  1. Jewish Hitler

    He's new here & this seems to be his first post. Nice Eleven11 vibe to him. Update: And he seems to have been banned. Well, that was quick.
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    You REALLY expect me to tell everyone this in advance? :p
  3. Jewish Hitler

    Ya' ALL that'll happen.:rolleyes:
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I went with Eden (although a late Churchill election, butteflying away the strokes, was something I played with in my mind). The POTUS is Joe Kennedy, who survived ITTL as a well know war hero.:D
  5. Flying Fortress over Formosa

    35 bombers wouldn't have changed the eventual outcome, not with General Egotistical Knothead in command of the Island's defenses, but it would have been a rude shock to the Japanese. Had the FEAAF taken off as soon as they were armed post warning of the Pearl Harbor attack they would have...
  6. WI Buran-style Shuttle stack?

    While NASA today is, IMO, the embodiment of "rule by committee = failure", the Shuttle's failing are not NASA's (or the USAF) doing. The Credit there goes to Congress. Congress rejected a much more versatile and mission capable vehicle as being excessively expensive, resulting in the design we...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    They are still in the same status quo as OTL. South Africa has a considerable force assigned to the Commonwealth contingent. I can't see a reasonable way to improve the situation there for the Black majority without massive changes in the period leading up to the piece I am writing that would...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The League of Nations is mainly seen as a cause of the war. It still has meetings (strangely, almost all the attendees are from what another poster called "New Europe") but it is all pro forma. I will touch, briefly, on the post war world when this TL is completed. It is an... interesting...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That about covers it. While not all the changes in U.S. society caused by the War are good, this is an example of a very good change that came about. ITTL Civil Rights are roughly OTL's 1970. LONG, LONG way to go, but they don't need the 101st with fixed bayonets to get black kids into school...
  10. Challenge: Make "Operation Sealion" a German succsess

    Well, if you did, you are clearly not a very serious poster, not if you've been lurking here for any amount of time, of if you have even a basic knowledge of WW II weapons, tactics and logistical realities.
  11. Letters of Marquee

    And even with $25,000,000 dollars sitting out there, Bin Laden nad several others are still out there. Warfare is not a private enterprise. If you want to live in Hell, let the Blackwater's of the world take over things like Somali pirate operations. Life will rapidly become fascinating.
  12. N3 and G3 Battleships in WW2

    Problem here is that without a Washington, and then London, Treaty you don't get to wait until the 1940's for the next misunderstanding. You almost certainly get a war in the Pacific no later than 1932, probably earlier. Without a war, the removal of the brake that both Naval Treaties...
  13. Letters of Marquee

    Well, 36 knot cargo ships are pretty damned expensive too, even without armor. Need to be able to pick 'em up & put 'em down if you are running from a torpedo boat or a destroyer. Privateers only made sense when the difference between the typical warship and the typical cargo ship was in how...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Allies are close to OTL, but they don't see an overwhelming need for 10MT city killers. Thanks for the link.
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Allied nuclear weapons advancements have been very close to OTL. It has, however, been much more covert since the Bomb is still a secret (at least from the Reich) but it has been just about as frantic, especially from the perspective of coming up with lighter weapons. A few H-Bombs exist, not...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    This is pretty close to correct, except for the fact that there will be a number of rather inspiring stories related to churchmen of all stripes who sacrificed themselves to protect others. Separating the sheep from the goats will be a long process.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Church is in an interesting situation. It has the support of the Italian government, at least to a point. That has defended it from the worst of the Naxi demands, but it hasn't protected individual members of the Clergy from the Party (which, quite correctly, sees any religion as a...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Carrier force has kept some of their aircraft, mainly fighters and S-2, but many of the "strike" aircraft are ashore, especially the A-1 which can not refuel. The aircraft that are able to refuel are, as you note, less range sensitive. There are a few escort carriers in the Channel, but...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Americans always preferred simple names, usually colors while the British had an equally strong preference for colorFUL names (frex: it was the British who came up with the names for many of the American aircraft). I always thought it was an interesting and somewhat counter intuitive...
  20. Nazi Carriers

    The only thing the Reich could build that was more worthless than a 45,000 ton BB was a carrier. Carriers require LOTS of work to function properly. Air groups have to be kept sharp, CAP and strike escort tactics have to be drilled until they are second nature, even the simple matter of deck...
