    Please do not post current political wikiboxes in threads where they are forbidden.
  2. Map Thread XV

    No POSTING bigoted/racist comments, when there was absolutely no damned reason to post them, IS something you are responsible for.
  3. Map Thread XV

    He posted that African American culture EQUALS crime. Posted it, clear as day. That wasn't a PDF file that he copied, the text was just that, plain text. He could have edited that bit out in five seconds (10 if he added a explanation for why the sentence was incomplete). He CHOSE to leave it...
  4. Map Thread XV

    Don't care. He CHOSE to POST IT. That makes it his. He could have modified or omitted that section; he didn't. You post it, you are responsible for it. This, of course, also assumes that he is not the original author and simply has a different user name on different sites.
  5. Map Thread XV

    African American culture = crime? Uh huh. Be relieved this is only a kick. Won't get another bite of this apple. Next time you are in Coventry.
  6. Most Negligent Naval Commanders in British Empire history?

    Bligh was, in many respects, a brilliant seaman and mariner, as a leader of men however, his record is more that somewhat spotty.
  7. The worst cold war tl cliches

    You called? Keep this in Chat, thank you.
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Government in Exile came back in, with massive British/Commonwealth assistance on the civilian side (and U.S. military included in the security forces) and sweat blood for about three years to reestablish the basics of civil administration. First election was June of 1964. Majority of the...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Yes. Specifically that was for those who were more or less being executed as examples to everyone else.
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Less than you might imagine. The Polish civilian authorities have given their military commanders, most of whom in the immediate post war period had spent the War fighting with the British and/or Americans, wide latitude to deal with "problems". Between the officer's discretion regarding...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Average plantation? Around 2,200 calories a day (keep in mind they are doing hard physical labor sun to sun in all weather). Best case? About 3,700 calories, more if the "Squire" can manage it, like at harvest, or if there was a very good year and there was enough to make quota (this, BTW comes...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    By 8 years of age they have been working as some level of field hand for a couple years, especially on the more "strict" plantations. 90% of them have seen a family member either killed or been shipped off to a "more rigorous" location or sent to the Reich as a factory worker (in the Antebellum...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    They were lucky. THere was no one who qualified as "young" in General Government. 8 year olds were world weary.
  14. The Worst WWII Alternate History Cliche

    Here's few that haven't come up yet: Japan invading Hawaii on December 7th. Japan invading Hawaii after winning at Midway Japanese carrier attacks on the U.S. West Coast. The Reich surrendering after one or two nuclear bombings.
  15. Western Allies tell Stalin they will not allow anything other than Russia to be claimed by the USSR

    It is interesting that you find 360 MPH as "marginal". The Spitfire didn't noticeably exceed that number until the Type IXe entered service in mid 1943 yet it was the premier RAF fighter throughout the War, including during the Blitz when facing the Ju-88 which had a top speed within 5% of the B-29.
  16. Western Allies tell Stalin they will not allow anything other than Russia to be claimed by the USSR

    What are the targets at night? Leningrad? Already utterly destroyed. Minsk? Gone Moscow? Heavily defended but accessible. Even if the city is flattened, what difference does it make? No industry to speak of, certainly not enough to damage the Soviet war effort. The main industrial base is a...
  17. Western Allies tell Stalin they will not allow anything other than Russia to be claimed by the USSR

    The Soviets may have had a very poor surface fleet (pitiful would be a better descriptor), but it had a very good submarine force, albeit one that was very much a "green/brown water" asset. There is no way that the U.S. would even consider operating carriers in the Baltic, just the transit...
  18. Western Allies tell Stalin they will not allow anything other than Russia to be claimed by the USSR

    The Soviets did indeed fall off over around 20K. Doesn't matter. A 360mph fighter can still perform intercepts on a B-29 (which will not be able to operate at max speed while fully loaded or when it is on a mission exceeded 2,000 miles). Against every other heavy the WAllies had with 2,000 miles...
  19. Western Allies tell Stalin they will not allow anything other than Russia to be claimed by the USSR

    The B-29 can make the flight, even with an overload of bombs. The issue becomes the availability of proper airfields. Unlike the B-17 & 24 both of which needed under 5,000 feet at max take off weight, the B-29 requires a a noticeably longer runway (North Field on Tinian had 8,000' runways and...
