  1. The Thirty Years WWII

    With the OTL players, there's no way to stretch the war until 1970. Even if you give the Nazi's the bomb the same time as the U.S. (and that's a stretch) the Nazi's lack the delivery systems to deliver a 1st generation weapon in any reasonable fashion. None of their bombers have the range or...
  2. D-Day POD

    As I noted earlier: Yes you were.
  3. D-Day POD

    Very true. I should have included "in the camps".
  4. D-Day POD

    @ luakel: Thanks for the support. One thing, The Nazi's didn't kill 11 Million jews, they killed 11 million Europeans. Six million were jews, the rest were Gypsies, Catholics, Slavs, mentally retarded, Union Organizers, Gays, Soviet POW's, and anyone else who didn't the Reich's standards...
  5. D-Day POD

    Soyuz - "One day after Germany surrenders in July, the US is embargoed by all nations. A joint Soviet-British-French research of the atomic bomb. Missiles placed in Canada and Mexico. Good-bye America!" One could certainly have thought so.
  6. Allies-Japan Cold War

    Problem with any scenario that allows the Japanese to get to the East Indies resources without involving the U.S. is the Philippines. Japan couldn't have the United States with bases right across it's lifeline, not if it wanted freedom to do whatever it wanted in the Far East. The British...
  7. what if toilet paper was never invented?

    Efforts to make left handed children righties are even more wide spread? Paper company stock goes into the toilet? (Sorry, couldn't resist):D
  8. An Alternate Soviet Collapse

    BTW: Welcome to the Board.
  9. D-Day POD

    "And what makes you so sure the weather will cooperate?" The fact that West to East is how the Northern weather systems proceed? As one travels south you pick up a different cycle, hence the hurricanes that plauge the tropic & sub tropical areas coming from Cape Verde into the Carribean, but...
  10. An Alternate Soviet Collapse

    9 August, 1993 Acting without the consent of NATO or the Congress, imperialist forces today invaded the sovereign nation of Cuba. Exiled rebels, believed to have been led and trained by imperialist Marine commandos and sympathetic members of the CIA, have entered the island nation to overthrow...
  11. D-Day POD

    Are opiates readily available where you live or are you this far out on ordinary air? Is there some unknown stockpile, with an available delivery system, of poison gas the Hitler CHOOSE not to use as the Sovs & the Western Allies ripped the Reich to pieces. Somehow, I doubt the Nazi's had...
  12. DB: If the WASHINGTON NAVAL TREATY had succeded!

    A more serious question that the basic WNT, which, as has already been mentioned, was bound to failure, is what the side effects of the treaty would have been. Would the Japanese have really limited their fleet so it couldn't match the Soviet fleet of our TL, much less the huge U.S. naval...
  13. A question for Vietnam Hawks

    The United States "lost" the war in Vietnam because it had absolutely no idea what victory would look like. How do you win (defined as holding the field at the end of the battle) every significant engaement, utterly destroy an enemy force after a surprise offensive (Tet, which effective...
  14. No Beer, No Wine, No Scotch - oh my

    Isn't fermentation really just stuff going rotten? I was under the impression that it's a natural process. Now, I will admit that the first guy to try that smelly vat of whatever had to be either desperate or under the influence of a "Triple Dog Dare". If no one had stepped up and tried the...
  15. what if the slaves came from asia, not africa

    I read it, I even posted it in my reply. Since it it utterly impossible it is difficult to comment with anything approaching reality. However... The Asian slaves would rise up, kill the white slavemasters, embrace the Native Americans as long lost brothers, do the same with native populations...
  16. name the nations on this map.

    John, Paul, George, Ringo, Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young. Mick, Keith, Brian, Charlie, Bill, Elvis
  17. what if the slaves came from asia, not africa

    Since it would take 3-4 times longer to transport people to the America's the slave trade collapses due to cost. Huge butterflies impact the settlement & devlopment of the America's. Since in OTL the countries you mentioned & other European states DID have huge swaths of Asia under their...
  18. Canada completely occupied by US - can it "red dawn" the yanks?

    The only period prior to the 1930's that there is the slightest chance for the U.S. to take Canada, as has been mentioned, is from roughly 1865 - 1870/71. Even then ALL foreign trade from the U.S to the rest of the world would be more or less cut off. The U.S. Navy was, at the end of the Civil...
  19. Potential US wars with Iran from 1979

    Best bet in the past was post Airbus tragedy. The ball was in Iran's court at that moment. They try to seek direct vengeance against the US Fleet, get wacked, Iran escalates, US escalates... Next best was after the Beruit Barracks bombing. If there had been any actual proof that Iranian money...
  20. i'm new here, here's my timeline, starting durring russo-japanese war

    If you throw up a timeline that is not even internally consistant you can expect comments about it. If you put up an excellent timeline you can expect comments about it. The comments may be somewhat kinder if what you post is: #1 well thought out and shows some degree of knowledge of the...
