  4. WI: Abba Eban settles in Britain?

    Don't bump a thread like this. Dead be dead.
  5. French Armed Forces 1941......

    Against fighters like the bF-109 they would have been slaughtered. Of course, the same can be said for the Ju-87 and Hurricane. Probably the biggest weakness would be that they were naval aircraft with crews that had no experience or training for CAS.
  6. Does Germany do worse with just Panzer IVs?

    Possibly, the Reich was simply Godawful at the entire production concept, the degree of success being entirely a matter of the individual manufacturer. I would, however, expect the additional number of Pz IV to slightly exceed the figures for the Pz V (Tiger) and Pz VI (Panther) which managed a...
  7. Does Germany do worse with just Panzer IVs?

    It is literally impossible for Nazi Germany to do worse than IOTL. It was totally destroyed, occupied (for half a Century, at least in the East), its leadership (excepting those who committed suicide) were tried and hanged or imprisoned, and its very political philosophy has become an insult...
  8. New Deal Coalition Retained: A Sixth Party System Wikibox Timeline

    I would recommend that folks keep in mind Board policies regarding civil discourse.
  9. New Deal Coalition Retained: A Sixth Party System Wikibox Timeline

    Nice revenge fantasy. Violates Board Policy right down the line. Kicked for a week.
  10. WI: Ted Kennedy dies in 1964?

    Since you were provided an opportunity to respond and failed to do so I'm going to take this post at face value. That face value is virulently racist. Kicked for a week. This is your second kick in a month. It is very much a strike two. Please keep that in mind when you return.

    You WILL cease and desist. Now.
  13. WI: Ted Kennedy dies in 1964?

    Oh, please DO expand. I insist.
  14. If Britain had experienced Nazi occupation, would it vote for Brexit?

    Sweet Mother! Locked for reasons that should be obvious.
  15. The Myth of Intervention and the ACW

    Exactly how much of this IS lifted straight from Wikipedia? Clearly the Lloyd George quote it self was taken from there (which isn't a major issue, since it is appears many places and copying a quote itself is fair use), but how much else has been lifted without proper attribution? This sort...
  16. WI: The Fuhrer demands more trucks!

    Wartime construction is a zero sum game. There are finite resources (even the U.S. experienced a "steel crisis" in 1943, having to delay construction of several warships, including at least one of the Iowa's to provide material for other, even higher priority constructions, mainly 'Phib's like...
  17. German turned FLAK 18 88mm into an artillery piece

    Probably. Doesn't mean that the U.S. went out of the way to replace the M7 or M12 with the tank destroyer. That is the issue here. It isn't that the Flak 18 (or any other AAA gun) can't be used in a conventional artillery role, they can. It is that they are inferior in the role to a proper...
  18. German turned FLAK 18 88mm into an artillery piece

    The Flak 18 is singularly unsuitable for counter battery work due to its ballistics. It is simply not useful in the indirect fire role, at least compared to a proper howitzer.
  19. German turned FLAK 18 88mm into an artillery piece

    The Flak 18 weighed 16,000+ pounds with a reasonable mount (the weapon had a substantial recoil). The British QF 25 pounder weighted 3,600 pounds. The U.S. 105mm M101 was ~5,000 pounds. Both the British and the U.S. had lots of motorized towing options (both WAllied guns could be towed by a...
