  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    One of the things that the Reich has done, and actually planned before the war even began, is create a transport net that is designed to allow for rapid movement of their troops, especially the Waffen SS heavy units. It it more or less an autobahn that covers Western Europe. The difficulties...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Eddie Aikau is a legend among water sports fans, and in outdoors sports circles overall. Great surfer, super lifeguard, generally good guy. He died while trying to save a group of shipmates who were trying to replicate the migration across the Pacific that ended in Hawaii. "Eddie would go!" is...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Yea, that diversion of men and material may be a problem. :D
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Yea, the M92 is sort of the M103 on steroids. :D I mention earlier in the T/L that the Allies have a very large number of carriers (the USN pretty much OTL's 24+6 Essex (some with the new angled deck moderization) plus 7 Midway class angled deck ships. The first of the new generation CVA-59...
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here is the next update. Comments are encouraged. :) Hope you enjoy it. 7. The Allied reaction to the unpleasant surprise of their inferiority in tank designs, and the even more pronounce inferiority in infantry anti-tank weapons is perhaps the most instructive event of the entire final...
  6. D-Day WI

    The only way the Balkans happens is if FDR, Marshall, King, and every other American officer over the rank of Major is struck down by a sudden fever. Even getting Italy past the U.S. leadership, which wanted nothing to do with the whole region was a great "victory" for Churchill and company &...
  7. Dreadnought expert?

    There was a very good reason that the British were willing to shed Dreadnought and her near sisters. They were already obsolete. While a true revolution when built ships of the early era of "All Big Gun" designs were quickly overtaken by the technology of the time. A quick look at the...
  8. Dreadnought expert?

    I'd suggest you put the question(s) out here for the Hivemind. We are all smarter together than independently.
  9. Cascadia, A Pacific Republic

    Yuo could just state the POD, but the changes have to be accounted for. There will almost certainly be no WW I, WW II, Korean War, etc. That mean that there is almost certainly no Soviet Union, State of Israel, independent India, no Castro, FDR, Truman, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, and so on. It...
  10. Cascadia, A Pacific Republic

    Welcome to the Board. I'm sure you will enjoy it her. It is just unfortunate that you made this scenario your first post. While I love the Cascadia idea, been using it as a player in Shared World's just about every time I make an appearance there, this is so far out that it would require deep...
  11. Challenge: President Glenn Beck

    The title of this thread made me throw up in my mouth a little.
  12. Argentina 'repatriates' Falklands population in 1982

    Easier ways to get killed than crashing into the Atlantic. Acsension Island is 2,844 miles from the most north easterly bit of Argentina, and well over 3,000 miles from the nearest heavy jet runway. What would they have attacked with, a 737? The British were on high alert, as were the...
  13. Argentina 'repatriates' Falklands population in 1982

    There was a great deal of, at the time, VERY quiet cooperation by the U.S. & NATO with the UK. The U.S., among other things that are now in the public record, was providing real-time Sat Intel (aka: National Technical Means) to the British, and that entailed, among other things, retasking a...
  14. Argentina 'repatriates' Falklands population in 1982

    Yep. This might have been enough to push the U.S. from "let's all get along" into "We're with ya' Maggie, lets stack some asses!"
  15. In "Axis won the WWII" world...

    Yea, but he's cool as long as you lay off of his rum. :D
  16. In "Axis won the WWII" world...

    The problem is that the Axis would never have been capable of conquering the Western Hemisphere. NEVER. The reasons are legion, but unless the Greek Gods of myth suddenly appear and throw in with the Italians, the Norse Gods with the Germans, and every Kami in Japan's legends materialize, all...
  17. Conditional Japanese Surrender and the Cold War

    It is an interesting question. TRhe danger, of courrse, is that they are actually viewed as real weapons instead of being the Boogey Man.
  18. Conditional Japanese Surrender and the Cold War

    If you include the use of "Comfort Women" in the rape category (which I do), close to the entire Japanese deployed force would be guilty.
  19. What if the 'Business Plot' had been offered to MacArthur?

    You have to know that something is beyond the Pale for me to stand up for Dugout Doug. :p
  20. What if the 'Business Plot' had been offered to MacArthur?

    Oh. In that case, a bit of Cultural Imperialism sounds pretty good. Black Tea, with two lumps, if you will.
