  1. A Chance at Redemption: A College Football Timeline

    Not a FH timeline. Moved to post 1900.
  2. If you had to give hitler one good military advice. What would it be?

    Since the best possible outcome is Hitler and the rest of his bully boys hanging by the neck... Declare war on the United States on the First of December of 1940. OR Destroy the French will to fight by attacking and overwhelming the Maginot Line. Surprise the enemy by attacking no later...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Maps and I do not agree. I an read them, but making a detailed on that can be posted? Not so much.
  4. US settles for a negotiated peace in WW2

    Japan was doomed. End of line. The American PEOPLE, not the military or the political leadership, the average Joe (aka; The voters) wanted Japan skinned and the skin made into a drum. Germany could have gotten a deal IF the USSR utterly collapsed. Short of that, game over.
  5. AH Challenge: make flatulence socially acceptable

    You have got to be kidding. Locked.
  6. McClellan a good General or a Fool?

    Terrific Quartermaster. Great Training Officer. Horrible Commander.
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Some subs escaped to the UK and both of the Pacific Fleet's boats made it to Alaska along with a some small surface combatants. The Soviet fleet wasn't all that much to talk about (same as IOTL).
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Not exactly. The Allies have been advised of the Red Army methods (and, by extension, the Heer's) but they are not convinced that the Continental Europeans are correct. The Red Army did lose to the Germans, so there is an understandable bit of caution. As the land war has progressed the Allies...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Overall only a few Red Army senior officers got out of the Soviet Union and made their way to the West. Most of the "Big Names" died, either in combat or at Stalin's hands, with the others being handed over to the Reich for "war crimes" as part of the Berlin Peace Treaty. The Party did a very...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Thanks for the kind words & welcome to the Board! :) Computers are slightly ahead of OTL. Turing isn't dead ITTL, its fairly amazing how much more tolerant the State becomes when engaged in a death struggle. Welcome aboard! Thank you for your service!!:) Europe as a whole is going to be a...
  11. Was the Sherman tank an "engineering disaster"?

    Did you read any of the other posts in this thread? I only ask because you are repeating a myth that had been throughly exploded in this (and other) threads here.
  12. WI the Air attack aginst Pear Harbor failed

    If the U.S. got all the AAA up and armed a 40% total loss/mission kill would be a good result. You put half the Fighters up and the loss rate woudl easily go over 50% once the mission kills are included. A good example of what the loss rates would be is when you look at the results during both...
  13. Was the Sherman tank an "engineering disaster"?

    Thanks for the link. Very interesting.
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The conditions in Africa are a mix of better and status quo. The Allies really do not have time to or troops to spend screwing around in Africa. This has resulted in a increasing amount of self-rule as the Allies (with the Americns being the most insistant) try to move the colonial areas into...
  15. Was the Sherman tank an "engineering disaster"?

    The U.S. sent a number of Shermans to the USSR as part of Lend-Lease. They were highly sought after by Soviet Tankers because they were, overall, a better vehicle. They were far more habitable, reliable, and were solid in tank on tank combat. Most wound up in Guards divisions since they received...
  16. Was the Sherman tank an "engineering disaster"?

    Exactly how many German tanks were diesels? Where, exactly, did the Tiger and Panther store their ammo? What, exactly was the height of the Panther? Tiger? Pz IV? BTW: There were only two countries that biuld AND fielded diesel tanks in any number in WW II. The Soviet Union was one of them.
  17. Was the Sherman tank an "engineering disaster"?

    The Sherman was actually an excellent vehicle for its mission. Complaining that it was not up to fighting Tigers one on one is akin to condemning a light cruiser for not being able to do the same against a battleship. People who complain about the Sherman simply do not understand the U.S...
  18. Maginot line

    If the French had pushed the fortifications to the Sea the Heer would have been stopped butt cold and effectively chopped to pieces. The line was a superb engineering achievement. It is true that the French had a defensive mindset, but that, in and of itself, was not a bad thing. What was a...
  19. would the USA directly intervene to save Israel

    The U.S. already HAS intervened. In 1973 the U.S. stripped Reforager supplies out of Germany and sent the equipment to Israel. We then moved 6th Fleet into the Eastern Med to interdict any Soviet attempt to resupply the Syria or Egypt. Nixon then got onto the Hot line with the Soviets & told...
  20. American Sealion

    Late 1945-46 This would be Downfall, except even more complex. I'm not at all sure it is even possible without serious use of Special Weapons.
