  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Irish read the handwriting on the wall, as well as a couple of fairly obvious firey letters in sky. The A4 had come around to a "if you are not with us, we will REALLY remember it, and here's why" mindset. There was absolutely no doubt that the Reich was as bad as the propaganda had been...
  2. Alternate name for Australia

    Three Years dead and you Necro for this? Don't do that.
  3. DBWI: Robert Sobel's "Decades of Darkness"?

    Locked at OP request.
  4. Fictional castlist for a TL-191 movie

    Please let dead threads lie. The one you TRIPLE posted in has been dead for nearly 4 1/2 YEARS. If you feel a subject is worth pursuing, please start a new thread rather than revive a dead one. The only real exception to this is if you are the Original Poster.
  5. 2008 Thermonuclear War

    I may seen excerpts of that study (God alone knows what obscure journal I found in the library that had it, lots of water under the bridge since them) or at least references. In any case it pretty much matches up with other open source materials I've come across over the years. The thing that...
  6. 2008 Thermonuclear War

    The reality is that, in today's environment, you have both sides using much more SLBM deployed weapons than in the past. These are far less vulnerable to counterforce than previous land based systems. You would have a number of systems that were able to survive and launch on targets, including...
  7. 2008 Thermonuclear War

    Europe would be devastated. The UK and France are both NATO members and nuclear powers. Germany still is host to significant U.S. military bases and one would have to be mad to believe that the Russians would leave a strong Germany to survive in a war of total destruction. No one in Russia would...
  8. 2008 Thermonuclear War

    This is a FULL EXCHANGE scenario. By the time it was over there wouldn't be a major city, hell medium sized community, in the Northern Hemisphere left. The same goes for every significant oil refinery on Earth. The probability of the exchange expanding to all other nuclear powers (India &...
  9. THE SIEGE

    Please let the dead rest in peace. If a thread has been dead for more than six months let it decompose on its own (unless you are the Original Poster). If you find the subject of interest, start a new thread.
  10. petrolium (oil) is never discovered or is very rare.

    Six years? SIX YEARS FOUR MONTHS? Really? Please let the dead rest in peace. If a thread has been dead for more than six months let it decompose on its own (unless you are the Original Poster). If you find the subject of interest, start a new thread.
  11. Sealion- the landing possibility

    Seriously, don't be a jerk
  12. AHC Buccaneer NATO Standard

    This is the only way it gets into U.S. service, if the A-6 fails. That is exceptionally unlikely. Grumman was pretty solid. The USAF will not want to operate it, it was WAY too slow for USAF tactical thought of the era (hell, MACH 2 was barely acceptable), and by the time the 'Nam changed...
  13. Sealion- the landing possibility

    The difficulty, assuming you handwave the usual, insurmountable, issues with reach the beaches in the first place, is maintaining supply of the forces. The ground troops will have around 60 rounds per man (90 if they are issued an extra ammo pouch), and most will be carrying part of the squad's...
  14. WI: James Dean lives longer

    Please don't revive long dead threads. If a thread is more than six months old and you are not the Original Poster, please let it rest in peace. If you feel that the subject needs more discussion, or if it simply interests you, please begin a new thread.
  15. Difference between the Mogolian bow and English longbow

    Bored with a thread? Easy answer: Don't post. No reason to be a jerk about it.
  16. Is USSR doomed if Japan invades?

    The Japanese would always be using oil. They would have to keep there fleet mobile, for political reasons if no other (keep in mind that either the Army or Navy could bring down the Government at will). The Japanese had over seas possessions (i.e. the Mandates & Formosa) as well as the need to...
  17. Is USSR doomed if Japan invades?

    Actually, the IJN couldn't have attacked to the South, not with the IJA heavily engaged against the Far East Front. The IJN didn't have anything close to the personnel to try any of the invasions needed (the Philippines, Malaya, DEI) much less all of them. The lunge South was done on a...
  18. Is USSR doomed if Japan invades?

    The only way the Japanese come up with that many troops is if the strip everything out of China. Since they were deeply engaged with the Chinese, to the point that they had to struggle to scrape together sufficent forces to make the drive to the South possible (even then they literally had to...
  19. Question: French Military?

    I would say that the USN, especially in the Pacific, was at the very least the equal of the Red Army in both operational concept and ability to carry them out. Interestingly the Pacific Fleet even suffered similar early reversals followed up by adapting to conditions and leveraging advantages...
  20. The WWII in "Central Powers won WWI" World

    Actually you are not venting. You are in specific violation of Board Policy that requires [B] I would strongly recommend that you keep this in mind.
