If Alexander had headed west.

Well... I do not know what would have happened.
But I know what Titus Livius (Livy for friends) thought, -or wanted to think-
in one of the earliest recorded cases of sci-fi writing (in its 'ucrony' variant). The beginning of hte text shows Livy at his most 'human' as a man interested in "what ifs"

This text, in which Livy indulged in a lot of wishful thinking, is not as well-known as it deserves, and makes for a good read... and even a good wargames campaign idea. In any case, it is always a good idea to have a look at original sources to see what they though about issues we now discuss! Enjoy it (Livy IX, 17-19):

This may be the first detailed what-if scenario in historiography.

This is definitely a major revelation!
