  1. Argentina vs Chile

    War continues until Uncle decides it has to stop. Imposed arbitration, with the UN as the lead agency. Think Cyprus. The U.S. would eventually decide that it was in the National Interest to calm things down. Even in 1978, at the bottom of the post-'Nam downturn, a single American Carrier...
  2. 1945: Drive to the East to keep Poles and Hungarians and Czecks from of the USSR?

    Really?:eek::confused: I just thought it was an accent? :p
  3. WW2 began in 1945-WP and USA vs all!

    But we are facing 2,000,000,000 Italians armed with rocks. The U.S. is screwed.:eek: :D
  4. WI Argentina attacked the Falkland Islands in 1940?

    Dogs and cats sleeping together? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
  5. WI: Halsey was not foolish?

    The Yamato dies a few months earlier. Halsey wasn't foolish, he was over aggressive. There is a huge difference. Foolish means that you had no reason to act the way you did, over aggressive means you act too quickly. Grant was over aggressive, McClellan was foolish. Over aggressive can be...
  6. Gulf War WI: Worst Case Scenario for Coalition

    The reason that the Iraqi Air force did nothing was that if it flew and did anything by select Zone Five and blow over the frontier to Iran the plane, and generally the pilot, got killed. You would be lucky to get a single plane in to do actual damage. Even if you managed to completely shut down...
  7. AH Challenge: Make Bush into a Popular President

    The Social Security issue wasn't nearly as bad as that. It wasn't popular, but it wasn't a deal breaker for the average American. The Katrina issue, that was bad because it confirmed the belief that his administration was asleep at the switch. If he was hugely popular (or even seen as a good...
  8. AH Challenge: Make Bush into a Popular President

    That is the easiest way. Get bin Laden. Ideally kill his ass in Afghanistan to avoid any attempts to secure his release by terrorist attacks against U.S. targets. He would be the most popular President since FDR the day after bin Laden's death in this scenario. Either stay out of Iraq and keep...
  9. Pacific War Redux

    Not really. The numbers are for the G3M: 636 completed by 1941 (when the Nagoya Plant converted to full time G4M production) by Mitsubishi and roughly 250 by Nakajima (the Mitsubishi number can be exact because it stopped bulding the Nell in 1941, while Nakajima continued until early 1943, after...
  10. Pacific War Redux

    At this Point IOTL the Japanese had a total of roughly 850 G3M Nell and 450 G4M Betty bombers. Japanese losses are at 170 G3M and 160 G4M leaving them with slightly over 1,000 aircraft. Both aircraft are still coming out of the factories at a reasonable clip. The deployed aircraft are based on...

  12. Could the British Empire be Reformed? if so how?

    Apart from being a repulsive racist, gratuitously insulting, and incapable of having a civil argument, you're apparently pretty much batshit crazy. Banned. Thank you!
  13. WI Argentina attacked the Falkland Islands in 1940?

    Not to mention real suicide later. They have just thrown in with the NAZIS. FDR will LOVE that, anti-imperialist or not. Nothing like having the dominant power in the hemisphere who is already looking to be THE power after the war, really pissed off at you. Churchill, on the other hand, will...
  14. Pacific War Redux

    Thanks for the feedback. The IJN had a serious need for land based Zeros, much greater then the USN ever had for land based fighters. The Japanese, in one of the numerous "little things" that added up to a faster loss IOTL, effectively duplicated the bomber, fighter and recon for both...
  15. Pacific War Redux

    The Japanese Army codes, especially the senior officer code, weren't broken by this date. I'm not sure the Flag Code ever was (the IJN Admiral Code didn't get broken during the war), although the daily IJA codes became vulnerable in early 1943. This was a function of too few messages for...
  16. Pacific War Redux

    Thanks for the feedback. I have noted several actions by Dutch boats (the RN had no subs in the region IOTL or ITTL) with varying degrees of success. The Japanese actions in the DEI are proceeding at roughly the same pace as IOTL since these troops were not otherwise assigned in the ALT (as...
  17. Pacific War Redux

    The major differences ITTL are two-fold. The American/Philippine force held out much longer before falling back to Bataan and Wainwright used that time to pull his supplies in.
  18. Pacific War Redux

    Guess what the Long Beach is loaded with? Bunch are also on the way to Australia in crates as well, with a final planned destination of the DEI.
  19. Pacific War Redux

    Here is the update covering February 11-19, 1942 Enjoy. As always, comment very much encouraged.:D February 11, 1942 (Washington DC) High level representative from British government arrives in Washington to discuss “significant opportunity” for the Anglo-American Alliance. (Formosa)...
  20. Where would Germany launch amphibious assault in America?

    Hmmm... Companies want to make a profit. Of course no manufacturer made a penny during WW II. Who would have thought. The simple fact is that modern weapons use materials that are hellishly expensive, require ASSEMBLERS in some cases to have advanced degrees, and represent a complexity...
