  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Hopefully the A4 will never cross that bridge. The good news is that they KNOW where that road leads, and simply won't cross it. Of course any war with the Chinese will result in at least 100 million casualties, so mass death is far from off the table. The USN built the full Iowa class and...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Depends on whether you happen to be the one who dies. The A4 justifies itself based entirely on the horrors of the War and on the fact that the policy works. No major war has occurred outside of the Korean Intervention, and an argument can be made that the Intervention only happened because the...
  3. What if GM sales keep increasing from 1999

    14.5 million what? U.S. auto sales? The initial figure you show (4.6M) is domestic U.S. sales in 1998. Depending on source U.S. sales of new light trucks and passenger cars, for all makes, were 16,531,070 for FY 2014...
  4. What if Chrysler sales increase from 1999

    No, we are not going to play this game with every car maker on Earth. Locked. BTW: You gave Chrysler a 92% market share.
  5. What if GM sales keep increasing from 1999

    Uh... TOTAL vehicle sales in 2014, from all sources, came in at 16.6 million. You are giving GM an 87% market share.:eek: Utterly impossible. As for what it would mean, it would mean that virtually every other manufacturer has gone out of business.
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    To be honest, I never really plotted it out. They managed to avoid the Partition, as much thanks to the generalized revulsion over religious bigotry and extremism as anything else, and have managed to continue thanks to the wealth and education that exists. Beyond that, I didn't even try to...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Since it isn't a real single entity, more of a strong alliance or a set of "special relationships" it can last for a long time, literally hundreds of years. How long it will maintain the sort of tight rein on the world is a very different question. The sort of effort it takes will wear on the...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The A4 view things somewhat differently than the same countries IOTL. For one thing travel out of Germany, actually from most of Western Europe isn't easy. From Germany it is damned near impossible to get a tourist visa to the U.S. or UK, forget about Australia, even Canada has severe...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The comparison to the USSR isn't really a good one. Anywhere the Soviets went, the West followed (as did the Soviets with the West). The West generally was more successful, thanks to more money, more freedom among researchers to go off on tangents, and a more competent, well paid...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The difficult in following India's efforts is the tech. India won't exactly just give the A4 the plans (Mumbai clearly remember the big FU when it came to the Bomb, and that the A4 should, based on effort spent liberating Europe, be the A5), and the equipment is, in its own way, as complex as...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It may not. The relationship isn't that far from what exists IOTL, just from a more dominant political/military position. There are a lot of reasons for the countries to work together and not a lot for them to work at opposites, at least at this point. The key is the commercial aspect of the...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    All the A4 members see themselves are "responsible" for protecting the freedom that cost so many lives to earn and they are all willing to do whatever is necessary to avoid another Reich (i.e. an aggressive expansionist state), wherever it might appear. The way they see their place in this, of...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    If they had the weapons, they had the Ju-688, which was a Reich version of the B-36 that was how they managed to strike on St. Patrick's Day. I'm not sure that the U.S., and especially the UK, would have been willing to wait for the Reich to gather enough weapons to be a threat. Preemptive...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    American culture is... different. Much more internationally assertive, bordering on aggression. It is the biggest player, by far, in the A4, the A4, in turn is effectively the final arbiter on everything on the Planet, although India is a moderating influence, as much thanks to being a fairly...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Lots more dead in the UK, higher losses for the invasion forces, even greater "collateral damage" across FRance and the Low Countries. Bloody mess. Actually, scratch that. Bloodier mess.
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Lingering resentment? No. Anger, bordering on hatred? Got that in stock for immediate delivery. The German microstates ATL are still under what is effectively military occupation. The A4 hasn't mitigated the peace terms one little bit. A total of 11% of each Administrative regions...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Korea was the site of the most significant war since the Reich surrendered, the "Korean Intervention". Basically the loony tunes in Peking decided to have a go at the A4 using Korean/the UN as a proxy. The A4 won, after the use of low yield tactical weapons by the U.S. to destroy a final...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Most of those questions were addressed throughout the T/L. In a quick summation - Virtually all the Jews in Europe were killed. Some survived in Italy, where, as IOTL a number were sheltered by various priests and bishops, not all, or even many, but some. Romania managed to protect some of its...
  19. What happens if an Atlanta class CL runs into a Königsberg

    5"/38 will chop her to pieces at that 8,000 meters. The Special Common will punch through the thickest part of the belt at that range. Even the Common AA will be able to rip her up, just not as comprehensively as the Special Interestingly, despite the Atlantas being justly famed for...
  20. Who would have won a war between Britain and Imperial Japan?

    Really? You get four different thread like this locked in CHAT and figure you can just go elsewhere and fire off more zero thought, zero effort threads to continue to SPAM the Board. Not just wrong, but REALLY wrong. You see that little red blinking light in the corner of your vision...
