    Oh, yeah, this is absolutely true. They will definitely be less advanced and not nearly as capable of providing real-time updates like that, but we're still likely to see physical maps becoming a thing of the past just as we did OTL. Just probably more slowly, and GPS systems will be more of a...

    Britt Allcroft and Lucasfilm Present: Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (A BSiC supplement)

    Unfortunately, I've hit writer's block. Not to mention other projects I was working on.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Umm, I’m a redhead, pretty sure I don’t have one to begin with.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Shrug. YMMV and should. I have researched what Homma did. He deserved the rope for what his troops did in his name. Yamashita's troops did things in Singapore that do not pass the smell test either. Murder, rape, pillage. His troops were his responsibility. General Order 100 would demand the...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Seems to be a general discussion around 'the allies were also evil' Now I have another simply stock answer to this - and this does not include what Uncle Joe and his bankrupt ideology did in the East (which to us in the west involves falling down Rabbit holes and going through looking glasses...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Agree with? Or understand? Because let me tell you, you can understand why someone will do something and separate it from the moral judgement. Morality: it's abhorrent, as all rape is. 1st Reality: this sort of thing happens, though on a much lower scale, in every bloody war. 2nd Reality: the...
  7. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    As tomo pauk has mentioned Tony Williams has written several articles on just this subject. https://quarryhs.co.uk/CannonMGs.htm https://quarryhs.co.uk/WW2guneffect.htm https://quarryhs.co.uk/ideal.htm The expert opinion is that it is entirely possible. Post-War almost everyone moved onto...

    Alternate warships of nations

    I think I was fair to Crutchley. I was accurate about the Americans at Savo. Did you read the ATL treatment?
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I mean, basically you say that you agree with the massive rapes of hundreds of thousands of German women and girls, as well as the massacres perpetrated by the Red Army during their passage through Germany?
  10. Vichy France, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Thailand gets the same reputation as Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan

    If you ask most people in the West to name just one atrocity that Italy committed during WW2 they wouldn’t be able to name a single one while the exact opposite applies to Germany and Japan.

    Hey @Andrew Boyd: Duke of Dank , have you even considered continuing this timeline? I'm enjoying it so far.
  13. Impact on Japan if the Emperor and Imperial monarchy was dismantled following WW2

    One of the requests of Japan to the United States upon their agreement for total surrender following WW2 was that the emperor be allowed to remain, even if only as a figure head. The US didn't have to agree to that however and there would have been nothing Japan could do to stop that. So what...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Mine was and IS a military family. Brief family history. I had a grandfather killed in Normandy. He was an American. I had a great uncle captured at Stalingrad. He was German. He did not come back. I had another great uncle captured by the British. German. To the day he died he hated the...
  15. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    If Charles IX has a son (I don't see at all why he would name him Philip but okay), it implies his brother Henri would never become king of France and, therefore, would most likely stay in Poland. What are the consequences? Would Henryk Walezy (as he was named in Poland) found a dynasty in...
  16. Vichy France, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Thailand gets the same reputation as Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan

    I think it depends whom you ask, opinions in Ethiopia or former Yugoslavia for example tend not to have fond memories of Italian occupation to put it mildly. However, I agree there is some difference. Italy left the Axis almost two full years before the end of the war, though even that was...

    And here's the map.
  18. Map Thread XX

    ...Admittedly, the "good guys" aren't that good - Poland-Hungary-Roumania's main opponents in Europe are the kingdom of France (a Mussolini-type *Fascist state with a figurehead monarchy), the Danish Empire (a corrupt police state) and Britain (a full blown Surveillance State run by an unopposed...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Not really. The question relates to the actions taken three generations ago, and even the more recent changes in the Laws of War go back to the Carter Administration. The completely extraneous discussion involving the Crusades (of all things) and Vietnam (which strike me as being about an...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I have relatives who live on the Russo-Finnish who've had accidents where they stumble onto old WW2 ordinance and it exploded under their feet. One of my uncles lost the vision in his left eye from one.
