  1. WI: Dave Navarro stayed with RHCP

    Loud? Very Loud? VERY VERY LOUD? HUH?
  2. What if Creed didn't break up?

    Creed broke up?:confused: Oh. I guess that will suffice as an answer to the POD. :p
  3. Better Shermans Pershings Earlier

    Short answer is no. However, since I HATE brevity... :p The much repeated horror tales about the Sherman are just that, tales. The Sherman was, without question, inferior to the Panther, Tiger, and even the Pz IV long barrel in tank on tank combat. The thing is, there was very little...
  4. Preview Aliiance the Turning Tide

    I don't want you to DO anything. I would suggest that if you don't want feedback, it might be wise not ask for it.
  5. Could an FT-17 tank take out the following.

    The FT-17, with the SA 18 37mm Gun could penetrate 20mm of armor at 100 meters, 14mm at 500 meters. PzKpfw I - Max armor was 13mm PzKpfw II - Max armor, depending on model was 14mm or 20/30mm (excepting the turret TOP). PzKpfw III - 17mm (top of turret and top of hull) to 30mm/50mm (again...
  6. Preview Aliiance the Turning Tide

    Turtledove has published a couple dozen books, some of them quite respected Alt History, some of them utter crap. He has built enough of a fan base that even his crap sells. Unless you have a major following waiting for your next work, I'd suggest emulating the good stuff.
  7. The Rhineland Accident of 1935

    Likely something like what happens when the male lion shows weakness. Some other younger lion, or lions, come along and rips the weakling to shreds.
  8. 6 Inches To The Right

    VERY like the Nazi's?:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Industrialized genocide? Even Stalin and Mao didn't go that far.
  9. US Blockades Japan Instead Of Overlord

    It happens. :) Check out the link I posted, it will give you LOTS of background.
  10. Preview Aliiance the Turning Tide

    Who overpowers Britain? Surely not Hitler. You can't possibily be implying the marine mammal? :eek::eek::eek::eek: Hitler forming an alliance with the Communist USSR is out of the question. A non-agression pact is one thing, but actually making common cause with STALIN???? Even his loyal...
  11. US Blockades Japan Instead Of Overlord

    The invasion of Japan was code named Downfall, with the sub operations being Olympic (invasion of Kyushu) & Coronet (landings on Honshu). Overlord was the Normandy landings. By late July 1945, the B-29's were burning down a Japanese city every other day. Had the A-Bomb not come into play, the...
  12. Invasion and Occupation of Japan

    Actually it was Honshu. Hokkaido is the far northern island. Honshu is where Tokyo is located. BTW: There is a good chance that, thanks to the '45 typhoon and intel of the massive build-up on Kyushu, that the main thrust would have been straight at Honshu (Coronet without being preceded by...
  13. Invasion and Occupation of Japan

    1. Roughly a year. 2. As long as it took to get a friendly government in place and in control. 3. Greatly over stated, just becuase you give som,eone a spear, it doesn't mean they will use the spear. This especially true if they are on the edge of death by starvation. 4. Absolutely (see...
  14. Ameriwank: ARW

    Bunker (actually Breed's) Hill could have been a straight up Colonial victory. It is actually easier to make into a complete success than most of the rest of the list (especially those involving Canada). An additional 3000 rounds (and, in a perfect world, about 50-75 additional Pennsylvania...
  15. Spain in the Axis

    This would be a disaster for the Reich. Spain doesn't give the Axis anything useful in return for the extra effort it presents. They add another weak sister, almost certainly the Heer will have to send troops (which they don't have) to support the Spanish Army, much as happened with Italy. This...
  16. Nazi plans for US

    There is, supposedly, a sequel to Mein Kampf where Hitler waxes poetic on plans to clear the U.S. of it's minorities and Jews, leaving only what he thought was the decendants of best of Europe's peoples (seemingly because their ancestors were the brave ones willing to go into the unknown). I...
  17. Magic, Ultra, and Operation Olympic

    We had this POD come up a few times of late. Operation Olympic is likely to be delayed due to damage cause by the October '45 typhoons. This would give allied planners more time to develop what was already being considered, a straight jump to Operation Coronet. (This was based on the degree...
  18. Mass execution of the SS

    ARGH!! Must... not... feed... the... troll...
  19. April 1945 The Red Army rolls into Western Europe

    They would if the Red Army was trying to kill them. The scenario is a Soviet ATTACK against the West immediately upon the German collapse. This isn't going to be voted on. It's going to be fight or wind up at the tender mercies of the NKVD.
