  1. If Japan had occupied Hawaii in 1941

    True. Of course the IJN couldn't know that. They also did work a certain percentage of the time, just a REALLY lousy percentage.
  2. If Japan had occupied Hawaii in 1941

    I think I am already about as intense on this as I can get without going incandescent. :p To the OP: Japan can't do it. Quite literally impossible. 1. Politically there is no combination of circumstances that would persuade the IJA to move sufficient forces out of China to even attempt an...
  3. Not Our Hour

    "The polls have now closed in California, and CNN can now project that William Jefferson Clinton has been reelected to a second term as President of the United States. "The issue was never seriously in doubt as the President carried at least 36 states with over 400 electoral votes and...
  4. Not Our Hour

    "Shaw. " Today, after weeks of debate the U.S., following what has been reported to be fierce internal debate across the Intelligence Community, brought forward the best evidence yet that Iraqi senior government officials bankrolled the attack on the President, the First Lady, the Vice...
  5. AHC Britian and France join the ACW

    I am disappointed that someone chose not to listen to what I thought was a very clearly stated warning. Canada would be BETTER OFF if it had been attacked, defeated and conquered? Normally that sort of nationalist trolling would be a warning on the first offense. However you chose to do it...
  6. Not Our Hour

    October 9, 1996 -tine Amapour for CNN. Bernard Shaw turns to the camera. He face is grave. "That was our chief Middle East Correspondent, Christine Amapour. "She has, through sources connected to the Israeli government, confirmed an earlier AP report regarding the assassination attempt on...
  7. AHC Britian and France join the ACW

    Okay. Enough. I have enough complaints out of this thread that I could fill the new HoI in half an hour. Worst part is that they are, by and large, on point. Y'all need to start playing the ball, not the man. No more belittling, accusations (founded, report, unfounded, just stop), sniping, or...
  8. France goes V/STOL for carriers 1960s

    Biggest weakness of V/TOL is range and payload. 1960s helicopters were fairly limited on all parts of the flight envelope, great for short hops, less so for any sort of range. (to a degree this is still the case, one of the major weaknesses in today's USN is in long range, high loiter time, ASW...
  9. AHC Britian and France join the ACW

    I REALLY wish a few folks in here would grow the hell up. It will prevent me from coming back in here and doing things that would be unfortunate. Really, REALLY tired of playing referee for this petty ass stuff.
  10. DBWI Trump doesn't drop out before the New Hampshire primary

    Nope. You might have noticed the "No Current Politics" on the description of this forum. Or not. Locked.
  11. AHC: San Francisco as America's most important west coast city

    The easiest way is, unfortunately ASB, or at least near ASB. No 1906 Quake/Fire. Before San Francisco was effectively destroyed by the firestorms that followed the Great Quake LA was an afterthought. San Francisco was THE City on the West Coast. Population of SF in 1900 was ~350,000, LA was...
  12. DBWI: Gandhi as a pacifist?

    I issued a warning to you regarding Necro'ing old threads 22 HOURS before you did it again. Okay. Guess it didn't sink in. You are kicked for a week. During this time you will be unable to post. Strongly recommend that you take warning to heart in the future (and kicks too).
  13. No Southern Strategy: The Political Ramifications of an Alternate 1964 Election

    Good idea. Don't derail the thread with your personal hobby horse. That is called trolling and it is a BAD thing.
  14. Cuban Missile Crisis like scenario in the mid 1950s

    Not to mention a number of late war piston engined fighters like the P-51, P-82, and Corsair, all of which were still in inventory, at least with NG units. The real killers, of course would the the F-94 (with its unusual rocket barrage system) and F-89 and (in 1956) F-102 with their Falcon...
  15. Cuban Missile Crisis like scenario in the mid 1950s

    In 1955 the Soviets had, in total, 200 weapons. The U.S. had 2,400. The Soviets might have managed to get 20 bombers (mostly M-4 Bison, the Tu-4 wasn't going to have much of a chance against the defenses that NORAD had in place) to the U.S., none of which would reach home. The M-4 lacked the...
  16. AHC: Matilda II as the main British tank

    Dear God. Not another one.
  17. German amphibious preparations observed 1939?

    Don't. I understand your feelings regarding the main T/L. That is not license to troll this thread or any other. If anything it weakens your critique.
  18. WI M3 Lee was the main allied tank?

    Can we call Rommel's ghost up, along with Monty's and ask them which tank was the absolute beast in the Western Desert? The design was a stopgap and everyone knew it. 13 months from fresh sheet of paper to production. mopped the floor with the Africa Corps, which was really all it needed to do...
  19. German amphibious preparations observed 1939?

    Oh, you SO do not get it. You are, to be kind, transparent. Do your own research.
  20. German amphibious preparations observed 1939?

    No you aren't. You are, as was the case the last time you floated one of these, looking for enough support (and hoping that folks will spend time doing extensive research that you can then apply without having to put in any effort to justify your upcoming posts in the main T/L. I figured...
