  1. Canada/UK decisively wins the War of 1812

    AHHHHH!!!!!!! Massive 8 year old zombie sighted. Sealion(tm)Sturmtiger deployed. Zombie negated.
  2. Did the British do more damage to China or India?

    I was going to ask everyone just to dial back here, but this is clearly political, at least using the accepted definition for what goes into Chat. I can't move to Chat because of the Poll. Locked.
  3. George III killed in 1795

    Don't do this. Just report the undead and move on.
  4. Quick questions for a thread about alt end of WWII in pacific

    Could or would? Huge difference. The U.S. could have annexed All of Japan, Formosa, and South Korea. They had all the guns and freshly demonstrated willingness to use them. Would the U.S. take any of it? The answer clearly is no. The U.S. IOTL even gave back Iwo Jima and Okinawa (from a...
  5. US Army adopts the 3 fire team rifle squad in 1944

    BAR M1918 weighed 16-20 pounds depending on version. The M1919A6 Browning (the version with the buttstock and bipod) weighed 32.5 pounds empty. By comparison the MG34 weighed 26.7 pounds, the MG42 came in at 25.5 pounds, the BREN was 22.8 pounds, the Lewis Gun 28 pounds, the Japanese Type 99...
  6. US Army adopts the 3 fire team rifle squad in 1944

    Nothing too major. It would be useful when they were dealing with bunkers and the added firepower would be useful in the Ardennes (although the Airborne was not, IIRC, routinely equipped with BAR even at the platoon level, and Armored Division dismounts might not be issued it either), but that...
  7. Question regarding Battleships ?

    Great minds my friend. Great minds.;)
  8. Question regarding Battleships ?

    Oh, absolutely. Still it is rather like an automobile. The manufacturer makes a ton of money every sale, but how much would it cost for the car-buyer to make one from scratch?
  9. Question regarding Battleships ?

    The most difficult thing to make is the money. The ship itself is ungodly expensive (the Iowa class ran $100 million each in 1942 dollars or ~$1.7 billion in today's value) and it is just the surface cost. You need to come up with infrastructure that can create all the parts that make the...
  10. WI: SAC Adopts the B-60

    Ya. The BUFF is going to make the Phantom look like a mayfly.
  11. The future of Zionism in a no-Fall-of-France scenario

    Please stop spamming one liner WI.
  12. the roman's go to America

    71 months? Really?
  13. Alternative Militaristic Historicaly Of The Greatery Secondly Worldily Wartimey

    This is the 2nd time you posted this crap. Next time you spend some time in the pits.
  14. Does India Still Eventually Get Partitioned if the Central Powers Win World War I?

    The Central Powers would never have been able to impose a total defeat on the British, anymore than the 3rd Reich was able to in WW II and for the same reasons. The British Isles are invulnerable to invasion. The only hope would be to starve them out, and, as was the case in WW II managing that...
  15. WI: SAC Adopts the B-60

    The B-60 is, in many ways the answer to the classic Question: What happens when you put earrings on a pig? The only weakness using the B-60 as the visual answer is that it wasn't even a good looking pig.
  16. AHC: Make Jar Jar more Awesome

    Have him die gloriously. As soon into The Phantom Menace as practical.
  17. Conspiracy Theories 100 Years Ago

    Now, if Wilson had been smart he would have set it up so he was being bribed by both sides. Dream scenario.
  18. Days of Infamy WHN?

    How kind of the USN to leave everything that could sortie sitting the harbor waiting to be attacked. Even seeing the remaining BB on Battleship Row with the extensive smoke would be a miracle. Sinking them would be beyond that. Golden BB like the Arizona are called that for a reason. I get...
  19. Pacific Ordeal

    I also have to question the existence of a Soviet proximity fuse prior to Mid-late 1945 after the example provided by Rosenberg had been reverse-engineered. Even the designation of the fuse "T-5" matches the series designations for the U.S. pre-production VT fuse project. edit: I have found a...
  20. How Effective were Public Executions?

    Please keep this discussion in the pre-1900 arena. I don't want to lock it but I will if it wanders into modern politics.
