  1. Recovery time from 1983 World War Three

    The survival percentage are almost impossible to estimate 20 years post exchange. As noted, the number of modifiers is so high as to be nearly impossible to lock down. Best case you could see 60-70% survival, with a noticeably reduced life span globably. This is a pure military/civilian C&C...
  2. Recovery time from 1983 World War Three

    God preserve us! A Boy and his Dog? Oh HELL no! Never forget when I saw that movie as a kid. One of my buddies actually stood up IN THE THEATER as soon as the credits started and yelled "I spent two hours of my life on THAT!" (we were all 17-18 at the time). One of the funniest things I have...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That is one body that needs to stay in the grave.
  4. Recovery time from 1983 World War Three

    Pu-239 has a half life of 24,000 years. The generally accepted time for Pu-239 contamination to reach a "safe" level through natural breakdown is 240,000 years The 100 rem an hour fallout plume (fatal dose from short term frank effects is between 500 & 800 rems in a short term) for the 1mT...
  5. Recovery time from 1983 World War Three

    This is one of the things that sometimes brings me up short. Where does this idea that either side will somehow scale the weapon yield to suit a specific target come from? Some U.S. weapons have a variable yield, but that is to allow them to be used both a battlefield weapon as well as a...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Just let it go. He is convinced of his position. As are those of us on the other side. No point in arguing past each other.
  7. Need info Pearl Harbor ship lis

    Your best bet to get this sort of information is to research each ship. It takes a bit of time. This site will provide a abbreviated Tabular Record of Movement, mainly indicating when the ships were in the yard and what squadron they were assigned to at any given time...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I'm sorry. You seem to think that this debate is going to continue. I, along with others, have demonstrated, using multiple official sources, that you numbers are simply incorrect. Here is another source that documents the figures several members have provided...
  9. Need info Pearl Harbor ship lis

    Short version is that the Japanese can't pull it off. Shokaku and Zuikaku are not in commission, the planner believed that the attack required six decks. Soryu and Hiryu are both in the South China Sea to support the final phase of Japan's invasion of French Indochina. There is also the not...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well, sorry you find the work a disappointment. I would, however, be remiss in not addressing one element of your specific response. Losses by any Allied air force prior to March 18 of 1945 are not really germane to the discussion. That was the combat debut of the weapon. Thanks for the...

  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well, thank you. :D If you happen to be closely related to the head of a major studio feel free to mention the T/L at Christmas. :P
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    No, I didn't. Mainly because you data is incorrect. As other have pointed out your source regarding the success of the weapon is incorrect. USAAF records (which have to account for every single aircraft, since someone signed for them) are clear on the point. On the day you use as your...

  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    After Berlin had the reality of nuclear weapons demonstrated as dramatically as was the case ATL, they would start (and, lets just go with, did start) an effort. Didn't really matter. The USSR, with decent, albeit not complete, knowledge of the process managed to do it in four years, no way the...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I was quite aware of it. It is actually mentioned several times. Thanks for the feedback.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reich WOULD have developed nukes if they had had the time. The first nuclear strike took place less than a year before the effective obliteration of the Reich. There was no way for the Reich to create a weapon and reasonable delivery system in that time. The Reich did reverse engineer things...
  18. D-Day Fails but US atom bomb wins WWII in Europe

    The Reich didn't HAVE 15 cities that could be bombed out. That was part of the problem. Germany had been destroyed, many cities had been struck multiple times, to the point that reconstruction was barely even attempted. Harris was always looking for targets where he could "dehouse" large...
