  1. WI: Harrison Ford Becomes a Carpenter

    I read this as 'Harrison Ford becomes a computer'. That'd be an interesting variation for Blade Runner.

  2. Japan wins the Battle of Leyte Gulf, then what?

    Funny you should mention it! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDMXkPfxjOc

  3. Australian "Red Dawn"

    It starts off like an episode of Home and Away as the characters assemble (I think most of them actually are soap actors and actresses). I felt weighted with dread as the pretty but level-headed one met the rebel, the BFF, the blonde rich thicko, the jock, the token ethnic minority and so on...

  4. Australian "Red Dawn"

    I saw this last year when it was released in Britain. I loved it! Much more so than Red Dawn. But it was sadly and I suppose understandably light on military detail. Good news is, it looks like the sequels are being filmed too. As to what the US would do... Well, the US has been focussing...

  5. Red Dawn remake finally coming out?

    Well no, but it'd be nice if they at least tried. We're paying for their second Ferrari, after all.

  6. Red Dawn remake finally coming out?

    I was hoping we'd at least get an Asylum mockbuster version. 'Red Morning' anyone?

  7. Red Dawn remake finally coming out?

    Wow; comparisons with Battle:LA? it really does sound like a complete pile of shit.

  8. Axis of Time: Speculation on Home Front and Postwar Issues

    Yes, very strange. Churchill was one of her only supporters, where OTL, he was extremely dismissive of the Indian Army and its achievements. Where was Slim in this series? Or India at all? :rolleyes:

  9. Axis of Time: Speculation on Home Front and Postwar Issues

    It's mentioned that the US has a plan to avoid many of its post-war mistakes - flooding Vietnam with consumer goods and keeping Uncle Ho on-side, etc, but it's not mentioned if Britain or France or indeed any of the other countries will. Very little is known of how past Britain views it's...

  10. How plausible is Turtledove's "The War that Came Early?"

    Not amazingly plausible; as with most HT works, there's an annoying degree of parallelism, before, in book 3, a major strategic decision taken by the allies which is a combination of *wall-banger*, *ASB*, *ass-pull* and ridiculous straw-manning.

  11. No British inventions.

    Think of the internet as the hardware and the WWW as the operating system. In other words... Who wants to be Viceroy of the new British Colony of Internetia? ;)

  12. What inventions are directly tied to the Second World War?

    Luckily there's an AH book of it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Difference_Engine

  13. "What if Scotland did go it alone?" in the Daily Mail

    What would the rest of breakaway Scotland's non-EU foreign relations look like? Would they get exempted from the UK-US 'special relationship'?

  14. David Cameron captured by Taliban after chopper shot down ?

    Everyone shrugs and goes about getting a new PM. No need to rush.

  15. Jet powered biplanes ?

    Jet-biplane flying-wing UAVs anyone? (Fictional but great concepts :o. Ignore all the fanfiction-level technobabble on this site; the concepts are still sound) http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/XR-900_Geopelia Aerolastic control surfaces. http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/X-49_Night_Raven...

  16. best world war two submachine gun

    Extremely yes. A real shame we couldn't have had them propagate around the Commonwealth in place of a few of the plumber's abortions of which I currently cradling in my lap and stroking disturbingly. Meh, it's late.

  17. Effects of a Failed Operation Sealion in British Popular Culture

    Ah yes. Thora Hird with an axe! Dastardly Germans unmasked by their use of a 7 with a line through it (which is how I write 7s :s )! And the Lady of the Manor taking a grenade for the kids :(. Spoiler: Oddly enough, the Home Guard don't last five seconds.

  18. Effects of a Failed Operation Sealion in British Popular Culture

    After the war, there was a bizarre public-relations battle between the 'forces, which in the ensuing rounds of defence-spending cuts, never went away. The RAF was probably the only force that emerged from the war with an intact reputation, marketing itself on the Battle of Britain. The Army got...

  19. Argentine F-4 Phantom

    That'd mean the Argentine air force completely changing their mission profiles, and trying to draw the Sea Harriers out in a war of attrition, as the British wanted to do to the Argentines OTL, as opposed to concentrating on anti-shipping after the first couple of engagements.

  20. Argentine F-4 Phantom

    The Sea Harriers routinely bested F15s and F16s in exercises, and Mirages in actual combat, and the Argentine air force soon decided their best option wasn't to fight it out with them. As the Argentine F4s are operating under the same restrictions, I don't see what really changes here except the...
