  1. Blackmailing the U.S.

    Quite right. The Imperial government spent a great deal of effort trying to get some sort of arrangement with the U.S. (on terms similar to those outlined). The intermediaries approached all explained to the Japanese that they were on a fool's errand. There is also the practical matter of...
  2. The Axis Powers Invade the Med instead of the USSR in 1941

    The Med was a sideshow While the strategic elements here would have been of some use (although there was no way the Reich could present a credible threat to the Raj) it would not have supported Hitler's primary goal (and overriding obsession) of destroying the USSR. It would also not have...
  3. Cloverfield

    They show at least one M1 Abrams & an M-109 (which gets stepped on & squished).
  4. A Second American Civil War:

    Not on this Earth. Utter ASB. Might be a fun T/L to play with in the ASB forum.
  5. Different Result in Khafji

    The reason that the Coalition didn't push forces into Khafji was because that was exactly what Saddam (or at least his field commander) was counting on the Saudi's & Americans doing. He was attempting to create a "Fire Sack" or an ambush for Coalition forces to rush into and be destroyed. This...
  6. Cloverfield

    Define "lots". :D
  7. Challenge: The Germans use jet bombers during the Blitz

    How about the simple fact is that there is no way for this to happen short of ASB intervention? The reason these early prototypes didn't move forward was they simply were NOT READY for prime time. These POD's always seem to go WI the Germans did XXXX? The thing that gets me is that it never...
  8. How plausible is an Axis Victory

    Hmmm... A democratic President impeached by a Democratic House & Senate for something that can only be done by CONGRESS. (Congress has the Power to Declare War, all the President can do is request it.) Seems a bit dicey.
  9. Baltic Invasion??

    Stalin was going to get Eastern Europe. This had been decided at Tehran. This entire scenario, as has been noted before would be an utterly unjustifiable risk with extremely high likelyhood of losses far in excess of OTL and a reasonable probability of total failure. Losses to Allied Naval...
  10. An New Twist on the 2000 election

    Actually the Asteroid is WAY more likely.
  11. An New Twist on the 2000 election

    There is also a small chance that a asteroid will hit the Earth before I can finish this-
  12. The Czech-German War: 1938-January 1939

    https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=80152 If you go to this thread you will probably find that this issue was beaten to bloody pulp. There is also a great deal of information on OOB (including size of the Czech Army vs. the Heer), production numbers of armor...
  13. Avoiding Lost Decades: A Modern History (1979-2019)

    Sure, no problem at all. Simply reverse 30 centuries of culture and tradition in a stroke. You are planning to recreate an economy basis by the addition of a Central bank (which in itself would be a massive shift in the Japanese economy and would likely stifle the conditions that allowed the...
  14. The Czech-German War: 1938-January 1939

    Didn't we just do this?
  15. What if the battleship USS Texas had been sunk by a U-Boat on the 20/6/1941?

    Hitler was stupid enough to delcare war on the United States AFTER he invaded the USSR. The man was nuts.
  16. What if the battleship USS Texas had been sunk by a U-Boat on the 20/6/1941?

    On the American side it would be, assuming that there wasn't a sneak attack at some point. That was the part of Pearl Harbor that really put the set in the collective American jaw, which only got stiffer as the mistreatment of the Western POWs came to light, starting with the Death March...
  17. Challenge: Neutral Germany in the WWII

    Sadly, Germany can not avoid being involved in WW II. Her status as a neutral will change the shape of the war, but eventually Stalin would have made his move and dragged Germany into a war, whether it wanted one or not. This WW II could actually become the Capitalist/Communist war that never...
  18. What if the battleship USS Texas had been sunk by a U-Boat on the 20/6/1941?

    The Pacific War was inevitable. This would just greatly complicate the Japanese planning. It is unlkely that, with a war already underway, that the U.S. would move the PAcific Fleet battle Line out to Pearl simply to show resolve (which was why the battleships were at Pearl in the first place)...
  19. Avoiding Lost Decades: A Modern History (1979-2019)

    This TL has simply jumped the believability shark. It started at the very outer edge of possible with Japan avoiding the '90s crash (something that requires Japan to alter the very foundation of its economy, the foundation that allowed for the economic growth that made Japan an economic...
  20. Baltic Invasion??

    How much range do you think they need? Those carrier groups will need to go through those straits, to be in position to defend the beachhead (Unless you are seriously planning to force them to overfly the Danish Peninsula on every single mission:eek:). Once there, they can be cut off by five...
