  1. Directive 51: DtF done RIGHT!

    I ask my CO. Being a college graduate who has a 10th grade understanding of the Constitution he orders me to shoot the NCC imposter as he is clearly an "enemy foreign or domestic" to the United States of America. Problem solved.
  2. WI: No Soviet entry in Pacific War

    The point wasn't to STOP the invasion. The entire point of the Japanese was to make the Americans bleed. They had, through their embassies in 3rd countries, access to the American media. They had read the papers during Okinawa, especially the Republican papers. They had read the stories about...
  3. WI: No Soviet entry in Pacific War

    This simply not true, any of it. The Japanese had figured out EXACTLY where the Kyushu landings were going to occur. They had managed to move over hundreds of thousands of fully armed armed troops into position (including several rock solid Kwantung Army divisions) and had better than 11,000...
  4. WI: No Soviet entry in Pacific War

    This would probably mean the entire Downfall operation has to proceed, with all the horrors it would have entailed. Figure an easy 10 million extra Japanese dead (mostly civilian "volunteers) and at least that many more maimed and anywhere from 250,000 to 700,000 Allied (mainly American) KIA...
  5. Directive 51: DtF done RIGHT!

    Presidential Directives or Executive Orders do NOT trump the Constitution. The order of succession is enshirined in the Constitution via part of the 20th and 25th Amendments. The President can do a lot with a stroke of a pen, he can't change basic law, despite what GW liked to believe.
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Tell the truth, I haven't gone that deep into my "worldview", so I have no idea what may have happened to specific political leaders in South America, even the famous ones. Overall many of the political leaders in the major players of the Alliance are different due to butterflies (as an example...
  7. Directive 51: DtF done RIGHT!

    Seems a bit weak on the whole Constitution thing too. :rolleyes:
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The USN actually tried parts of what I suggest IOTL. Some of the CVE hung on as Helo Assault Carriers until the introduction of the Iwo Jima amphibious assault ships in the 1960s.
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Ah, the crystal ball is cloudy.:eek: All will soon become clear. :D
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Escorts have hit their practical limit. They fly Bearcats and AF Guardians for the most part while the Marines have figured out a way, using hydralic catapults, to fly Corsairs off the ships designated for CAS. The Marines also have a number of escort carriers that have been half-way converted...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Sheridan has somewhat more speed than the original Sherman and the same as the M26. The Chamberlain is about 1-2 MPH slower. The Sheridan is about as fast as every U.S. tank prior to the M1 (1-2 MPH really isn't signifcant). Both are pigs compared to an Abhams, but just about every tank in...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I didn't, not to any depth. The RCN is heavy on escorts with a few cruisers. They operate about 10 escort carriers, mainly to provide convoy escort and CAS for Canadian troops ashore. Canada is where a significant percentage of Britian's arm manufacturing is located, well out of range of the...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Actually they are now using the Victory Ships (Haskell Class AKA)and newer designs like the Thomaston Class LSD, and LSV like the Montauk. Not that a lot of Liberty ships are still in use and are humping across the Atlantic full of unhappy soldiers. Even with just the M26, and some starry eyed...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    They did, except they are not called SAS. They are LLRP (hey, I like the way it sounds when you say it out loud) and they are the direct decenants of the Burma jungle raiders. The U.S. groups are known as Alamo Scouts Still a crazy bunch of bastards, but now it is "the jungle is your friend"...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    They were/are interested. They also, however, have a great belief in their bombers, and they have developed some good decent range ASM that are avout on par with OTL (the USN, as an example, had a whole series of ASM that never were used since while the navy has the "A" part of the name in...
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Allies have some serious lags, especially in IRBM tech. Simply put, they don't have any. The best they have is something close to the early A4, and it has "issues" (like blowing up on the pad on a regular basis). NACA had already found the same significance of the swept wing independently...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I see that there is a bit of debate regarding the quality of the Waffen SS compared to the Allied armies. I though the T/L explained it early on, but since that was a while ago (both in time and in posts) here is another thumbnail sketch. In the post victory over the USSR period and with the...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The long distance is by train (and the rail network will be discussed in the next post), but the question was related to bridges, etc and whether they could handle heavy armor. The short answer is they can.
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Not really. I do have a brief wrap up outlined, but I'll just leave it at that for now.
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I didn't see this question before, sorry. The Philippines were granted Independence, as IOTL. The overall Philippine experience was virtually the same as IOTL, although the liberation was somewhat earlier (by a few months). The countries of the Alliance, especially the English speaking...
