  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here is the next update. Comments sought! :) 26 It has often been stated that the Arras region is one of the pivot points of Europe. This is mainly due to the number of battles that have happened in the City’s shadow. None of these many actions, dating back to the 15th Century or two...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Yes. Useless filler
  3. Challenge: Better japanese performance WWII

    You have discovered the central issue which doomed Japan. Utter disregard for reality.
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Not if it happened over the visible horizon. When the raiders managed to get close, the nukes were not used and regular wepons were employed out of concern that the nuke would do more damage than the air raid.
  5. D-Day in Southern France

    The Allies lacked the logistical lift to put troops into France in sufficient D-Day sized numbers if they moved in from the Med. Huge difference in crossing the Channel to crossing a Sea. The Allies would also have been unable to provide air cover in sufficient quantity. The D-Day landings...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    As discussed a couple of times earlier, the U.S. has a limited number of H-bombs. Here is my most recent note on the Allied inventory: The Allies do have Thermonuclear Weapons, although not as many or as large as IOTL 1958. There are no MK-41 25MT weapons lurking out there, although there are...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That is about the third or fourth note about the T/L losing believability due to nukes not being deployed. Interesting. I may need to alter things a bit.
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    India is ambigious for a reason, some of the details are not yet settled (Partition etc.). India is, however, already looking like it will wind up as THE power in Asia.
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Allies send some aid now that they have tossed out the Reich puppet government in Vladivostok in addition to what they have been sending via the southern lad routes. The problem is that there is a lot of reasonable concern that any sort of raw materials you give Molotov's government goes...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Arras wasn't in the middle of a city. It also wouldn't be a nuclear target, even today, in a gloves off fight. Arras was a very difficult fight but it was also mainly difficult because the Allies hadn't had to deal with one of the bunker complexes before. There will be tactical lesson learned...
  11. 1941: China attacks Pearl Harbour?

    The Chinese have always been a land based and focused power. Japan falling under China's sway is possible, depending on the POD, but finding a reason for the Chinese to go 5,000 miles from home to pick a fight with the U.S. is a bit of a reach. The Japanese needed to knock out the U.S. fleet...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Nice map. :) A couple points: There isn't a revolt in the DEI, there isn't really any reason for one nor is there a Soviet Union pumping money into every rebellion it can find. The DEI is an important resource provider to the Allies, an on-going war there would reduce that supply flow. Much...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Allies are still heavily slanted to only killing civilians when unavoidable (although, as is clear from their methods of dealing with "fortress cities" unavoidable only goes so far, and is something of a goal rather than a unbreakable oath). This is as much a matter of preventing any sort...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Americans, Australians & Canadians, and by extension the rest of the Allies, learned a lot at Arras. Some of it is specific to the SS Bunker Complexes, which are not all that common, but do exist in every conquered country to some extent (the one in Norway was a small version and was mainly...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here is the next update. Comments gladly accepted! 25 It was, perhaps, inevitable, that the Allied version of the Irresistible Force would meet the Reich’s Immovable Object and the location of the encounter often seems to be almost poetic when viewed at five decades distance. At the time...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I don't mind answering questions about the thread or the posts. That is why I ask for comments, they help the T/L (and, not incidentally, help me with the writing process). In many cases it allows me to clarify something I haven't mentioned or failed to make clear enough in the regular posts...
  17. Churchill dies after being hit by the cab

    Wait... Are you implying that Poland was even partly responsible for the Nazi/Soviet invasion? Please tell us that you are not implying that the Poles deserved their fate. Even for a very long term member that is thin ice.
  18. Australia at war with Indonesia, the US and the UK stays out, consequences?

    Problem with these sorts of scenarios is that they ignore the critical place Australia holds in the U.S. defense grid. Alice Springs has a significant control point, not just for manned missions, but also for satellite and SIGINT. This has been the case for most of the last half Century. There...
  19. Alt. History Book Analysis (Axis Victory)

    This seems like you are asking for someone to do your homework. This isn't a homework assist site.
  20. Possible Modern 21st century Weapons in WW2

    You ever eaten MREs AKA three lies in three letters? Try some, specifically the Ham & Lima Beans (or the four fingers of death), and get back to us. There is a reason that during the Gulf War the going trade rate was something like five MRE for one British ration pack and something like 9:1...
