  1. What if American pilots had failed to kill Yamamoto?

    NOT due to the American Volunteer Group, Bollocks Sound familiar?:rolleyes:
  2. WI No Miracle at Midway?

    How do I phrase this... Ah... WRONG! The JNAF post Midway was still a formidable force (witness the actions at East Solomons & Santa Cruz Island). It was the non-stop grinder of the Solomons that destroyed the pilot cadre, while the foolish decisions to send pilots who had been trained to...
  3. What if American pilots had failed to kill Yamamoto?

    Where do you get this stuff? The Flying Tigers, decimated BOTH the JNAF AND the IJA? BOLLOCKS! TOTAL AVG victories were between 120-220 air to air kills (aircraft, not pilots). That is hardly enough to decimate both air forces, it is likely that the combined units suffered that many...
  4. No North-African front

    With North Africa secure, there is little need to go after Malta, especially given German's complete lack of amphibious ability. If the british are in complete control of North Africa, and perhaps even Greece, the whole Italian campaign will become less attractive to Churchill. Perhaps the...
  5. What if American pilots had failed to kill Yamamoto?

    Little to none. Yamamoto couldn't create fleet units, better aircraft and experieced pilots out of thin air. It also need to be pointed out that Yamamoto wasn't the genius that he is often portrayed. He was a decent commander, but he tended towards the overly complex and counted, to far too...
  6. What IF the Combined Fleet Went to Oahu ?

    Without being able to access the map, I am really crippled. If I figure out a way to view it, I'll weigh in.
  7. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    That was frackin' brilliant. Implausable as hell, but still remotely possible, assuming the Japanese had any clue about the U.S.
  8. What IF the Combined Fleet Went to Oahu ?

    Wow, that's a really good logical idea.:) Sadly, it just isn't our way. :p:D:p
  9. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    But that doesn't destroy the beauty of it! :p:D:p
  10. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    Since the IJN is in the Artlantic on December 7, thanks to the brilliant squirrel camo, it can't exactly attack Pearl Harbor, can it? That would mean that the USN still has, hmmm.... (four... five...) EIGHT Battleships, to go with her THREE Carriers, TWELVE Heavy Cruisers, NINE Light Cruisers...
  11. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    You too huh? Let me know if you find the right combo of prayer and threats. :p:p:p
  12. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    Northern route between Japan and the Atlantic? Would that be the overland route across the USSR to the Arctic Sea or underwater past the North Pole, using their nuclear submarines?
  13. Help: OTL 1948 aviation/naval bases

    From New York? Australia, New Zealand, India (attache) Decent runner up is as an attache in Moscow. Time, in 1948? 3 -4 days.
  14. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    Wrong again. Here is what he actually said [/B]
  15. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    You may be right. It would explain a lot, wouldn't it? :D:p
  16. What IF the Combined Fleet Went to Oahu ?

    I responded to this in a different thread, so - Bollocks.
  17. Pacific War Redux

    I was thinking MAYBE a F7. I Know the Tigercat had torpedo shackles, not quite sure how fast it was when it was lugging one around.. I think that the ordies took so much grief early in the war that they overenginnered the late model MK XIII just a bit.:D
  18. Japan falls late 1943 -- effect on ETO

    Less than it initially appears. The Marine formations are ill suited for the ETO, very little armor, heavy artillery, trucks, etc. (there is even a variance in uniforms since the Corps never got far enough North to need Cold Weather gear). They also have a very short logistical tail, relying...
  19. December, 7, the assault on Washingon, D.C

    Uh, NO? ASB oh, need to type more HELL NO!
  20. WI No Miracle at Midway?

    That has always been the biggest potential impact from Midway. Japan didn't have a prayer either way, but even if the U.S. doesn't change anything regarding the direct aid (tank & the like) being sent to Europe, there could still be huge differences. Imagine if the U.S. didn't divert as much...
