  1. Flag Challenge 100 Voting Thread

    I would recommend no. Last guy who used puppets to manipulate polls and threads is in Coventry, never to return.
  2. WW3: Battlefield Germany 70's-80's

    Avoiding nukes and/or CW (and maybe bio weapons) is just about impossible, however... The first question is exactly when, aty least in fairly discrete periods. 1970-72 - Close fight, probably a draw with almost unimaginable civilian losses across both sides of Germany. 1973- 81 -...
  3. Cascadia Revolt?

    Not a chance on Earth. The U.S. can deploy military forces to Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq. Deploying a few miles from a major group of bases (including it needs to be pointed out, the 75th Ranger Battalion, one of the elite SPECOP forces on the planet). The term that is generally used in...
  4. Cascadia Revolt?

    Welcome to the Board. Please do not bump your own threads unless you are actually adding something. If there is interest the thread will be responded to.
  5. A Detailed Look Regarding CG-verse China

    Die zombie, DIE! With Iron, Blood and Salt I return thee to the Earth to rise no more!
  6. DWBI: The Road Not Taken

    Pre 1900? ????
  7. Captain Philips Dies

    Probably not that much of a change. The U.S. would have upped the charges against the one Somali they took into custody, assuming the scenario played out the same to the point where he was in U.S. hands, and he would, likely as not, be in USP Florence doing natural life or waiting for execution...
  8. IS President Fillmore badly underated?

    It is barely possible that three or four kicks would bring you into some sort of reasonable level of polite behavior. Life, however, is too short for that level of coddling of what seems to be a hard core troll. Banned for trolling straight out of the gate. We divorce you. To...
  9. Mounted Helicopter cavalry

    In 1944 hitting a city was close enough. B-17 strikes sometimes hit the wrong COUNTRY. When you are losing bombers at a rather severe clip any sort of alternative is going to be taken as a strong possibility. Switch out regular HE for a frag warhead, mounts 100 of them on a modified LST and...
  10. Mounted Helicopter cavalry

    All you need to make this work is cold fusion or some other massively powerful power source that is remarkably light and requires almost no fuel. Not really holding out hope on this one.
  11. IS President Fillmore badly underated?

    You will find your experiences here much more pleasant if you refrain from insults. We actually do want to encourage debate without snide comments, especially in this manner. You have FIVE insults or snide remarks in this one thread. If you were not a recently arrived poster you would...
  12. What If: Business Plot Perpertrators procsecuted?

    Someone has to actually commit a crime to be tried, much less executed. The so called Business Plot was a vast amount of hot air being vented by rich idiots who were afraid they wouldn't stay as rich. If they committed a crime than Donald Trump is a terrorist who makes OBL look like a choir...
  13. Jefferson Movement in 1941

    Wasn't going to happen. The U.S. added Hawaii and Alaska because they were clearly strategically important, especially as the Cold War evolved. Rural California and Oregon were already part of the CONUS, no reason to allow additional political power to the West Coast. The addition of states...
  14. Axis Victory

    In that case this thread belongs in ASB. We deal with alternate, yet plausible POD here on the "main" forums. As to your other statements - The British AND American both built better jets than the Luftwaffe had. The P-80 more speed, four times the range and about 20% of the wrench time for...
  15. WI: Germany and Japan weren't ran by psychotic leaderships during WWII?

    If the Axis wasn't run by a pack of genocidal lunatics there wouldn't have BEEN a WW II. At least not as we know it.
  16. DBWI: Theodore Roosevelt didn't win 1912?

    Some people have speculated that without TR's influence the AH/Serbia Crisis of 1914 could have led to a Continent wide war. They point out the degree that Teddy was respected in the diplomatic circles and that he had a remarkable ability to get people to calm down (ironic, given his legendary...
  17. Axis Victory

    There were not "airports" as you seem to imagine them. There were "air fields", and they were exactly that, open paddocks that were relatively flat with the grass mowed (or eaten by sheep). Most WW II fighters, especially early in the war, had what we now call rough field capability and did not...
  18. STAR TREK 1948

    This means, at the least, that Peck doesn't get a chance to do Gentleman's Agreement and Twelve O'Clock High (nominated for the Oscar in the 1st, won for the 2nd). Depending on pre-production timing it might prevent Stewart from his defining role in It's a Wonderful Life. Monroe was under...
  19. How to make an Israel-free Middle East?

    There are a number of issues that you need to address to make this sort of thing work without things turning into a massive bloodbath. Israel tends to obscure the rather serious divisions that run throughout the region and acts as a presence that allows the countries in the region to find common...
