  1. AHC: Strangest President

  2. With any PoD after the mongols, who can create a larger contiguous land empire?

    Canada somehow buys Alaska from Russia. Later, buys Greenland from Denmark. A "great" empire, without killing anyone.

  3. Gunship Ospreys

    The US Air Force Broncs could carry 3/4 paratroops in the back of the cabin or a three barrel 20MM cannon setup. US Marines want that system as a belly-gun. Again, for support of Marines on the ground.

  4. Gunship Ospreys

    So, no chance for Osprey pilots becoming "Aces". They have to be quiet and sneaky. I knew jets and ground arms were threats. I think Ospreys should be kept as haulers behind a thick wall of war fighters.

  5. Gunship Ospreys

    Thank you for your replies. I think the US Marines are trying hardest for the gunships. According to the articles I have read, weapon load-outs are for ground support. Machine guns, Hydra and Improved Hydra missiles. US Air Force may get some as escorts for their Special Ops birds. Knocking down...

  6. Gunship Ospreys

    Would pilots of supporting gunship ospreys be considered "Aces" for shooting down enemy drones and/or copters. These would be airborne kills. Or would they be told , they aren't jets, watch over the ground troops. Leaving personnel pride at hitting small and fast moving targets.

  7. Italy's Finland: Ethiopian Victory over Italy

    A Black American, John Robinson, led the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force. Known as the "Brown Condor", he had no armed aircraft to fight with. No fighters or bombers, just transports. Mr. Robinson used to be a Bell sales rep.. A little support from American Government and some Bell Fighters are on...

  8. AHC: Most Successful Carter Presidency Possible

    Have Carter win 1 trillion at the 1980 Derby. Pays off national debt. 9 months to campaign for re-election in a much better environment. This sounds ASBish, but in 2006. very long odds for the "4fer"(800,000+) could have given such a payout.

  9. Plausible Differences in USA Constitution

    What about the Equal Rights Amendment making into law? Women made equal under the law is a large POD.

  10. DBWI: Donald Trump stays in the family real estate business

    His "problem" of keeping it zipped, could have been hidden. On the job. a professional. Off, a sleaze. I understand he thought it was right and what women. Still, it added up to a ugly rep..

  11. Alternative Naval Aircraft

    P-38, navy Thank you:)

  12. Alternative Naval Aircraft

    P-38 Elsewhere on this site, another member showed a Navalized P-38. That is something worth a try.:rolleyes:

  13. AHC: Canada and US Equals

    Equals? Have Canada develop a complete Atomic, Biological and Chemical weapons locker. From WW2, this is possible. Have 1 or 2 of these actually used. Maintain stocks, no what bribes or threats are offered. Let US be Cowboys. As the song goes, let Canada be..."There's a man with a gun over...

  14. AHC: Countries other than USA and USSR become Superpowers

    Canada? After WW2, Canada maintains a full warchest of NBC weapon systems. No one can talk or bribe them out of them. How nervous is the US? When China comes calling for cheap resources and face a higher price, how do they react?:rolleyes:

  15. An Army of Snipers?

    Myself I was in a Cdn. Militia Regt.(Lincs & Wincs) for 4 years. With training, I was a decent shot. I never had to fire a shot to kill. Firing at colored blobs with my FNC1A1 is one thing. Add a scope, show me a man thru it? I honestly can not say what I would do?

  16. An Army of Snipers?

    Non-sniper infantry I did not have a clear question. I want average joes to have to face their kills. Not air strikes or arty, from miles away. Thru the scope, you see him. You pull the trigger and he dies. Can training be as effective as the rifle?

  17. An Army of Snipers?

    .338 Lapua Mag. The Military Channel recently showed a Bullpup sniper rifle. It is short, with a full length barrel. Actually, with 2 quick-change barrels(.338 and .30).An exchange took less than 70 sec.. A more balanced approach? That leaves the much...

  18. An Army of Snipers?

    WI: A Country outfitted its infantry with modern .50 Cal. scoped rifles. Training was keep your distance and kill at long range. How are the soldiers affected? They can not lie to themselves that they did not kill. Are their enemies less likely to attack due to their projected losses?

  19. AHC: Small warship US Navy

    The task is to have the US Navy maintain small warship squadrons. The Navy will use in wartime, then drops them. A recent example is the Seafighter, a brown-water design that remains unarmed despite Congress setting aside money to arm and test the ship. How can this hate-on be stopped?:confused:

  20. America's fighting women:A search for good POD's.

    ERA Hi, I stared a TL in which ERA passed in 1977. I had Jimmy Carter push hard with it. It was savaged and I quit. Better Luck, with yours, I will read it, when you put it on site.:)
