  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There really isn't one. Europe is what IOTL would be called the Third World. France, until the 1990s was more or less a fascist state. Quebec has less interest in independence, partly because the gap economically between the A4/India and the rest of the world was rather stunning up to the 1980s...
  2. PC/WI: Hudson Bay used as a "SSBN Sanctuary"?

    This was actually a scenario in the original Harpoon Computer Game, except it was Soviet subs that had snuck in. It is actually an interesting tactic, one that, AFAIK, the Soviet and then Russian Navy still use in the Sea of Okhotsh and White Sea. Put the boomers in the region and deny access...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Coming soon. South American, India, Vietnam and the Philippines are ATL's version of the Asian Tigers and rebuilt Western Europe. India is arguably the wealthiest country in the ATL world thanks to a smaller defense budget than the U.S. and its resource extraction efforts from the seabed...
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Not intentionally, but most of the major economies (A4, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil, Argentina) are very big on renewable sources, especially solar/wind/geothermal. Oil is seen as a vital military commodity and is mainly used for manufacturing in the major economies (Brazil is...
  5. WI the Pinto was built as originally planned?

    The air intake takes it from f-ing crazy to F-ing brilliant.
  6. WI the Pinto was built as originally planned?

    Now THAT set-up must have been nose heavy as all hell.
  7. WI the Pinto was built as originally planned?

    Pretty sure. Don't think he ever owned a GSX Stage 1. I loved that car. Could spin the wheels by gearing down on the freeway and punching it.
  8. WI the Pinto was built as originally planned?

    That is an impressive bit of car crafting. The Z's engine bay was crowded with the straight six and the struts coming right up into the engine bay. I had a 240 (no smog equipment, at least after I got my paws on it :P) and it was pretty quick as was. With 327 it must have been a beast.
  9. WI the Pinto was built as originally planned?

    Yep. Almost as good as a 327 in a Vega. Buddy of mine had one of those, with a shortened 12 bolt rear axle. Scariest damned car I ever rode in. way the engine was built he had at least 350hp on tap with single piston front disc brakes and 9" drums in back (and of course no ASB, Air Bags, etc)...
  10. WI the Pinto was built as originally planned?

    How about if they keep the fuel cell and drop in a 302?
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Possibly. The 1980s date was, IMO, a reasonable estimate, but an earlier one is certainly possible.
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Don't be silly.
  13. WI: Japan at the Battle of Leyte (Gulf)

    Please don't use the term "Japs" unless directly quoting historic individuals or in the course of writing dialogue where the term would reasonably be expected.
  14. WI: Kamikaze's main focus is bombers over Japan?

    Once you realize they are there and it isn't just an issue of moored mines with command detonation. By then the attacks would have occurred. IMO the swimmers would have been lucky to get 250 landing craft (out of 4,000 swimmers), as much due to "shorts" by the gun line and bombs that hit the...
  15. WI: Kamikaze's main focus is bombers over Japan?

    The Japanese were not entirely blind. They had some recon aircraft and still had 38 fleet subs. The subs were being used for scouting, including off the obvious assembly points on Okinawa and in the Philippines. It is impossible to hide a force the size needed for Olympic. The Japanese knew that...
  16. WI: Kamikaze's main focus is bombers over Japan?

    The Red Army prepared to fight a convention battle at Kursk. The Japanese were preparing for the Alamo writ on a Nation-State scale. Here is the synopsis of the plan for the "frogmen" emphasis mine Some of the planning by the Allies is stunning in its estimates. emphasis mine emphasis mine...
  17. WI: Kamikaze's main focus is bombers over Japan?

    IIRC they finally ran out a couple years back. Still have plenty of Silver Star, DSC, Navy Cross etc. on tap.
  18. Qilai! Qilai! - A History of Modern China and The World

    Really? Seeing someone tortured is your fantasy?
