  1. AHC: Allegiance Changes in WW1

    This challenge is essentially what it says in the title; how could there be an 'allegiance' change during the course of WW1? To my knowledge, during the Great War no governments on either side of conflict had decided to switch their allegiance to the enemy's alliance after having already joined...

  2. WI: No Buchanan nomination in 55

    Are there no more popular generals that the Democrats can throw into the ring?

  3. a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

    It's a bit of a shame (story wise that is) that Italy couldn't keep its colonies. Nevertheless, it'll be interesting to see how it's been getting along with Germany constantly on its back. A question though; will you be brushing over what's been going on in Greece during this time (had it...

  4. AHC: Israeli-American War

    Wasn't Israel remarkably 'left-wing' during its early years? If you could find the right POD, you might be able to have Israel move over into the Soviet sphere. Eventually, a proxy war may begin with the Arab states (supported by the US in TTL) going up against the Soviet-backed Israel, with a...

  5. Declawed: A Modern History of Australian Football

    Really? The only footballer I've ever seen up close was Brent Harvey, and seeing his face that close up made me want to punch it more than all the times I've seen him play :D It's almost like people outside of Australia have practically no clue what the AFL is...go figure :rolleyes:

  6. Declawed: A Modern History of Australian Football

    How have you not been torn limb-from-limb by now ?!? :D

  7. Declawed: A Modern History of Australian Football

    Melbourne - September 20, 2006 Graham Smorgon was in trouble; 2006, his first year as President of Carlton Blues had gone down in metaphorical flames with three games throughout the course of the season, no thanks to the then head coach Dennis Pagan who had led the club to two wooden spoons...

  8. Washington 'bans' political parties

    That's one of the drawbacks that I mentioned in the original post (in the US style of democracy, political 'associations' are almost guaranteed to rise eventually), which would probably lead to a sort of consensus down the track of "why do we need this prohibition of parties if it's clearly not...

  9. Washington 'bans' political parties

    As has been noted many times in the past, several of the founding fathers didn't have too many good words to say about political parties, the chief among these being George Washington himself who said that they "must be restrained in a popularly elected government because of their tendency to...

  10. Declawed: A Modern History of Australian Football

    Melbourne - September 3, 2006 Mark Thompson threw his hands in the air as the final siren rang out around the Telstra Dome, the low pitched blaring of the horn emanating throughout the ground signalling an end to Geelong's season. Taking to his feet from the coaching bench, he looked out into...

  11. Flag Thread IV

    God I'm a fucking idiot...anyway, after putting the Star onto the flag in inkscape, I still feel that it looks much better without it (in my own opinion).

  12. Flag Thread IV

    Frankly, the change to the southern cross was part of my own personal distaste for the current seven-pointed stars; I felt that the five-pointed stars are much better looking. The Maltese cross essentially represents Australia and the defence force because this variant of the cross was used...

  13. Flag Thread IV

    Interesting, though it lacks a lot of colour and looks pretty similar to the Eureka Flag. In any case, here's another Australian flag, this time authoritarian/fascist inspired:

  14. AHC: Close The Strait Of Gibraltar

    You mean like the 'Atlantropa Project', there excruciatingly difficult (if not, nigh impossible) plan to set up a dam to harness the hydroelectric power of the Strait Of Gibraltar. IMO, I find this plan ridiculously ludicrous and very, VERY difficult to pull off, but if you want a wall across...

  15. Mincemeat not swallowed?

    In that case, how long would it be put off for; long enough to make any noticeable changes to the war overall?

  16. Mincemeat not swallowed?

    So what would happen in this case; would the Allies call off the attacks? Postpone them? Move them around and actually invade somewhere like Greece?

  17. Mincemeat not swallowed?

    What would happen if in 1943, just prior to the Husky landings, Operation Mincemeat wasn't 'swallowed' by the Germans? Would this actually have had much of an impact on the landings at all (would the Allies, if they caught onto the fact that Germany didn't buy the deception, call off the...

  18. TLIAD - Advance Australia Where?

    I just realized; with the 2008 recession coming up fast, I wonder what TTL's Labor leaders do (or perhaps don't do) to 'help' the economy.

  19. TLIAD - Advance Australia Where?

    That's literally the last thing that I was expecting. You've got to be kidding me...

  20. TLIAD - Advance Australia Where?

    I got a feeling all things will be coming up Keating.
