DISCLAIMER: I'm originally from Indianapolis. You have no idea how impartial I'm being in answering this :) Marlin Jackson drops the game-winning interception on the Patriots' final drive David Tyree's catch is overturned on booth review Gronkowski is one foot closer to the scrum in the...

I have always been of the opinion that Henry Cardinal Tudor would have been more dangerous than Henry VIII. Even as just an archbishop, he would have the resources and backing of the Church behind him and somewhat less restraint than OTL. Pope would be a stretch. Must do research to satisfy...

I'm going out on a limb and guessing Viking 1. OTL its landing had to be moved back to 20 July. TTL it lands on its original intended date of the Bicentennial. Failing that, you used the juice on the two extra outer system probes (the Jupiter-Uranus flybys).

Does the answer have something to do with a man in a wheelchair petting a white cat?:) A more serious question: why, after the amount of effort expended to destroy Nazi Germany, would the Americans use the German name for an interstate highway network? I get the part that the German autobahns...

For what? Last time this happened, he was quite immune to the prospect of Nazis with vuvuzelas. Or was that teletubbies... Humor aside, this has been one incredible read. Bravo Zulu, Calbear.

I thought it was if they had been hard-boiled...

Around 200 nukes, inside the post-WW1 German borders. It was designed for the book as a couterforce/counter-industry strike. Based on 1947 German population distribution, it ended up killing just about all the German population.

Which has been CalBear's point in starting this thread. To see how it might have played out... Agreed. They are insane beyond belief.

Use a snippet from this thread to start/set up each chapter before switching to the characters' stories... That would work.

You also have the issue OTL that Zond did not demonstrate the ability to return a cosmonaut alive from a lunar flyby until after Apollo 11. IIRC, there was one instance of an unmanned test losing cabin pressure returning from the Moon, and another unmanned test was lost on reentry. A...

That's even assuming there will be enough Nazis left to organize anything.

Got the zip file Claymore, I salute you.

Italics are mine, because these are the words from Clinton's opening statement which will probably be pounced upon.

Everything. If you won't read my posts, please read Cook's and CalBear's posts. They have answered this question several times already.

Did you even read post #11?

Then what ARE you proposing battleships do with them? The only time I know of that a battleship torpedoed an enemy in combat, the Bismarck was dead in the water and unable to fight back when Rodney closed to torpedo range and launched. Battleship vs battleship at that range is generally...

In WW2, they were more common than most people think. The juxtaposition of those two thoughts in the same sentence is reminding me of a client I once had...:( In the time you could build and outfit an Iowa-class battleship with nothing but torpedo armament, I'm pretty sure you could churn out...

1. Why should battleships be hunting submarines? 2. Why should battleships designed to fight at ranges beyond 15,000 yards be closing to torpedo range (~5,000 yards?) I don't mean this to be snarky, but there are several valid reasons for warships to be designed for a single mission or several...

"In this picture is the Dutch Nation. None of its citizens can be seen..."

Before or after the magazine explosion?
