Well, that's the thing - now it doesn't, and I'm wondering if that has any impact.

I can't describe the look of horror that went over my face when I read that. Holy crap... Out of curiosity, one difference I've commonly seen mentioned is that Christianity has a few "official faces", while Islam doesn't. The Pope, for example. Could that possibly affect matters?

The last time that happened, half the PLA came pouring over the border. Then again, the last time that happened, the American puppets evolved into a functioning democracy that's now one of the most prosperous nations in Asia while the Communist puppets...well. All in all, I suppose it comes...

The question becomes, how do the Nationalists win? If they get a sudden dose of competence, China's future looks significantly brighter. If they're the same idiots who managed to lose to a bunch of mountain bandits (the CCP at the time), well...China will be much worse off.

...I thought it was an essential career step to command a capital ship? :confused:

The worst is that there's a Downfall about Japan...then there's a Downfall with Angry Hitler in it. Also, there was a nice comic book series about Downfall a while back, I think it was called Storming Paradise.

Aah, right, Harkness is the International res, got confused. It's even worse because the International Study Centre is in the JDUC, same place the grad res is...

You mean Downfall, right? :p

Wait, he was in Harkness? Or is this an older res?

Sounds interesting - could I get a link to that please? "Midway victory" is giving me 8 pages of results...

In all fairness, it's not like there was a Japanese army TO quit by then...

Anytime before Israel has nuclear weapons: either Israel is wiped out or greater powers intervene. Anytime after Israel has nuclear weapons: the whole region goes up in flames.

If you can't tell the difference between Volkssturm fighting the Red Army in Berlin and Home Guard fighting the Heer in Dover, I don't know what to say to you.

Because it's less favourable for the USN to engage with carriers at that point?

Okay, fair enough. It's still vastly more likely for the decisive battle to happen when the Americans still have all their battleships, though.

I think the issue was conversion from metric to imperial measurements...:D

Designs were captured from both North Africa and the Eastern Front.

No comments on how rational he was in reality, but nuclear weapons have a funny way of making everybody rational, ref. Mao.

The Germans weren't exactly in tiptop shape either. WW1 with America sitting on the sidelines likely results in a Europe too exhausted to do anything other then glare at each other over borders that no-one has the stomach to force a change in. Germany has A-L and its mines, France still has the...

If the Pacific Fleet isn't out at Pearl by the attack, it will be pretty soon after. There's no way to threaten Japan from the West Coast, and the IJN gets their decisive battle. Of course, Japan only has one fleet, America has as many as Newport News can build.
