  1. Co-ordinated German/Japanese invasion of the Soviet Union 1941

    Short version of this is that the Japanese get their asses kicked by the Red Army's Far East Front since: 1) the IJA never did figure out how to fight a proper modern combined arms battle AND (much more importantly) Richard Sorge has told Stalin exactly Who, What, Where, When, and How...
  2. US joins the Falklands War

    Conditions in close to the Islands were God Awful. 400-500 miles out (and Tomcats could perform CAP out to 900 miles on internal fuel), in deep water they were doable, at least in places. The USN is designed to operate in the North Atlantic and to project force off the Noway Capes. Between ship...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Mostly in the Black Sea. There are some subs, but they have as difficult time getting to open water since the Allies punched into Northern France and Belgium. This doesn't mean that there are none.
  4. In light of Iran's Nuclear Program...

    Advocating mass nuclear attacks is close to advocating genocide. Genocide is frowned upon here. Since you are new, I am going with a warning. Next time it will be someing more substantial. Thread locked to avoid mass kickings.
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Never apologize for adding value to a discussion. Nothing is better than getting some additional input from someone with actual training in the subject. I would simply point out that the Reich's missile effort was substantially damaged by a very heavy strike well within European Russia at...
  6. US joins the Falklands War

    Besides the fact that the war ends in about six hours, which is how long it would take to get a strike package over the Islands? Probably the impact on British self confidence. The Falklands allowed the UK to show that they could still project force as a military power without relying on the...
  7. The Pacific War

    Uh... When you are buried alive the first thing you need to do is stop digging a deeper hole. As a short series of examples Huh? Are you aware of the Xinhai Revolution? Or of the abject failure to attempt to reinstate the Manchu Emperors (lasted a whole 11 days). Why? How? So the Chinese, who...
  8. Plausibility check: RoC holds Chinese coastline

    Short answer is no. The CCP had the numbers and the ROC didn't have the firepower to counter the imbalance. It is questionable if even the U.S. at its WW II peak could have held the China coastline without liberal use of nuclear weapons (even then it would probably have been touch and go). As...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reich has, as was the case IOTL, lost the war of attrition that marked the air war. The Luftwaffe has some excellent designs, but it has been gradually worn down by the far greater capacity of the Allied factories and the very lopsided access to raw materials that so greatly favors the...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Gobbels and his minions are doing pretty much what they and the Japanese did IOTL, except with TV in play. The Axis counties were actually the originators of what is now called "Baghdad Bob" press releases. The Japanese claimed to sink at least a half dozen capital ship every time the...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Spanish have actually managed to do fairly well ITTL, at least compared to OTL. As one of the few non occupied countries in Europe they have been something of a meeting ground and helped broker the 1947 Bombing Holiday and PoW transfer. The Spanish, as IOTL, figured out that the best place...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    As mentioned a couple times, Himmler personnaly assured that most of 731's researchers and research got away from the Allies.
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Media is censored on both sides. The Allies give the truth up, but only in certain frameworks and after the tactical advantages are gone. As an example, the Allied media had tape of the various landings the next day and there were mentions of strong resistance and heavy losses on both sides...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    A glimpse into the Reich is actually part of the next update. All is is not sweetness and light on the home front and things are about to... Well, wait for the update. :p
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It is an improved version of the WW II AAA weapon, with a beefed up breech and recoil system that allows higher velocity. The changes were initially done to allow better high altitude performance against heavy bombers operating over 40,000 feet and at speeds up to 350 mph. It is BIG and...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Most of France is still Axis, the French government and military is still reliably fascist. Italy is still a member of the Axis.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here is this weekend's update. Comments? 33 The Allies were at first surprised, then encouraged by the suddenly reduced resistance by SS forces. This sense of elation lasted less than three days, to be replaced by puzzlement. This was after the spearhead of the British 6th Armored...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Welcome to the Board!:) Thank you for your service in Afghanistan in the cause of freedom. Hopefully you get a good period of time to decompress now that you are back in The World. Thanks also for the kind words on the T/L.
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Welcome! :) The Allies grew a bit of a conscious due to what happened to Japan's civilian population. As a result they tend to avoid the mass killing of civilians whenever possible. Possible, however, is a pretty elastic qualifier, as was shown when the city of Dunkirk was taken. The Allies...
  20. Small arms that should never have seen service

    No reason to be abusive. Just saying it was a myth would have been sufficient, even if incorrect. If you had bothered to actually read the post rather than react you might have noticed that his source of information was his FATHER, who actually used the weapon in combat. He also noted that...
