  1. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Last I checked there is no lynch party here. There are numerous individuals all of who find something that was POSTED on a discussion board, with the idea of having it discussed, as being preposterous. This has been so stated by these individuals wholly independently of anyone else. If it...
  2. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    So, does this answer indicate that you have no idea at all of the answers to the basic questions I asked above? Or are you hoping to drag attention away from the questions? I will happily restate them: Available Japanese fleet oilers Available Japanese replenishment ships The names and...
  3. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Noit going to feed the bulldog. Gross numbers are not meaningful. How many of these bottoms were need to supply China and Japanese domestic base requirements? You need to actually prove things. Call it a peer review if you like.
  4. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Okay, lets try this a different way. Every person here has shot holes in one or more parts of your secenario while all you respond with is snarky remarks (about which BTW: in case you missed the memo, the Portuguese were using SAILING vessels and they lost them on a rather stunning basis). Why...
  5. Was it a Given That a Soviet/NATO Conflict in Europe Would go Nuclear?

    Mortal lock. Even if the Soviets didn't open with WMD (which would violate all their strategic planning, which called for massive chemical attacks, as a minimum) which is why the U.S. had a policy of "a WMD is a WMD once you is used to respond with one of your choice", the side that was about...
  6. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Japan didn't have plenty of tankers. They had to DECK LOAD fuel drums on their ships, including the carriers, in order to have sufficient fuel to conduct the Pearl Harbor attack, even with the presence of two supply groups. You also seem to equate fleet oiler with tanker. They are two very...
  7. WW-II Inevitable even without Hitler?

    Inevitable? No. 90% chance? Yes. The post WW I world was too much of a mess. Too many things left on the edge of the precipice, too much bad blood, too little resolution. Best that could be hoped for was a short, sharp European War (likely on ideological grounds) and a completely separate...
  8. Pacific War Redux

    Might want to take this to HoI or PM to Ian. This thread is not for a Forum Rules discussion. Imaginary Time line yes, administration of the Board, not so much. :D
  9. Pacific War Redux

    From the Forum rules: Emphasis added Conspiracy theories are, by definition, banned.
  10. Pacific War Redux

    Not a problem any way it goes. This is one of the few threads that a Mod tries to read every reply posted. ;)
  11. Pacific War Redux

    Actually it is WAY over the line. Hence his early departure.
  12. Pacific War Redux

    Been a while since we've had one of your ilk 'round here. Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories are not accepted here (neither are Hollow Earth, 9/11 Truthers, Moon Landing Hoaxers, etc. not that it will matter in your case). Conspiracy theories are an instantly bannable offense. Bye.
  13. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    BTW: To anyone who wants to have this moved to ASB - This does not meet the requirements. This is simply a poorly thought out, entirely ludicrous idea that has no possibility of succeeding. There is a considerable difference between this and "2012 Mexico is ISOTed to 1490".
  14. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    But you set the scenario in May of 1940. As far as the merchant hulls... Are you implying that the IJN also manages to capture hundreds of them, WHILE they are at sea? If so, you have advanced from the absurd to the preposterous.
  15. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Japan lacked the logistical ability to do this, even in 1942. In 1940 this was even more true. It is rather embarrassing when you run out of fuel mid invasion and all your ships drift ashore. The IJN was also short two of the carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor (and arguably the best two...
  16. Red Dawn artwork thread.

    WOW! 1st post, necro AND insult, all at the same time. A true Hall of Fame moment. Normally someone gets a pass on their 1st post, but you have been here for three months, more than long enough to understand the rules. As a reward you have been awarded a no expenses paid one week...
  17. Axis Evacuation Tunisia April 1943

    The Japanese tried the whole "fast destroyer" system at Guadalcanal. Very expensive. The ships are very vulnerable to interception by fleet units or even by MTB equipped with radar. The best time to REALLY cut the heart out of the enemy's morale is during some sort of retreat. The troops are...
  18. Pacific War Redux

    I will be doing some thing that will be... Interesting fairly soon.
  19. Pacific War Redux

    Sh- You are right.:o I will need to rework that section.
  20. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    Uh... On the off chance that you are just temporarily deranged and not utterly, irreversibly, bark chewing insane this will just be a kick. Based on your posts in this thread, as well as several of your other posts, I have my doubts, but... Kicked for a week
