  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    No, Japan is up to Third World ALT 2011, actually better than most of the 3rd World. It started however, from a spot that makes 2011 Somalia look like Switzerland.
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Somehow I missed that completely. Must have been hidden in all that American money that Brazil used to get for stuff before they bit the hand that fed them. :p Oh, and Japan wasn't Third World, more like 6th.
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Brazil did what?:confused: GREAT map. Perfect snarky comments in the legend.
  4. Leftist leaning Israel

    If we are using India as the measure of Leftism, then Israel was clearly a far left state (may well still be one). Same thing goes for most of Western Europe, especially Scandivania and the UK.
  5. Leftist leaning Israel

    In that case you can disregard "leftist' as a reqirement. India was probably the USSR's biggest voluntary arms customer, and continues to have a exceptionally close relationship with Russia, to the point of co-developing weapons systems, including Russian help with the new Arihant class SSBN...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That is very possible, even likely. There was a reason the Indians were shown developing that sort of undersea capacity. Actually there were several, all with their own personal set of butterflies. There are plenty of ways that the ATL can be a signifcant actual improvement OTL, lot of ways...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    In a full out strike India would have no chance. The limitation on any system that puts an object over 65 miles assures that. (as an example, the Minuteman III, with a max range of 8,000 miles, has to put its payload 700 miles into space to get that sort of range). With the limitation, no one...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I have to say that I find it interesting that many posters are trying to create a Cold War style confrontation between the A4 and India. While that is a possible outcome, it isn't, by any stretch, the most likely. India has enough of a deterrent to be an utter pain in the ass if some future A4...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I just re-read The Long Watch today. The thing about Heinlein's world's is that the folks in charge of the Orbitals were utterly apolitical and would act against anyone who threatened to world' peace. The A4 isn't apolitical, not even close. You won't see rocks hitting Chicago or Manchester &...
  10. Philippines POD

    How about if you want to start a thread COMPLETELY different from the subject of one that already exists, you start one of your own? Everytime someone threadjacks, a puppy gets kicked. Just say no. Calbear in Mod Mode.
  11. US loses Vietnam even worse

    There is NO WAY the U.S. would allow the sort of situation that you have in Vietnam in the Western Hemisphere. Cuba happened, mainly because the U.S. was asleep at the witch and never dreamed that Castro would actually be able to pull it off. Once bitten, twice shy. As far as the deeper goal...
  12. Ah Challenge: President Geraldine Ferraro

    Let the dead Rest in Peace! If a thread has had no activity for a year, its all over. Locked!
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Something like the U.S. looks at France. Not total love, not total hate. A mix of admiration and confusion over why they seem so pissed off occassionally for no reason.
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That is actually a really good question. One that I will leave everyone to speculate about. An almost equally good question is this... Would India actually care? Besides the prestige, what is there to gain vs. what could be lost? What's the ROI? China figures big in this T/L's possible...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    BTW: I tend to agree with Ben on this one personally.
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It will be going in the finished T/L section. The Indians accept this because they have a bianary solution set to work with: accept it or get a shower of rocks (and before the rocks, nukes) if they challenge it. Make no mistake, the A4 would do exactly what it threatens. The RN, Canada and...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There have been some posters who have indicated that the Allies have become the Nazis by 2010. They are about half right. The A4 has the rather upsetting belief that they KNOW what is best and they intend to keep things on the "right" path. They will almost absolutely not interfere in the...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Orbitals belong to the A4. Period. DOT. They will actually let anything that can't be used to undermine that ownership into space, but you have to go on their launcher. The result is a flat elimination on chemical rockets that can exceed 65 miles unless thay belong to the A4. This very...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I will be picking up Redux, probably where I left off, in a few weeks.
  20. Japanese Success At Pearl Harbor - Japan Still Doomed?

    And what does Japan gain in that time frame? The MOST the Japanese would have been able to catch at Pearl was two carriers (Lexington and Enterprise). Saratoga was just pulling into San Diego after a long overhaul in Bemerton. Hornet was still working up off Bermuda on her post commissioning...
