  1. DBWI: A Napoleonic Defeat

    What if Napoleon was defeated in the Wars of the Coalition and Britain wins? What would the world look like, in the immediate aftermath, through to today?

  2. Ramifications of a Napoleonic Victory

    I've recently been putting together a framework for a Napoleonic Victory scenario for a game mod (yes, it's Vicky 2).

  7. Worst General of All Time (before 1900)

    Who is the undeniably worst general in the history of human stupidity? My personal nomination is General William Elphinstone. He was put in charge of the British garrison at Kabul, and ended up with every British and Indian soldier (and women and children) massacred, in the most incompetent...

  8. WI: No Taiwan

    What are the historical ramifications of a world without the island of Taiwan (that is to say, geologically, Taiwan never formed in the past)? (If this belongs in the ASB forum, I apologize)

  9. DBWI: Franco-Prussian War
