  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It does. Huge families were the norm. The government paid actual bounties for large number of children.
  2. WI Phillips uses his Shagbats?

    THAT is a man with a pair big enough to come in a dump truck.
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Logistically it would be quite a stretch. You get that far East and there is a LOT of nothing. Kazakhstan is tough terrain, with not much in the way of infrastructure even today in large parts of the country. The Reich could continue the conquer and enslave into the rump USSR, but the increase...
  4. Need a Good PoD

    Well, that was useful.
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    You mean the entire T/L? Not high. The hardest part is coming up with a reasonable POD that takes out the Soviets before the WAllies are actually ready to rock. I have stated several times that I have never been overly happy with the POD I used, but at the time it was not supposed to be the...
  6. Am I the only one offended by S.M. Stirlings Emberverse series?

    Actually the leader had at one point been part of the Household of the Queen, then of King Charles, who wound up on the wrong side of a palace coup. Been vastly easier if he HAD been Prince William.
  7. WI Phillips uses his Shagbats?

    Like as said, as far as I could find. Apparently you found two.
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Correct. That would eventually also have dried up and the Riech would have been looking around at a great big empty.

    Got to love that recovery process. Enlisted man climbs up onto the fuselage, straddles the pilot's canopy, while the officer holds his ankles to keep the chop from bucking the poor EM into the sea.

    Not in the Pacific. The first R4D didn't get to the Navy until 1942. The USN/USMC only purchased a total of 5 R2D, as far as I can find none of them were in the Pacific before December 7th.
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reich was getting 125,000 laborers out of the USSR every month. They sent back around a quarter million every year at the end of their "three year contract". A lot of folk committed suicide rather than go back for another "contract". Had the Reich not be destroyed in the War it would have...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Never. Not even considered for an instant. The German statelets wouldn't be allowed to rearm if the Earth was invaded by aliens.
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Oh, it had nothing to do with the Chinese feeling shortchanged regarding the allocation of "power". It was a matter of who wound up standing after the Civil War. Without the USSR to pump in money and equipment (along with direct training in Siberia) Mao's effort failed. The Nationalist...

    I don't think that ANY of the senior Allied commanders really understood the capabilities of the JNAF at the start of the war. There was no real counterpart to IJN land based airpower. The FAA and USN operated a few land based aircraft, mostly patrol planes and trainers. The Japanese Navy had...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well... The retreating Waffen SS took the time and trouble to utterly destroy Paris, Reims, Versailles, and every other bit of cultural history in Europe that they could get their hooks into and broadcast it live. They poisoned wells, rivers, and cisterns. Burned every town they passed through...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The answer to #1 & # 3 is combined in the same opening paragraphs.

    There was literally not a spot in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand that was not within easy range of the IJN G3M operating out of Saigon and Dao Mot (three air groups, 48 Nells per group) and the Yamada Group (25 A6M flying out of Soc Trang). Singapore was 700 miles from the bomber bases...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Some reconstruction is underway. With the fall of the far right government and its virulently anti-everyone policies there is some outside funding coming in. There are some exports, the wine industry was one of the few to come out of the war in anything but utter shambles (some vineyards...
  19. Map Thread XV

    Either gather your own inspiration or give proper credit where it is due.
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The impact was that these few survivors went onto the Radio and early TV and give interviews, went on speaking tours related to their experiences (largely related to continued U.S. Bond sales to support the massive military expenditures required even in the Warm War), and several wrote utterly...
