  1. question - size of an army (late 30s/early 40s)

    i am writing an AH - parallel world to earth (OTL) but set on a different planet - i am trying to work out a force ratio for my countries - as far as i can see 1 division per million population seems like a reasonable start point based on late 30s earth. Obviously with mobilisation may be...

  2. Not an USM thread - the '74 wargame

    For those that are interested a book about the famous 1974 sandhurst wargame has just been published as part of the history of war gaming series - amazon link Paddy Griffith’s Wargaming Operation Sealion (1940): The Game that Launched Academic Wargaming

  3. BEF (1940) infantry support afv

    realise been discussed many time So my AH small but ideally equipped BEF needs an infanty support AFV it has the infantry tank but is looking for something more like the Pz4 with the short 75. Something to take out things with HE If we can use some surplus Artillery all the better - the...

  4. What if - RAF unleashed the big boys in BofF ?

    i am currently reading the excellent third book from Greg Baughen "The RAF in the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain: A Reappraisal of Army and Air Policy 1938-1940" in which he is very critical about the non use of the RAF Bomber Command 'heavies' during the critical phases of the...

  5. The Blenheim soldiers on

    could the Blenheim 5 aka the Bisley become britains version of an attack bomber. The armoured version with solid duck bill nose with 4 x browning could be upgunned and you have a decent low level early war ground attack plane. Presumably could carry the 40mm that the hurricane did as well so...

  8. What if - BEF vs ww1 style attack rather than blitzkrieg

    following on from my earlier thread on British army sanity options how would the (slightly pimped) BEF cope with a more WW 1 style opponent? Something more like the French armies 'methodical battle ' for example Answering own post I suppose Op compass in North Africa shows how ? Let's also...

  9. 1939s British army sanity options

    inspired by the awesome work on the RAF /FAA thread what can we do to give our small but perfectly formed BEF better equipment. I'm building an ah timeline that has a small but excellently equipped bef deployed to Belgium in 1940 but - here is twist and needs lot of ASB/handwavium- they are...

  10. War over belgium TL (WOBTL)

    I have posted parts 1-5 of the WOBTL Alt-hist over the last 12 months (and being honest mostly about 12mths ago). As I do more research and try to flesh out a number of the details to make it more plausible I am finding a number of issues which are causing me to revisit my original position as I...
