  1. DIXIE GOES DOWN!

    Inserted without comment, as evidence that suggestive titles are part and parcel of the genre.

  2. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    I’ve been contemplating a Hero Games/Star Champions setting called ALIEN WARS quite a bit recently and was thinking up names for some United Earth Army* divisions: given that this setting takes place in a 24th century where Mars has been colonised, you may be less than surprised that one or two...

  3. DIXIE GOES DOWN!

    I’m not sure what the plot of this movie ought to be, but this notion originally came to mind whilst contemplating the best way to make a beloved old chestnut of Alternate History entertaining so I suspect the reader will understand why my original notion was ‘Blaxploitation CASABLANCA with...

  4. DIXIE GOES DOWN!

    Some of you looking at the title of this thread may reflexively be hissing “That is a Pre-1900 Point of Divergence!” while others, less patient and open minded, may be screaming “NO MORE SOUTHERN VICTORY! Feed that author to the Sealions! I blame Winston Churchill!” I say “What if there were a...

  5. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I've been pondering the Second American Civil War quite recently and was struck by the thought that the various factions involved would almost certainly use the same rank insignia for the duration of this conflict - assuming that the Combined Syndicates deign to employ conventional military...

    Thank you most kindly for the compliment (It now occurs to me that on this planet there might be a running "This flag is a lie!" joke: probably something to the effect that tourists and new settlers keep fooling themselves into thinking the proportion of green on the flag must match the...

  7. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    I'm not suggesting that Canada could throw the United States out if the US really wanted in - I'm trying to point out that the Reconstruction Era in the South shows that even winning a war doesn't mean you're going to win the peace (Especially if you're planning to allow your old antagonists...

  8. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    These are very evocative and I compliment you on having produced them (Thank You very much for sharing them too!).

  9. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    This is rather good: my only suggestion would be to show him with an open collar and tie, rather than the more 'Old World' high collar. :)

  10. TL-191: Navy Blue and Gray - Naval Forces of the USA and CSA

    For some reason I keep getting the mental image of there being a major dust-up over the Windward Passage between second and third string fighters and fighter-bombers flying out of Cuba, CSA, and US bases in Haiti during the early days of the Second Great War (Pace the employment of biplanes in...

  11. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    For some reason the 'Snowball Earth' concept (A planet with what amounts to a 'green belt' between massive glaciation at the Poles) fascinates me - I blame Wooly Mammoths, Irish Elks and Cave Lions - so the mental image of a planetary flag with vertical stripes, white-green-white occurred to me...

  12. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    That's part of my point: if an actual, integral part of the United States of America can put up such a fight against remaining part of the United States, please consider that persuading Canadians to become US citizens might have been a process much more painful than that Annexation Bill suggests.

  13. Wasteland Memories: Photos from the Fallout Universe

    Thank You most kindly for pointing this out to me!:)

  14. ALTERNATE NOTIONS (Miscellaneous Thread for ‘Books and Media’

    I’ve just finished reading Mr Edgar Rice Burroughs’ BEYOND THIRTY and one cannot possibly complain about it’s entertainment value: if nothing else it’s deeply amusing to read this novella with a suspicion that it is (In-universe) pure propaganda written by a rather callow young officer who...

  15. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    I’m still puzzling out the exact insignia, but I do have a mental image of the New Anglian Confederation uniform, at least - one imagines a combination of Air Force cut and Royal Navy colour scheme & insignia, more or less (It makes more sense for spacers to wear a forage cap than a sailor hat...

  16. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    Hmmm … that link above showed the right picture, but not the right page: hopefully the following will set that right. Please see here for the full picture AND those links I mentioned.

  17. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    Small differences can loom very large: just ask the Northern and Southern sections of the United States! (Heck, remember that the US south originally fought to be a part of the United States, unlike the ancestors of the Canadians - and, at least in the 1860s, not the distant ancestors of those...

    I really like the addition of that diamond shape: it does help the ‘flow’ of this flag a great deal.

  19. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    ^^ Is it just me or does anyone else get a strong ‘Not Australian but we will absolutely be stealing their Look’ vibe from those stars and that colour scheme? ^^

  20. Wasteland Memories: Photos from the Fallout Universe

    I wonder what happened to various State Law Enforcement agencies in the FALLOUT timeline: would the State Police from the constituent elements of brand new commonwealths combine forces or would they continue to go their separate ways? For that matter, one can only wonder how long it took to...
