  5. Down the Marble Stairs

    September 7, 1939 – Moscow, The Kremlin Vyacheslav hurried up the steep stone stairs. Not for the first time Molotov wished the boss didn’t favor such late meetings. He had already endured a long afternoon with Stalin and a rather boisterous dinner. Now he was summoned back...

  6. Ideas about Jutland

    I was kicking around some ideas with friends about how to have Germany win Jutland or rather Jutland II. Assuming that Jutland plays out as it did in our TL we tried to get some new ideas about Germany winning. One idea we kicked around was Germany spends a year or so building up torpedo...

  7. Funeral Games

    September 1, 1939 – Moscow, Office of Josef Stalin His leg ached and was so stiff he could hardly move it below the knee. That coupled with the hangover from the drinking the night before made Stalin even more irritable than usual. It was his custom to arrive for...

  8. ACW Twist

    I saw a posting for another English intervention in the civil war and noted how quick it was shot down as having been done to death. But I was wondering has anyone done a TL or thought about if the English intervened for the North. I would require a lot of changes leading up to the war, or one...

    November 10, 1940 Von Schulenburg carefully pressed his tie against his ironed shirt, as he waited in the marble hall.

  11. Let My People Go

    Although the bulk of the varation from our TL is some way past the year 1900 I needed a POD far enough back to start the change. - excerpt from Leaders of the Lost Cause, Alfred Kopf Press, published 1956 When Benjamin took shelter at Gambling Plantation he certainly contemplated...

  12. Trading a Queens

    The Germans iprior to WWI put a lot of resources into the Fleet and in the war had very little real return. In 1918 they essentially surrendered (but scuttled) this investment. But what if the Kaiser was willing to risk the fleet to stop the BEF in 1914? If the High Sea Fleet sorties into or...

  13. Old Novel

    I am trying to remember the title of a AH novel. As I recall it was divided into 3 parts. In one "Jermany" wins the first world war and a German communist agent goes to America to promote a 'communist' agenda as a secret agent. It seemed to me a vaguely 'John Birch' type novel with liberalism...

  14. The USA after CSA victory

    Assuming the CSA can win some sort of victory in the ACW I have always wondered more about the civilian side of each government and people. I wonder without the South if the USA would drift significantly to the left politically. Certainly in the 1920s-30s the more industrial north would have a...
