  1. Ike dies after the Battle of the Bulge

    Monty might try to push himself into the position tho the American High Command will undoubtedly balk at his difficult attitudes. Perhaps Bradley will do tho he is still an Army Group Commander. General Marshall? Tho he is still indispensable and greatly needed at Washington DC to keep the...

  2. Does Germany do worse with just Panzer IVs?

  4. Eisenhower in the Pacific: Part 1 The Shoestring Warriors of Luzon

  5. Eisenhower in the Pacific: Part 1 The Shoestring Warriors of Luzon

    Pity there is no way for Ike to inquire about ordering Jeeps early on. Those vehicles would be able to tow the 37mm cannons plus carry the 30cal and 50cal. MGs plus the 81mm mortar and ferry supplies, troops and retrieve wounded front the fluid front lines...

  7. Stalin attacks the Western Allies when the Soviets encounter them?

    I believe that the Western Allies were giving Russia lend-lease Aviation and POL fuel at greater than 50 percent of their daily usage needs. Their logistical capacity to run their aircraft and vehicles will be impaired within weeks of heavy combat battle...

  8. BEF is captured at Dunkirk - How does Churchill respond to a Ransom-for-Peace?

    No... those troops that escaped Dunkirk and Evac out of France were the core units that fought and gain experience in North Africa against Rommel's Afrika Korps and then fought on Sicily and went slugging Northwards unto Italy.. Those experience troops were then sent back to England and use...

  9. BEF is captured at Dunkirk - How does Churchill respond to a Ransom-for-Peace?

    If the German Wehrmacht can capture the BEF around Dunkirk, at least 300,000 British and Allied Troops, plus capture those British troops at the other British Forces that had landed at the other Channel City French Ports before they can evac, that would be another 100,000 Combat troops plus...

  10. The Battle at Dawn: The first battle between the United States and Japan December 7-10, 1941

    As long as the USN fleet doesn't sortie out to be targeted by the IJN torpedo bombers outside the harbor and are ready to rumble against incoming airstrikes... A chance to hurt the IJN air assets even more..

  11. Luftwaffe Zeros?

  12. The Battle at Dawn: The first battle between the United States and Japan December 7-10, 1941

    But reading and commenting about the fallacies of the two combatants in a lecture hall or deckroom is one thing, experiencing the event and suffering the same fate and responding properly in action instead in a plaid peace time footing is another issue.

  13. The Battle at Dawn: The first battle between the United States and Japan December 7-10, 1941

    I don't have any info estimate of the USN 1941 AAA levels. Historical Dakka for a USN Carrier TF below 1942; 1944; 1944 w/ VT Fuze

  14. What if the Japanese had brought an invasion force to take Hawaii after Pearl Harbor?

    The American US Naval Submarines gladly thank Imperial Japan sending their merchant fleet supplying their IJN TF hovering near Hawaii to become targets of opportunities and hopefully the US tech force realizes that they need to improve their torpedoes and thus make sure that they can make kills...

  15. What if the Japanese had brought an invasion force to take Hawaii after Pearl Harbor?

    Imperial Japan would have to divert Supply, Cargo, Tanker and escort ships from other invasion sites like the Philippines Islands or the planned assault against Burma or Singapore to gain enough logistical, Ship Bunker Oil & Aviation fuel to sustain the fleet off Hawaii to maintain their combat...

  17. What if the Japanese had brought an invasion force to take Hawaii after Pearl Harbor?

    Logistics and keeping a fleet in being near Hawaii to try to hold and occupy whatever Imperial Japan tries to invade in that island chain. If you keep an Imperial Fleet near Hawaii just beyond IJN's ability to maintain a logistical chain.. You'll have to sacrifice invading a specific region in...

    The only IJN Battlecruisers left were those that were upgraded were the Kongo class but the Hiei and Kirishima fought and died at Guadalcanal while the Kongo & Haruna had engaged Taffy 3 among with Yamato & Nagoto. Neither the Alaska nor the Guam were fully serviceable & combat ready until...
