  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I think GDI is copyrighted. :p The A4 stockpiles are much smaller than the UK/U.S. IOTL. There is no where near the need to have multiple redundancy to ensure that enough weapons survive a counter force strike since the ability to conduct one is more or less nil. The small number of...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Tech, as far as computers, is just about the same as IOTL. There was plenty of effort during the war to improve systems to enable better tracking, fire control, and the like, and the post war with its continued efforts for tech, including space flight (which is where a LOT of the early activity...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    This is just about right on. "We can draft little Timmy and send him off to save Europe again in ten years, or you can pay an extra $2,000 -3,000 in taxes each year. We're good either way, just let us know." Now, no one in DC has ever come right out and said that, but the idea is out there...
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I'll take your word for it. I didn't even try to do the research, much less the math on it. I guess I need to edit it. Thanks for the feedback and information.
  5. WI: DDay at Cherbourg or Calais?

    Cherbourg would have been a disaster. Too far from air bases in England, much longer trip for shipping, no way to lay oil pipe lines with any degree of speed. Even if the landing was successful, which is iffy, the advance would have been far slower. Calais would have been doing exactly what the...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The solar farms are not efficient, not yet. They are the starting point, much like the early nuclear reactors were to practical energy production. The West isn't really looking toward solar or Hydro to be more efficient or cheaper than alternatives, it is simply looking, with this being...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Maglev system is hellishly expensive. It is also, much like OTL's space program in the early days, getting a big chunk of the budget paid for by defense spending. IOTL the U.S. Defense Budget is the the third highest single line in the entire Federal Budget. ATL it is the HIGHEST. At the...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The actual disaster was with the propulsion system, but it was with the engine failing to shut down from the burn to insert into lunar orbit. That gave it a semi-slingshot effect from the Moon's gravity well. Apache Dancer IV is the fastest manned vehicle ever, even before the crew runs out of...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Japan is making good progress, but its spot in the ATL world is mainly Brazil's with Argentina playing the part of Korea. Korea is well ahead of Japan, even with the destruction from the Intervention. Japan will make a recovery, but not quite the dramatic one of OTL. The UK is on an even keel...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Some were allowed to remain in the country were they were being held, mainly in Canada and Australia, but these were mainly pilots or submarine crewmen, along with some of the cannon fodder the Commonwealth swept up as it advanced through Eastern Europe from the Black Sea. Most of the Waffen...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Because they could. Beause they had the biggest stick on the playground and didn't want to share. India also over reacted to a couple perceived slights (the top slot in SACEUR being one) which fed into a series of dumb decisions.
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Tsarist Russia is picking off bits and pieces of the USSR as the regions "exercise their right of self determination". The U.S. hasn't shown much interest in expansion, although U.S. policy of accepting refugees in almost every case (about the only ones who lose out are hard line Stalinist and...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    India is close to OTL China with a big dollop of South Korea added for flavor. There are significant differences between OTL and the ATL. There isn't so much of a Cold War as difference of vision in how the world should work between the A4 and India.
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Bad phrasing. Fixed it.
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well... Fusion, ya, that's the ticket. :p Thanks for the catch.
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Post war wrap-up # 2 of 3 Comments encouraged. 1973 Japan granted UN observer status. 1st Indian manned orbital mission using Prithvi ICBM as booster. United States extends Goldwater Doctrine to include use of nuclear weapons against any country in the Western Hemisphere to be the same...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Food is a rather important resource. Buffalo are, as you say, hardy, and they can live very happily in areas and on grazing lands that would drop domestic cattle in their tracks.
  18. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    Actually he says hated. It says they were a bunch of Blood and soil fascists, but never actually says they want to kill anyone. As an aside he mentions that they did murder Poles and Jews, but never says anything about killing 75% of anything..
  19. Nuclear Terrorism

    Problem with nukes is that every reactor in the world has a signature, similar by type of design, but utterly unique in specifics. These are pretty much all known by all the major powers thanks to fallout patterns, air sampling after even below ground testings, etc. You use a weapon and the...
  20. "Heil mein Führer. Sie sind verhaftet!"

    I read his post. He indicated that Bandera was HATED by 80% of the population, not that he wanted to kill 80%. Nevertheless, if you feel a post is reportable report it.
