  1. France and Britain defeat Germany in 1940

    There's a reason people bash all over France in regards to WWII: their army, while great on paper, was poorly trained, badly equipped, and ill-led. When they actually DID (finally) mobilize IOTL, the resulting logistical clusterfuck made it all but impossible to even get troops where they were...

  2. WI: "Russia first" in German strategy

    Assuming no Allied backstab, Operation Barbarossa has a high chance of success. Two or three years later, the U.S.S.R. is mostly under Nazi control, and Hitler now commands the massive resources and production capability of the Soviet Union. Imagine what Rommel could do with 10,000 Panzer IV's.

  3. WI: Hitler goes Communist?

    Agree. Hitler was extremely nationalistic, and would have held the communists in contempt as being far too Soviet-influenced instead of purely Marxist. Also, Hitler was fairly conservative to start out with, and his experiences in WWI, only made him more Right-wing.

  4. Challenge: Rommel in the US Military

    Probably keep the Marines from bogging down on the beaches so badly.

  5. Japanese Fire Balloons actually hit something important

    I wasn't referring to the V-2, but the V-1, in response to the following: V-1s were fairly effective, especially from a morale standpoint. They were designed to help break England's will to fight.

  6. Challenge: Rommel in the US Military

    Dunno, maybe he gets put in the PI in place of a certain general with a soft spot for Dugouts...:D Interesting thought. Apart from a bit of OSS cloak-and-dagger, black ops weren't all that common, but maybe they'd make an exception for the Desert Fox...

  7. Japanese Fire Balloons actually hit something important

    But that's because they WERE very effective, and actually had a chance to change the course of the war. By the time the Japanese firebombs were being used, the war was basically won. The only reason I can see for covering up the deaths would be to then release that the bombs had done nothing...

  8. Japanese Fire Balloons actually hit something important

    I don't disagree, but why keep it secret, instead of using it to jack up popularity for the war effort?

  9. Japanese Fire Balloons actually hit something important

    Probably not much, apart from a slight drop in productivity if it hits a city. And the fact that it'd only serve to piss the US of A off MORE then we were IOTL. The nukes still fall, but Japan gets harsh(er) terms at Hirohito's eventual surrender.

  10. Challenge: Rommel in the US Military

    Patton much? Also, WI he becomes completely disillusioned early in the war and defects?

  11. Pacific War Redux

    Oh my Emperor, it's back. My life is complete :D Also: Why?

  12. Soviets Win Soviet-Finnish War

    1) You mean even less than the (relatively) drawn out, thoroughly humiliating, pyrrhic "victory" they achieved IOTL did? The one that got them thrown out of the League of Nations? 2)...OR the USSR just continues on and rolls right over them too, thus cutting off the Nazis' iron supply... 3)...

  13. WWII AHC: IJN Battleships clash with US Battleships

    There's no way they'd risk it. To do that would critically weaken their defenses across the board. Of course, if they did do that, it'd force the US Navy to bring in most of its heavy units as well...wait, wasn't that what the Japanese wanted throughout most of the first half of the war...

  14. Hitler Gives More Control To Generals?

    Well, instead of the Battle of the Bulge turning into a complete cluster-frack, the Waffen SS might have actually succeeded in their mission, which would have dragged the war out another several months at least while the Allies recovered. Earlier on, Germany would NOT have invaded the USSR in...

  15. December 28th, 1941: The Day of Infamy

    *Hits Subscribe* Both CVs? Ouch. Somebody's gonna be hurting for mobile air power for the forseeable future. :D

  16. The Final Answer to the "MacArthur Question"

    I've mentioned Mark Clark before, and will again now. He was in charge of 5th Army in Italy IOTL, and had his own goddam press corps.

  17. BOOM!

    With Parliament's destruction, I see an immediate* attempt by the monarchy to wrest power back from the nobles and regain absolute control. *As soon as the dust settles and everyone's ears stop ringing. :D Either way, England is gonna find itself in a World of Shit (in R. Lee Ermy's words)...

  18. WI Israel deploys nuclear weapons in the Yom Kippur War

    umm...I think he was kidding...*closes eyes and waits for gunshot* They couldn't cite a (reliable) source, because they did launch Scuds at the last second. If they had been nuclear-armed, Israel would be one big crater.

  19. Disaster at Pearl

    umm...She wouldn't have had cause to hurry, though. The only reason Saratoga made such incredible time IOTL was because she was hurrying back to Pearl at top speed in the aftermath of the Dec. 7 attack. Without that added impetus, Saratoga would likely take at least three or four more days...

  20. WI Israel deploys nuclear weapons in the Yom Kippur War

    CARE BEAR STARE!!!!!!! :D
