  1. A more powerful Curtain Call - The Australasian Federation and World War 2

    Too bad. the US found them to be an effective weapon in WW2 for things you mentioned like patrols and rescue but also for offensive actions.
  2. Logistical Question-Change the date of D-Day

    One cannot know all the factors that date alone cannot count for. for example: 1. The German commander canceled the German patrol boats going out that night so their was little pre warning. 2. Hitler waited quite a while before sending in reinforcements. We dont know if that would have...
  3. Logistical Question-Change the date of D-Day

    Also relations between American troops and English soldiers and civilians was beginning to have some real problems. "Over paid, over sexed, and over-here" was common. Give it another year with all those American troops sitting around looking for some way to blow off steam and it could have...
  4. WI: No "Disney Vault"

    How many times can they re-release "Pinnochio"? Already we have nearly every classic Disney movie on DVD and I see no reason to ever buy the Blu ray version even if it comes with a case with a growing nose. But then it's amazing how many times they have re-released "The Wizard of Oz".
  5. What if no Lewis and Clark expedition?

    I've been reading about the Lewis and Clark travels and they said that while on the reutrn route down the Missouri, they counted at least 150 persons (trappers, traders, etc...) making their way up the Missouri to exploit the lands natural resources like timber and furs. Also new towns had...
  6. What if no "Trail of Tears"?

    Between 1830 and 1938 Eastern Native Americans, most living in the mid and southern United States, were forced off their land and made to move to Oklahoma. Many died along the way from disease, hunger, exposure, and out and out murder. But lets look at 2 other scenarios: 1. The NA's were never...
  7. Could Australia have been another South Africa?

    I find it interesting that Australia, being that it was started as a penal colony, would then go on to restricting non-Europeans.
  8. P-51B Mustang with Rolls Royce Merlin mass produced almost a year earlier than in OTL

    I'm just glad someone asks a question about an allied upgrade instead of an axis one.
  9. Could Australia have been another South Africa?

    With all due respect I was just curious if aborigines were ever excluded from White Australian society the same way as black South Africans? Granted, I know only some of Australia's history. There was that movie years ago called "Rabbit Proof Fence" and it suggested that years ago that things...
  10. Could Australia have been another South Africa?

    How are Australia's and Tazmania's aboriginal peoples treated?
  11. WI: Neutral US in WW1

    I see a war in the 1930 at the latest between the US and UK as the US was trying to expand its imperial reach and would have tried to take some British colonies. The British would have been mad at the US for not aiding them in the war which would have inflamed tensions.
  12. Can Germany win the Battle of the Atlantic?

    I cant see them winning kucn unless they can somehow take Iceland or Greenland which would have given them mid Atlantic airbases.
  13. AHC:Second American Civil War

    Only if the south had won. Then I could see the north and south having continual wars later on although maybe not as many as Turtledove saw.
  14. WI: "Overlord" in North Germany/Denmark?

    I bet the people of Denmark are damn glad that an invasion did not occur there. Smashed towns and countryside like what we saw in France and the Netherlands. As it was in fact Denmark seemed to have escaped much of the destruction of WW2 since the Germans surrendered before the allies were...
  15. Titanic does not sink

    Lets say she hits the icebreg head on. For a few days shes jammed on the thing. Passengers are taken off then the ship is pulled off and towed back home. Pitctures are taken of the massive damage. Afterwards there are alot of "what-ifs" and safety rules are updated.
  16. AHC: American President commits suicide

    They said that Abraham Lincoln suffered from depression so much that many of his friends kept a close watch on him and kept guns away. Sometimes I wonder the way he would ride around Washington DC alone and unguarded on horseback meant he had a kind of deathwish.
  17. Decisive Darkness: What if Japan hadn't surrendered in 1945?

    From reading stories of allied POW's there were many Japanese who were sick of the leadership which lead them into the war and deeply regreted their countries decisions. I wonder if there could have been a mini civil war between them and the miltarists? It could be like some towns in Germany...
  18. World War III in May 1946

    Problem for the Soviets is they have to actually get the tanks to where they need to be. If its Spain thats a big distance and thru some narrow mountain passes. If its the UK they have to ferry them across the channel. My guess is the Soviets would need a light tank instead. One that requires...
  19. World War III in May 1946

    Please just keep writing. It's only a story.
