  1. Would romance languages exist if Rome never fell?

    From this and your earlier posts, your knowledge in romance linguistics is great. I have to notice that in modern italian a fish is "un pesce", plural "pesci", "un pesco" is a peach tree and the plural is "peschi". A peach is "una pesca", plural "pesche" (femminine). Amico/Amica/Amici/Amiche...

  2. AHC: Terminals and mainframes instead of desktop PCs

    I think you need a radical technological POD that radically changes the price/performance curve of current computers. With micorprocessors cpus the curve is a high base logarithm: after the optimal price/performance point performance increases linearly and price exponentially...

  3. The Cuban Missile War Timeline

    Is the spiegel story independent of the "the bullettin one"? http://thebulletin.org/okinawa-missiles-october8826 It's chilling veritable but the same thebulletin.org (already a sided source) specifies it has only one source for this.

  4. What is your favorite Alternate History film

    I loved the idea of that series. Saddly it was played hurriedly and closed in even more hurry. I was uncertain if it was depicting a secret history in this or an alternate history when in one scene (when they throw the guy in space) all is revealed and turned inside out in a secret history...

  5. Er ist wieder da - Anyone saw the movie?

    Sorry, didn't see your thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=371361 For the movie I'd need to wait a subtitled version. They translated the book and it's on my Amazon wishlist too. Thanks

  6. Er ist wieder da - Anyone saw the movie?

    Or anyone read the book? And ... anywhere english subtitled trailers?

  7. Greatest British Foregin Policy Disasters

    The Suez Crisis marks the beginning of an era of heavy US involvement in the middle east that lasts to this day. Is it a win or a lose? :rolleyes:

  8. Greatest British Foregin Policy Disasters

    Labelling Appeasement a disaster needs some hindsight. With some foresight one could easily predict the Suez Crisis disaster.

  9. DBWI: Italy goes republican in 1946?

    Is there a chance that a Republican Italy actually fared better than the Italian Kingdom? Sure the kingdom gave stability in the post-war but most of the bureaucracy was filled with the same IMHO incompetent lackeys. OTL that has been changed with the 1990s corruption scandals including the...

  10. PDS: Stellaris Q1 2016?

    I allways bought Paradox titles from Gamers Gate. My last was CK2 republic. An intersting review: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/08/06/stellaris-paradox-strategy-game/

  11. PDS: Stellaris Q1 2016?

    I'm looking forward to it! Paradox has allways put a new spin on strategic games (e.g. role playing in CK, complex economic and sociology in Victoria, logistics and manuvering in HOI, etc...), albeit, making them more complicated for the casual gamers. Sadly they went from a DRM free shop to...

  12. Rex Italiae: The Failure of the Risorgimento MKII

    nice updates

  13. Rex Italiae: The Failure of the Risorgimento MKII

    On the other hand, a dead Cavour would justify a great deal of Kingdom of Italy's incompetence. All for our amusement ;) I'm not sayin' killing him as ITTL but having him have many years of produtive life perduring his sickness and stuberness would be against the principle of minimal change...

  14. Rex Italiae: The Failure of the Risorgimento MKII

    One more thing: Cavour being alive or dead is f**king important. For one, the next competent statesman is Giolitti if not De Gasperi.

  15. Rex Italiae: The Failure of the Risorgimento MKII

    Does it report to deaths due to actual fighting rather than sickness?

  16. Rex Italiae: The Failure of the Risorgimento MKII

    You're welcome, feel free to use any idea. And as I said it is a great idea, many PODs think what can happen do to change history course rather what it can't happen. "I haven't been saying the South has actually developed, more that they have been beginning to develop ITTL (maybe that isn't...

  17. Rex Italiae: The Failure of the Risorgimento MKII

    I must say yours is an excellent idea. I like particularly the connections with Mexico and Poland. It realy raises some pesky butterflies and off-balances OTL equilibrium. But IMHO it is developping definitively in a Wank and certain your statements "In OTL the South, at the time of...

  18. Best case scenario for Germany in North Africa?

  19. WI: German borderguards in November 1989 opens fire

    Maybe a certain KGB officer in Dresden may shoot the first bullet, and the second, third, fourth, ..., twelfth http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/6455858/Vladimir-Putin-saved-KGB-offices-from-East-German-looters.html...

  20. A New Form of Artillery

    More than 30 years actually, the Shuttle was designed to change orbit and landing strip because the military wanted it's use as reconaissance and still relied on film. Paradoxically just as the Shuttle was developped high resolution sensor and trasmission became available. I agree, German...
