  1. The Whale has Wings

    Astrodragon OK, thanks for clarifying. I was think you were referring to the push west that would then follow to occupy the centre and west of the island. Steve

  2. The Whale has Wings

    Astrodragon Interesting update. Both sides preparing for the next stage giving a breather. The low level German attacks will hopefully give some useful experience to the US forces. On the point: Do you mean a drive west or a drive from the east? Because if he's making an...

  3. The Whale has Wings

    usertron2020 While steaming on after an attack has dangers I would suspect that stopping when you're just been attacked by a sub is probably at least as dangerous? Especially if you're poorly escorted and there might well be other subs about. Steve

  4. That Wacky Redhead

    And/or possibly some move to change the law to block such a loop-hole? Steve

  5. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Wet Coast I don't know about the US but I remember reading a few years back about exports to the UK. Think it was mainly specialised materials, ball bearing and Bohor's guns. Some were flown out but most came on very high speed ships that generally managed to break the German blockade IIRC...

  6. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Guys Fully agree on most of this. Not sure about Stalin opposing Operation Vegetarian as he might not realise how little fight there is actually left in Germany and how much damage it could actually do. To ally with, or give aid to Japan would be seen by many Americans as basically an act...

  7. Is Rome Worth One Man's Life? 2.0-A Roman TL

    slydessertfox Well it sounds pretty fatal for the Parthians. Just about everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. We could end up with a total melt-down of the state. However this doesn't necessarily mean everything is going right for Antonius. He still have to establish some form...

  8. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Artatochor Modern compared to the Soviets but fairly backward compared to the western powers by now. Any such designs would have to be developed for the Soviets and then built, which would take a long time. Also its not a question of the Americans being able to force the Soviets to do...

  9. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    NHBL I don't think so. Especially with American feeling so enraged at the moment anything that gives weapons, or even any material that helps they continue the war is likely to go down extremely badly in the US. Not to the point of a dow unless Stalin does something very stupid but you...

  10. The Whale has Wings

    Guys The other problem is that it would need a lot more high tech graphics, which likely means the plot suffers, simply because you can't get the planes any more. I remember reading that one thing that help the 69 version was that they were able to work with the Spanish airforce, which was...

  11. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Geon Well that sounds like as well as using nerve gas during the Battle of the Bulge the Germans are going to try some long ranged attack against the US. Most likely they will get lucky and none will actually reach the US, although that wouldn't rule out the Nazis doing something really...

  12. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    truth is life It might weaken the restraints on use of gas or strengthen them, given the impact of their use, especially [probably by the sound of the TL] on a large scale against Japan and Germany. There was a large scale revulsion against the use of gas in WWI. Hence the 1925 Geneva...

  13. Is Rome Worth One Man's Life? 2.0-A Roman TL

    Agreed. Looking forward to it.:D Steve

  14. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Otis I'll make no comment on [1] because it would be a matter of definition. However [2] definitely doesn't mean [1] is accurate. That was probably the key decision of the Nuremberg Trials. However I think the thread is getting rather side-tracked here. Steve

  15. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    neopeius I agree. Given the circumstances I suspect that Japan, also Germany if they do do something extremely stupid, won't last long enough for nuclear weapons to be used. Whether that will reduce or increase the total number of deaths I'm unsure on. Steve

  16. WI: Woodrow Wilson doesn't run in 1912

    JAG88 There would still be a blockade, albeit possibly not as vigerous. I can't see Byran selling war with the entente powers so that US industry can sell military goods to Germany. Especially given the attitude to Germany after its attack on Belgium. The war could have gone either way...

  17. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Geon For all the panic and problems caused the initial retaliation from the US will I suspect cause far more deaths and destruction that the Japanese gas attacks. The only thing I can think of which might affect things is how does fire and radiant heat affect mustard gas? Then when the US...

  18. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    trekchu Very true but I'm thinking more of the people who are carrying out the orders. Steve

  19. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    zoomar I think its less a question of morality than a growing realisation that "this is suicide". Especially given how they know fully well that the western allies can and will retaliate with much greater devastation. Also, how are the Germans going to hand their advance if they do spray...

  20. That Wacky Redhead

    Brainbin Well I ploughed through and a fascinating read. Somewhat depression as I knew there was a lot of corruption in many big businesses but something that blatant I think even the banks would be nervous about doing.:eek::eek::eek: Anyway, I wonder if Paramount will end up declaring...
