What if, Stalin had followed his general's advice for a concentrated offensive after the Battle of Moscow 1941, instead of a general offensive like IOTL?
Hi guys.
Has anyone made a thread about how a Cold War-WWIII would have been like in the Southern Front - Greece and Turkey, the Aegean and the Med?
Seems most people are West Germany-buffs ;)
What could realistically become the outcome of the Battle for France if the Allies were able to halt the German offensive?
Stalemate? Tideturner? Inevitable end of Germany?
Didn't the Allies have more men and a larger industry base combined than Germany?
Something that seems odd is that the USAF had virtually no problem with pounding the shit out of the air forces of Germany and France, despite both being both large and modern. I mean would it be so easily IRL?
Has anyone read "Cauldron" by Larry Bond?
If a war had broken out between the US vs France and Germany, would the Americans have been able to flat the Europeans as they did in the book?
Would the USSR become a total wasteland (irradiated wilderness with a few isolated settlements) or would some regions manage to pull together a functioning goverment in the years to come?
LOTS of refugees streaming south to warmer latitudes, from France to Siberia. The surviving nations would...
Sweden and Finland would most likely be involved, according to the latest research.
There were plans to make amphibious landings in southern Sweden. This was on the route to Oslo and meant also to secure the Baltic along with invading Denmark.
The Soviets would probably invade northern...
Exciting turn of events. However a few wonderings on my mind...
What do the Soviets hope to achieve by parachuting into Sweden? Paratroopers cannot sustain themselves for too long in hostile territory without support from the main forces. Have they got naval capacity for this and to neutralize...
Anyone playing this game?
Currently stuck at "1914 again...", damn this mission is hard! :)
I like the game and it has some interesting scenarios. Something that bothered me though, was the "Able Archer"-synopsis: NATO conducts one of it´s largest military exercises ever, the Soviets react...
I´m thinking about the incident of Soviet submarine S-363, which ran aground inside Swedish territorial waters in October 1981.

Could the incident have escalated into a full naval skirmish between the two fleet forces?
Depressing TL, but very interesting!
Have a ITTL-question; did the Soviet nuclear doctrine really call for the bombing of EVERY country on the planet? Seems a little extreme... but then again it was called MAD for a reason, I guess.
For the knowing ones; was there ever a period when nuclear...
Come on, they´re not that incomprehensible! :D On the other hand, as a Swede I´m practicly breast-fed with IKEA...
Thank you Rast, for a Swedish post, loved it!
