  1. War over Holland a different defeat

    Utrecht is smack in the middle of the New Waterline so very likely to suffer heavily, one way or the other.

  2. War over Holland a different defeat

    Continued resistance is likely to cause more damage to civilian infrastructure than less.

  3. Malaya What If

    I think that might be the key. For smaller airplanes the weight of parachutes is relatively more significant compared to larger airplanes.

  4. Malaya What If

    That is true and certainly a possibility. AFAIK though these were mostly fighterpilots, did other pilots do that as well?

  5. Malaya What If

    Great update FC! Very good description of the factors a recon flight has to consider. Regarding the quotes passage: why didn't the crew eject the plane by parachute? Wouldn't that be safer?

  6. Malaya What If

    I have never thought of it like that. Sounds incredibly apt. Will steal that analogy!

  7. War over Holland a different defeat

    I certainly don't think it's too detailed! Some maps would be nice though, would make it easier to keep track of developments :)

  8. War over Holland a different defeat

    It seems to me - if I understand the situation correctly- that Student is making the correct decisions. The Germans need the bridges to allow their tanks acces to the Fortress Holland. All other objectives are secondary to that. Even if he is correct, that does not mean that he will be...

  9. War over Holland a different defeat

    My grandmother was born and raised in the hamlet of Schiphol. OTL the family was pretty lucky the bombs mostly fell in their garden. ATL they are probably less lucky!

  10. Malaya What If

    @Fatboy Coxy could you tell how the Malayan government dealer with Japanese citizens OTL?

  11. Malaya What If

    And here I was feeling pretty proud of myself for having posted that in the inebriated state I was in!

  12. Malaya What If

    The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exit.

  13. If General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny didn't die, would Dien Bien Phu or a French defeat of similar scale never have taken place in the Indochina War?

    Everybody was expecting that the Viet Minh would throw themselves at the French defenses. Hell, the Viet Minh was expecting that they would go and do that. Võ Nguyên Giáp is a very underrated general. Not that people think he was a bad general, just that he was far more of a genius then people...

  14. Malaya What If

    It's a pretty extensive operation indeed. You first have to sign in to a raffle to be allowed to order, then if you get in you can select a crate, after which you have to register your license plate so they are certain the correct person does the pickup. As I said, it's worth it, especially if...

  15. Malaya What If

    The father of my girlfriend goes to Westvleteren to get a crate of beer from the Abbey there. The monks only make and sell that beer when they need the money and it is not supposed to be sold commercially. It is the best beer in the world, hands down. If you ever come across it, it will probably...

  16. War over Holland a different defeat

    Dutch AA did quite some damage OTL, will be interesting to see how the changes will affect the coming battle :)

  17. Malaya What If

    Does anyone have a good map of the area? With markers for the landing areas and the Ledge?

  18. Malaya What If

    It's not cannot but more are reluctant to. Borneo (West and East) is definitely going to fall so the Japanese can provide air cover from there. Even if that means that the Japanese decide that the route through the South Chinese Sea is to dangerous, nothing stops them from routing the entire...

  19. Malaya What If

    Greatly overstated in this part of the war.

  20. AHC: Make Japan attack Britain and France, but not America in 1940

    If I might suggest something: when Japan started putting pressure on the French Indochina (FIC) government to give them basing rights in Northern Vietnam, a request was made by the governor general of the French colony for British support. The British admiralty was clear: the Empire would not be...
