  1. Coaching changes of the 20th and 21st Century

    Imagine if the coach of your favorite team was instead at another professional or college team? Which coach would you have liked to have seen coaching your favorite team? How would you have the coach of your team's biggest rival if they had been your team's coach? I'd like to hear anyone's...

  2. Montgomery incapacitated in August 1944

    There's been a lot of opinions about Bernard Montgomery during WWII. While many believe he may have been a success general, he was also arrogant, unlikeable and completely lacking in tact and diplomacy. He was essentially everything the Americans hated and was even disliked, if not hated, by his...

  3. Ultimate Fighting Championship launched in 1980s

    Imagine that Ultimate Fighting Championship, and Mixed Martial Arts in general, came about approximately 10 years earlier. For the sake of argument, it's presented as a hybrid style of combat sports and not what were essentially televised street fights like the early UFC days were. Participants...

  4. Tsar Mikhail II instead of Nicholas II

    I'm currently reading Anthony Beevor's book Russia: Revolution and Civil War 1917-1921, and it mentions the admiration for Grand Duke Mikhail from many politicians and lawyers when he refused to take the crown. It stated that although he may not have been any more intelligent than Nicholas, he...

  5. No Unspeakable Sea Mammal, but RAFairfield attacks continue

    We all know that Hitler ordering the Lufwaffe to begin attacking British cities instead of RAF airfields is considered to be the turning point in the Battle of Britain because it gave the RAF time to catch it's breath and train replacement pilots, but what if Hitler decides to continue the...

  6. Hitler survives WWI, but is rendered mute

    I'm not sure if this has been covered in previous threads, but I had this thought. We've all seen the threads where Hitler gets killed in World War I, but let's say that one day, his unit is under attack and either debris from an exploding artillery shell, a bullet from a machine gun or rifle...

  7. Edward VIII dies in 1930

    Given his lifestyle and political leanings, there were some people in the British Royal household as well as the government who secretly thought that it would be better for the nation if the Prince of Wales, (David to his family) were to suffer a fatal accident. Let's say it did happen. The...

  8. WI: With no Civil War, Does America fight a different opponent?

    I was wondering if (for whatever reason) the Civil War is avoided, does the United States get involved in a war against a different opponent during that same time period, the 1860's to maybe the 1880's? I don't include the wars against the Native American tribes of the Plains because that...

  9. AHC: Create Your ACW Dream Team

    This challenge is to create your American Civil War Army Dream Team. You can use officers from both Union and Confederate forces from any theater. The main sticking points are that for every level below Army you follow the Rule of Three at least until the Division level, and that you only focus...

  10. Could the Eastern Front become the Nazis' "Vietnam"?

    How possible was it for the Eastern Front of WWII to become a Vietnam-style War for Nazi Germany? Where they make initial gains at first but then the Soviet Union goes full-on guerrilla warfare and the German forces are unable to really deliver a knockout blow so to speak? Would the vastness of...

  11. Poll: Which has greater impact on German Empire?

    Which of the following would have a greater impact on the German Empire? Frederick III having a longer reign (he assumes the throne sooner in his life, never gets throat cancer, etc.) or Wilhelm II being born physically healthy and avoiding the warped emotional development he suffered in life.

  12. Like Father Like Son: Alexei emulates Peter the Great

    Alexei Petrovich, heir to Tsar Peter the Great, was essentially everything his father wasn't. Lazy, bookish, disinclined to anything military and raised by his mother and reactionary boyars to be against everything his father liked. However, what if instead of growing up hating/fearing his...

  13. Poll: How much longer can WWII go before American public starts calling for peace?

    Like the title says, how many more extra years can World War II go for before American citizens start wanting to negotiate peace? Typically when a democratic nation is involved in a war, the military needs to show results with a few years before goodwill starts to wear out. Even with visual...

  14. Which song would be America's national anthem if Star-Spangled Banner is never written?

    Imagine if "The Star-Spangled Banner" was never written. Your choice for why, War of 1812 never occurs, Francis Scott Key not at Baltimore during siege of Fort McHenry or never born altogether. Which song would be the most likely one to be named the national anthem for the United States? "Hail...

  15. Which Nazi or Soviet invention would have been most useful to the Western Allies?

    Like the title says, which technological or weapon invention made by either the Nazis or the Soviets would have been more useful to the Western Allies (i.e. US, UK and Commonwealth nations) if they'd gotten access to them and been able to design their own version. The latest point in the war...

  16. Hitler deported back to Austria

    I was watching this documentary on the life of Hitler and this point was raised. When Hitler volunteered to serve in the 16th Bavarian Infantry Reserve Regiment, he should have been deported back to Austria because he wasn't a German citizen at the time (he didn't get his German citizenship...

  17. What was the best option for the Western Allies in Europe in 1943?

    Just as the title says, which option could the Wallies have taken that was the best available

  18. Poll: What was the best option for the Western Allies for Europe in 1943?

    Ignore this, forgot to attach the poll

  19. Which Communist Leader's Early Death has a greater impact on the World

    Like the title says, which communist leader's early death would have a greater impact on the world? By that I mean in their own country and globally, including events leading up to today.

  20. Wernhner von Braun goes to America before WWII

    Let's say for whatever reason, von Braun leaves Germany prior to WWII and goes to America. You can use your own imagination for his reasons for leaving: offered better opportunities then he was getting in Germany, felt that the Nazis weren't interested enough in his work (not that big a stretch...
