  1. Normandy: Redux

    Your friend is, simply put, wrong. There was a reason that the Allies landed across a wide front, including Omaha; it was to avoid exactly this sort of scenario by a significant armored force (more like a Corps, not an understrength division) attacking and cutting off lines of communication. The...
  2. would actually happen to the Luftwaffe if world war II lasted tell late 1946?

    Good point, although I would suggest it is more a lack of concern for personnel than planes. The Axis powers, along with the USSR, had very little regard for their human capital.
  3. Soviet-Japanese conflict in 1939-1941

    The Red Army crushes the IJA, just like they did IOTL. Link (one of VERY many sources): http://www.onwar.com/aced/data/sierra/sovietjapan1939.htm The only way the Japanese defeat the USSR on the ground is by divine intervention. The Soviet counter offensives in the West (e.g. Eastern Front)...
  4. Normandy: Redux

    Only on days ending in a "Y":D
  5. Normandy: Redux

    Not at all. The closer the tank divisions got to the beach area, the more concentrated and vulnerable to air power they became. It became much more difficult to hide the presence of a large number of vehicles, and the HUMIT resources the Allies had in the area were fully capable of realizing...
  6. Japanese Victory (?)

    Not really. Japan had "X" amount of forces that were already stretched to the breaking point. A serious invasion attempt of Hawaii would have taken ALL the forces used in the East Indies and Malaya, plus most of the Phillipine force. It would have then left those troops in the middle of...
  7. Japanese Victory (?)

    No it wouldn't; especially since it would wind up with a bunch of plucky marines holding off the entire Japanese Empire. Before you float anything else, I suggest you search the Board (especially this Forum) first. Pretty much every scenario has already been tried, clawed, and chewed up...
  8. Normandy: Redux

    This would have been a smarter plan. It would have gotten the officer who proposed it killed, but it would still have been a better plan.
  9. Normandy: Redux

    Okay, let's look at this. 1st, none of these units was ready for immediate deployment as a coheisive striking force (I'll go into some detail in a bit). Second, even if they various units had been released to move as soon as the German MILITARY command (forget Hitler, I'm talking Rommel's...
  10. Nazis Invade India

    Short answer: They get their ass kick. Long asnwer: The Wehrmacht get's its collective ass kicked up between it's shoulders.
  11. Japanese Victory (?)

    Without going into great detail, which I have in other threads regarding a Hawaii invasion, it is flatly impossible. Japan lacked both the troops and logistical lift to make it possible, even if they could achieve air supremacy over the Islands, which they couldn't. It would also have been...
  12. Japanese Victory (?)

    There are several threads here that address this issue specifically, and the Japanese chances in general. Simply put, they didn't have any chance at all. Midway being an utter disaster would make no difference, not in the long term. Japan gains a position that it can't keep suppliued and can...
  13. WI: 1989 USSR attacks NATO

    Any attempt to put anything beyond some Spetsnaz teams from a sub into North America would be an utter disaster (even the sub insertion would be questionable, with SOSUS and SURTAS in operation by that time). The U.S. and Canada maintained significant air defenses that were designed to stop...
  14. Normandy: Redux

    Actually, so am I. I thought it would gain some traction and make an interesting multi-party discussion (as opposed to on-on-one debate with no likely resolution).
  15. would actually happen to the Luftwaffe if world war II lasted tell late 1946?

    Because they couldn't be sure that the Rolls Royce engines weren't a better design than the German engines. In this case, especially once the F.4 came along, they were right to worry. The Rolls Dewert had better reliability and longer time between rebuild than the Junker Juno. The F.4 Meteor...
  16. would actually happen to the Luftwaffe if world war II lasted tell late 1946?

    You would have Meteors, Vampires, Furysm Shooting Stars, & XF-88A's (hey, why not an Allied concept or two!) fighting Swallows and (maybe) the Ta-183 Huckibein (although that is far from certain, given the gestation problems common to new designs) and some of the other vaporware German designs...
  17. WI: Lufwaffe squadrons fully devoloped and deployed at outbreak of World War 2.

    I haven't done a lot of research on the Ho-229 (I look at most of the "Luft '46" designs as being vaporware) but just a quick check on the web brought me to this Link: http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/AC/aircraft/Horten-Ho229/info/info.htm Lateral instability in level flight while in the...
  18. No Soviet Pilots in North Korean or Chinese Uniforms.

    I have to agree. While the Soviet pilots, many of them aces from the Great Patriotic War, were a cut above anything that the PRC or NK could put up simply from combat experience, there were still some very skilled pilots from both countries. These men were more than capable of demonstrating that...
  19. WI: Lufwaffe squadrons fully devoloped and deployed at outbreak of World War 2.

    Yet, despite the new equipment, the planned invasion of England never occurred. :D
  20. Nazis Invade the UK, 1950

    Well, I have to let the Admiral answer that. But in 1950 Germany women WERE in the workforce.
