  1. AHC: Hostile German Troops in Washington DC

    War of 1812 is the "easiest". Have a detachment of "Hessian" mercenaries as part of the force that burned Washington. The laws forbidding mercenaries in the British Army were passed until 1819.
  2. AHC: Britain on the brink in 1944

    Since it is a comedy, they seem to be on the right track.
  3. WI: US Builds A Wall Across the Mexican Border in the 2000s

    This is, at least, the third current event subject you have posted in post 1900. Couching it as happening a few years back does NOT, in any way alter the fact that it will become a current events discussion. Enough. Official Warning to cease and desist.
  4. Best Looking Fighter of All Time .

    Just to forestall all the rest of the various MMA and video game images undoubtedly waiting in the wings... DO NOT do it. Just don't.
  5. Which Allied power did Nazi Germany have a better chance against solo?

    Crete was a unique situation, not the least because it eliminated most of the airborne forces necessary to pull it off. It also made extremely clear the utter necessity to kill the enemy before they can consolidate. MAlta is another scenario that requires the Luftwaffe to actually succeed in...
  6. Which Allied power did Nazi Germany have a better chance against solo?

    Assuming you are using July 1, 1940 as your start date (since France would otherwise be a gimme as the answer) you have the next to impossible and the utterly impossible. Starting with the U.S./UK (including Commonwealth?) combo. Utterly impossible. The Reich has absolutely no hope of...
  7. Saving Khrushchev from Being Ousted

    Closed at OP request.
  8. Japan post-Olympic

    No Bomb doesn't automatically equal Olympic. What is very likely is that Olympic is delayed due to the October 1945 Typhoon that smacked Okinawa, including the assembly area for about 1/4 of the total invasion force, the airbases that were going to provide a decent amount of the counter-air...
  9. AHC: 3 heads of state in one day

    U.S. November 22, 1963. JFK shot and killed, LBJ's plane crashes on takeoff. Speaker of the House John William McCormack is sworn in as POTUS. ninja'd by TPL99!
  10. What If Hitler and Chamberlain Became Lovers

    I'm going go against my initial choice and just give you a warning and lock this thread. Your warning bin is now empty. Might want to keep that in mind.
  11. WI: Japanese Guerilla War After August 1945

    Looks like Uncle Ho. Yet another blown opportunity for the U.S.
  12. AHC: Rocket interception

    Best bet in that case is one of the flights out of Chu Lai. They had regular JATO there in 1965-66, and used arrested landing on the A-4s on occasion as well (runway was about 4,000')
  13. AHC: Rocket interception

    Me-163 over Germany 1944-45.
  14. WI: Japanese Guerilla War After August 1945

    It would not be pretty. Forces that have just won major conventional wars tend to become hammers. When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
  15. WI: No Atomic Bomb, Invasion of Kyushu Fails

    The IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY thought it was impractical? That may be the biggest insult ever delivered to a proposed military operation in all of human history. The same bunch of lunatics that came up with Operation Ten-Go thought it was impractical? :eek::eek::eek::eek: As an semi-serious...
  16. WI: 1962 Black Friday Terrorist Attack kills thousands

    Closing this until/unless the OP can provide some better sources.
  17. WI Japan loses in WWI - how far can they expand in WWII

    This has gone beyond unlikely to truly Jumping the Shark. There is no point in try to respond to the initial scenario because the ground keeps shifting.
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Permanent underclass of illiterates with no written language. Pretty much what the Antebellum South was like, except the slaves would have no value as property so they could be eliminated as needed. That seemed to be the idea. I have never seen anything that indicates the Party had thought...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Heydrich was the scary one. Brilliant (unlike most of the Party leaders, who had the intellect of a stunned koi fish), utterly amoral, and cold, even among his fellow National Socialist scum. If he had ever taken over... bad juju.
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I didn't do any mockups. Drawing is not inside my skill set. The heavy U.S. tank the "M-92 Chamberlain" was more or less the M-103 Longstreet heavy tank with a beefed up power pack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M103_heavy_tank The "M-47 Sheridan" is more or less an M-60 with a Royal...
