  1. US attacks Israel in '03 instead of Iraq. My first TL in the making.

    Oh yea. This is definitely a job for Skippy the ASB.
  2. US attacks Israel in '03 instead of Iraq. My first TL in the making.

    This is never going to hold water. I have seen salad spinners with fewer holes. Comparing Weimar Germany and its rather hopeless set of laws covering the leadership to the United States, with a couple centuries of solid civilian and democratic leadership is yet another tea cup to Lake...
  3. US attacks Israel in '03 instead of Iraq. My first TL in the making.

    They did NOT take all the Japanese into Internment camps. They were moved into camps (quite illegally it must be stressed) along the Western Seaboard (ONE military district, mainly because the General in command was a racist of the 1st order). That did NOT happen in Hawaii, or in Louisiana or...
  4. US attacks Israel in '03 instead of Iraq. My first TL in the making.

    The U.S. was NEVER under Martial Law. EVER. Not during the War of 1812, The Civil War, or at any other time. Portions of the U.S. have been, for extremely limited periods of time, usually after a Hurricane, placed into States of Emergency, but the entire U.S. has never come close to that & an...
  5. US attacks Israel in '03 instead of Iraq. My first TL in the making.

    Need to put this back in ASB where it belongs. Quickly. There is a better chance of me getting elected POTUS without even mentioning I'm interested in the position than David Duke being elected. The President of the United States only goes to the Capital on very special occasions (The...
  6. Soviet Stealth

    Yes, the USSR, which tried to wring military utility out of EVERYTHING (including thought projection), invented a method of avoiding radar and didn't realize the military utility of it.:rolleyes: Please.
  7. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    The fireball and the blast wave were the entire point of the weapon. Given the location of Hitler's Bunker and the very high likelihood that the Reichstag would be the aiming point for any nuclear device Hitler, Eva and the rest of the Nazi gang in that bunker, or any other bunker within...
  8. The Neterlands buys the unfinished Mackensen battlecruisers

    If this is a scenario where the Dutch somehow get a bottomless bag of money, then the situation is radically different. I am, however, wondering where they get the bottomless bag of money. The Dutch were far from the wealthiest state on Earth (the Dutch GDP in the last prewar year was right...
  9. The Neterlands buys the unfinished Mackensen battlecruisers

    All putting these ships into the DEI is give the JNAF more outdated designs to kill. At most you get a guest appearance by one of the Kido Butai's three carrier division which proceed to blow the pogies out of the ships unless they withdraw to Sydney or Perth. The IJN and IJA swept over the...
  10. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    Well the good news is that Berlin would almost certainly be the target (unless the Allies received credible Intel that Hitler had fled to his Bavarian redoubt) and Hitler's famed bunker was not going to save anyone from a NUDENT.
  11. Operation Dynamo

    I have to say your basic premise is flawed, namely that the failure to evac the BEF would cause a British surrender (and make no bones about it, in the circumstances you are positing, it would be a surrender). The loss of the forces would, undoubted be a blow, but considering the losses...
  12. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    As an aside, I would strongly recommend against using anything Hoyt wrote as reference. He has proven to be the History Channel of writers (i.e. wrong on basic facts with stunning regularity).
  13. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    The six million figure is the number of Ukrainians who Stalin MURDERED via starvation, not the population of the Ukraine. The population of the Ukraine in 1940 was~40 million (this includes those parts of the Ukraine annexed by the USSR in 1939). If the population had been only six million...
  14. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    Not ignoring the facts at all. If anyone is ignoring the facts... The Germans did indeed raise divisions from the Estonians and other Baltic States and they fought like mad men, especially toward the end, when they knew that the alternative was going back to Soviet Control. The SS Charlemagne...
  15. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    Wow. I am pretty much in complete agreement. Trying to think of the last time that happened. :p As I noted the two circumstances I mentioned were the only possible ways to see the Reich win. The combination of circumstances could (always the $64,000 question that "could) have set off a...
  16. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    You used the right word "fable". In the 1st year there were only two things that would ensure the USSR loses and they BOTH have to happen which is tough since they are both close to ASB These are: 1. German policy encourages rebellion among the "Soviet" minorities (i.e. anyone other than...
  17. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    Probably already does.:p Although BW does do an Axiswankish T/L now & then, he seems to be pretty well up on the WW II players.
  18. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    Actually BW seems to have the bit in his teeth very nicely. :p
  19. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    Many of us haven't commented because yours posts can not be read without extraordinary effort. I keep hoping you will go to readable because the subjects have a degree of promise for discussion, but as is...
  20. Moscow or Kiev-- How Germany could have won WW2

    You have got to change your font to something readable. I'm not sure if you are copying these things from another Board you've posted them to in the past or what, but they are virtually unreadable as is.
