Agreed, it's a very impressive timeline

You're very right, troops made most of the way on transport ships and climbed down on ropes over the side. Then formed up and dashed for the shore

It's not that the barges were so bad but that they would be very vulnerable against small attack craft like destroyers. The Allies' landing craft of 1944 on wards had the advantage of being almost totally protected from any seaborne threat by the massive Allied combined naval force. The upshot...

Just want to make it known that i'm still reading and very much enjoying this timeline. One thing i'm still not sure on though is that despite the large number of warships and settlements i always imagined the total population of Madagascar being quite low. If you include all the pirates of...

Before that but after lend-lease the American public was, iirc, over 2 thirds against war with Germany. Before the Axis declarations, there wasn't much of a direct cause for war in the States

without pearl the US would never have been directly involved with Japan, despite the atrocities. Roosevelt had a hard enough time convincing the public that fighting Germany was necessary. The embargo was an effective means of forcing American policy onto Japan without intervening in their war...

I don't think that the Japanese naval forces around the Philippines could have achieved anywhere near the decisive success that they wanted, the IJN did have some luck at Leyte, managing to get a fleet near to the landing fleet without encountering the USN carriers. Then getting another fleet to...

wonder if he would have accepted a vice-presidency under another clinton if he had failed to win the nomination?

Strangely the best way for Germany to win that battle would have been not to fight it at all. With Germans waltzing all over europe and with no visible enemy to fight at home, we probably would have lost the will to fight on.

exactly the same as all other versions, Steam just acts like the game launcher. You can actually play the game even with steam closed. just go to your steamapps folder and common and it's all there in Darkest hour. Put mods into the mods folder and fire her up, the game launcher has a mod...

Hi all, had a quick search through the forums but couldn't find anything relating to this recently so i decided to throw a quick thread up. Would there be any way of making the Abwehr more effective? would it take as little as replacing Canaris with someone more sympathetic to Nazi goals...

without Rome would the pressures that created the migration period simply disappear?

could the USSR really hide or explain away the massive troop movements needed to prepare for an invasion of Germany like the Germans before Barbarossa? Despite many of the advantages that they would gain from a pre-emptive attack, the shortcomings of their armed forces at the time combined...

very clever title, enjoying this so far. hoping to see the rang gang get smashed by the locals :) subbed

goodbye sweet potential :D someone please make a cultural TL of this, even if i'm not the biggest fan of his work. Peter Jackson would surely have Neill Blomkamp involved (District 9) and i would love to see that film.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

there is always one....

what a bleak world that would be

earlier Barbarossa, a whole extra army to send to the east, not having to use vital manpower to police the balkans (also the possibility of brow beating the Yugoslavs into joining them) more tanks, more planes, less transport to support the logistics. sure, the Germans would have had to...

keep the US out of a pacific war until they are laid down and you get a couple made. if the pacific does blow up, the moment a midway like battle happens (or sooner) then they will get pushed down in priority and, depending on how long the war goes on for, maybe cancelled. if everything goes...
