  1. When did the French develop so much cheese?

    I find the article (there was no link) and ... While it give a source for it's British number of cheese, the French number of cheese comes from reference.com, which (ironicaly) doesn't give any reference :D. There are also quite a few articles from the british press around the same date using...

  2. When did the French develop so much cheese?

    I actually checked at my neighborhood supermarket (10000 square/1000m² feet approximately i would say so that people have a way to compare with size in mind) and i think there was more than a hundred cheeses (i forgot to take a picture, but it is basically a 6 meters long stand with three levels...

  3. When did the French develop so much cheese?

    I would like to have your source about the 600 cheeses for France. I can find your 700 for the UK (British Cheese board), but the source I have for France is actually between 1200 (Centre national interprofessionnel de l'économie laitière) and 1800 (magazine Profession fromager) So a dozen...

  4. The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

    Religious organisation have a 99% track record of opposing communism violently and historicaly sided with the powerful to put down attempt to give power back to the people. Religions have opposed personnal freedom for centuries (and still is, see the opposition of the majority of christian...

  5. The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

    How is that dystopic ? The Orthodox church is historically one of the most oppresive organisation church in christianity, especially for it's size. It dying would be a positive good. Bullshit. Religion is but a small part of these cultures. Korean folk religion is basically dead (16%...

  6. Could France fighting on in WWII (from Algeria) lead to no US entry, and more dominant USSR postwar?

    shit, typo, sorry, i meant wouldn't.

  7. Could France fighting on in WWII (from Algeria) lead to no US entry, and more dominant USSR postwar?

    Why wouldn't the Japanese declare war against the allies like in OTL at the end of 1941 ? The powerful french eastern fleet ? (one light cruiser, 4 avisos) The powerfull armies there ? (50k men). Not having Indochina would modifiy their operational plans, but strategically it wouldn't change...

  8. Could France fighting on in WWII (from Algeria) lead to no US entry, and more dominant USSR postwar?

    Hitler didn't give a hoot about the mediterannean theater OTL, he won't give one in a FFO like TL, especialy because it won't have any foothold in Africa by the time he finish the campaign of France (in mid August at the earliest as CALCULATED by logisticians and people with a military...

  9. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    OTL Red Army of 1945 vs Kwantung Army of 1945 is not the same fight as TTL 1942 Red Army vs 1942 Kwantung Army. There would be less Soviet troops and more japanese ones, and the Soviet would keep most of their army in Europe, especially after you made Germany randomly backstab someone. That is...

  10. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    No, because according to the brick wall we are trying to argue with, the brits don't know how to aim, so the barge will mostly fall back easily to France and the brits will stop firing at them when they (slowly) start turning back...

  11. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    There is a problem with some parallels between OTL and FFO, but i think it is used a lot in AH anyway (for example Bir Hakeim is replaced by a battle in the Balkans with more or less the same units on both side and the battle having the same result with the same bridge in Paris being renamed...

  12. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    The Italians had less troops in Africa than the French had in North Africa alone. Been there done that. Hitler proposed this, Franco asked for the moon and Hitler left.

  13. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    So you are not just ignorant of logistics for the axis sake, you are just ignorant about logistics. How do the soviet sustain a continuous offensive with no railhead ? How do the soviet defeat the Japanese navy to destroy the japanese empire ? So the 4th navy in the world was just useless, but...

  14. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    And if the evacuation goes well the Belgian would still have their gold reserve (3rd or fourth in the World iirc) and 200000 men available. Men to men they would probably be some of the best equipped army in ww2. And iirc the polish gold reserve was also given to the nazis by Vichy. Here it...

  15. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    23.5% of the Iraq Oil Company through the Compagnie Française des Petroles

  16. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    Risky ? Against forces inferior in number, equipement and fighting spirit ? Bullshit. The Soviet Army suffered a worse defeat in 1941 and became one of the finest fighting machine of the 20th ccnetury in 3 years. Evacuated in North Africa, the governement can't let an enemy just sit right next...

  17. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    Brainfart, i meant the eastern lybian front, which was the western front for the British. The Armée d'Afrique was basically the largest part of the colonial army and was composed of various units with a good esprit de corps (most units had for example specific names given their recruitment and...

  18. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    I would also had that the French can easily reinforce the eastern Lybian front with their divisions in Syria as an expeditionary force to support Romania was stationed there consisting of 2 tank batallions equipped with R35, 3 infantry divisions and the Polish Mountain Brigade. Those were in...

  19. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    The French Armée d'Afrique had a more offensive doctrine than the metropolitan army. Also, even if you take for reference the 12 miles a day that the italian did when they walked east into egypt, Tripoli is still at 10 days on foot from Ben Gardane. Add to that a week of combat (this is...

  20. WI: France really fights on from 1940?

    Why ? Once the italian defens is pierced, it's basically walking unitl you reach Tripoli due to the geography of this part of Lybia, ie a flat plain between the sea and the Nafusa Mountains. Once the Italians start to fall back, there is no good defensive position to fall back on and the flat...
