  1. What would have happened to the High Seas Fleet if it had not been scuttled in 1919?

    The admiral in charge only ordered the scuttle because he thought Versailles meant that his ships would be parceled out to the Entente. Was he right? Who do you think would get what ship, if so? Would the Entente have allowed the Germans to retain some modern capital ships if they had been...

  2. Vatutin's USSR

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Fyodorovich_Vatutin Vatutin: the perfect combination of loyal party member and aggressive, talented commander. Here's a TL in very broad strokes: 1944/45 - Vatutin survives an attack by Ukrainian nationalists, and retains command of the 1st Ukrainian...

  3. No English Restoration

    This is something I've never seen discussed before, and I'm fascinated by it, yet it is not my area of expertise. How could we delay the end of the Commonwealth/Protectorate? What do you think the result would be?

  4. Hitler loses the war in 1942

    As much as I enjoy a good Naziwank (sarcasm!), I think maybe we should try something less staid. So: input requested. Here's some stuff to consider. 1) Poland, Denmark, Norway fall as OTL 2) Original, non-Manstein plans for the invasion of France kept and adhered to. France manages to halt the...

  5. Joséphine not infertile

    Let's say she becomes pregnant the night of their marriage (har har) - March 9, 1796, with the future Napoleon II.

  6. The Repairer of Reputations (The King in Yellow)

    This is an excerpt from the first story in the collection entitled "The King in Yellow". I won't attempt to describe and will leave it to itself. You can find the whole book here: The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers (1895)

  7. Alexander II not assassinated

    To refresh your memory, he was a fairly liberal Tsar who came into power towards the end of the Crimean War. He made many strides and reforms, but was cut short by a bomb. It seems pretty clear that if he had survived, there would have been some sort of representative body in the government...

  8. David Beatty lives to age 80

    Well? I think he'll have a strong effect on the navy, assuming he doesn't retire too early. I believe he has strong potential as a political figure as well. PM David Beatty?

  9. Gustav Stresemann Lives Another Decade

    Died in 1929 at age 51. I'm quoting here from his 1926 Nobel Peace Prize webpage: So, consequences? He seems to have been a very important and influential figure. A stronger, longer lasting Weimar? It is implied that he was still loyal to the monarchy.. thing we would have seen...

  10. President Tom Daschle

    I was just watching a Daily Show interview with this man (Former Democratic Senator and US Senate Majority Leader) and was astonished at how.. well, likeable he was. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and charismatic, but somehow not intimidating at all. Okay, history's verdict is that he was...

  11. Surviving Islamic State in Iberia, POD post-1400

    This a challenge. POD post-1400 where an Islamic state in Iberia survives in some form to the present day. I don't know enough about the time period to write up something credible, so I'm interested to know what is possible... :)

  12. Jack and Ellis: A Steampunk Fantasia

    A first try at alternate history (in the guise of steampunk) by one of my favorite authors. Kind of an ASB - what if witchcraft was in some ways real? In this universe some people are born Creationists - that is to say, they can Create certain things. Light cigarettes with flames from their...

  13. Same flag flies over Moscow, Calcutta and Istanbul

    AKA the "Russian Dream Scenario". But I'd like to see if this can be worked out with any nation, any POD post-1900. I can't think of any way to do it.

  14. Peace in our time!

    How could Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister have influenced events differently so as to prevent WWII in Europe (at least in his lifetime)? Perhaps if the Baldwin gov't had ordered German troops out of the Rhineland in 1936, Britain's government would have had the gumption to stand up to...

  15. McCain v Bush, 2000

    What if John McCain succeeds in getting the Republican nomination in 2000? We can assume that McCain will beat Gore, I think.

  16. Ottoman Battleship

    Something random to stimulate the imagination as I test out a new beta version of SpringSharp. This started as an effort to sim a projected Ottoman design that was never laid down - called 698, I believe (I've lost the source) - and has sort of evolved from there. Uses Navalism Ottoman calibres...

  17. Austria Pre-WWII

    I'm sure this has been considered before, but.. a) What could Austria have done to prevent Anschluss? More reasonably, what events good have turned Austrian public opinion AGAINST Anschluss and led the government to resist? b) Was there any kind of Austrian pro-monarchy movement, seeking...

  18. Grant Saves Lincoln

    John Wilkes Booth read in the newspaper that Mr. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant would be accompanying the Lincolns to Ford's Theatre. However, the general and his wife backed out at the last minute, and Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris joined the President instead. What if Grant and his wife had...

  19. Saddam in Tehran

    How can Saddam win (or at least come out better from) the Iran-Iraq War?

  20. AH Navy ship drawings and designs

    I run the Armada de Filipinas, the Filipino Navy, over at the Shared Worlds-esque game WesWorld (see link in signature). The ships are designed using the program SpringSharp, and I draw some of them myself. Here are a few, scale 1 pixel = 1 foot. Coastal Cruiser: Durnaran Durnaran, Culion...
