  1. WI: Soviet Invasion of Honshu

    Unlike FDR, who Stalin snookered in the last year of his life, Truman despised Stalin and trusted the Soviets as far as he could throw them. He was unalterably opposed to the Soviets getting a piece of the Home Islands, understanding that the maneuvering for position in the post-war world was...
  2. American/German Cold war

    Actually, I didn't fight any of them. :D Germany was fortunate that von Braun managed to get the V-2 in operation. Brilliant man, if somewhat morally flexible. Of course they spent more to get a weapon that could land one 2,000 bomb on English soil than the U.S. spent on both Manhattan...
  3. WI: Soviet Invasion of Honshu

    Assuming the idea doesn't send Truman into orbit? Assuming that (and since Truman is reputed to have told Stalin that if one "Russian" soldier set foot on the Home Islands he would drop a nuclear weapon down the Kremlin's chimney, that is a big assumption) and accepting that the Japanese...
  4. Japanese Invasion of Alaska and Hawii

    The Alaskan MAINLAND? No chance, no way, no day. The closer of the two Aleutian Islands the Japanese occupied, Kiska, is 950 miles from Bristol Bay and 1,400 miles from Anchorage. To put that into a bit of perspective, that is further than Washington DC is from the Colorado border and is almost...
  5. American/German Cold war

    Everything depends on what the UK does. The reality is that Hitler would never have kept any deal with the British (he never kept ANY deal a second longer than it pleased him, with Barbarossa being the absolute best example). That being the case the only question is exactly what condition...
  6. WI: Soviet Invasion of Honshu

    More or less impossible. The Soviets had nowhere near the necessary sea lift to pull it off. Even Hokkaido would be a huge stretch, and would only be possible if the war up until August 1, with the USN having utterly obliterated the IJN, American invasions having pushed Japan all the way back to...
  7. WW2 after a Nazi victory in Russia

    For the Reich to defeat the USSR is a REALLY tough scenario to construct. I spend a considerable amount of time trying to come up with one before my T/L and I am still not entirely satisfied with the scenario I used. There is simply too much ground for the Heer to cover, not just in depth of...
  8. WI: All Nazi Party members executed after WWII

    Okay, that's THREE Bans in four pages. Clearly this thread is chum for insane revenge fantasies. Locked.
  9. WI: All Nazi Party members executed after WWII

    Wow. It isn't every day you get to Ban a Canadian. Usually you guys are, well, sane. Guess you need exceptions to every rule. We divorce you. To Coventry with you.
  10. WI/AHC USSR has a Working Lunar Mission?

    Die zombie, DIE! with Iron, Blood and Salt I return thee to the grave to rise no more!
  11. WI: All Nazi Party members executed after WWII

    Just about anything is an awesome basis for a Monty Python sketch.:D
  12. WI: All Nazi Party members executed after WWII

    Well, there is a bit of a difference between the two. The vast majority of the Original Americans died from accidental exposure to European diseases. Not that the early explorers would have really cared, but it was not intentional, or even a matter of indifference since the entire concept of...
  13. Napoleon's Victory [LONG]

    Hope you stay around to post. Please don't Necro.
  14. WI: All Nazi Party members executed after WWII

    Wow. Murdering in the most brutal manner possible 2 million people as punishment? Revenge? Hmmm... Ya' that's genocide. See ya. As a farewell thought, think about this: Oskar Schindler was a member in good standing of the Nazi Party. You would have, happily it seems, have worked him to...
  15. Larger American Army in WW2

    Actually, U.S. Census data indicates 16.1 million served during the war. http://www.census.gov/prod/1/gen/95statab/defense.pdf Page 366 Table 569 Not sure why I recalled it at 18 million. Regarding reducing food production this is one of those "wolf at the door" actions that can be...
  16. World without Islam

    As to the original question, the butterflies of this are so large as to be impossible to calculate. You have just lost one of the world's great religions. So much of the history of the West pivots around Islam that the minds reels at the concept of its loss As just one example: In the...
  17. World without Islam

    Huh? Terrorism =/= Islam. I will assume you just REALLY phrased this badly because none of your other posts seem to be bigoted crap. You only get one warning for this sort of thing. This is it.
  18. Larger American Army in WW2

    Wasn't really possible without radically altering the way things were being done (and still are). The U.S. was near the end of its tether as far as replacements. A significant number of American men had to be deferred to work in critical industries (II-A/B)and in agriculture (II-C) the...
  19. WI The US won in Vietnam

    More like survived. One of the real tragedies, perhaps the greatest, regarding the Vietnam War is that nobody won. The North wound up with the ground, which is "winning" for what it is worth. It also wound up with an utterly devastated economy and country that to this day is grievously...
  20. WI The US won in Vietnam

    Two Bans in less than four pages. over Vietnam. Good Christ people. The was ENDED for the U.S. in 1973, ended overall in 1975. That was 38-40 YEARS ago. Get past it folks. If you can't post in a civil manner about something that happened before around 3/4 of the members here were even...
