  1. Pacific War Redux

    One thing about macArthur was that the late 1941 version had little of the overall name recognition that he had after the Philippines. Ironically, it was the FDR administration who helped build him into what he became in a quest for heroes to keep morale up on the Home Front. Nevertheless, I...
  2. What if 1990 nuclear war happened?

    Locked for the common good.
  3. What if 1990 nuclear war happened?

    Okay. Enough! Stop spamming the Forum with this sort of lunacy.
  4. Pacific War Redux

    Because ammo is more important than drugs.
  5. Pacific War Redux

    Well, properly speaking there really isn't a CBI, at least not yet. Burma is threatened, but not yet invaded. India is mainly a resource and repair base, and China is, well, China.
  6. Pacific War Redux

    Even IOTL the Japanese never got the production they had hoped for from the DEI. They also never had anywhere near the tankerage needed to transport the volume to Japan (IOTL something like 80% of the world's tankers in 1941 belonged to either U.S. or UK shipping firms, with a decent percentage...
  7. Pacific War Redux

    There are a couple different answers to this question. If Bataan was actually fully in business and if Singapore had a secure water supply they would be a huge problem since aircraft from there could interdict any traffic between the DEI and the Home Islands. This was the reason the Japanese...
  8. Naval air support at Guadalcanal

    The U.S. would have taken the Island and wo- Oh yea. No real changes would have occurred. No matter what the carrier were going to have to depart sooner or later. The cruiser action still happens and IJN ships get away in the dark. The only change might be that the transport force sticks...
  9. Pacific War Redux

    Be rather difficult to make it worse.:)
  10. Pacific War Redux

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Putting up a week or two of posts at a time, I don't thing there is a chance of that!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
  11. Pacific War Redux

    Hopefully. At least that's the plan.
  12. Pacific War Redux

    And... in 3... 2... 1... We are BACK! :D Comments are always welcome. Font size increased at a couple requests. Let me know if its okay or if I should go back the # 3 font. March 21, 1942 (Singapore) 06:00 hrs local Coastal defenses fall under what is to become near constant...
  13. Nazi conquest of Sweden, Spain, and Italy + No Barbarossa = Long-lasting Nazi Europe?

    Problem with this sort of scenario is that the entire point of Hitler's war was to wipe out The Slav. To change that is to alter the entire underpinning of Hitler's world. I would also venture to say that, in mid-1940, the Germans would have been hard pressed to CONQUER Spain, Italy and Sweden...
  14. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    To be specific the Flag force (TF 77.1) 1 CL and 4 DD, the Northern Attack force (TF 78) had 24 DD, the Southern Force (TF 79) had 28 DD, the Close Covering force (TF 77.3) had 2 CA (RAN), 2 CL, 7 DD for a total of 2 CA, 3 CL, and 63 DD. Sprauge's CVE force had 9 DD and 14 DE (in addition to the...
  15. Discussion: Kurita Continues (Alternate Battle of Leyte Gulf)

    1. Maybe a blow, but not the sort of dramatic war changer that is sometimes supposed. The Taffy groups had, amongst them, 430 combat aircraft (the Kido Butai used 350 to devastate Pearl Harbor) all of which were driving full on into the Japanese force. The Japanese also had, at most, 5 hours...
  16. do you think the nazis would have won wwii if the usa wasnt involved

    Ya'll didn't think I made up the whole Anthrax thing in AA/NW did you? Churchill was a one tough old bastard.
  17. do you think the nazis would have won wwii if the usa wasnt involved

    Not true. The Far East Front was kept fully manned throughout the war, with numbers even increasing. This is a common misunderstanding of the "Siberians" who were supposed to have been the saviors of the USSR. These troops were actually from Central Asia and were never within a thousand miles...
  18. do you think the nazis would have won wwii if the usa wasnt involved

    Can't really agree with you about Bomber Command. Harris had a different perspective than the Americans, but his method had its advantages. What would have hurt Bomber Command was the loss of Lend Lease supplies. Without the U.S. involved, even as the big PX, it is possible that the Soviets...
  19. do you think the nazis would have won wwii if the usa wasnt involved

    They are still trying. The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance. Well, that and the occasional corn dog.
  20. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    It NEVER nearly happened. Even IF the Japanese had managed to get past Taffy 3, the U.S. has, in addition to some 430 aircraft (which is considerably MORE than the Japanese had in the strike waves at Pearl Harbor) more than FIFTY destroyers with the 'phibs. How bad is that for the Japanese? Less...
