  1. AHC: Make the UK Lose the Falklands Conflict

    Argentina threatening the UK with nuclear weapons probably ends with Argentina being dog-piled by a chunk of the world, given they ve clearly lost the plot to threaten to outright murder 2000 Falklanders via nuclear fire. Argentina detonating a nuclear weapon on the Falklands? It ends up with...

  2. Captured French Fleet in Sealion

    Even if the Germans can somehow overcome the RN, there's still the issue of the well equipped and significant sized British Army which was and always had been in mainland Britain (contrary to popular myth) - it was certainly sufficient to take anything Germany could put ashore on.

  3. Why did Britain come off worse from WW2 than the Soviets?

    The UK came out of the war far better than the USSR. Today, the UK continues to exist and her populace is one of the wealthiest in the world. The USSR, on the other hand, no longer exists. Her successor states are all poverty stricken with many industrial and financial issues. The USSR was a...

  4. WI: Argentine Vulcan Bombers during the Falklands Conflict

    Fantastic. So now Argentina has knocked out 2 of Britain's Carriers and used up all of their exocets - and in the process, severely pissed off Britain and probably caused Britain to start striking at the Argentinian Mainland. Now... whats your plan to deal with the other 3 Aircraft Carriers...

  5. Could the Falklands war have spread to Mainland Argentina?

    You'd probably need the Argentinians to do something stupid... such as a massacre of a bunch of Falkland civilians at Port Stanley as the British Army closed in on Stanley. Something like that would result in the Falklands falling into British hands like historically happened.... except the...

  6. AHC: Keep India British

    The only possible way would be with a Imperial Federation - at which point, its less "Keep India British" and more "Keep the empire united under one banner, with Britain merely one of the more important states/members" - basically a move to adopt some sort of Federation where states have...

  7. W/I: China Invades Taiwan During Korean War

    Its worth noting the Royal Navy/Commonwealth Navy at this point in time was present in very substantial strength - with the RN still easily the second most powerful force afloat (put into shadow only by the even more insane size of the US Navy)

  8. Argentina wins falklands war

    Right, ok. So on the one hand we have your own personal opinion on what *might* happen, reflecting your own thoughts on nuclear weapons. On the other hand we have the ruling of a internationally recognised court which is responsible for interpreting and the mediation of pretty much ALL...

  9. Argentina wins falklands war

    The UN has ruled nuclear weapons are legal and have to be used in accordance with international law, save where the survival of the nation state is at risk. What that means, is any use of nuclear weapons has to be: 1.) Proportionate 2.) Discriminatory (Between civilian & military targets)...

  10. Argentina wins falklands war

    As Saphroneth has pointed out, there's essentially only a few outcomes. Bare in mind, though, the UK has a history of continuing to fight when faced with a serious defeat - a failure to retake the Falklands in itself while a defeat, wouldn't be the end - accepting Argentina's victory, though...

  11. Could WW2 have been worse for Britain?

    Sounds good to me.

  12. Could WW2 have been worse for Britain?

    Education is a wonderful thing. Perhaps go back to it for a while? For a start: Britain's pilot training program and aircraft production OUTPRODUCED Germany - throw into the equation every single German Pilot shot down over Britain = LOST to the Luftwaffe, while a significantly high % of RAF...

  13. Could Nazi Germany Won the war?

    HOW? Seriously? HOW? Incase it missed your attention somehow, Britain outproduced the entire axis side in naval vessels/shipping tonnage. It also outproduced Germany in aircraft. By 1942, the Battle of the Atlantic is sliding in the RN's favour and the RAF's own strength is only getting...

  14. Lack AIM-9L and much more Exocet in Falklands war

    Now see, there's your problem right there. Your assuming that the UK loosing the war was even remotely a possibility. The Taskforce being beaten back does NOT necessarily equate to a loss of the war - it just means the UK probably has to pull back over Winter and try again in 1983 - this time...

  15. Poll: What was the Greatest Empire in history?

    The US Story is much better? Your taking the piss, right? You do KNOW your own history, yes? I seem to recall the world supepower of the time - France - having some sort of involvement in the US-War of independence. I also seem to recall what happened in the second war of independence when the...

  16. Would Sealion be possible after Russia was subdued?

    You mean like Germany "Crushed" Britain in 1940, when it was the entire Axis-warmachine (except Japan) vs. just Britain & its empire, with said-Axis war machine being fueled by free-resources from the Soviet Union? :rolleyes: ############### Get this through your head: GERMANY was OUTPRODUCED...

  17. Would Sealion be possible after Russia was subdued?

    Actually Britain can. She outproduced the entire Axis powers, combined, when it came to naval assets (Japan included) - be it civilian merchant shipping all the way through destroyers, cruisers up to carriers. The only naval area she she was outproduced in was Uboats - which says a lot about...

  18. WI: South Korea declared war on Great Britain

    This is 1957 Britain - the same nation who's navy only a year earlier smashed the ever loving crap into Egypt in the space of 24hours (Depressing fact: Britain was less than 24hours away from securing complete military-control of Suez & the surrounding area at the time of the ceasefire). The...

  19. AHC: Germany invades Greece in 1940

    If there is one thing you should take away from the disaster of HMS Hood... its that Britain, rather than being broken by naval-disaster.... tends to instead get very very very pissed off and dig-in-deep for the long haul - becoming more determined to succeed. The disaster of France, the...

  20. WI: Reagan sticks to Monroe doctrine during Falklands War

    You ve got 2000 British subjects forcibly occupied by a third world dictatorship - do you really want to place your money on the RN deciding to call the USA's bluff? At which point, you ve got the RN sailing for the Falkland Islands at full-battle stations and a US Carrier Battlegroup (or 2)...
