  1. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    Sure. Why not? In 1942 the Nazis are able to mass in Canada sweeping down to crush the USA, while the Kriegsmarine, engorged by swallowing the French and British Navies sweeps the USN from the seas. The Germans of the mid west undo the anglicisation of their names from 20 years before, rising up...
  2. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    Ideally yes but carrying a fleet fighter means bigger, more numerous carriers [as the 4 Kiev in separate fleet are so far apart during deployment] and associated expenses something the soviets can ill afford even in the best of times Maybe equipping the mig23 with IFR would be a better option...
  3. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    I didn't say it WAS a unrivaled ship killer, I said everyone BELIEVED it to be. When a military planner assesses the threat posed by a given hostile power they lack 70 years of hindsight when making their evaluations. The IJN developed the G3M and G4M as both torpedo AND high level anti-ship...

    Her Imperial Majesty, the White Tsarina, Anastasia I- Russian Empire Timeline

    You mean the Soviet Rump-state lead by Stalin? I’ll have to account for that. Thank you for the suggestion
  5. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    A lot of people drank the strategic bombing Kool Aide. I am not sure the belief was universal and did not take long for rationale observers to conclude the strategic bomber was over rated. Actually when you look at what the strategic bomber advocates were saying, 25% of the bombs would fall...
  6. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    what about a version of R98M1 with better seeker for dealing with agile targets [like those on R4 missiles?] WHy does it need to have BVR missiles ? Even the early model Falcons did not have them ANd how many do you think should be produced and will VVS operate it too ?

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    1.Marching up Hill 821, without setting off too many boobytraps and mines 2. shoot at some possible VC, claim some blood trails spotted 3. then march back to the LZ and Leave. Repeat in three weeks time, over and over. That's patrolling idiocy. But Beancounter Bob figured from statistics, a...
  8. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    A genius doesn't assume you can turn out more periscopes, diesels, hydrophones, etc. That is the limiting factor. A genius doesn't assume you can create tons of lead for batteries and copper for electric motors. That is finite resource. Intell was based on the bottle necks of u-boat...

    Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    He may had died, but he died in a blaze of glory, which is the perfect farewell for one of history's greatest badasses.

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    To put it another way: Boldly Going is using the Shuttle we got, and Right Side Up is using the Shuttle we deserved.
  11. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    Yes all the very best of luck to you regards "An effete Brit"
  12. DBWI: J.D. Salinger Stops Writing after “Catcher in the Rye.”

    Guy was never the same after Catcher. It’s like he turned into the phony Holden hated. Especially The Boat Rocker. Should have just quit on a high note and gone up into the woods instead of writing for50 more years.
  13. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Who's going to buy the Walibi Group ITTL? That's the company @Goldwind2 was referring to. He misspelled it, so I couldn't find it because autocorrect wanted "Viable Group" and then I remembered it might have been Walibi. Is it going to be Virgin Group (like the original American Magic), Six...
  14. WI: Larry Weiss offers "Rhinestone Cowboy" to Johnny Cash?

    I feel like it’d either be a more somber song, or something more humorous. It wouldn’t be a radio hit for Cash though. I’m quite a big fan of him and I don’t think it’d fit with his image. Might be something he’d record in his down years before Rick Rubin.
  15. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    I think we can safely say that whatever else comes their way, Britain won't be totally collapsing just yet. Russian- and indeed Japanese- activities in China will be heavily influenced by the forthcoming Russian Civil War. Why thank you! Aah, this matter is something I've given thought to...
  16. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    Good luck on your fourth crack.

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    So in 2000 we have a Republican president and a Democrat VP. Makes me wonder political union handles 9/11 if it still happens

    Sports What Ifs.

    I don't think Bledsoe is ever as clutch as Brady to pull off that comeback drive to set up for the last second field goal. So the Rams beat the Patriots.
