  2. WI Kate Middleton practiced Aztec Human Sacrifice???

    Thread locked. Everyone needs to get off this particular merry go round.
  3. WI Kate Middleton was French?

    Oh, for crisssake! Thread locked.
  4. WI Hitler is captured and juged at Nuremberg?

    Never happen. Stalin wanted Hitler so bad he could taste the blood. He wouldn't have shared that particular pleasure with anyone. My guess is that Hitler would have been denied a death he was begging for for weeks, if not months while Stalin watched Beria and his best team get medieval on...
  5. A CSA question

    Moved to pre-1900. Might be a Chat item, but we'll try it here. Definitely not a Forum Rules item.
  6. Japan does badly 1941-2

    The forces in the PI could have held longer with some better leadershuip and planning (the whole "burn the rice" thing that MacArthur pulled, which destroyed enough food to feed the entire military on Luzon for MONTHS, should have gotten him cashiered), but in the end, it is mainly a matter of...
  7. Japan does badly 1941-2

    Hornet wasn't operation on 12/7/41. She was still in shakedown and her air wing hadn't even been fully formed. Yorktown was part of the Atlantic fleet, and her movement would have been impossible to hide. The Japanese also were doing plenty of patrolling with float planes, it would have been...
  8. Japan does badly 1941-2

    You need to look at the number of aircraft available. The TOTAL number of B-17 in the PI was 34 aircraft, and these were not the B-17 that most of us think of when the term is used. We are talking C & D models with much weaker defensive armament and non-veteran pilots. We are also discussing...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well, the U.S. flew F4Us throughout the Korean War (and France flew them off her carriers until 1964), F8F well into the Korean War, P-51s in the Air Guard until 1957, AD-1s until 1967 , F-80s into the late 50s (with the T-33 advanced trainer making it into the 1970s), and the F-86 didn't retire...
  10. Japan does badly 1941-2

    It is likely that the U.S. losses at Pearl are worse. As I have discussed here in other threads (at probably too much length), the ideal waring is one that is believed and comes in around 03:00-04:00 hrs. That gives enough time to shake out what crew is aboard the ships (it was Saturday night in...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well, it was bound to happen eventually. :p I am actually fairly surprised that I got this far. Although the Centurion Tank Incident was close. To tell the truth I really hadn't thought about an Arab legion.
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I have addressed the kamakazi tactics so I’ll let them stand as discussed. I have tried to keep the wank level down in the war, but it is difficult, especially since OTL comes close to a wank. This was more a matter of finding some way to get the Nazi’s to win in the East...
  13. TFs 11 & 14 combine for relief of Wake

    The chances of an actual carrier v. carrier are not really high. The U.S. did not intend to sail the carriers all the way to Wake and the Jaapnese approached Wake from a somewhat different vector than the Americans. The Americans were not in a position to be hyper aggressive, not with the Battle...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The tactic is, of course, of limited utility and countermeaure will come along. It is, nevertheless, not entirely unreasonable if you are trying to stop nuclear armed bombers. I was, BTW, fairly careful in selecting the "victims" for the tactic. Both the Canverra and B-66 were fairly early...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reich is the product of a quarter century of intentional indoctrination of an entire people. Over half the people living in Europe have been fed the Party's view of reality for as long as they can remember, with many older Germans having believed at least parts of it since 1918, if not...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The last line quoted is meant to be the Book's author making an aside about the historic event. It is part of the conceit of the story's construction, which is supposed to read as part of a fairly scholarly history series of the era. Thanks for the kind words.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Never read it. Is it sent in the same time frame?
  18. Singapore holds?

    There is actually very little that Singapore can do to NEVER fall. You can delay the inevitable, but not prevent it without eliminating the entire European War, or at the very least keep it on the Continent and not allow it to spread into the Med (having the French Fleet decide to come over to...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I was wondering if anyone would notice that before I had the chance to post it.
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Update! Comments??? 44 The reaction of SS forces in the field, and even those of some of the French National “elite” forces to the collapse of the Himmler Offensive and the Allied counter strikes was remarkable, all the more so since it seems, by all accounts, to have been largely...
