    Writing Alternate History: The Unexpected Consequence

    It reminds me of one of the latter seasons of Lost (after people had stopped watching) where it's revealed time travel is possible but also lethal unless you can find someone who is present at both points in time. I think they even used the term 'constant' to refer to such people.

    Monthly vignette: Cheap at the Price.

    I think I said something similar at the time but it would have been good to have more examination of whether or not the engagement really was worthwhile or if it really was just a waste of life halting an invasion already doomed to defeat. There does seem to be an implication (possibly just on...

    Alternate History General Discussion

    Imagining a South African/Swedish nuclear confrontation over Angola. Meanwhile a Vela-style event occurring at Lake Geneva inspires an iconic guitar riff.

    [ASB] Sea level drops by 50 metres in the early 20th century

    Extinction level events are also very common historically and this is one going to be one of them.

    Book Review: Disaster At Stalingrad

    Pretty bad, not quite Queen Nixon levels but Clean Wehrmacht is a staple and the Rommel Myth is pushed to the point of sainthood.

    Book Review: Disaster At Stalingrad

    It's also a copy and paste from his earlier work Disaster at D-Day. Tsouras can certainly put a good collection together but his unreconstructed Wehrabooism is a fatal flaw in his writing, it approaches self-parody.

    It was mostly work by David Glantz, David Stahel and John Erickson; if there was something to particular you were looking for I could probably dig it up?

    Tales from Development Hell: I Am Legend

    He certainly pulled it off in the original Terminator, arguably his best performance, but it does beg the question whether audiences would think they were watching a stealth addition to the Terminator series with the T-800 battling vampires in the post-apocalyptic setting.

    Tales from Development Hell: I Am Legend

    Great article. I was aware of the original ending but didn't know it had actually featured with the home video release. Watched the Will Smith version for the first time in ages recently and the theatrical ending was still there and still doesn't work as well as the original. Not sure if the...

    AHC/WI : Italy under harsher occupation and peace conditions after WWII

    In early 1943 Mussolini was trying to reinvigorate the Fascist regime by bringing in more hardline figures and centralising more power around himself. The new PNF Party Secretary, Carlo Scorza called for a wider purge in April which Mussolini seemed open to however he didn't act on it nor did he...

    The Multi-Faceted Nature of AH

    As if to prove your point outside of AH circles I've seen Inglorious Basterds described more as a form of "revisionist" history (albeit in the sense of improving on what really happened instead of proper historical revisionism) rather than AH. Of course you could argue that hindsight gives AH...

    Alternate History General Discussion

    If McMahon is killed immediately after then it's easier to dismiss him as a loner, anything tying them to McMahon would likely be burned or locked away and anyone who seeks out such a connection would likely receive some sort of cease and desist, possibly in an unofficial manner. I doubt the...

    Alternate History General Discussion

    It has a ring of Oswald about it, the supposedly lone delusional assassin with bizarre ties to foreign powers and domestic intelligence removes a new King who the British establishment were growing increasingly wary of. I doubt this would lead to war with Italy, relations had soured but unless...
