  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Is there any sort of religous split in the Indian Army formations or are Muslims and Hindus going to be fighting side-by-side ? If that latter, it could go a long way towards encouraging a united, non-partitioned India after the war. Cheers, Nigel.

  2. Tail-Gunner in the Pilot's Seat 2.0

    [/FONT] Let's see, Luis was born in 1945 so his 17 birthday would be 1962 ... [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][COLOR=black] In 1954, he would be nine years old - definitely an early developer :D. Cheers, Nigel.

  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The death of millions is a statistic - the death of my favourite TV Show is a disaster :D. Cheers, Nigel.

  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I'm afraid that I have to disagree with your last point. A major influence on Monty Python was the 1950's radio series, the Goon Show. I can't see such an anarchistic programme being made in the 1950s ITTL. In any case, the main cast and many other people involved in the show served in the...

  5. question: could there have been a civil war without slavery?

    One way to answer the question would be to look at civil wars in other countries and see if there is something similar to the American Civil War but didn't involve slavery. An interesting candidate would be the Swiss Sonderbund War (1847). There you have the liberals taking power in the...

  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    In other words, something like the Siege of Breslau, which in OTL was still going on when Berlin fell. Cheers, Nigel.

  7. So HOW disasterous would Sealion be?

    Dad's Army Another side effect is that the initial defence of the UK is likely to be handled in part by the Home Guard, with some members being killed in action. That is going to lead to the Home Guard being more respected than in OTL. In such a timeline, I would expect a couple of...

  8. So HOW disasterous would Sealion be?

    In OTL, Stalin ignored British warnings about the likelyhood of Germany invading the USSR - they were dismissed as a trick to get the Soviets to attack Germany and relieve some of the pressure on the UK. After a failed Sealion, Britain will be secure from invasion and so it's warnings will be...

  9. "Fight and be Right"

    It's always good to see some things remain constant across timelines. After all, from the description, no-one is actually buried on the Belgrano. Cheers, Nigel.

  10. So HOW disasterous would Sealion be?

    You might want to have a look at A Better Show in 1940 , which is a good description of how an attempted Sealion would turn out. Cheers, Nigel.

  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I agree with you about the 3rd world influence, but I think that the USSR will try to regain some of its territory. There's going to be a tipping point - as Germany pulls more and more of its forces westwards to deal with the Anglo/Americans at some point the remaining forces in the east are...

  12. Protect and Survive: A Timeline

    Mind you, it might not be a naval vessel. Oil tankers, for example, can remain at sea for 2 - 3 months. And the British Merchant Ensign is mostly Red. Cheers, Nigel.

  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    While we're on the subject, did Reinhard Heydrich get assasinated ITTL ? if he's still around, he'd probably be in a very senior position by now. I'd see him playing a key roll in the replacement of the Heer by the Waffen SS. Cheers, Nigel.

  14. "Fight and be Right"

    Maybe an ATL version of Churchill's The Dream, with Winston having to explain 20th Century History to the ghost of his father ... Cheers, Nigel.

  15. Protect and Survive: A Timeline

    Mind you, if they were going for the capitalist bankers, they should have targetted Zuerich. They've also left the Bank for International Settlements standing in Basel. That must be practically the only International Institution still standing, since Geneva, Washington and New York have been...

  16. Protect and Survive: A Timeline

    Well German speakers are a majority anyway. If the Swiss are incorporating German territory, then they'll likely also acquire some French territory as well. If Strasbourg has survived, it could become a Swiss city. Cheers, Nigel.

  17. AHC: let the vikings become more successful than they were already

    By 12 August 1066, William's preparations for the invasion of England were complete. His army and ships were gathered at Dives waiting for a favourable wind. Harold had also gathered his forces on the south coast of England waiting for the invasion. In OTL, William set sail on 12 September...

  18. "Fight and be Right"

    Well, horror and comedy are related - consider how many people laugh at horror films. Part of the reason for Dr Who's success is that it mixes horror with humour, for example. In the case of A Shadow over Easby, I suspect that the original novel was a subtle mix of horror and humour while the...

  19. Alternate histories of TV shows

    Or he has a nasty accident while performing a stunt on a motorbike and gets eaten by a shark. Cheers, Nigel.

  20. Alternate histories of TV shows

    Rob Grant and Doug Naylor have more control over the making of the US pilot of Red Dwarf and manage to persuade Chris Barrie to reprise his roll of Rimmer. They recognise that there is no point just refilming the British series - they need to do something different. One way of doing this is...
