  1. AHC: Make Poland Into A Destation Of Abortion Tourism

    So not a post-1900 subject.
  2. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    Once again, it depends. What is the deal with the USSR? Status quo antebellum, including the same shipments of materials? Does the Reich get all of Poland? Does it get increased shipments of materials? Did it gain additional territory? Baltic States? Western Ukraine? Territorial gain provide...
  3. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    To see the prevailing wind patterns at that latitude all you need to do is watch weather patterns as they cross the Northeast U.S. and Canada. London & Berlin are slightly north of Calgary. Storms come out of the Denmark straight and cross Northern Europe (BTW: this is why the Allies knew that...
  4. PC: US buys Hong Kong from UK?

    The British never OWNED Hong Kong. They had a lease. The lease expired in 1997. If the U.S. had the same lease, same result.
  5. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    They were. I would, however, note that in this scenario, the defenders would be much better armed, but would also need to fortify a larger area and with a building timelimited time. While there is no real need to build a super dense belt that covers every inch of the European Continent, the...
  6. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    Again, working with only half the information since the terms for the Soviet separate peace (which is a polite term for surrender) are not known... If the Reich get strategic depth in the East, the Strategic Bombing campaign is in trouble (this assumes that all of OTL's occupied Western Europe...
  7. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    The problem with any landing in a Reich controlled Europe (although this is somewhat dependent on the sort of peace that exists in the East) is that the Heer can create a defensive belt that is close to unbreakable, assuming Hitler can be kept amused elsewhere and not divert materials for the...
  8. How many Allied (but non-French) butterflies need to flap?

    Realistically the greatest difference would be to keep the BEF mainly at home, along with most of the Fighter Commands assets. The British Army lost enough equipment to fit out three Corps (i.e. a formation 50% larger than the 8th Army) and suffered ~12,000 KIA, along with 41,000 POW (WIA...
  9. Furutaka-class cruiser rebuilt as Light cruisers?

    Doesn't much matter in the end. The reduction in firepower in broadside is 373 pounds, range is, in practical terms, identical given the state of IJN radars (anything at much past 20K is more luck than skill). Navweaps notes that the 15.5cm had a much tighter dispersion than the 20cm/50 gun, so...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Very true. Of course people, especially countries coming out of a victorious, brutal war, screw up in the most baffling manners.
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I've done some of these across the thread. Answers depend on how clever I'm feeling at the moment
  12. AHC: George McGovern wins in '68 and has successful presidency.

    The ASB land and gives everyone a bottomless beer keg. Which is actually MORE likely than McGovern having a successful Presidency.
  13. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    Both sides had plenty of CW. The U.S. alone had 30,000 TONS of CW agents, mostly Mustard and Lewisite. There was always a MAD dynamic regard CW (which, BTW, was why it wasn't used).
  14. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    Hopefully you will not use it to defeat my plans in North Africa. :P
  15. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    The real underlying question is just how far the WAllies felt they could trust Hitler. They never really trusted the Soviets, but the Soviets also hadn't made a deal, broke it, made another, broke it, and then made a third deal and broke it (Austria, Czechoslovakia, and finally the USSR)...
  16. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    Ooh! I've become an adjective. :D
  17. How many colonies could the USA nab during WWI?

    The U.S. really didn't want any territory in Africa or the Asian mainland There was even a push for the U.S. to have the Palestine Mandate instead of the British IIRC, and the U.S. didn't just say no, it said HELL no. The U.S. might have taken the Marshalls/Marianas Mandate, along with German...
  18. No Meth = no Blitz?

    Don't know for sure. Very possible that you did have some break-downs in discipline. There is also the simple reality that armies really are not big fans of soldiers getting medications through secondary sources.
  19. Midway First

    For the time? They would be pretty impressive NOW. Place was a hedge hog.
