  1. Jaures shot--and the revolution of 1914

    But "von Schlieffen Plan" SOUNDS so much more Prussian!:eek: :D :p :D :p :D
  2. Aleutians front what if

    The United States STILL can't find anything to do with the Aleutians, even today. Grabbing them was possibly the stupidest thing the Japanese did (besides starting the war in the 1st place), They were a bitch to supply, even without ANY opposition. If there had been any attempt to expand the...
  3. Your region in Dies the Fire?

    As a fellow Californian (although I live in the relatively water rich North) I can tell you for certain that we are toast. Good news (?) is that you will not starve. SoCal will die of thirst way before you run out of food.
  4. New Orleans Leaves The Union

    To my knowledge no part of Europe is home to the joy that is the Hurricane (or tropical cyclone). Building along the Gulf Coast, not just in New Orlean's but throughout the region in an area that is below Sea, Lake AND River level in NORMAL conditions is madness. To build defenses like those...
  5. New Orleans Leaves The Union

    No, just the parts that are actually lakes.
  6. New Orleans Leaves The Union

    Hmmm.... Last sizable earthquake in Boston? Prehistory. Earthquakes causing sizable damage in California that was repaired virtually exclusively by Federal funds - Zero Likelyhood that rebuilding the BELOW Sea level portions of New Orleans is, in the medium term, a huge waste of time -...
  7. No Bolt Action rifles

    Accuracy in an Infantry arm has always been a minor issue, especially with the devlopment of repeat fire weapons. A good bolt action weapon, in the hands of well trained soldier (think British regular or US Marine 1914) could shoot MOA (putting their rounds into a one-two inch group at 100...
  8. Billion-Man Army

    Unfortunately there still the need to produce enough food to provision sufficent breeding pairs & food to support the resultant offspring to adulthood that will permit the population growth necessary. You will need (based on historical data) a considerable excess of women (well beyong...
  9. Frank Miller's 300

    Of course it was. Two words: Jessica Alba:D
  10. Frank Miller's 300

    Overacted? Hell, its based on a COMIC BOOK. Overacting is required.:p Story - 7 Acting - 6.5 Lopped off limbs - priceless
  11. Could the Japanese have invaded and occupied Hawaii?

    Not a chance in hell. Insufficent logistical lift. Insufficient available troops. Insufficient experience in Amphibious assault (for excellent illustration of this issue see the Wake island debacle). The problems posed by invading Hawaii make Sealion look like a walkover for the Reich.
  12. New Orleans Leaves The Union

    Could we FORCE them to leave the Union? Any bunch of knuckleheads that WANTS to rebuild below Sea level in an area prone to Hurricanes might not be that great of a loss. The rest of the country is going to spend BILLIONS of dollars (including the 30% or so of corruption money that will somply...
  13. Billion-Man Army

    Feeding it, however, will prove to be completely impossible. Actually BREEDING it will be impossible. Food production methods do not exist pre-industrial to grow sufficient food to support five billion people 9it could be argued that it doesn't exist to a complete state now (witness the...
  14. Frank Miller's 300

    Stupid? Yea. Cool? DAMNED STRAIGHT!:cool: :cool: :cool: :D :D :D
  15. Frank Miller's 300

    You ask that like it would be a bad thing. :p
  16. Frank Miller's 300

    WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS!:eek: I Must have one!!!!!!!:D
  17. Frank Miller's 300

    How 'bout him being SEVEN FEET TALL?:rolleyes: Stiil, since the degree of accuracy that even the "history" of the event is somewhat questionable (2.6 MILLION Persians???), it is okay in my book. It is a fantasy, based on a comic book, that is based on a 1960's movie, that is based on a legend...
  18. What if the USSR lost more minor battles in WW2 ?

    The Allies didn't WANT a bigger part of the cake, at least FDR didn't. The U.S. wanted no part of Berlin, even though they only thought it would be about half the bloodbath it turned out to be IOTL. As far as the rest of Europe, FDR believed that things would turn out democratically chosen...
  19. Your region in Dies the Fire?

    I thought it was the other way around? The Big Isand has actual farms and ranches. Oahu, on the other hand, has vast majority of the State's population in Honolulu. IIRC Steve said that the Big Island was decent place, as such thing so, to be when the ISOT occurred.
  20. Your region in Dies the Fire?

    Not true! I live within mere miles of the All Powerful Ian, Arbitrator of all that is AH.
