  1. WI the Turbot War became an actual war?

    Absolutely. Of course the only way to get the POD to turn into an actual war, which seemed to be the goal, was for everyone involved to go totally maddog insane, throw common sense out the window, and bay at the moon. Irving the ASB was going to be REAL busy.:D
  2. WI the Turbot War became an actual war?

    Hence the 1/1/95 date. Ivan didn't get the deck OPERATIONAL until mid-1995. I didn't miss the three ships you mention. Broken isn't operating. You are correct regarding the Harrier version. Thanks.
  3. WI the Turbot War became an actual war?

    Well, in this level of ASB you will then see the USN mop the floor of the North Atlantic with anything not flying the Stars & Stripes or Maple Leaf. The UK falls in with the U.S. & Canada France blusters, but is smart enough to count bayonets and the MN stays in port. The rest of NATO thinks...
  4. WI the Turbot War became an actual war?

    The Spanish can NOT operates Bugs off their deck. The ship itself is also not a carrier, not in any real sense, it is a 'phib.
  5. WI the Turbot War became an actual war?

    On January 1 1995 here is the complete list of countries operating carriers capable of handling supersonic aircraft: 1. The United States 2. France There are no other entries. Through deck cruisers & sea control ships are nice additions, but they are NOT, by any stretch "aircraft...
  6. World war 2 ends in a stalemate

    This is true if you are not a lunatic. Hitler wasn't sane. A week before he killed himself he was still ordering around ARMIES (not divisions, or even corps mind you, but armies) that no longer existed into battle and fully believed they would save Berlin and drive the Red Army back. Worse...
  7. WI the Turbot War became an actual war?

    Where does this engagement occur? Red Flag at Nellis? Gee, if only there was a modern CARRIER available for the engagement. Sadly there isn't. The Armada Espanola operated a single baby flattop at the time. No cats, no arrestor gear, V/STOL only. It had now added a second deck, but both are...
  8. WI the Turbot War became an actual war?

    While wars have started over lesser issues than this, those generally happened when there was one one around with a trace of common sense. That wasn't the case here. But, to go with this to the illogical conclusion... The USN, which OWNS the North Atlantic (actually which owns any body of...
  9. World war 2 ends in a stalemate

    The Kreigsmarine, unless we are talking about the vaporware of Plan Z, was a joke as far as force projection. The U-boat force was a threat to shipping in 1942, before the U.S. had the massive expansion of forces especially in destroyers and long range patrol bombers, but after that it was no...
  10. WI: Japanese fleet in NATO?

    Actually, the NATO rules are specific in their limitations. The member states MAY act in concert with other states outside of the North Atlantic region but there is no requirement. A good example is 1982 Falklands. That attack didn't set off the Alliance.
  11. World war 2 ends in a stalemate

    No. Not if you mean WW II as IOTL. Japan was absolutely doomed the minute it attacked the U.S. Germany was doomed as soon as the initial Summer Blitz failed to knock the Soviets out. The initial Heer attack itself was almost certain to fail since it was insufficiently powerful, but it had...
  12. Belgian airforce adopts the Fokker G1 as first

    The Germans had both of the other factors I mentioned, a need for radar equipped night fighters and later in the war a ground attack version. Even with that being said, every Me-110 built after 1941 was a waste of resources that would have been far better spent on FW-190s.
  13. Belgian airforce adopts the Fokker G1 as first

    Reality check time Heavy Fighters were an idea whose time had come and gone by 1935. The Me-110 is the classic example. Destroyer pilots died en-masse when they faced single seat fighters, be they Hurricanes, Mustangs, Spitfires, Thunderbolts Typhoon, or Tomahawks. THe G1 would have suffered...
  14. Challenge:Rommel commander of the NATO.

    There has NEVER been a German SACEUR. For that matter there has never a non American SACEUR. Under the current NATO structure the top slot will ALWAYS be a four star American Officer. The first German Deputy SACEUR was General Gerd Schmueckle who was appointed in 1978. Until then the Deputy...
  15. Challenge:Rommel commander of the NATO.

    Without getting into Rommel's qualities as a commander, I would point out that he was not in the sort of health that you indicate. Besides his well know medical issues, he was also shot up by the RAF just a few days before the July 20 Plot failed. It is also worth noting that Erhard Milch...
  16. Challenge:Rommel commander of the NATO.

    ASB? NATO means something utterly different than our T/L? The Alliance finds out that the nominal commander will have to be shot at sunrise the next day? Seriously, even if Rommel had survived the war, which was far from a sure bet even without the July 20 plot, he would have, at best...
  17. The Rubensdorffer Doctine. Can make the Unmentionable Sea Mammal Works?

    Your problem in getting responses may have something to do with the fact you posted a rapidshare link.
  18. WI Hitler Flees to National Redoubt

    I am amazed that, even after having been told, in some detail, that the scenario is not repairable, in any way, shape or form, that you continue to push out these sort of ideas. I understand that you are 14, but you would, I hope, have read at least something on these subjects beyond the Wiki...
  19. U.S. to annex Japan post WW:II

    Well, a word of advice may be in order. Anime is a remarkably poor place to start a POD. This idea is WAY beyond ASB.
  20. WI Hitler Flees to National Redoubt

    Austria WAS part of Germany. Crowds cheered the day the Heer marched in. Granted, they didn't cheer much a few years later, but then there were NO Nazi's in Germany when the Allies entered. At least that's what the populous claimed.:rolleyes: Okay, you're 14. Maybe you need to do a bit more...
