  1. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes III

    What the actual- NEVER post this sort of crap again.
  2. Grumman F5F-3 Skyrocket

    Oooohhh... I LIKE it. Effectively a pure VFM fighter (intentionally, unlike the F4U). Great bomber killer and zoom & boom fighter. Only issue would be compressibility.
  3. Could Britain/France Defeat Japan?

    I had the impression from the OP that it wasn't so much that the Reich didn't exist, but that the British/French forces didn't screw the pooch in September of 1939, advanced into Germany and either defeated the Reich or held them outside of France with the Maginot Line acting as a defensive...
  4. Could Britain/France Defeat Japan?

    Please do detail this. I am especially interested in how they could construct roughly 750 (assuming 1,300 men per ship) 10,000 ton troop ships (Awajisan Maru class) and additional ~100 transports of similar displacement to supply those troops with 6,000+ mile range in under two years. Based on...
  5. AHC/WI: Marshall Philippe Petain leads the Free French

    You necro'd a THREE YEAR OLD THREAD that had no responses? Worse, you added zip to the already long dead and lonely thread by doing so. DO NOT do this.
  6. Could Britain/France Defeat Japan?

    Bad luck or good luck? Of the pre-war U.S. carriers only three saw VJ day Saratoga, Ranger, and Enterprise. Of those three only one didn't end up as razor blades. It took TWO nuclear weapons to finally finish the Sara off.
  7. Could Britain/France Defeat Japan?

    The Japanese would have to be idiots to even try to fight. There would be no reason for them to engage against a major commercial market (not to mention a noteworthy supplier of both foodstuffs and oil). The entire justification by the IJA to taking French Indochina was that it was just...
  8. What if the Luftwaffe used airships

    Zeppelins are BST in the classic sense. They were useful in WW I because the aircraft of the era were poorly armed, with low ammunition capacity (Lewis Guns had 30 round magazines), slow (tapping out at around 120 mph), had very poor rates of climb (the SPAD XIII had a rate of climb of 364 feet...
  9. The impossible victory.

    They are unless there are some modifications to the starting positions. The Reich had no hope of defeating the wold's great economies on its own, not at the same time. Neither Japan nor Italy (which was actually LESS robust economically than Japan) could make up for the vast difference in...
  10. Most competent monarch ever?

    Copycat threads make Sealions cry. Please don't make Sealions cry.
  11. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes II

    You know, there was someone who thought just the way you do knocking around in Europe about 80 years ago. Be EVER so grateful that I am assuming this is just a brain cramp and not what it looks like. You ever pull this again and you are in Coventry. Kicked for a week.
  12. AHC/WI Singapore of the Caribbean

    Jesus wept. Please DO expand on how the culture in Singapore is superior. Considering you were already kicked before for racist posting of this kind before the result should be fascinating.
  13. WI/AHC: D-8 forms into an international alliance?

    Uh... Iran allied with just about any other Islamic State flat isn't happening. The Sunni/Shi'a mutual loathing is simply too great to overcome.
  14. Best Compact, 5-passenger British Car of 1969 to send to the USA?

    How about one that starts at least three times out of four attempts? Make it the most reliable non-Rolls to ever reach U.S. shores. Oh, and a negative ground electrical system would be nice, so folks don't burn up the wiring harness when they try to jump start it.
  15. Map Thread XIII

    somebody started the next one so...
  16. Germany Doesn't DOW US After Pearl Harbor AND Ceases All U-boat Operations

    They lose the war, probably within a few months either way. This allows the UK to resupply and rearm at will with Lend-Lease still able to pour in materials and weapons from across the Commonwealth as well as the United States. It also allows the UK to provide virtually unlimited support to the...
  17. Map Thread XIII

    You are really playing with fire around here. Damned near every post you make gets reported. You know it still isn't too late to get Banned for trolling straight out of the gate. The game here isn't seeing just how far you can push. It never ends well.
  18. WI: Donald J. Trump, 2016 Democratic nominee

    Nope. Current politics. NOT going to get a dog-pile started in here. Took a week to get the blood out of the floor last time.
  19. Atlantic/Pacific 46

    Maybe Depends on how many aircraft manage to get through No, although it would be considerably more difficult than earlier models. This presumes that the build quality improves to the point that it won't simply sink before it reaches the Atlantic. Depends on the version of F-80...
