  1. DBWI: Ronald Kennedy beats Carter in 1980

    I have no damned idea what this is. I know it isn't a DBWI. Since I can't move it, and since it is clearly not what it represents itself to be, I guess the best thing to do is close it. Locked.
  2. What's Your Favourite Type Of Mesoptamia/ Iraq?

    Jeez dude. Enough already. Cease and desist.
  3. Montgomery Chosen As Supreme Allied Commander

    Facts are always so troublesome.
  4. Montgomery Chosen As Supreme Allied Commander

    Actually there were THREE Taffy units (TG 77.4.1,77.4.2, & 77.4.3 aka Taffy 1, 2, 3) in the area, with a total of 450 aircraft (more than the Kido Butai had at Pearl Harbor). Once the aircraft already airborne or ready to launch used their initial weapon load the Taffy 1 & 2 aircraft started to...
  5. Radically different post WW2 US Navy carrier policy

    Who cam up with? Whoever it was should have all the CAD programs taken away, immediately. It would carry what, 1-2 aircraft? To do so it would lose all the interior hull volume need to carry a usful VLS, a properly situated CIC and to gain what? A single fighter, maybe two, at the cost of AAW...
  6. Question: What did the US do to end the Empire (and empires)?

    Once is an accident. Twice isn't. Next multi-year necro gets you a vacation.
  7. No Lend-Lease

    FORTY NINE MONTHS. FORTY NINE. for this? Really. Do we really need to start a regular kick-a-thon to get this Necro crap to stop? I hope not. Locked.
  8. Der Fuhrer battleship converted to carrier

    I am well aware of the Seawise Giant (or whatever name she would up with after being sunk by the Iraqis during the Tanker War, refloated, renamed Happy Giant, and then sold again). She is more or less a gigantic floating oil tank with engines attached. Any resemblance between her and a warship...
  9. WI: Soviets reverse-engineer B-52

    Buffalo. Would HAVE to be.
  10. WI: Soviets reverse-engineer B-52

    The Bear is a very capable aircraft. Fastest propeller speed ever recorded was an airliner version of the Bear (more properly the Tu-114). The B-52 is less than 100 mph faster, a speed that is of little difference when flying a sub-sonic bomber against Mach 2.5 interceptors and Mach 3 SAM. What...
  11. American invasion

    Actually if it comes down to the PLA vs. South Central LA I'm not entirely sure I will take the visitors unless I get at least 6.5 points.
  12. Der Fuhrer battleship converted to carrier

    2000 feet long? :eek: TWO THOUSAND FEET?! 700,000 TONS? That's 50% longer than the largest supertanker ever constructed and close to triple the tonnage. That monster can only make 16 knots (with 50,000 shp). It would be double the length and SEVEN TIMES the displacement of a Nimitz class CVN...
  13. Coming to a Theatre Near You: The Butterfly Effect

    Oft has it been asked "When, pray tell, does Necromancy cross the line into trolling?" While the actual limit is somewhat nebulous, ONE HUNDRED FOUR MONTHS is so far past it that words escape me. Wait, one just came to mind... Kicked.
  14. WI: Columbine Inside Job

    I am going to close this thread for the exact reason you suggest. For crissake folks, he didn't SAY it was the government (or any other shadowy group for that matter), he asked a WI. It may not have been the best phrased WI ever posed, but come on. Locked before someone hurts themselves.
  15. WI: Japanese conduct in WW2 honourable?

    FFS, calm down. The war's been over for longer than the average human lifespan (which is 67.6 years). If you can't be civil be silent. Otherwise you will soon be absent. You choice.
  16. Second American Civil War - 1993

    Possibly the grave robbing record. Locked
  17. Optimal Post-WWI Polish Borders Map Survey

    Really? 18 months? for this? Necro = Locked.
  18. Map Thread XI

    Don't do this EVER AGAIN.
  19. Britain without Thatcher

    If you are going to post a text wall that you didn't even write PLEASE at least edit it into a more readable format. I mean... yikes!
