    Eric Harry's Arc Light--20 years later

    I am re-reading Eric Harry's book Arc Light again after 15 years (the book came out in 1994). It's the best military thriller I have ever read. I'll post spoilers for the whole book, so don't read this thread if you want to read the book fresh, but in short, the summary of the book is: It...

    The REZ: A Native American economic powerhouse

    Wondering if one or more of these would be feasible by 1921 (for at least one tribe).

    The REZ: A Native American economic powerhouse

    That's an interesting idea, too. My scenario focuses on the early 1920's, since I had envisioned it as sort of a sustained economic effort, but a scenario looking at the effects of an actual NA-centric state has a lot of story potential. What would be the land area of such a state? Just...

    The REZ: A Native American economic powerhouse

    I was driving through some reservations the other day and got to thinking about them a little. Does anyone think it could have been possible for a reservation, or a tribe in general, to have become an economic powerhouse? Or at least a model? There are serious roadblocks to this, of course, as...

    John Birmingham's Axis of Time has been optioned

    For those who don't know, Axis of Time is about an American carrier battle group from 2021 that gets thrown back in time to the middle of World War II. It's like that movie The Final Countdown, but much better. It doesn't just go into the military effects, but the social effects. Anyway, go read...

    The Invasion of Tosev III

    Oh nice! It's always fun to see new pictures from Worldwar. It never really got the critical mass of popularity needed where more numerous artistic depictions were made.

    Migrating for unusual political reasons?

    lol. I mean, I have to admit, the idea of a Christian technocracy is interesting. Who says Christians have to be luddites?? Might make for an interesting story.

    Migrating for unusual political reasons?

    Yeah, the first two scenarios are very unlikely in my opinion....they were more flights of fancy. Another example I can think of is Iran, which oddly allows both the practice of temporary marriage and legally recognizes trans people as the gender they identify with. You wouldn't expect it in a...

    Migrating for unusual political reasons?

    Every American knows the story of the Pilgrims, right? They came to America so they could practice their religion the way they wanted to. I was just thinking recently about situations where people might migrate for very unusual, or even really wacky, reasons. This could also refer to future...

    Which were your favourite episodes of Sliders?

    Haha, that's pretty cool that they made their own in-universe music video with an original song!

    Which were your favourite episodes of Sliders?

    I haven't seen Sliders in a long time (it's really due for a reboot *cough* c'mon Netflix *cough*) but I think the episode that stood out most to me was Double Cross. I'm not surprised that it's on the list. It was just a fun and interesting episode--an alternate, woman version of Quinn; the...

    WW3 1962 - Recovery Time?

    Interesting analysis. I like this thread--I had a similar question on another thread about it.

    Twilight of the Red Tsar

    Good update! Question--what is the status of nuclear weapons in the civil war? Does only the USSR portion control them? And how many? I may have missed that. If the USSR side is the only faction that controls them, this obviously leads to the suggestion that they will use them to their full...

    Horse Master: The Game of Horse Mastery

    I think I may have posted a thread about this a long time ago, but it's been a while. Here is the link to the game. Here is a playthrough of the game if you would prefer to watch that. It's about an hour. This game has recently been on my mind and I wanted to share it. It's a relatively...

    Voices of Doomsday

    Quick question, do we have a good idea of what the GDP and population of ATL US are in 2017, compared to OTL? I feel like even though a nuclear war in 1962 would be a catastrophe, the US would still be in pretty good shape (all things considered). I would have to look into it more to get a...

    Twilight of the Red Tsar

    The situation in this timeline and in real-life cases like Perfidious Albion mentions demonstrates a very unfortunate moral dilemma. Imagine you're a country like Estonia. Many of your people have been deported, and outsiders from an occupying nation have been moved in to the point where you...

    Could the Jin and/or Song have defeated the Mongols?

    Thank you for that response. I have enough knowledge of the situation to understand the general thrust of the campaigns (and the fact that, like you mentioned, the Song were a really tough nut to crack), but I am unfamiliar with the other stuff that was going on under the hood like you said.
