Being Pro freedom of speech I will back your right to use the word as long as Ian doesn't object. After all it is his board and it reflects on him. However are you aware of the full level of hate engendered into this word. Many Japanese find it is akin to using the words Chink, Nip, Spic...

One of the big factors (since you stipulated changing the actions of as little as possible) is the Media. Who here doesn't envision Hitler standing their "Ranting" to the German people. Standing with his generals and planning, Reviewing the Troops who are about to slaughter the innocent...

LMAO :D :D :D

Don’t see this as really possible, assuming the same world up through Sept 1945. #1 The trial and execution would be seen by most of the world as beyond a Kangaroo court. The Nuremberg trials weren’t concluded until Fall of 1946 and the War ended earlier for Germany. Critics will point...

Timeline. Please note that 1) This is very Americentric??? Timeline, I apologies for this. 2) I have tried not to overly deviate American election results partially because I can see the results I list, and to avoid flame wars from Carter, Bush, Reagan, Clinton Haters. 3) This...

Even if initially the Government/Corporations overestimated, within a few years it would become apparent this was the case. Your example unless a typo is totally off. We might make a mistake and think we have 50 years when we only have 20. I can't see any way we think we have 50 years when...

I concur. For transportation purposes at least, Alcohol seems to be the next most cost effective energy source after oil. If I remember correctly it would sell for about $2.50 a gallon of gasoline equivalent. Most vehicles of the time period could be modified to use it for between $500 and...

Material would be hard to say. But money is easy. $1.9 Billion in 1945 dollars. $20 Billion by today’s standards. By comparison WWII cost the US ~$150 Billion (1945) ~$3 Trillion (1996) In other words "Manhattan Project" Used less then 2% of our resources. IF divided equally amongst all...

Bombing more means more Dead Germans, Not less. It may mean an earlier end to the war, however ending a war through bombing alone is almost impossible. Unless the invasion moves up or the bombing campaign is massively more effective I don’t see the war ending much sooner. Remember that more...

As Alayta points out why MORE Germans killed? Additionally how do you figure fewer Japanese killed? The only way the Japanese can suffer fewer losses is if Japan would have surrendered before the end of August, otherwise casualties amongst both the military and civilians would have continued...

There is also the alleged matter of Welfare fraud on a massive scale. Jones would probably have found himself under arrest within a few years if he had stayed. This may have resulted in a local suicide on a smaller scale 50-200 people. Of course the reality is the CIA would have had to...

Curse you Bill Bruno, You took my rightfull post!!! Beat me to it did you. We shall meet again and next time you won't be so lucky. ;) Hmmm maybe I should look at you as an ally since you view it the same way I do. Yes an ally to help me conquer this board. The master plan comes togeather. Now...

WHY DOES EVERYBODY ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT THE WAR OF 1812. WHY DOES EVERYBODY ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT THE WAR OF 1812. Not shouting at you Tetsu-Katana. You are in the vast majority of people who forget that little conflict. I think most people who learned about it in school think of it as just...

SAMURAI can take on the other 4 at once and win! Seriousley the use of the word Samurai is VERY broad. Below are a few notes about throwing the Samurai in and determining winners. 1) The Samurai span a history from 12th to 19th (and some would argue 20th century) If I was in command of 1000...

Many inventions are almost inevitable unless you change physics or another major point in history. Chrispi quite correctly pointed out that others also worked on these inventions. Take the light bulb. It is almost inconceivable (I do not think that word means what you think it means...

Gasoline too cheap. I think that to use absolutes like that is a little paranoid :) I would not be surprised that some efforts are made by the oil companies to keep certain research low. Beyond this I have seen nothing significant on that end. Please enlighten me if you know of anything...

The Romans have the same weapons, but bigger, better made and manned by men with FAR more experience. If these weapons are going to help win the day the odds are that it will be the Romans who benefit. I assume you mean on the fortifications. These will surly do some damage, However a large...

And the winner is...... General Ursus.... :D Sorry couldn't resist, Don't flame me. :)

Tanks for information and oppinion. Prunesquallor thanks for the info on Crassus and his life. It gave me a better insight into the situation Wkwillis Your points are also very helpful in giving insight into this situation, Especially your comment “Most of the Roman territory has been...

A possible landing. In the early morning hours a Roman fleet of 200 ships some full battle Galleys, many simply merchant ships hired for carrying troops and supplies slips towards the shoreline 20 miles south of Catiana. Two of the five scouts stationed near this point by Spartacus light a...
