  1. When the Wind Blew: a P&S Open Thread

    Plus irradiated as the result of American missiles launched to take out Soviet missile fields along the TSR... Depending on prevailing winds and stuff like that.
  2. DBWI: Israel wins Six Day War

    I wouldn't go that far. If Israelis hadn't botched their preemptive strike, they still may have won. And if the Arabs lost comprehensively, Israel may have had achieved defensible borders. I think that was their objective, any way? I mean look at the Sinai, Golan and Jordan river... Hard to...
  3. DBWI: Israel wins Six Day War

    Probably Cairo and Damask would not have been irradiated deserts they are today. And we would have less radical Islamic terrorism. I suppose that by now, Israelis and Palestinians would have found the way to coexist in peace.
  4. Extended Maginot Line

    Cut them off in the sense of 'You are left to fend off for yourself. You are welcome to retreat behind our fortifications if you lose, but no French army will come to your rescue, as we have our perfect fortification and will not sally out.' Digging to the extent of Maginot line will...
  5. AHC/WI: Axis Vichy France?

    Provided you can get those 40 million people to cooperate. What good is this industry (already employed to the maximum capacity possible OTL anyway) if there are no resources to feed it with?
  6. WI: Nazi Victory in Superpower Empire China TL

    Wait, why would there ever exist such ideology as Nazism in a world that massive butterflies from the existence of powerful Chinese empire would shape? And why would there ever be WW2?
  7. Extended Maginot Line

    They were actually attacked through Belgium the last time round...
  8. Extended Maginot Line

    Nope. Marshy soil, not enough money, no reason to cut Belgium off. Also impossible because of negative influence on infrastructure and industry of the region.
  9. DBWI: Hitler's Assassin Missed

    Communist? Yes, that is if you are going to believe the history Soviets placed in order to make themselves look better for cooperating with Hitler. It was all probably cooked by that German fellow who succeeded Beria as chief of NKVD. But everyone knows it was Himmler who did that. We do not...
  10. 1914 Germany stands defencive in the West

    But, but... {mutters something about revolving door, keep the right wing strong, Cannae}... The decisive defeat in German understanding in 1914 was forced not through bleeding the French dry in defense but in destroying the French field army in a giant Cannae like maneuver? This 'bleed them dry...
  11. Could the RN have done much to stop a German invasion in 1942?

    But on the other hand, lot's less of air support. Oh, wait... But fog will certainly help them to avoid the RN... And the British Isles too... so... Shorter days and longer nights wo... Oh, wait... Yap, they are sc*ewed in 1942 even more than in 1940. Not taking into account there...
  12. Why didn't Hitler authorise chemical weapons?

    By the time he was willing to use them, the ability to use them was gone.
