  1. Timeline Request

    They can attack the USSR. They can not successfully engage them. They will get their asses kicked, again, by the Red Army, and will have used up all their reserve oil in the process. Now they have Ivan hugely pissed off, which will not work out well for them in the long run, AND they now lack...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here's a brief update. Comments encouraged. :) 12 While Operation Thorn Bush has entered into the Staff College syllabus mainly as the best real world example of combined amphibious/airborne operations to date, even in the Staff coursework some of the more controversial aspects of the...
  3. Can United States Conquer the World?

    Depends on the definition of conquer. The U.S. could start a war that would result in the death of 80-90% of the human population and might have a military force left that would over match any other pocket of pitiful survivors. That would allow them to conquer the world. If you mean...
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    WAY better than my feeble attempt.:D Thanks!! Finland is ITTL sort of trapped by its decision to help the Nazis in the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" effort against the Soviets. The country would love to declare itself neutral but the Allies aren't likely to buy it & the Nazis would go...
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Exactly. Pretty much as IOTL.:D
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I do ask for comments, I actually appreciate questioning and/or negative comments quite a bit. I believe that they are critical to improving a given work and/or improving future efforts. I thank you for them To respond to the comments regarding the Clancy-ish elements: Guilty in that I am an...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I did mention the whole "I suck at making maps " right?:( That was SUPPOSED to be the same light blue. Oops.
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well, hopefully this will show what the world looks like. Black is the Reich Red is Italy Violet is the territory controlled by the Reich Light purple is the USSR Yellow is "the East" effectively no man's land. The Reich says it theirs, the USSR is quietly saying it is theirs. Dark Green is...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That is about the size of it. The Reich has some very good point inteceptors, short legs. but great rate of climb and heavily armed that were designed to defeat the B-36 (or the Luftwaffe Fw-688) and other aircraft in that performance range. Some of the Luftwaffe's aircraft are equal to the...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Shoot! Now I have change the ending! :D Thanks for the kind words.
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    THe Nazi leadership has as much as issued a press release that they have wiped out the Jews. As part of the 1947 PoW exchange, they sent 2,578 Jews to the Allies in return for two ship loads of raw rubber (this is covered in the early part of the T/L) with a statement that these were all the...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Welcome to the Board (or at least to posting :D) As already noted, there are three elements to the "Invasions". Gravel and Maverick are still to come. The T/L is a bit of an Alliedwank, but, as you say, that is pretty much the way things would wind up. The Reich is on the wrong side of a...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There is a lot of war remaining. The British will be very much in the thick of things as time goes on. The Allies are, as far as possible, staying with the winning combinations from the Pacific. The U.S. worked, on the ground, mostly with the Australians and the Canadians. This was especially...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I always like the thing as a kid. I used it here because it was air transportable. :D I will go into the background of the Thorn Bush criticism in the next post.
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here is the next update. Comments are always very welcome. 11. Operation Thorn Bush is unquestionably the most criticized of the Invasions undertaken to liberate Europe. Many of the Operation’s most severe critics point, ironically, to its great success as proof that it should never have...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The rump Soviet State has its hands full just holding down various revolution efforts and assassination attempts. To say that Molotov & Co are unpopular would be an epic understatement. Without the strongman Stalin and the extremely organized NKVD to support him (part of the NKVD is actually...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The SS tank divisions have been pretty well brutalized during the False Peak operations. As noted, the top leadership had a playbook and they stayed with it despite the disasters that continued to befall them. The SS had somewhere north of 50 Panzer divisions when this started ITTL March of 1954...
  18. A different kind of wank thread; small arms that should never have seen service

    Reising Gun - The clown who ordered 100,000 of the poorly made, jam prone pieces of crap should have been forced to use one on Guadalcanal. Chauchat Light Machine Gun - We need a weapon to use in the mud filled tenches of the Western Front of WW I. Lets use a half moon magazine design for the...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Believe me, so do I. The more I work on this T/L and have to consider the impact the worse it gets. I started this mainly as a thought exercise to work out what a conquered Europe might look like based on what the Party had outlined in its own planning. The addtional work needed to keep the...
