule the world, and the war of the 'Republic' (humans joining...

  14. A Giga Plague in the mid-19th Century?

    Since big catastrophic plagues are DEFINETLY not ASB as it takes a few minor PODs to mutate a virus (though oddly seen as almost taboo here), what would be the effects of a big plague spreading across the now relatively getting connected world? I'm thinking in the range of at least 60%...

  15. The Papal Empire?

    So, we have a thread on the Pope ruling Italy and I myself have been playing as the Papal States in Shared Worlds. How could we have a greatly expanded Papal States? Perhaps ruling all of Italy, or maybe more? What effects on the religion would this have? Hmm?

  16. AH Challenge: Eastern Orthodox (Russian-style) Japan

    Your challenge, readers, is to get Japan to be Eastern Orthodox by 1850 (i.e. official religion). And not just any Eastern Orthodox, Russian-style Eastern Orthodox. Slight divergences from the Russian style to a Japanese style are allowed. Bonus points if: -The religion is larger than any other...

  17. Complete Soviet Victory (WW2)

    In OTL, the USSR won WW2, but at great cost. Huge numbers of casualties, many industries destroyed, one of the worst occupations in history, etc. etc. Then, it also lost Western Europe to the Allies. These factors combined together probaly were a main reason in why it lost the Cold War. And...

  18. For All Time: Earlier POD?

    Most of us know what FAT is: A POD used to make the world extremely bad all the time. Where it gets worse and worse... So what if we made everything bad happen earlier? Say, FAT from 1700. Or 200 BC. Or something. How could you do it? When should you start? What would the world look like (no...

  19. The Taiping Rebellion... successful?

    So, we all know what the Taiping Rebellion is, right? A rebellion by a heterodox Chinese Christian. Early on, they tried a great pincer movement (west and north to Beijing). What if that was successful, and the Taping gained control of China? What next?

  20. Why Operation Sealion could not have been performed successfullly by the Third Reich

    I know we have gone over it multiple times, but let us make a compendum of it on this thread so it can be used at a later date. Argue against or for the idea, but give me lots of Facts. I know CalBear and some others are very proficient in this. ;)
