  1. T.L.I.A.D A chimp is not done till he quits! The planet of the apes t.v. series!

    This sort of set-up won't work here. You are limited to 3 images a day, as a general guideline to save server space and bandwidth. While this has some wiggle room to it, 50+ photos is well beyond the "wiggle". Not sure what you were aiming for, but this thread is locked. If you change it up...
  2. WI: US in Falklands, 1982

    Dammit, he knows! Activate Protocol 16-Omega.
  3. Nuclear Weapons w/o WWII?

    There really isn't an easy answer mainly because of the multiple POD that would be required to have no WW II. The conditions that led to War created the modern world. If the war simply waits a couple years the answer is very different than if the POD involves a Communist Germany that is...
  4. WI George Zimmerman lynched?

    Could move this to Chat. But since it is pretty much 5,000 gallons of gasoline and a road flare, probably better to nip it in the bud.
  5. Pacific War Redux

    I will be restarting it in a new thread just so people don't have to read through all the comments again to catch up on the narrative.
  6. WI: US in Falklands, 1982

    No Argentine aircraft would have gotten within 200 miles a U.S. CBG. The U.S. engaged and the war would have ended that day. The post-war Western Hemisphere political environment would be a flipping nightmare
  7. WI: US in Falklands, 1982

    What? No... WHAT?
  8. Germany vs. The US?

    The aircraft literally could not make it that high. Max ceiling in a clean configuration was 33,600 ft. Even if the 39k figure is genuine, which is more than a little questionable (I can see him being 9,000 feet over the rendezvous altitude, which was 9,200 feet, as had been the case for the...
  9. Implications of a Nazi A-bomb

    Actually it wouldn't even come close. The shells for the Gustav & Dora were only ~15,000 pounds. The Fuel air weapons are at that weight or considerably heavier, and they are bombs, not shells (the MOAB's filler is 12x the weight of Gustav's HP shell). Somewhere around 80-90% of the weight of a...
  10. Germany vs. The US?

    Given this scenario the U.S. loses. Simple. I suspect you are already aware of that. BTW: Did Japan somehow disappear?
  11. Germany vs. The US?

    It could be done, albeit with almost unbelievable difficulty, from Africa. Take at least 10 years to set it up and God knows how long to manage the fight. Figure a door kick no sooner than the mid-late 50s. Losses would be catastrophic. The question is why they would chose to do it. Without...
  12. Germany vs. The US?

    Problem with this is that bombers need to be escorted. You also can't send single aircraft (or trios as was done over Japan) without having thoroughly destroyed the Luftwaffe in advance. Bomber Command took hellish losses flying in singletons at night. After the first couple weapons the Reich...
  13. Germany vs. The US?

    What is the situation of the UK? Without the UK, any invasion of Europe is, if not impossible, highly unlikely.
  14. Implications of a Nazi A-bomb

    More like: "Excellent! Now, manufacture a gun barrel and mount it on a rail car so we can fire it at the English."
  15. Implications of a Nazi A-bomb

    What is initially the work of genius eventually becomes the task of craftsman. A better example is that the USSR, despite have more or less a full set of plans/research dropped on them by the GRU, took four plus years to replicate the Gadget. Another excellent example is the UK, which...
  16. Implications of a Nazi A-bomb

    It wasn't just figuring out the theory, or even acquiring sufficient fissile material, both of which are minefields of their won. You have to develop the proper method for creating the initial implosion. That was done by Dr. George Kistiakowsky (a Ukrainian/Russia emigre who fought for the...
  17. Best Post War British Prime Minister?

    And this is why you shouldn't flaunt the rules. Kicked for week.
  18. WI: B-70 Valkyrie Enters Service

    Difference of course being that an Ohio class can actually perform its deterrent mission.
  19. Which campaign had a better chance of winning: McCain/Palin 2008 or Romney/Ryan 2012?

    Political Chat thread. Can't move due to poll. Locked.
