  1. WI the Curse of Tippecanoe continues

    There wouldn't be a Presidential election in 2010. Next one ending in Zero will be in 2020.
  2. Could the Allies have invaded France in 1943?

    You need to look at the logistics behind this. In 1943 The Allies don't have enough air to defend the beachhead, not from Corsica and Sardinia. Mission cycle time is going to be too long. One of the biggest selling points of Normandy was that you could get good on-station time over the...
  3. Could the Allies have invaded France in 1943?

    Could the Allies have invaded? Sure. Could the Allies have succeeded? Almost certainly not. Among other problems is that the Luftwaffe was still open for business and the Allies would have had, at best, air parity. The American Army was still learning its trade and was, frankly, in no...
  4. An early 20th century Mexican-American war

    Anything is possible, but to get Mexico to superpower status you need to starts somewhere WAY before 1900, perhaps before 1700. Mexico would need to somehow be able to get control of the Ohio Valley and the Mississippi Basin. I have absolutely no clue how to get them to these goals, but that is...
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    And we have a WINNER!
  6. A Demand Too Far-Franco-Prussian War Alt End

    Moved per OP request.
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Thanks for the compliments As far as the Christian soldiers part... The song definitely works, but around 40% of the soldiers are Hindu, Sikh, or Muslim. :p
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I noted in my comment that this was perspective circa ALT 1959. As time passes, things will change.
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    If it is up to the United States and the Australians (as as of ATL 1959 it is) the Japanese will NEVER be allowed to reindustrialize. Bataan, Rabaul, Burma, and the whole list of horrors the Japanese committed IOTL happened ATL. Then the Allies saw and raised, resulting in, well, victory. To...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Farms, yes, the Allies have gotten them farming again. That is it. Subsistence farming. The Japanese don't even have the pre-war silk industry to fall back on. The Japanese weren't bombed back to the turn of the 20th Century. They were starved, burned and strafed back to around the turn of the...
  11. Japanese invasion of Australia

    As it is for any sentient organism.;)
  12. WI: Germany developed a Long Range Bomber by 1941?

    Overall, the advantage of true heavy bomber to the Reich would be negligible. There are several reasons for this Unescorted bombers tend to suffer crippling losses, especially when most of the mission is over enemy territory. The situation for the Luftwaffe in the East would be pretty much a...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That will be part of the wrap up. I will say, well in advance, that the geo-politics of the ATL post war-ALT 2011 will be a bit rough. I have a pretty good knowledge of WW II and I am a major gear head, so that part is easy for me, but geo-politics, especially in this rather screwed up...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Yea, this world is pretty much a dog's breakfast. I have been putting together the promised "wrap -up" sections (which was supposed to be ONE quick post, but that is a different complaint and one that I have only myself to blame for) and even in quick wrap up mode its isn't exactly Candyland...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Hell, come to think of it... So would I!! :p
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There will most likely not be any "special guest appearances" beyond those I might be able to work in organically to the story. Regarding the butterflies: ATL they are the size of 747s had have fangs. There are a minimum of 80,000,000 people (mainly in Europe but also in Japan and China) who...
  17. Japanese invasion of Australia

    This particular POD, while lacking the massive following of unmentionable marine mammal, is even less possible. Australia is a CONTINENTAL LAND MASS. Japan had, assuming it didn't defend any of its newly won defensive perimeter (which was rather the point of grabbing it in the 1st place) a...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Buddy of mine from high school used to fly Hornets after he graduated from Canoe U. Joined the Corps as an enlisted planning to get through college on the GI Bill, scored off the chart in his Armed Forces Vocational tests and wound up at Annapolis. Pretty sure they don't let him anywhere...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    You need the navy guys around. For one thing that's where the Corps gets its Medical corpsmen (now THOSE are some brave @*(&%) and getting patched up is nearly always a good thing. The other REALLY important reason to have them around is the food! Navy chow is great, I mean it isn't Air Scout...
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    MCRD = Marine Corps Recruit Depot AKA Recruit Training, San Diego (if you enlist west of the Mississippi) AKA Parris Island (if you enlist east of the Mississippi or are a female) Better known as Marine boot camp. Fondly referred to as a Thirteen Week kick in the nuts.
