  1. A10 Warthog-introduced in WW2.

    It sweeps the skies clear of every enemy aircraft, since it outperforms anything that flies, kills anything that moves, and results in a revolution in science. Why not use an F-15 instead? That way you can avoid the whole supersonic learning curve as well
  2. German Jets introduced in 1941.

    1st, I couldn't agree more with your depiction of General Harris. My greatest hope is that he shares a barracks in Hell with Stalin & Hitler. I will have to differ with you regarding the Stategic Bombing campaign & it's impact on the war. The greatest impact that the Bomber offensive...
  3. WI No Brezhnev?

    Khrushchev WAS replaced by a hard-liner. The fact that he was not a true communist isn't surprising, the USSR had not been a Communist State since Lenin died (if it was then). Stalin was MANY things, but he was NOT A COMMUNIST. Neither were his henchmen. His successors continued his repressive...
  4. Apollo Program Continues

    Apollo was a dead end. It had been designed to reach a single goal, in which it succeeded beyond expectations, but it HAD no follow up program. There was NOTHING waiting in the wings to build on the success. In order to have the glowing future of bases on the Moon, Mars & large permanent orbital...
  5. Franz Ferdinand escapes assassination!

    The Archduke was radically different than his Uncle. While he was, by most accounts, not the brightest star in the heavens, he was very much in favor of increasing freedoms (within limits) throughout Austria/Hungary's empire. He was, ironically, probably the best friend the Serbians had in...
  6. German Jets introduced in 1941.

    Much of this thread proceeds from a series of faulty assumptions. Specifically: 1. Germany had the sole workable jet engine in the world. False. 2. Germany had the available resources to build large numbers of Jet engines. False 3. Jet aircraft would be decisive if employed on the...
  7. German Jets introduced in 1941.

    That's bit harsh. It is a fact that poison gas is not as effective a weapon as Nuclear detonations. Poison Gas can be quite effective if a large numbers of factors are present, but those factors are rarely available at the same time. Gas also has to be employed is massive quantities to be...
  8. Anglo-German Alliance

    The British (and for that matter, the Americans) now do not HAVE to take a defended port. They should be able to make use of Dutch ports since the French failed to take the entire country. This would place the French into an almost impossible position. Given the practice of the era, I would...
  9. Anglo-German Alliance

    Yes. I believe that the Russians wouild fold in 1906. I mentioned the BEF as Peace Keepers, mainly to prop up some kind of central government & keep the crazies on all sides from grabbing a major city or from tearing some apart with infighting. I would imagine that American Troops would be...
  10. evolutionary TL: for the birds

    Lack of dogs, to do everything from aiding in the hunt to providing sled pulling to guarding flocks to straight up companionship will have a HUGELY damaging impact on Humans. Even the lack of cats will have a serious negitive effect as farming begins, as they are critical to limiting the losses...
  11. Anglo-German Alliance

    Russia can be defeated in the field in under a year, especially with no blockade impacting German access to critical imports. German & AH forces have significant advantages in both equipment & more importantly, leadership. German commanders are consumate professionals, if they are given overall...
  12. evolutionary TL: for the birds

    I vote for a globe spanning society! Man & Bird, living together! (Although this will put one hell of a crimp on Thanksgiving Dinner.:eek: )
  13. evolutionary TL: for the birds

    I love it! This more ASB than anything I've ever read, but it's terrific. More PLEASE!
  14. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    FUZZY dice. FUZZY!!!!:D Gotta have those in a pimped ride!:p
  15. The Hundred years WWII

    As I just posted (in some detail) in the WW I lasts until 2001 thread, you already HAVE a 100 year war. It began in 1914 & continues to this day. If you are interested in the long version please take a look in the aforementioned thread. At the very least you have a war that literally began...
  16. WW1 lasts until 2001

    You can make a decent arguement that WW I lasted until 1991, perhaps even to this day. The conflict we call World War One "ended" with an Armistice i.e. a truce, not a Peace Treaty so that war never ended. The period from 1918-1921 in Russian saw forces from both hemispheres (and 3...
  17. Neanderthals survive to present day

    The Neanderthals were different, not inferior. Some current thinking is that their lack of art & some differences in their tool kit indicates they were not suited for survival. I have found these arguments to be open to question as they seem to show open preference of the "artistic" type without...
  18. Anglo-German Alliance

    An alliance between Russia & the Ottoman Empire is quite unlikely since they have very different goals (Religion, Balkan protectorates & the like). If one did occur it WOULD give the British a reason to rachet up against the Russians. The British government had worried about the Russians...
  19. German Jets introduced in 1941.

    Well, welcome! You certainly came up with an interesting initial post. One thing that seems to get lost in all the discussions about German jets is the fact that the Allies understood the Jet Engine as well as the Germans. Had the need arisen, the Americans and, especially, the British, could...
