  1. Axis Best Case - WW2

    The quote that, for me, sums up the Great War comes from a French general. "No matter what you do, you are going to lose a lot of men". Everyone, in the entire Short Twentieth Century, was unafraid to take casualties.

  2. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    Preventing a mutiny is the #1 job of any commander of a Spanish army. Do you know the key unit in the Battle of the Dunes was officially on strike and mutinying ? Unofficially, they got passed a large bag of cash via the electo to pass to the men, who agreed they were refusing orders and would...

  3. Reich Turbulent (formerly named Der Rote Kampfflieger) - An Axis Victory TL

    With. What.

  4. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    Yes, yes it does. Yes, it does push it more into the Axis camp. But that just means it starves harder, so Germany needs to find about 7 divisions to garrison Spain with. And they block off the western end of the Med, which means Britain cant use it. Which is a tragedy for the Allies, because...

  5. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    Nope. Breastplates, helmets, horses, cannon and a whole bunch of local who were pissed off at genocide.

  6. Reich Turbulent (formerly named Der Rote Kampfflieger) - An Axis Victory TL

    Steel is made from coal and charcoal. Both of them are made from food, because both miners and lumber harvesters need to be fed. Food comes from farmland, plus either horses or fuel. Horses that go into the Army can't make food. Germany was in food deficit from 1860 or so. It traditionally...

  7. Reich Turbulent (formerly named Der Rote Kampfflieger) - An Axis Victory TL

    Yes, but Germany is even less able to afford one. Again. Why is France completely abandoning their entire between-the-wars diplomatic strategy ? Apart from, of course, 'Its my timeline and I want the Axis to win".

  8. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    No. Really. You arent addressing arguments at all. You're just asking for a support.

  9. Reich Turbulent (formerly named Der Rote Kampfflieger) - An Axis Victory TL

    No. No they really arent. If you want to argue aluminium, rubber and copper, I can see an argument.

  10. Reich Turbulent (formerly named Der Rote Kampfflieger) - An Axis Victory TL

    No, really. Why is France, Rumania and so on not backing the Little Entente ? It's like you're trying to wank stuff in favour of the Nazis or something.

  11. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    No. Really. What arguments ? So far, Im seeing "OF COURSE THE BRITISH WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT SPAIN SUPPLYING GERMAN WARSHIPS". And thats the whole of the argument.

  12. Reich Turbulent (formerly named Der Rote Kampfflieger) - An Axis Victory TL

    So. Given they lost the Great War, why are they keeping Silesia ?

  13. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    Full plate ? Armored all in white ? As opposed to the maybe a morion and breastplate the OTL spanish had ? Yeah. Im not in my youth. I'll back me under those circumstances. They will break before I get close. By the way, does the name Johannes Lichtenauer mean anything to you ?

  14. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    It means stupid nazi-wank timelines that dont pay attention to logistics, technology and so on are stupid ? For example, Spain needed to import a whole lot of food and fuel. Spain siding with Germany will get this cut off. Full stop.

  15. Exit the Haze: Hitler – The Master strategist who resurrected Germany as a global power

    You are reminding me again that there;s a cartoon versIon of history, and there is what actually happened. Ever wondered why there's this tiny little state in Mexico called Tlaxcala ?
