  1. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    By 1940-41 most PZ-I's were only being used in training roles, or were being converted for other uses. In August 1940 the PZ-II was still the most numerous model in use. The PZ-III, and 35-T's were the backbone of the Panzer Force. That's one of the most tragic aspect of WWII, was the tine...
  2. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    Hah good points, all my posts assumed OKH already knew beforehand that they were going to invade the USSR immediately after the invading the west and how they'd do it!
  3. Crusader Kings III

    For those interested in trying CK3, the game is currently free to play until the end of the week-end.
  4. Alternate warships of nations

    Hmmmm maybe have Burke in charge of the DDs? Sure their torpedoes such in this time period but between them they do sure have a lot of tubes. And give the cruisers to Scott. Make sure to arrange for Bode to fall overboard and be consumed by a shark
  5. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    I was trying to say that there are possibly non-Western paths to modernity that look very little like the one that we are familiar with. When coming to this stage of World History, people's timelines tend to converge on a few philosophies and social structures (colonialism, Westphalianism etc.)...
  6. WI: Reagan wins the GOP nomination in 76, loses to Carter

    Let’s say Reagan loses in 1976 to Carter, but Carter’s Administration basically goes as OTL. Who would be the GOP frontrunner in 1980? IMO Reagan would be the frontrunner early on, but I think he’d be pretty weak, especially given his age. I think Ford could make a comeback, particularly if the...
  7. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    cheers to put a 2% loss rate in perspective RAF Bomber command in WW2 losses were about 3% However how universal was that loss rate? (if nothing else that comparison shows how scary the projected losses rates in a theoretical hot WW3 over Europe would have been!)
  8. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    @Riain Prior to reading your post, I did not know about the Scrap Metal Merchant Incident. That's some crazy-assed shit. Thanks!

    The problem is plug and play. If I could pull from off the shelf, somebody who would be a good brawler in a naval meeting engagement, most of the USN candidates are too junior at the moment. PACFLT has them in her destroyer captains, but that requires time to promote them up past the...

    No G harder then Kenny G

    This version of Kenny G sounds like the kind of guy who is nice to everyone because he knows exactly what he could do if he ever decided not to be nice.

    Threadmarks: J-Flexx

    J-Flexx So we were playing a poker game me, Kurupt, and Kenny G, Kenny....Kenny was shit at poker. The entire time I've played with him I have never once seen him win a game, the guys just has too many tells you know. So we were playing a friendly game 500 dollar limit to keep it friendly...
  12. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    Well, he's got the choice of using the resources in the Ukraine to feed the Ukrainians, or to feed his armies. Now what would he choose?

    TL-191: After the End

    At the very least, I recall that one of the non-negotiable decrees for American funding for the Russian Republic was to cease their superbomb program immediately.
  14. Bronze Age comics PODs

    I doubt that another writer would reinvent Magneto the way Claremont did. While it's easy to forget now, Magneto as a tragic, grey-shaded character was largely a product of his work on X-Men. When handled by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, he was all but unrecognizable from what he is now. He was...

    I said any Allied Naval Officer they don't have to be in theater. And yeah Ghormley probably should have been sent home to have his dental problems worked on.
  16. Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    Yeah hungary was as fuedal again you seem to be confusing castle defenses with feudalisim Which broadly meant that were derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor The lord's of hungary were doing that by joining king bela . As for the second" invasion " ( it was actually...

    Crutchley on the scene probably, or knowing what I know now, Norman Scott. Maybe Crace, if he had just shut up and learned to play nice with Americans. Or William A. Glassford. As 8th Fleet Actual, he did "alright" in the Mediterranean. Fletcher has to stay with the Bird Farms and Lee has to...
  18. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    Molotov was a clear successor, everybody in USSR knew it, everybody in the Soviet leadership looked up to him as a second-in-command.

    There's always air strikes or covert activities to disrupt programs and kidnap or liquidate scientists....
