  1. Pacific Ordeal

    The Baltic States have been reoccupied by the Soviets.
  2. Pacific Ordeal

    I will start using Blue text to indicate a new story post starting now. This will make the locating of new story posts somewhat easier. (I am not a fan of the "story only" and separate comment threads since they seem to impede discussion rather than enable it) As always, comment are...
  3. Dixie: A Confederate Victory TL

    You were kick back in August for exactly this sort of crap. This will be kick # 5. Last chance kick. Please keep it in mind when you return.
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Yes there will be.
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There is some unrest in what is OTL Pakistan and Bangladesh along with issues with the Sikh community. These come and go, but the issue with the Muslim part of the population is always a serious concern. It is a bit of a ticking bomb. The biggest issue as far a the Reich and nukes is that they...
  6. Pacific Ordeal

    Here is something new. As always, comments are encouraged. .Preface While every war has, virtually by definition, surprises, either of the tactical or strategic variety, World War Two stands out for the sheer number of improbable events that marked it nearly from the onset. The rapid...
  7. WI: 9/11 Plotters Escape the US

    Only if you prefer to be ingested into an engine or cut in half by the tail to auguring into the ground and failing in your mission. (Do you still get 70 virgins if you wimp out at the end?:confused::confused:) The targets were not that large, even the Pentagon required a controlled terminal...
  8. No surprise at Pearl Harbour- likely outcome?

    The version with armor was export only. USAAF P-36A, which was the only version present at Pearl, did not include armor. The aircraft was being transitioned to training commands as quickly as P-40B/C could be brought into the inventory so modifications to improve combat performance were not...
  9. No surprise at Pearl Harbour- likely outcome?

    The P-36A was still clearly inferior to the P-40B in just about every area: Armament: 1x.50 cal and 1x.30 cal vs. 2x.50 cal and 4x .30 cal Top speed: 300 mph vs. 352 mph Range (on internal fuel): 537 miles vs. 730 miles Climb to 15K was 4.8 minutes vs 5.2 minutes for the P-40B was...
  10. No surprise at Pearl Harbour- likely outcome?

    Actually Enterprise had her full air wing (short one F4F that was flown off to make up for a landing loss to the Marine half squadron) of 35 SBD, 18 TBD and 16 F4F. Lexington was running light, with 30 SBD, 12 TBD and 16 F2A-3. Still, it is best for both of them to stay the hell out of the way.
  11. If there is no nuclear bomb, how many world war would happen?

    Bioweapons can be a nightmare. End of world potential. Extremely cost effective system. Problem with them, until fairly recently, is that the more effective they are, the more danger they present to the user. This has become somewhat less of an issue with genetic engineeing. Chemical weapons...
  12. How could America get a socialist president?

    Every time someone trolls on AH.com a baby sealion cries. Please don't make baby sealions cry.
  13. No surprise at Pearl Harbour- likely outcome?

    It depends, more than anything else, on the timing. Ideal, IMO is "high degree of confidence" about 20:00 December 6th, but not absolute confirmation of location. That is more than enough time to move aircraft to dispersal fields, get them armed and ready, get the shore AAA batteries set-up...
  14. Escalation in the war aganist ISIS.

    What the hell is going on here? Okay. Mass murder is NOT an acceptable thing to advocate here. Using a nuclear weapon crammed with innocent civilians, many of whom are effectively prisoners, is mass killing Kicked for a week.
  15. Escalation in the war aganist ISIS.

    For obvious reasons I am locking this disaster.
  16. Escalation in the war aganist ISIS.

    Old school? For who. the Mongols? Jesus Christ, if you are this upset (and again, I get it, this is an appalling situation) you shouldn't be posting. Revenge fantasies are not acceptable here. You are getting away with only a kick solely because you made clear that this would not be a...
  17. Escalation in the war aganist ISIS.

    WTF? Not advocating it... but? I was originally going to go with a kick, I understand emotions are running extremely high and all that until I read your second comment. We divorce you. To Coventry with you.
  18. Escalation in the war aganist ISIS.

    Good God! Only the fact that you have a clean record over seven plus years kept of the 14:20 to Coventry. Kicked for a week for advocating mass killings.
  19. What if the attack on Pearl Harbor was an utter disaster?

    Of course this would require no WNT, so everything would be so vastly different that you would need an Atlanta class CLAA to hold off the plane sized butterflies.
  20. how would you fare in "the man in the high castle"

    Like the vast majority of Americans on the Board I would never have been born.
