  1. DBAC: Kill the Lunar Base Missions

    We've had a few too many positive "better space program" timelines recently, and I want to channel my inner Yippie just this once, so I decided to posit a challenge to you guys: what would kill off establishing the several bases we have on the moon? Bonus points if you also kill off the sky hook...

  2. DBWI: British Automobile Industry Collapses

    So on my way home, I had the joy of being behind a small convoy of tractor trailers. A bit annoying due to the lights, but it got me thinking when I noticed they mostly had the Leyland crests: what if the British car and truck industry went the way of several European countries' automotive...

  3. DBWI: English Colonizes Entire Eastern Seaboard

    I was just curious on what would've happened if the English were able to establish full control over the eastern seaboard. It should be possible too, considering that the English tended to generate large immigration waves back in the 17th century. I'm curious on how this would affect the coast...

  4. TLIAW/M: Arranging the Deck Chairs Upon this Sinking Ship

    Arranging the Deck Chairs Upon this Sinking Ship - Leaders of the Soviet Union from 1917 to Modern Times --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems you missed the boat for this trend. Dunno if that was a pun, but...

  5. DBAHC: Swapping Nixon and Kennedy

    President Richard Nixon is commonly seen as one of our good presidents, who presided from 1960 to 1968. His policies on civil rights, opening trade relations with China after the Sino-Soviet Split, and his founding of the EPA are seen as quite good legacies. Though his presiding over the Vietnam...

  6. DBAHC: Swap Italian and German Competence and Luck

    The two dictators can't be any more different in terms of legacy. Though extremely bombastic and lacking a good deal of the advantages Germany had, Mussolini played his cards extremely well. He managed to overturn what a lot of nationalists thought of as la vittoria mutilata, revitalized and...

  7. DBAHC: Prussia Unifies Germany

    So this is kind of a long shot, not as much as say Anhalt or Mecklenburg doing this, but I'm really curious on how the Duchy of Prussia could've unified Germany. I'm mainly curious since the duchy is more remembered as "That damnable patch of land" which fed the great Polish-German feuds...

  8. DBWI: Rhénanie becomes German

    I was thinking about some interesting what ifs, and a particularly striking one came to mind. Now the Rhin River is the main northeastern border for France, but the stretch of land from that river to all the way down to the border of Picardy has swapped hands regularly before it went into...

  9. DBWI Atenism Doesn't Form

    Now Atenism is the world's oldest Monotheistic religion, and besides Tengriism and Hinduism is the largest denomination in the world. It was the first mass appealing religions to ever come about, and probably the most important one to form in the west. It was likely the source of other such...

  10. DBWI: Lenin not Assassinated

    So we all know that the revolutionary and leader of the Bolshevik movement Vladimir Lenin, kicked the bucket in 1918 when Fanny Kaplan managed to plug him in the head with her pistol while he spoke at Petrograd. What would him surviving this attempt lead to? How would this affect the Civil War?

  11. DBWI: Armenia Shrinks

    As we all know, the Kingdom of Armenia a relatively important power player in the region, extending from Rhandeia to Badkub. But that might not have always been the case. While Armenia historically was a powerful regional nation quite a few times in history, it has often been direct vassals or...

  12. Dies Irae: List of Religious Leaders Mk III

    Right then, so back when the world was young, I made a thread based on threads like this one. I then brought back this idea out of a big binge of CK2. Welp, guess what happened again now that Horse Lords came out? Now, the way that this works is almost dead up the same to the other lists, right...

  13. DBWI: Operation Market Garden Fails

    I just finished rereading the specifics of the operation, mainly due to it being a weakpoint of mine for WWII. Blame my interest in the Pacific Front for that:o. Anyway, I'm honestly quite shocked that Montgomery's Gamble was so successful. I mean, it placed a lot of optimism on capturing...

  14. List of Religious Heads (mk. II)

    Millions of years ago, I created a thread that was inspired by the list of monarchs. Well, after a flight of interest caused by me playing a ton of CK2, I decided to resurrect that concept. Now, the way that this works is pretty similar to the other lists. Each poster gets one entry per list...

  15. Military Capacity of Both Sides of the Spanish Civil War/PODs during said war?

    I'm rather curious on what the military capacity of the Nationalists and Republicans was during the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. Much of this curiosity has to do with the fact that I referenced the Frente Popular at one point in my little election game when I revealed the winner of the...

  16. Runic Scripts and Other Writing Systems

    So I decided to get back into this little mini-project of mine, rune making. I've been developing this rune system for a while now, although admittedly it's only been in bursts. After some tweaking, I've just reached Mark III. If anyone else has their own script or writing system that they...

  17. Explain the Screenshot

    Considering the inspiration for this thread (ie the idea that I stole) has been dead for a while, I decided to make a new one. The rules for this are pretty simple, someone posts a screenshot for any game that deals with history, and the others explain it. There has to be at least one...

  18. DBWI: Americans Won at Midway?

    I know that this has been done quite a few times, but I've always been curious on the what the outcome would be if the results were more reversed. Personally I'd think that the Pacific Theater might have been wrapped up a good deal sooner because the USN wouldn't have had to play more...

  19. Explain These Screenshots: Europa Universalis Edition

    Following Stratego's Risk's thread with Heart of Iron, I decided that the EU series deserves a bit of love. Feel free to post screenshots from any of the games. Then the next posters will attempt to explain what would cause this to happen. It's recommended that there be at least one explanation...

  20. Vladimir Ilyin (Lenin) Found Dead: As Told in Newspaper Headlines

    (OOC: I decided to steal an idea and put it in a new situation. Feel free to join in, but if multiple people disagree with what you put, then it's retconned.) Münchener Post, August 15th, 1901 Iskra Editor Found Dead Vladimir Ilyin, the manager for the recently established paper Iskra was...
