  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I have never seen it as written policy, but it is the same policy as they extended to France and other conquests. France PAID the Reich 400,000,000 French Francs a DAY during the occupation ($8.3 million per day in 2014 dollars or more than $3 BILLION a year). France also sent around 15% of its...
  2. Who was the "smartest" man in Nazi Germany

    Arguably Goring was the most intelligent. He was also a reasonably good leader, although not in the same league as Hitler. That was, however, over balanced by his addiction issues and various personality flaws, the sum of which made him over-promise and under-deliver since he failed to think...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It isn't that bad. It is only three updates. She should be able to have it for all but a couple hours (unless you read all the comments to the end, then she may not be seeing her screen for a bit).
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Thanks for the kind words. Your perspective on the A4 is correct and is what I hoped to show once I was convinced to add the "to present day" section (if you look at the version in the Finished T/L forum you will see that it stops with the end of the war). Defeating evil changes even the...
  5. AHC/WI: WAllies invade the Cote d'Argent

    Logistical nightmare. Four times the distance to the Channel ports, twice as far to Paris. Outside of useful fight-bomber air cover. Worth noting that at least half of the sorties of fighter bombers were RAF, many of them Spitfires. Can't even reach the landing zones. Typhoons can barely manage...
  6. Question: Could France/GB/USA fall to Communism after the first WWI?

    France is low possible. It would require a number of things to go in the (im)proper direction, starting with Germany going Red. The War ended before any serious risk of the Red Flag being unfurled in Germany. France had a solid Communist political movement, so the seedcorn was there. Britain...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The British had plenty of troops available considering they weren't fighting in the Western Desert and the U.S. was sending troop to British port on the same schedules as IOTL up until the Fall of the USSR. It is well over 150 miles from where the farthest goal for Case Blue hoped to reach at...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    ATL they had never entered Africa (one of the POD I needed to make the defeat of the Soviets work) and had managed to limit Italy's colonization ideas "until victory, then we will take it all". Of course, that little detail never happened. The WAllies own North Africa and the Middle East up...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Mining is always hazardous, especially when done without proper safety equipment. The workers on the Reich created plantations usually get adequate food and even basic medical care (if for no other reason than they are more productive) unless the owner is SS (or just a right bastard), and are...
  10. WI Zachary Taylor doesn't die

    Seriously? Necro and the OP is Banned?
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Survival isn't quite that bad, not in areas where the Reich has achieved its final population reduction goals (in areas where it has not 6 months is about right). There would be some of the plantations what would be fairly benevolent, others much more harsh, much as is the case anywhere you...
  12. DBWI: Japan lost World War II

    If you have people arguing the scenario, than it isn't a well designed DBWI. As I mentioned, they are nearly impossible to really construct well. I would say that 90%+/- of the ones posted are actually meant to be role plays. Just the reaction to the statement about OOC sort of illustrates that...
  13. DBWI: Japan lost World War II

    There IS no OOC stuff in a real DBWI. The enire point is to take a REAL WORLD event and ask want would have happened if it had happened in a ATL (What if: Apollo 11 had made the 1st successful moon landing). The second ou have to use OOC then it is getting into Role Playing. DBWI are...
  14. Slavery used in Civil War peace negotiations

    There are any number of ways to "justify" what happened in the United States during its expansion. Some are simply the truth e.g. The American government took want it wanted and wasn't exactly unique in doing so. These acknowledge reality. Then there is what you just did. It falls under...
  15. DBWI: Japan lost World War II

    BTW: You can't use OOC in a DBWI. That is for roleplaying and games.
  16. DBWI: Japan lost World War II

    How? They were allied with the UK, U.S., AND USSR. They came out smelling like a rose. They got a share of the Reich's tech, some help with their own tech, and all it cost them was a few destroyers.
  17. Fall of Moscow or Fall of Washington

    Lee manages to rout the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg and things might get interesting. There were forts aplenty, but forts are only as solid as the troops manning them. If Meade was utterly routed, things might just get interesting. Now, the question is can you rout Meade's entire Army...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Hitler never trusted the General Staff, which actually was one of his few sensible instincts, senior officers plotted to kill him several times, even before the July 20 Plot (which is butterflied away here). He hated them, in no small part because he, correctly, believed that they thought they...
  19. AHC & WI: American universities gracefully phase out football in 1950s?

    Ya. Why not something simple. Sealion comes to mind. Even in the 1950s college ball was deep rooted, much more so than the pros at the same time.
  20. Question on the Pacific War

    They can be a problem, but more of the irritant variety. The only "professional" forces under their command was one battalion of Philippine Scouts. The rest of the forces included one "regular" Philippine Army division (completed training, full TOE for the Philippine Army, which was far less...
