  1. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    This site is not meant to be a author validation society. It is an Alternate History site with long established conventions regarding the various forums. Posts in the "hard" AH forums (pre & post 1900 and FH) are going to be questioned. This is, as one of the more active T/L and story authors...
  2. WI Japan goes north

    Where in the Far East or in the Moscow counter offensive? If you are talking in the Far East the Red Army had four full armies (1 Special, 2 Independent Red Banner, 15, 25) in mid 1941. By 1943 it had added 1 Cavalry, 16 & 35
  3. What would be the effects if all Ireland remained in the United Kingdom

    What the HELL has this got to do with the OP or anything else in the thread? I am going to assume you made a copy paste mistake, this time. Don't hijack threads. It makes puppies cry. CalBear in Mod Mode.
  4. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    I did. I also have read far more of this thread than would have been done by choice due to the near constant reports from advocates on both sides accusing the other of various nastiness. This has given me more than a bit of a flavor for the T/L. My earlier posted recommendation to folks...
  5. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    If this is meant to be a "story" and not a timeline, it is in the wrong Forum. The accepted practice in the "hard" Alternate History Forums is that one needs to be preared to defend the T/L, or at least be able to reasonably explain various POD.
  6. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    Well, this "fact" is utterly incorrect. The Uranium used in Little Boy, and the Plutonium for Fat Man were sourced from Colorado, Canada (largest source of supply) and the Belgian Congo.
  7. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    Pointing out real, Honest to God flaws in a T/L is NOT trolling. Negative feedback to a T/L, provided it is done with a minimal level of civility, is NOT trolling. This is particilarly the case when the T/L receiving comments is loaded with unsupported (and unsupportable) POD & decision making...
  8. MacArthur a Six Star General!

    This thread has literally made me ill. I'll be in the other room getting sick if anyone needs me.
  9. Challenge: A modern-day Van Buren or Fillmore

    Obama is a Blue Dog? Excuse me?
  10. Challenge: A modern-day Van Buren or Fillmore

    George H. W. Bush running as the head of the "My son is a frigging idiot" Party?
  11. Nuclear War Failure Statistics

    Based on general solid fuel missiles, you can assume around a 20% total failure rate, either failure to ignite or catastrophic failure during boost (this would be higher for liquid fueled missiles, which are far more twitchy, as can be seen in civilian launches), assuming a good PM process is in...
  12. Operation:Sealion?

    Well, since your sig seems to indicate you wrote a book on the subject you already know that the Werhmacht lacked a reasonable amphibious doctine, sufficient logistical lift, a usable amphibious landing craft, destroyers for escort, air superiority, naval superiority, and many of the other...
  13. The P-39 gets speed, Vietnam sees the A-10

    Interesting. What sort of design (or actual aircraft/helo) would you see as being successful in the case of the classic, fortunately never seen, action in the Fulda Gap?
  14. The P-39 gets speed, Vietnam sees the A-10

    Thanks for the kind words on the T/L. There is no need to kill any of the bombers (BTW: the B-48? The Air Force killed it after two prototypes underwhelmed. Perhaps you mean the B-47?). The U.S. had the resources to build more than one type of aircraft. The B-47/52/58 were all needed to deliver...
  15. WI Japan goes north

    The troops used in the Moscow offensive did not come from the Far East Front. The Soviets kept the Far East at full strength throughout the War (even though they KNEW, thanks to Sorge et al, that the Japanese were not going to attack). The troops used to reinforce in the West came from Central...
  16. WI Japan goes north

    Japan goes North and they 1. Run out of oil by the fall of 1942. 2. Get their asses handed to them on a platter by the Red Army. 3. Wind up with a much less friendly Occupying Power after the war. Japan had no choice but to go after the Southern Resource Area. They had, at the time of Pearl...
  17. The P-39 gets speed, Vietnam sees the A-10

    It would have been a particularly poor one. For starters it had a liquid cooled engine (the same issue that hurt the otherwise superlative P-51 when used in ground attack and made the excellent Typhoon more vulnerable than the rest of the airframe deserved), one hit in the radiator and the pilot...
  18. The P-39 gets speed, Vietnam sees the A-10

    The U.S. and the West learned the lessons of WW II quite well. It is much better to have one airframe and pilot who can perform both Air Superiority AND Ground Attack, sometimes on the same mission, than have two different aircraft with separate parts pipelines. Given the choice between 12 F4E...
  19. The P-39 gets speed, Vietnam sees the A-10

    It would surely have helped Bell. Outside of that... The 37mm in the P-39 wasn't an effective anti-tank weapon. It was a low velocity weapon that lacked the punch to cut through armor. There is a lot of popular myth that the Soviets used it in tank busting, but the fact is that the used the...
  20. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    Huh? You posted this, in THIS thread, which is a tick away from a Flame War already? Nice job of tossing gasoline on a fire. Official Warning for trolling
