  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Folks, If you are unhappy with Eurofed's T/L, his T/L is the place for the conversation. Eurofed's view of a sucessful Reich is an interesting take on a possible alternate world. He has stated early on that it is not meant to be a response to this T/L but an independent effort. Please treat...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reichs attack is a mystery to historians ITTL. We know that it was the result of a fit of rage when Gobbels eldest son was killed while part of a U-boat crew.
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I really hadn't planned to discuss Italy at this point, but it seems to be a popular request. I will put something together for the next update.
  4. Germany Invades Spain, Late Autumn 1940

    Problem with your timing is that the T/L has a very different one. November 1940 not June 1941. This makes sense because the Heer simply could NOT support two major mechanized invasions at the same time (as results demonstrated it couldn't support ONE IOTL) Closing the Straits is a LOT more...
  5. AHC: Have an American President Arrested for War Crimes

    The term for this is Overt Act of War. It generally preceeds unfortunate events.
  6. AHC: Have an American President Arrested for War Crimes

    Never happen. The U.S. might put the SOB into the slammer, but let an International Court have a PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? Never happen, not under the OP requirements. There is actually a thread hereabouts where this was discussed specifically. I believe that it resulted in...
  7. Germany Invades Spain, Late Autumn 1940

    Welcome to the Board! :) A very interesting T/L, although there are a number of consequences that you may not have given full consideration. 1. Fighting into Spain across the mountains (and Spain is lousy with mountains) in the winter would be an absolute nightmare. There are worse places...
  8. wich allied general had the biggest ego?

    Of course. He was, however, able to fit it into a steamer trunk. MacArthur required several warehouses to handle his.
  9. Dumbest offensive of the 20th century

    You, Sir, are correct.
  10. wich allied general had the biggest ego?

    Not even close. You take the ego of Patton, Monty, Bradly, Clark, Harris, Hasley, Rommel, Mainstein, Guderian, Yamshita, and Yamamoto, combine them together and you still don't get to MAcArthur at his most humble. BTW: I am happy to see that this poll, unlike many recent efforts, includes the...
  11. Greatest defensive Battle of the Twentieth Century

    Ignored. Chop sticks are actually a great way to eat. Like eating with your fingers but without the mess. Try them next time you are eating ravoli or Chile Verde (you may get an odd look or two, but the method is terrific). It doesn't work too well for steaks, but most of the world's meals...
  12. Dumbest offensive of the 20th century

    Peleliu is the classic example of "well, the schedule says to do it, and we are almost there anyway" resulting in BIG problems. If the Moose tells you the Park is closed, leave. (Cookie for the first one who gets the reference).
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Can't say I have. Am I stealing his stuff without knowing it?
  14. Greatest defensive Battle of the Twentieth Century

    Please do not make me regret my earlier post. Without Arab scholars much of the knowledge of the ancients would have been lost. My HS alegrbra textbook had 9th century Arabic text featured on the cover (lest you think I went to some sort of liberal alternative school let point out I am Jesuit...
  15. Dumbest offensive of the 20th century

    So the June War was Israel's fault? Syria's Goal in 1973 was to have the IDF end up in 155mm range of Damascus? Who knew
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here is the next installment. Comments?????? 23 The aftermath of Operation Condor is remarkable, not for the military results, although the effective destruction of an Army Corps was a not inconsiderable achievement/loss, but in the manner with the results were taken. The Allied...
  17. Greatest defensive Battle of the Twentieth Century

    Reported for what reason? I'm all for being accurate, but talk about Rabbit Ears on this one.:rolleyes:
  18. Dumbest offensive of the 20th century

    The Somme was, if you just look at the individual details a massive screw up. However, if you look at the full effect of the entire two years of fighting there, the picture changes somewhat. The Entente had more men, supplies, industry, and money (or at least the ability to get it from the U.S...
  19. Dumbest offensive of the 20th century

    Some campaigns are Hall of Fame caliber (Barbarrosa, the entire Japanese war against the U.S., Wacht am Rhein) and are so obvious that they should dominate any list like this one. That being the case, let's take a look as the next tier of wasteful. Gold: IJA Solomons campaign, especially after...
