  1. Post war effects of WW2 Britwank

    It,s all about the money (it's always about the money).It can be argued that in the 15 to 20 years after the end of WW2 Britain payed down the highest debt as a percentage of GDP by any country, ever.This resulted in British manufacturing becoming increasingly uncompetative in the 60's and 70's...

  2. Where do they land?

    I think the problem with all USM is that you look at German plans and you realise that they had no idea how to plan a seaborn invasion.Normandy at 5 divisions in the first wave is 20-25 miles wide whilst Sealion with about 2 divisions is more like 50 miles wide.Brighton to Hastings is to far by...

  3. Normandy defence ATL

    The hardest thing The POD would have to be that hardest of things: getting the Nazis to think logically.Get a map,look at it,put fighter ranges from the closest airfield on it,look how far the landing ships have to go and you end up with the French Channel coast and Belgium,thats it.Move half...

  4. Aluminum for armor?

    Aluminum Armor/Aluminium Armour Who cares? The M113 used al ar(however you want to spell it) is that compared to an equivalent weight of steel armour/armor it is thicker and more rigid therefore there is lot less wasted weight in not having stringers/rigidity reinforcements behind thin steel...

  5. Germany knows Soviets are strong in 1941

    With a POD of the fall of France: 1 A massive increase of the war time economy rather than a relaxation of it as ITTL.One of many crazy Nazi decisions:your going to war against the biggest country in the world in a years time and you cut back military production in favour of civilian for...

  6. The clean fight: America and the ALlies "White Knight " it in World War Two.

    To get rid of RAF city bombing there would have to be no London Blitz and definitely bombing of Coventry.The invention of the cavity magnetron 18 months earlier and work on some sort of oboe like guidance beams started before the start of the war.A pretty tall order.

  7. AHC - Soccer as the main U.S. sport

    American Cricket Hello and welcome to the final match of the Chrysler American Cricket League Twenty20 playoffs between the Los Angeles XI and the Philadelphia Bells.Who ever wins this match makes it through to the International Cricket League World Cup against the London Lions,Karachi Kings...

  8. The Whale has Wings

    Crete I was never thinking of heavy bombers on Crete at this stage of the war but more of two or three squadrons of Wellingtons for Gardening the Danube and possibly the Romanian Black Sea ports(convoys to Crimea),two or three squadrons of Beaufighters causing general mayhem in the Adriatic...

  9. WI: No Battle of Atlantic, no Battle of Britain

    Italy: it depends on whether this decision is pre or post DOW by Italy on Britain.Pre DOW Italy would have to follow Germany,but post? Italy would be in a world of hurt,Taranto but with three times the aircraft,Malta with ten squadrons of Beaufighters sinking anything Italian and ten squadrons...

  10. AHC: Keep Italy out of the Axis

    I c'ant really see Germany loosing in the low countries without significant changes.But if it was harder say France falling in late november 1940 this is probably enough for Italy not to declare war on Britain.Then in spring 1941 Italy invades Yugoslavia will Britain declare war on Italy...

  11. AHC: Keep Italy out of the Axis

    ESOPO In 1923 Hitler was in prison.Maybe 1933?

  12. Keeping Britian Out of WWI.

    Wilhelm II has a normal birth,grows up to be a happy well adjusted man with two normal arms who loves his mother.After his fathers death in 1891,(helped to stay alive with throat cancer by the British doctor Sir Morell Mackenzie) he becomes very British leaning.In 1896 an Anglo-German agreement...

  13. Post-war German armaments

    2'nd-Panzer and Panzergrenadier What the germans have to get is proper mass production no building 2 or 300 of this type of tank or self propelled gun-2 or 3000 of a particular chassis or don't bother.Looking at the map I would say 25P and 25PG divisions at least preferably with 2 or 3 types of...

  14. Post-war German armaments

    I haven't read the timeline but: 1'st- Logistics Germany had major problems with trucks.Just using what ever was available from different countries and ending up with about twenty different types with problems that entails.Get a good 3ton 4x4 truck and build at least 100 per day.Use say...

  15. The Whale has Wings

    Crete Communications PNM1 I d'ont think the infrastructure on Crete matters as much as communications if you have reasonably safe sea lanes going to an again reasonbly safe harbour,a short road going to an airfield you can start bombing easily. Reasonably safe-5% losses. Not having U-boats...

  16. Feasibility study: M113 in the 1930s.

    I think with late 1930's technology and design philosophy the best you could get would be something like an AMX VCI or M75.Aluminium armour? No.Diesel engine-Possibly but only in certain countrys.

  17. Feasibility study: M113 in the 1930s.

    The Lloyd Carrier could seat four.Ten on one is men hanging off here there and everywhere.To increase its size you would have to give a bigger engine,lengthen it,make it wider give it a new set of tracks,new suspension,new gearbox....... Easier to start from scratch.

  18. The Whale has Wings

    Mines With there being no seige of Malta at this time there would be two or three Grampus class minelaying submarines available.They could be mining the approaches to Saigon and Cam Ranh bay probably before the invasion transports have returned.Or maybe the increased proportion of the RN budget...
