  1. Operation Sealion 1944

    It also ignores the fact that the vast majority of Heer armor was still Pz IV and even Pz III (TOTAL Panther production was ~6,000 with less than 500 ever being present on the West at any one time, whileTiger/Tiger II came in under 2,000,), along with a mixed bag of upgunned French tanks and...
  2. Operation Sealion 1944

    Assuming you use the A-A timeline as a base, there is no chance on Earth that anyone would have tried it, much less succeeded. The U.S. did have still a serious air campaign going, at least as strong as IOTL, meaning several THOUSAND heavy bombers and a similar number of fighters and Fighter...
  3. Any way for Britain to reconquer America?

    It appears that you have spent most of your time, at least as far as active participation, in Shared Worlds. The sort of snippy dialogue that is generally not reported in there DOES get reported here in the regular Forums. I would strongly recommend a more polite tone in the future.
  4. Eugenics Without Nazi Germany

    This isn't Chat. You don't get half the slack in the regular Forums that you get in there. Since you were already warned once today, clearly that would be a waste of typing. Since I abhor waste, let's go up a level. Kicked for a week.
  5. Germans take Moscow

    Actually a very valid point, but you shouldn't have been a jerk about expressing it
  6. Keep Five Points as an existing neighbourhood

    Oops, wrong. A touch more civility would be a VERY good idea.
  7. Japanese Alaska after 1905--Effect on Second World War?

    Zero probability event. Skippy the ASB, Q, and all the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men couldn't make it happen. The U.S., to start with, acquired the area 72 years earlier. If it hadn't the chances that the Americans AND the British would allow the Japanese that much territory in North...
  8. WI: Alexander the Great reaches China

    Back to the grave zombie! With Blood, Salt & Iron I bind thee to the Earth to rise no more!
  9. Bismarck sinks Hood, POW & Rodney

    Back to the grave zombie! With Blood, Salt & Iron I bind thee to the Earth to rise no more!
  10. ??Alaska Purchased by Japan??

    Well, the Japanese had barely been dragged kicking and screaming out of isolation a decade before the U.S. purchased Alaska. Japan didn't have the hard currency to buy much of anything at the time.
  11. WI: "Hill Street Blues" was cancelled in Season One?

    I don't think that any of the regulars on the show actually did that much besides Dennis Franz outside of HSB. Most of them were, at best character actors before and after. David Caruso was barely in the series. His part as the leader of the Shamrocks was pretty much a throwaway. That was...
  12. Magnum Force: a what if

    The .44 does its intended job very well. It was never meant to be a standard police sidearm, when it was introduced, and for decades afterwards, police couldn't even carry .357 Magnums in most jurisdictions (IIRC LAPD didn't allow officers to carry .357 as standard issue until the early 70s). I...
  13. WI More automation of aircraft carriers

    Warships have a good deal of redundancy built into crewing. Automation is a wonderful thing until it breaks, and it will ALWAYS break when you need it most. You need people to take over when that happens. There is also the harsh, if unstated, reality that we are talking about a WARship. Wars...
  14. List of G-20 members.

    Oops, wrong. Trolling straight out of the box is one of the Eight ways to Crash Land. Thanks for stopping by. Don't miss the train. You are Banned. We divorce you. To Coventry with you.
  15. WI: Rumsfeld Sends More Troops to Tora Bora

    Wow. Isabel of Castile would have loved you. This sort of unreasoning bigotry is one of the reasons that AQ and its ilk can recruit so successfully. Kicked for a week. Leave your hatred at the door when you come back. BTW: The theory on the Cole is tin foil hat territory.
  16. Decades of Darkness

    One last time, this is NOT your Thread stop acting like you are the authority about it. You have been asked, told, and now warned on the subject. Give the author the respect he is do for God's sake.
  17. AHC: Less War Crimes denial/controversey in Japan regarding WW2

    Anybody else care to do some War Crime denial before I clean the Banhammer? :mad::mad::mad:
  18. AHC: Less War Crimes denial/controversey in Japan regarding WW2

    Actually in many cases they were forced at gun or bayonet point, and the ended their time in bondage due to one or the other as well. This is two Bans due to War Crimes denial in this thread. That may be a REALLY depressing record. We divorce you. To Coventry with you. Banned.
  19. AHC: Less War Crimes denial/controversey in Japan regarding WW2

    I tend to do little humorous paragraphs when I ban people. You however disgust me to a level that has knocked the humor right out of me. We divorce you. To Coventry with you. Banned.
  20. Alternate Midway - the US Runs Up the Score

    Interesting idea, although how much better the U.S. could do at Midway is really open to question. They sank all four large carriers, along with a heavy cruiser and crippled a second cruiser. Yamamoto is too far away, and the Invasion force is in the wrong direction to support a strike. As an...
