  1. Can Krakow Survive?

    I have always been interested in mini-nations (for lack of a better word) that existed and whether they could have survived. One that has always interested me is the Free City of Krakow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_City_of_Krak%C3%B3w A token 'independent' Poland post-1815 as it were...

  2. Pikes in the ACW

    many years ago I came across a rather strange idea. In 1862 the CSA decided that each infantry regiment should contain a number of pike-armed men. This perhaps somewhat mad plan was supported by Lee himself. It seems pikes were produced but never issued. Given the rather 'modern' nature...

  3. West Indies Federation-Could it survive

    Caused by a thread in Chat about the 69 Rebellion. From 1958 to 1962, a federation of British West Indies colonies existed. Known as the West Indies Federation, it was hoped that by existing as one, these mostly smaller colonies would be able to adjust better to independence than other...

  4. A Helicopter Fighter?

    Inspired by a thread from June about an AK47-jet. Would it be viable to design and build a helicopter that was capable of some limited air defence role? I'm not thinking of something that is designed to take on F-16s in air combat but more of a design that could... a) be used for defence...

  5. A Dieppe-style Sealion

    Ok, Sealion as a full scale invasion is a no-go. We all know that is a basic law of AH.com. However, would a raid on southern England be a possibly, similar to the Dieppe Raid? Could we imagine at a stage in 1940, perhaps not long after Dunkirk, where Hitler and/or the German High Command...

  6. Doomsday:Trying to piece together what its about

    Seen a few trailers and read a few snippets of the plot in an attempt to work out if its worth seeing. So far, it feels like a post-pub lads DVD rather than going to the movies affair. As far as I can make out, some sort of deadly virus ravages Scotland so to contain it the British...

  7. 300 Spoof?

    I was half-watching the breakfast news this morning, when they had some entertainment programme on and I could have sworn they said the no1 box office film at the moment was a 300 spoof-maybe called "Meet the Spartans". Is this true? Or was my sleep-muddled brain making things up:confused:

  8. 1668: Capital of England moves to Oxford

    Having visited the Museum of London's recent exhibition on the 1666 Great Fire of London, I was surprised to learn that the English government gave serious consideration to moving the capital to Oxford as they were concerned over the length of time it was going to take to rebuild London. This...

  9. A British Empire-CSA war

    partly inspired by the current CSA expansion thread; has anyone ever done a thread where an independent CSA ends up fighting the British Empire? I mean a straight Empire-CSA war, seperate to the ACW. I did a search but couldn't find anything. I was thinking something along the lines of the...

  10. A more modern FAA 1939

    The Fleet Air Arm was in a poor way at the outbreak of WW2. It's aircraft were not up to modern warfare and to make it worse its most 'modern' fighter, the Sea Gladiator, wasn't even onboard carriers and never would see service as a carrier-based aircraft. What sort of changes would it...

  11. BSG: should I carry on watching or giveup?

    SPOILER INCLUDED IN QUESTION Ok, last night saw the BSG episode Bulldog escapes from the baseship and we find out how Adama might have caused the war. I'm starting to find this new run od stories a bit tiresome and increasingly full of characters wallowing in...

  12. Norse Victory at Battle of Largs

    The Battle of Largs on 2nd October 1263 resulted in the end of Norse control of Argyll and the Isles and them finally coming under the rule, however weakly, of the Kings of Scotland. It is also considered by some to be the final 'Viking' attack in Britain...

  13. Dr Who is in danger of really annoying me

    SPOLIERS SPOLIERS SPOILERS Ok, now I've given the warnings.... .....seen the trailers for next week's episode... the doctor taken prisoner???? by Torchwood????? If it turns out Torchwood is part of UNIT I will be very very...

  14. Is it time for the Doctor to link up with UNIT again?

    I know we've had two stories with UNIT in them but I'd really like to see one with them properly involved and working with the Doctor, maybe because an old enemy has reappeared. Suspect I'll have to wait for the 3rd series at least :(

  15. What if monotheism....

    .....sorry VoCSe, just couldnt resist it :D

  16. What if Guinness was Welsh?

    When he first thought about brewing, Arthur Guinness looked at a site in Wales for his brewery (near Cardiff I think) but in the end he opted for Dublin. Lets say he went for the Welsh option, what would we see today-would we see a recognisable Guinness as the Welsh national drink?

  17. The CSA doesn't win, it just doesn't loose

    An idea I've been wondering about for a bit. We've done the whole CSA wins and survives somehow but I was thinking if it would be possible for the CSA simply not to 'loose'. By that I mean, would it have been possible for it to fight a defensive war until such a time that the Union simply got...

  18. The German-Polish alliance of 1939

    Some yars back (possibly before some board members were even born) I read an article in a war gaming magazine dealing with alternative history through play-by-mail games and this one dealt with a WW2 game. It had a very different 1939 which involved a German-Polish alliance. The general gist...

  19. No Dilbert!

    One of my escapes from the horrors of the working world is Dilbert. It helps me put up with the silliness of the modern office and is a way of fighting back againts corporate bosses. But what if we had no Dilbert cartoons?

  20. Is there another War of the Worlds film due out?

    Ok Folks Need some help here. About a year back I'm sure I came across details of a version of 'War of the Worlds' being filmed that was true to the book-showing an invaison of Southern England by the Maritans in the 1890s. I'm positive I even saw a couple of stills, one of people fleeing a...
