I liked our Allegro, it was one of the earlier ones with chrome bumpers in the dark blue. Though in fairness I was only about 3 or 4 at the time.

Thats either a Belgian FAL or the British SLR version. (Depends if its the full auto version really)

The underlying belief by British inteligence was that any attack would come from the sea. Therefore whilst I believe plans were drawn up for defenses on the landward side, these were shelved in favour of more naval guns to protect the harbour. Therefore you need either someone in charge who is...

Depends on whether American opinion is so high that the Government will accept surrender before sufficiant vengance is carried out. Once the Balloon attacks reach fruition this may turn out to be the result. Also if their is any possibility of fast forwarding atom bomb production, coupled with a...

I have a feeling that more than two atomic weapons will be used on Japanese soil.

Congratulations Geon on a great story. Looking forward to the next part, especilly the German operation. Atlantis - that was the German auxillary cruiser. Funnilly enough the same one that sparked the Automendon incident and gave Japan the heads up that the British were weak in the far East...

If France had beaten Germany during the western offensive and caused a full surrender of Germany and other Axis forces then it would have made the Far East situation much easier. Firstly, The Soviets most certainly would have raced to grab as much of German controlled Poland as possible as well...

In 1999 China v Britain would have been a no no for China. Whilst we could of not succeeded militarilly (and Chin could of overrun Hong Kong) the result would of been a mess in both the UN and within NATO countries (although the NATO perogative would not have been acivated) China would of at...

Victory for Nazi Germany....hmmm option are either.... 1st - remove Britains support for Poland (One way to win) 2nd - Decisive defeat and capture of British and French force at Dunkirk. 3rd - (with previous preparations) I know I will get shot for this but..... the plans for the invasion after...

Effectively yes. I know it technically could be classed as assuming the landings could occur, but i wanted to view it more from the planning stage. Basically did the Germans even plan the possible landing sites as successful locations or were they even more of a contribution to the failure of...

Have read sticky, acknowledged said sticky .... and found that It doesent answer my question. This may be something for our east coast UK brethren to answer if they live near the sites.

Nope, Plymouth Uni actually! I'm only really asking whether the landing zones themselves would be suitable for discourging an army of up to 12 divisions (the planned initial amount) including equipment and supplies until ports were (potentially) captured and made functional.

Ah, but, I'm not suggesting it was successful, but am asking the geographical and/or logistacal capabilities of realistically landing anything on the shores of Britain!

Now. Before flaming etc. I wish to say, I have already devoted a dissertation on the possibility of the landings in Britain by the Germans. I determined the best (though by no means at all successful) period for invasion was June/July 1940 when the Royal Navy and armed forces were at their...

The big thing I understood with the airfield bombing at Stanley was that it removed not only the ability for the Agentines to relocate some of their fast jets there, but also put paid to further visits by their C130 transports they were using the ferry troops and equipment out there. The loss...
