  1. AHC: Christian south Europe, Pagan north?

    Pagan zombie sighted. Thor en route. Mjolnir released. Situation normalized.
  2. WI: Flight 93 Keeps Going for Washington: Does It Get Shot Down?

    Conspiracy theories are an excellent way to get a one way ticket to Coventry. Keep it in mind.
  3. What if all countries had to use Nordic Cross style flags?

    For some reason a lot of reports have come in requesting this thread be moved. While it is in the "wrong" forum, it also has been here for four years. I an invoking the "Grandfather Clause" for that reason. Happy Flag making.
  4. Map Thread XII

    Has there been a coup? If not lay off the instructions and demands.
  5. U.S. to annex Japan post WW:II

    Zombie mailing a letter observed. Postal Inspectors with flamethrowers dispatched. Letter saved. Zombie negated.
  6. Could the Australian Aborigines have defeat. the British

    The problem is that indigenous peoples lack the world view to realize that what they see isn't just another new tribal group but the tip of a huge spear. Most tribes at first contact lack words for numbers over 100, many give up at ten or less. The concept of millions of people, more people...
  7. Max US mobilization?

    Any modern top level peer/peer conventional engagement would last under six months. It would have almost unbelievable casualties, but by the end of six, maybe seven, months the two sides would be shot out The problem with this is that no one can make older stuff, not in any sort of...
  8. Max US mobilization?

    The traditional 15-20% figure doesn't work as well as it did during WW II. Farming is very much mechanized, that which isn't can either be handled by a fairly small fraction of the population, or simply left fallow until the end of the war (Strawberries aren't the key to victory and no army...
  9. AHC: Fix Sealion

    Enough already. Debate issues, do not insult people.
  10. WI: Japan does not Surrender after the Two Bombings

    Actually I don't. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=211950 :)
  11. Decapitation strike against the Catholic Church: how would this play out?

    I can never forget the Jesuits. The Society is burned into my mind so deep that there is no escape. :p
  12. WI: Japan does not Surrender after the Two Bombings

    Plan was actually to stop at 3 cities (although as I mentioned earlier, if the Soviets were looking to invade Hokkaido, the U.S. would almost certainly have assisted our Soviet allies by using a weapon on Sapporo (the WAllies did it at Dresden, the Red Army asked for some softening up, well...
  13. Decapitation strike against the Catholic Church: how would this play out?

    /How do you decapitate an organization that is organized down to the individual member of the clergy? EVERYONE has a Holy Oath (capital letters very much deliberate) of obedience to the layers above them. Getting even all the Cardinals would be almost impossible. There have been THREE...
  14. WI: Japan does not Surrender after the Two Bombings

    From time to time you can find mentions regarding Truman and Stalin or high level U.S/USSR representatives discussing this. While details vary they all pretty much agree that the U.S. pointed out that the Pacific was their ocean, and that the best ships the Soviets had in the region were two...
  15. WI: Japan does not Surrender after the Two Bombings

    Depends entirely on who Truman listens to, MacArthur or EVERYONE else. MacArthur was determined to invade and effectively refused to accept any intel that didn't conform to his desires. The rest of the U.S. military establishment was getting increasingly leery of a landing. This would have...
  16. WI: 9/11 Style Attacks Occur in Israel and Not the US

    Israel is effectively on a war footing 24/7. Planes get blown out of the sky as soon as the leave a safe transit corridor and do not communicate with the ATC.
  17. WI: American Tank Doctrine isn't Totally Misguided

    TDs always have a place in combat. The Heer had the Panzerjager and the later Jagdpanther plus the StuG III assault gun, and the utterly overwhelming Jagdtiger with its 128mm (!) gun (happily the Reich only managed to construct 88 of these monsters). The Red Army countered with the Su-85...
  18. AHC: MacArthur is a revered and beloved figure on AH.com

    Interesting thing about MacArthur was that, in WW I, he was beyond fearless. He came out of the War with TWO Distinguished Service Crosses and SEVEN Silver Stars. Having read most of the citations, he should have gotten The Medal at least once, arguably twice (both of the DSC were awarded after...
  19. WI: American Tank Doctrine isn't Totally Misguided

    The Sherman itself was an excellent platform, almost unbelievably versatile (something that is illustrated by the fact that it remained in service well into the 1980s). Even the tank doctrine of the U.S., and to a somewhat lesser extent, the UK, was not unreasonable. The Sherman also afforded...
  20. AHC: President MacArthur

    I'll be in the other room puking up everything in my body, including internal organs, if anyone needs me.
