  1. Pacific War Redux

    Thanks for the feedback. To briefly respond to your questions. The Build-up of facilities on both Wake & Guam are pushed forward by close to a year (in the case of Guam, by two) when the POD occurs and the Navy Department starts to move with a purpose. This whole TL is built around what you...
  2. U.S. Navy SEALs Vs. British SAS

    SEAL teams operate as boat crews (7 men, the number that will fit into a semi rigid inflatable raft), normally in pairs (14 men) depending on the mission. A full Seal Team is much larger than 120 men (right now the Teams are around 2,500 men, in 8-9 teams). SAS numbers are a bit more difficult...
  3. Pacific War Redux

    December 16 & 17 Here is the latest update. Enjoy. As always, comments are very much encouraged. December 16, 1941 General Harold Alexander is appointed as the replacement for Arthur Percival as commander of British Forces Malaya. Percival has been sacked by the Prime Minister following...
  4. U.S. Navy SEALs Vs. British SAS

    I would predict that they would beat each other senseless with pillows tripping over the roughly 8,000 beer bottles required to get them to participate in such stupidity.
  5. Full-Scale Conventional WWIII

    The Armor of the T-72 was very much the same. Crew quality was undoubtedly better, although not dramatically better than the Republican Guard (the USSR was a conscript force, and, as it turns out, not anywhere near as well trained as once imagined) and the Republican Guard was meat on the table...
  6. Full-Scale Conventional WWIII

    Not a chance. The Turks would fold the Bulgarian Army up like a paper airplane. The Romainian force in 1984 wasn't even mobile, their maintence was so poor that most tanks couldn't even start. Iraq, in 1984, was a Western ally (yea, I know, weird). Flying helos into and through the...
  7. Full-Scale Conventional WWIII

    Absolutely. NATO would never have been able to get the political buy-in from the Council to ATTACK the USSR, the European countries, especially the BRD and Norway, knew WHERE that fight was going to happen, and Kansas or Scotlans weren't the location. I have to say that, when it comes to a...
  8. Pacific War Redux

    The 2pdr item is from OTL. Apparently, either the MK of gun or the ammunition provided to the units in Malaya was unequal to the task.
  9. Pacific War Redux

    Oh, BTW: The next set of posts, I'm going to correct what I think was one of the dumber procurement decisions made by the U.S. in 1940-41. It's GOOD to be the writer.:D
  10. Pacific War Redux

    Yea, I may have pushed that one a bit too fast. I was going on the assumption that, with the Legaspi landing short circuited by the American strike in the Paulas & Aparri assault lost in the Batan Island debacle's aftermath, that the push on Homma from GHQ would be strong enough to push...
  11. Pacific War Redux

    The garrision is almost exactly double OTL. It has a full Coastal Defense Battalion, instead of the half battalion IOTL. It is also fully fitted out. One thing to keep in mind is that at this point the Japanese are trying to keep track of offensive operation scattered around a quarter of the...
  12. Pacific War Redux

    Yep. As the saying goes %$#^ happens. The Japanese came cose to getting the Lex a couple of times (in fact the I-6 almost got her near where this ALT event takes place.) Thing about butterflies is they aren't always your friend.:) Thanks for the feedback.
  13. Pacific War Redux

    Here is December 12, 13, 14. As in earlier posts, actual historical items are in italics. A point for those who are just joining the T/L at this point. The PODs that have created this ALT are very U.S. specific as the all occur after the start of the European war (the primary triggering events...
