  1. The Best Possible WWI Outcome

    You have been repeated warned regarding insults and trolling. You have gotten several miles of slack because of language difficulties. You have failed to take the advice and the warnings are apparently ineffective. For this post and others in this thread: Kicked for a week.
  2. D-Day One Month Earlier, bad odds?

    You need ALL five beaches. Utah was critical. All that really stopped May was the weather. Good Weather and off they go.
  3. WI: Basilone Dies Before Saving Iwo Jima?

    Or John Wayne. He retook the Philippines.
  4. WI: Basilone Dies Before Saving Iwo Jima?

    Who credited him with this? He was a remarkably brave, perhaps TOO brave, Marine, but responsible for taking the island? Don't think so.
  5. Unsucessful Pearl Harbor leads to Sucessful Nazi Germany?

    The Japanese were not going to get "slaughtered" with an hours notice, or with three or eight or twenty-four. Enough notice for Pearl to be fully alerted and the Kido Butai simple sails away without attacking. Nagumo's orders were specific on that point. A warning that lets the U.S. get...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Alaska is a State. Hawaii will gain statehood on the same schedule as IOTL.
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Both Canada and Australia are considerably more powerful than IOTL. Population is slightly higher than IOTL, particularly in Canada, which has become a primary shelter/relocation site for refugees from French colonies and for many UK citizens who have been drawn by the lure of good jobs and no...
  8. Why no reconquest of Wake?

    By the time the U.S. felt it was ready to go onto the offensive in the Central Pacific (late 1943, after the attritional battles in the Solomons had been won, and new carrier construction was reaching the fleet) Wake was no longer critical. Tawawa provided a deeper incursion into the Japanese...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Australian style Lagers are popular too. American tastes still run to COLD beer as well.
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Something like that. Most "German" food is called by Argentine names. Danish is called facturas, while Sauerkraut tend to be called Chucret. You also have some Americans who have brought home a taste for middle eastern food, thanks to Allied air & naval bases along the Southern and Eastern Med...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The "in" cooking styles are South American and Indian (for the more adventurous). For lots of "middle America" this mainly means slightly spicier dishes and different ways to prepare staples like potatoes. Sadly, for the Australians out there, the allure of vegimite continues to escape the...
  12. WI: Franco-Prussian War never happened

    Official Warning You have GOT to get a better translation program, or brush up on your conversational English. Maybe both. Calling someone STUPID is over the line around here (as are a number of your other comments in this thread). I have sent you earlier messaging and warnings on this...
  13. japanese victory at midway

    The logistical element is, as is always the case with the Japanese, huge. The changes in 1937 would have changed everything since no China War means the Japanese have no need to move South at all.
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well, the Churchill/egg scenario has been so played out I had to find another POD. I do however, have a question. Isn't the issue if the eggs had been poached?:confused::confused::confused:
  15. japanese victory at midway

    The thrust of Midway was not to set up an invasion of the Hawaiian Islands (by mid 1942 an utter impossibility thanks to massive reinforcement post 12/7/41, not that it was remotely possible even ON December 7th). The entire goal of the operation, including the attack on the Aleutians, was to...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Actually both are POD to make the Nazi victory possible. The extra 300,000+ troops plus the material that was not lost in the futile African adventure are the decisive factors in the Stalingrad campaign. Even then it also takes Stalin being, well, Stalin, in the aftermath of the Volga debacle...
  17. Opinion of Huey Long

    Pretty sure Huey was active in the 1930s. Moved to proper forum.
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    As I noted in the post, the USAF was making a point.
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It did, right before he stroked out.
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Hate to keep Adam waiting... :D Comments? 58 At the same time as the Allies sent their formal demands to the Reich’s leadership they also virtually papered all of unoccupied Germany and the General Government areas with leaflets repeating the same demands. One significant difference...
