  1. WI: Biden runs against Hillary?

    Not before the DNC Convention has even begun. Locked.
  2. PC/WI: Longsteet gets to Gettysburg on Day 1 on Hagerstown Road

    Okay. I am sick and tired of having to come into every damned ACW thread and finding that a flame war regarding the capabilities of the British Regular and the Union army is being debated. I am equally sick and tired of having to come in to deal with people referencing continually to other...
  3. No an anti-ship missile modern day can beat Iowa Battleship-class ?

    Oh, I completely agree that PMG can do the job, although I would argue you need the larger 2,000 pound Mark 84 against most targets. Even if you replace the ship's guns with PMG it will still require at least two, perhaps three, full Alpha Strikes to put the same amount of fire (giving the...
  4. No an anti-ship missile modern day can beat Iowa Battleship-class ?

    Actually the 16"/50 is virtually irreplaceable with current tech (although the railgun provides some promise in some applications), although the number of useful scenarios is very low. There is nothing that can match the volume and accuracy of battleship gunfire against a shore target. An Iowa...
  5. No an anti-ship missile modern day can beat Iowa Battleship-class ?

    I was under the impression we were discussing the Iowa class, not a modernized version.
  6. No an anti-ship missile modern day can beat Iowa Battleship-class ?

    If you have a 50,000 ton 880 foot long warship, with the forward 75' and aft 100' sitting in the water and a 100 foot deep air cavity under the rest of the ship, putting all the weight of the vessel stressed against the mid-point of the keel, what would you expect the result to be? How about...
  7. No an anti-ship missile modern day can beat Iowa Battleship-class ?

    Based on some conversations I've had with folks that included "well, I really can't go into that in detail", "I'll say what I can" or "not at liberty to discuss" I have gained the impression that the modern torpedo is a very cleaver little beast and capable of more than many people (at one...
  8. No an anti-ship missile modern day can beat Iowa Battleship-class ?

    Actually the weight of even the largest Soviet Era ASuM at time of strike is lower than the weight of the shell that the Iowa class (and for that matter the South Dakota class) was designed to shed. The speed of a P-700 Granit (SS-N-19) even at high altitude (~2,400 fps) is very similar to main...
  9. Roman Empire 391to 1391

    Normally I would move this, but it would be locked in ASB as being a no content. Please develop a scenario more than one short sentence.
  10. Map Thread XIV

    Don't help.
  11. Map Thread XIV

    1. Utterly no comparison between the posts and your post 2. Your post was reported. The others were not.
  12. Map Thread XIV

    Yoy must have lost your way. Chat is down yonder. That is where political discussions go.
  13. Whats wrong with Kuk army?

    Kick has been reversed after apology was received. Awaiting edit of initial offending post.
  14. Whats wrong with Kuk army?

    Okay. Right amount of force it is. Kicked for a week for Trolling. (see post 34, warning in post 36, and the reply quoted above)
  15. Whats wrong with Kuk army?

    Sort of excessive, don't you think?
  16. What would happen if the coup attempt on 16th July 2016 in Turkey succeded?

    Already have a thread in Chat. Please refrain for posting current politics (and the smoke hasn't even cleared on this one) in any Forum but Chat Locked.
  17. Successful Sealion

    The problem with this scenario is that it requires the UK to be radically different than the one OITL , but for no apparent reason except to push the desired result. The fascist movement in the Uk was, much like the one in the U.S., a pitiful joke. At its absolute peak the BUF had 50,000 members...
  18. US Victory Against the CSA/Great Britain

    Play the Ball, not the man. Not going to let another ACW/Trent Affair/similar get out of hand. Been there done that. Cost us several knowledgeable, albeit very opinionated and quite inflexible on certain subjects, members. Flat not going to happen again.
  19. A World Tilted Upon An Axis

    Uh... Ya. I made it to page 10 of your love letter to Hitler. I will give you credit that you understand you had to strip out everything that made Hitler Hitler in order to continue the narrative (which, BTW, reads like a story written by the Playwright in the movie The Producers "Springtime...
  20. AHC: CNN more like MSNBC

    I thought you meant devoid of viewers and any slight trace of integrity like MSNBC.
