  1. WI Liberation of Paris Not "Whites Only"

    Depends on how you define mistreated. The Military allowed Jim Crow to flourish near military bases, had the War and Navy Departments put their foot down on the issue (by declaring any business that was segregated "off limits") it would have utterly shattered Jim Crow across the South. African...
  2. WI: Yamashita is found innocent in his trial?

    Homma was not in actual command after the PI fell. He was relieved of command because his treatment of the Philippine population was judged to be far to gentle by his commanders (General Count Hisaichi Terauchi, and Field Marshal Hajime Sugiyama). Homma was actually forced out of the Army and...
  3. WI: Yamashita is found innocent in his trial?

    Yamashita was dead from the get. Same as Homma. Unlike Nuremberg, which had the Allies bending over backwards to show they were not running a kangaroo court, MacArthur's trials for those officer virtually required all members of the Court to have a pouch. Pure victor's justice.
  4. Montanas built

    The Montana class were DOA. Too big to get through the Canal, too slow to keep up with the CV. They were superb ships about 15 years too late.

  6. WI: Hitler sides with the SA over the Reichwehr

    Better question is how much ammunition they have, followed by how long has it been since they used the weapon, with readiness to die coming in a close 3rd. The biggest, almost unbridgeable difference between currently trained and disciplined military forces and anyone else is that the soldier...
  7. WI: Hitler sides with the SA over the Reichwehr

    Three guys with a belt fed and a rifle squad will take 3,000 yabos and make them into 700 dead yabos, 500 wounded yabos (who will be dead PDQ without prompt medical care to keep them out of shock/bleeding out) and 1,800 terrified punks. Only question is the RoE the troops are under and if they...
  8. WI: Hitler sides with the SA over the Reichwehr

    Be amazed how much difference it makes when you have currently trained professional officers leading men under full discipline vs a bunch of street thugs. The is a reason that serious civil disturbances stop as soon as real professional troops appear (when you are only allowed to have 100,000...
  9. Better Versailles Treaty

    Why, yes, I did get the drift of post # 288. It drifted right across the whole civil discourse line. DO NOT drift over the line again
  10. Give me back that draft pick!

    You clicked through a warning telling you that this thread was dead for SEVEN YEARS to post this. NEVER do this again.
  11. What if the incident at Medak Pocket in 1993 was well known ?

    You just camethisclose to being Banned for this crap. It is a combination of Conspiracy Theory and nationalist bigotry. This is your second display of bigotry here that was kick-worthy in 10 months. You have an 0-2 count so you best protect the plate (or, if baseball isn't familiar, your next...
  12. Map Thread XV

    No. Trolling, however, is very much discouraged. There were any number of ways to express the position you espoused that could have been done without entering the Jr. High playground mode.
  13. Map Thread XV

    You are WAY off the reservation here. Back off. NOW.
  14. Map Thread XV

    I would advise you to start being REALLY careful here. While there is no doubt that the actions taken post WW II regarding the expulsion of ethnic Germans from most of the regions in the East was, under current definition a war crime, the reality also is that the REASON that Germany was...
  15. Am I the only one offended by S.M. Stirlings Emberverse series?

    He is a BANNED member here. The reason he was banned was beyond justified. He has, by his own actions here, illustrated who he is.
  16. WI: Paulus Doesn't Surrender?

    The reality is that, several days BEFORE Paulus surrendered the Southern pocket (the actual final surrender at Stalingrad two days after Paulus gave up the in the South when General Strecker finally accepted the inevitable on February 2nd) the Red Army had begun to withdraw major formations (on...
  17. State Wars: USA

    WTF? Rather than even try to figure this thing out, I'll just lock it as a pointless mass death scenario.
  18. WI Liberation of Paris Not "Whites Only"

    Actually it would just take the U.S. deciding to say FU. Via Lend/Lease The British received over 280,000 trucks from the U.S., with the French receiving 27,000+ after D-day The British received over 1.5 million rifles from the U.S. (along with 650,000 .38 revolvers, 39,000 .45 pistols and...
  19. WI Liberation of Paris Not "Whites Only"

    Uh huh. The British had, possibly, even less love for deGaulle, than the U.S. at this point in the war. There were plenty of staff officers at SHAEF, both Americans and British, would would have passed out cigars if some mishap had overtaken deGaulle. Of course this was entirely reasonable...
  20. WI Liberation of Paris Not "Whites Only"

    Followed shortly by the French army suddenly experiencing a 90% reduction in fuel, ammunition and ration delivery.
