  1. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    NB: The displacements quoted for the German cruisers are from Jane's Fighting Ships 1939. They are the declared standard displacements, not the actual standard displacements that were larger and in the case of the Hipper class considerably larger. I've used the declared standard displacements...
  2. WI: Task Force 16 arrive prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea

    That’s the thing. The IJN didn’t know there was a carrier in the area until Fletcher attacked the invasion force at Tulagi. From what I understand, they thought it was only one. With Lexington not known until she was sighted and confirmed on May 8. Of course 4 carriers and their escorts are...
  3. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    In terms of sheer manpower wasted and lost opportunities of WWII, I've always felt this was one of the biggest. Many in the Ukraine received the germans as liberators from russian bolchevik horror; properly managed, this could have turned these people into allies, creating gods know how many...

    WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    A Yorktown is TOUGH ship. Not because of armor, that is a myth, but because of her cellular construction principles and enormous float reserve that gave the ship crew time to seal off holes and manage damage control. That hull could dissipate and pass through blast very well. What interests...
  5. WI: Gneisenau on Operation Rheinübung?

    If I was the Admiralty? Ignore Gneisenau and focus on Bismarck
  6. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Not as quickly or easily. It's quite possible that without Midway, the Japanese make a second attempt at the Coral Sea, and maybe win this time, and could then go on to take Port Moresby.
  7. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    did the war end early enough for the 1916 olympics to take place? patton was slated for those olympics, to perform in the pentathlon
  8. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    There are some interesting changes in the court here, but there's no guarantee that they will last, especially if Kasich loses reelection and if a few judges die or retire during his successor's term..
  9. Three Realistic CP Victories

    Map 2: The Schlieffen Plan The Schlieffen Plan was a gamble from the start, but had it been executed properly it could have knocked France out of the conflict quickly and averted the two-front war Germany so greatly feared. This of course is another fairly common "turning point" but it's a...
  10. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    All I know that is just like in the OTL Henry VI is a dead man walking, especially if something happens to Warwick this early in the game. The Neville’s from what I read about Them where not a family you wanted to tangle with!
  11. WI: Task Force 16 arrive prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea

    If Yamamoto knows the Hornet & Enterprise are present. Was he aware they were approaching?

  14. Have the BMW M1 Series be as successful as possible

    OTL this are the cars that raced the races that the M1 should have raced.
  15. WI: Task Force 16 arrive prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea

    Halseys Chief of Staff Browning barfs up some critical staff decisions, pisses off the other staff and air wing commanders, and in general degrades the performance of the USN. As my reading of the Pacific war accumulates Im starting to see a pattern in Halseys operations that leads back to...

    WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    As Russia strengthens, line ups may well alter. Mind you, with the German diplomatic brilliance for which they were noted, it will find a way to piss off Britain. Probably through continuance of building up the HSF. Or maybe something else. France Russia may become Russia France. The Ottoman...
  17. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Killing a carrier might have given Nagumo the nerve to stick around and launch additional raids against Pearl Harbor. Destroying the fuel tanks and repair facilities would have been as big a blow as sinking the ships.
