  1. Maximum amount of damage possible for the Tirpitz to inflict?

    She could have been quite the predator, against one convoy. Realistically the best thing the British could have done was suckered her out and used a couple subs to wait for her eight into or out of the anchorage. By Early 1944 the best would have been to get her at sea using a carrier. Problem...
  2. Maximum amount of damage possible for the Tirpitz to inflict?

    That was the beauty of the scenario. Tirpitz alone tied down a fast BB squadron, a cruiser squadron and destroyer flotilla, for better than two years. The purpose of a fleet is to prevent the OPFOR from controlling the seas. While the RN ships were watching the KM BB they were out of the war...
  3. Maximum amount of damage possible for the Tirpitz to inflict?

    Pretty much. The RN would have needed a minimum of six fast BB on station at all times, same number of cruisers, at least 15 destroyers, and for the part of the year when carriers could operate at least one full size deck in the area with its escorts. It is worth keeping mind that Tirpitz...
  4. Dixieland: A Modern Day Confederacy

    Also, at least three of your listed presidents are Yankees.
  5. Dixieland: A Modern Day Confederacy

    You are seriously dancing on a knife edge here. This thread is being reported about three times a day. So far you haven't posted anything of substance besides the map, which you deleted, but was reported before deletion and seems to indicate that you are trying to disguise a current political...
  6. Maximum amount of damage possible for the Tirpitz to inflict?

    Probably half the RN, and as likely as not a couple U.S. fast BB.
  7. Maximum amount of damage possible for the Tirpitz to inflict?

    Tying up a major surface battle group, including at least two battleships, four cruisers, and a dozen destroyers, and often a carrier full time, for three years while those ships were desperately need in the Med or Pacific. Forcing the WAllies to dedicate multiple cruisers and often a fast...

    Folks, drop it. Now.
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    ATL 2016 things are actually pretty good, even in the German statelets. As mentioned in one of the postscripts it was 1977 before plague deaths in Europe, OUTSIDE of Germany, dropped below 1,000 per year.
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    You are assuming that any country run by a leadership with two active brain cells would take immigrants from a country where Pandora's Box has been opened and all the worst stuff set free. A4 troops and the European peacekeepers in the German statelets received Combat Duty Pay stacked with...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Not really. There are some locally done awards, but the overall result of the War, the failure of the vote in Palestine, and the post war world has mainly prevented the emergence of the Jewish identity as it exists IOTL, Virtually tge only countries with substantial Jewish populations are the...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Somewhat.
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    If that had been the case the situation would have been very similar to OTL. Those rare areas that actually rose up after the landing (notably Lyon) were treated very differently from those where the national forces, and even local militia dug in and fought the WAllied forces. Pretty much...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There are ATL version of the UN based organizations, but the trade issue isn't quite the free for all of OTL. None of the major players run the sort of trade deficients that are common IOTL. PArt of that is due to the very different conditions around oil exports from the Middle East, but it also...
  15. AHC: Dutch-Wank

    A THREE YEAR necro? Really? You have been her long enough to know better than this. You also had to positively click through the warning that this was a three year old thread. DO NOT do this again.
  16. Twilight of the Red Tsar

    Take good advice. Alternate History =/= Alternative History and conspiracy mongering.
  17. How "anti-science" was Nazi Germany?

    You already have a recent kick for racism. Really want to push your luck here?
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Never saw that term before. It is very close, but on steroids ATL. There is a lot of argument about what to call the war. There is a school of thought that tries to call it the 2nd Thirty Year War (dating it back to the initial Japanese aggression in 1931), some folks call it the Forever War...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Probably more dedicated. Once Japanese troops were captured they tended to become extremely passive. even submissive (they believed that they were dead to their family and their nation so further resistance was pointless, they also received no instruction on how to act after capture). Waffen SS...
  20. Discussion: Comparing British and German industries 1900-1940

    Congratulations. You managed to lose the entire counter argument by starting off with an insult. Play the ball folks.
