  1. A True and Better Alamo Redux

    The Malta post has been officially retconned so arguing about its plausibility is a moot point. Continuing to dispute it is likely to only serve as a distraction from research and writing for the TL. Can we not take our opinions on the issue and set them aside?

  2. A True and Better Alamo Redux

    Was this intended to be snarky?

  3. A True and Better Alamo Redux

    Oof, that's brutal to hear but your willingness to change things based off new research is commendable.

  4. DBWI President George W Bush

    OOC: Well no Bush means no Axis of Evil speech so it's possible that US-Iran relations are better than they were OTL, if nothing else more like they are right now (tense but we're trying to make it work). McCain would probably advocate peacekeepers in the north of Iraq though (the Kurds would...

  5. DBWI President George W Bush

    Okay, unpopular opinion here, but I think that we might have gone into Iraq if Bush had won. Bush's VP, Cheney, was a neo-con with ties to oil companies. Combine that with Bush's own vendetta with Saddam and the fact that going into Iraq was strongly considered OTL and it might have actually...

  6. Revolution in the 60s

    You're gonna need to be a bit more specific on your question and it's generally considered good practice to offer your own two cents on the subject you're asking about.

  7. WI: Wallies attack Berlin first

    I'd assume a lot like what the US in the Pacific felt after Okinawa or like after OTL battles in Huế or Fallujah. In any case you'd probably get a bigger celebration and sense of accomplishment when the city is finally taken.

    China could be interesting.

  9. Alternate Asia 1946

    Looks like they held onto most of Central Asia. Although maybe that's not surprising since they didn't have luck elsewhere they probably doubled down there and held on despite the breakup.

  10. Alternate Asia 1946

    Wait, I thought there was still a rump North Korea or at least what was left was absorbed into the PRC. Did I miss an update on that?

  11. Robert Conroy

    Woah. His books were always enjoyable, plausibility tended to vary but still enjoyable. Rest in peace Mr. Conroy.

  12. WI: US retaliates for Beirut bombing

    What about the knock-on effect of it though? IIRC the US not retaliating after the bombings was one of the inspirations to terrorists in the Middle East, even Bin Laden himself said as much in an interview. If there was a response it could have deflated at least some of the perceptions of a...

  13. Japan As A Us teritory

    Minimal fuss...after a rather messy occupation for the decades prior that was only really alleviated after the US guaranteed eventual independence and worked with them to make sure they were prepared for it.

  14. And To Think It Might Have Happened: A Ukraine War Timeline

    I wonder how good the OP's map making skills are... Also, I took a look at the size of a few major air forces and found that Russia would be in a position akin to Germany in WWII, they can field a lot of units initially but they can't take the same losses. The US alone has over 2x the...

  15. And To Think It Might Have Happened: A Ukraine War Timeline

    China intervening over Taiwan would not be a good idea. China would be asking themselves, "Is Taiwan really worth tanking our economy over?" The answer is no. They can certainly provide some under-the-table aid to both sides to prolong the conflict and start asserting themselves in Asia more...

  16. If Al Gore was elected in 2000 instead of GWB, would terrorism still be a big issue

    Here's my thing, terrorism isn't going away if GWB isn't elected. Even if we assume that Gore's administration stops or at least blunts the 9/11 attack, then AQ would still be around. If the attack is blunted we'll still see a big response and US troops in Afghanistan. I'm in the camp that...

  17. Early Chinese plantation of Coffee (Ming Dynasty)

    I doubt it would be much more than just an export between them and China. I'm not sure how much tea was exported from China but neither Korea nor Japan can grow it so supply is bound to be limited. This has me wondering what adding a stimulant like coffee could do to the country as a whole...

  18. Sweden Joins World War I: Consequences?

    While Russia committing divisions to the border with Sweden or Finland may help Austria-Hungary not get totally curbstomped, would it really turn the tide very much? Britain and France are still plenty capable and Germany may still have to commit troops to saving A-H, perhaps not as many as OTL...

  19. Victoria II

    Sounds like broken mod is broken. :p

  20. Victoria II

    So it would seem. I forced the event via console and that helped a lot. Now if the Boxer rebels would stop showing up that'd be great. I must be on my 5th rebellion or so now. Kind of ridiculous that I end up kill 1-2 million of them but they keep coming back. :confused:
