  1. What If Japan Wins WW2?

    Mexico would have a better chance of Invading the U.S. today and defeating the U.S. military by October 4th. Japan was dead from the word Go.
  2. FAIL SAFE

    In the book it is NYC. The aircraft is flown by the SAC commander, who is from New York, and he orders the entire crew to take their hands off all the controls when the time comes so they will have no blood on their hands. As soon as the deed is done, and New York, his family, and that of the...
  3. FAIL SAFE

    Probably impeached, maybe tried and executed. Hopefully not, given the alternative to taking out New York was full out nuclear war. One small point that hasn't been mentioned (or that I missed) is that the President's wife and children are IN New York when he allows the attack to proceed. He...
  4. Why didn't they use Little Boy as a tactical nuclear weapon?

    Actually I took the actual stockpile and production from OTL, according to declassified U.S. records for the end of 1946 (Nine weapons) and doubled it to account for full out war production efforts. I was probably way generous, but still in the ball park. If I had gone straight OTL, there would...
  5. AHC- The Godfather bombs.

    Drop James Caan, replace him with Elliot Gould Drop Al Pacino, replace him with Joel Grey Drop Marlon Brando, replace him with Eddie Albert Drop Robert Duvall, replace him with Fred Astaire Drop Francis Ford Coppola replace him with Stanly Kubrick Cave into the Italian American pressure...
  6. Why didn't they use Little Boy as a tactical nuclear weapon?

    Actually it would only have been about 8-10 more. The fissile material was not really being mass produced yet. That took several years.
  7. A Fallout Game Set in New York?

    Not Future History. Moved
  8. Continuous Democracy - The Best Plausible Timeline?

    I was going to warn you for this little outburst, but since you have already been warned about playing Undercover Mod (and in a post toward the same member, just to make it better) clearly you need a bit more of a reminder. You are kicked for a week. Really, really try to be more polite when...
  9. Who Should Have Won the 1968 Election?

    Well, looks like a landslide. NEVER do this again.
  10. Alternate names for America?

    SIX and a HALF YEARS? 66 MONTHS? This thread wasn't dead, it was decomposed. Don't do this.
  11. 1 billion Americans Challenge

    What is it will all the grave-digging today? Día de los Muertos isn't for five weeks.
  12. pontoon bridges on time at Fredericksburg

    Wait... You reactivated a thread that has been dead for 18 months to argue with someone who has been Banned? Seriously? Don't do that.
  13. Alternate national animals?

    A full YEAR? Come on.
  14. Crusander Against Housecarl

    Please stop spamming these X vs. Y threads. A couple are interesting. A never-ending barrage not so much.
  15. Earlier possible date for an six-carrier attack on Pearl HArbor?

    November to February is also the peak season for the big breakers. They are generated by the winter storm coming out of the Gulf of Alaska.
  16. Earlier possible date for an six-carrier attack on Pearl HArbor?

    The Japanese COULDN'T logistically support a strike on Pearl. It isn't possible, given their available shipping, the needs for what shipping they had to supply the Army in China and, perhaps in one of the most ignored facts of WW II, the need to import enough food to FEED THE COUNTRY. Japan...
  17. AH Challenge: CSA Territory Wank

    TWO YEARS? For this? Really? Let the dead lie.
  18. What effect had on Israel if Hitter only able kill half as many Jews in Europe

    So he only wipes out HALF the Jews in Europe? No real difference. The Camps are still the Camps, the sense of betrayal is the same, the general sympathy toward the Jewish people is the same, the Zionist movement is still the same.
  19. A Realistic Reich-American Cold War

    The U.S. would likely try to support actual democratic movements. It would be rather like trying to empty the Pacific with a teaspoon, but it would be the only course available. Three way Cold Wars, BTW, as so dynamically unstable that they have a very short half-life. You will never have a...
  20. A Realistic Reich-American Cold War

    The difficulty is defeating the USSR. That, barring some really serious set-up, is not possible. Even in my A-A/NW I was never really happy with the circumstances that I had to use. Once you deal with the USSR, you wind up with a Cold War that is far less even than IOTL. The Anglo-Americans...
