  1. £6.99 for Victory.

    Again another blast from the past, from August 2015 which can be seen here. This is just a bit of a holiday daydream, become a short timeline. It's a bit of wank, but lots of Nazis die, and there's Maoris. Enjoy. The fact was that I never saw it coming. Lying happily on a sun lounger, listening...
  2. The New Contemptibles: 1940 BEF to 1914.

    The New Contemptibles: 1940 BEF to 1914. This was one of my early stories (February 2014!!!) which can be read here. Chapter 1. Sergeant Banks passed on the word to stand down, and the platoon wearily made their way back to the billet, still trying to understand what had happened last night...
  3. Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion. Books 1, 2 and 3.
    Threadmarks: 20 May 1982 - 11 January 1940.

    I've decided to try to finally put this work to bed, and have decided to have it here in this forum. Obviously, there is no discussion on here, but here is the link to the discussion forum where, if you do want to chat about it, please do...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.
    Threadmarks: 13 June 1941. Operation Battleaxe. Day 6.

    Continuation of the thread Sir John Valentine Carden survives. 13 June 1941. Operation Battleaxe. Day 6. During the policing of the battlefield the previous day the men of 7th Tank Brigade were keen on discovering what it was that had killed so many of their tanks from long range. The...
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 10 December 1935. 19:00hrs. Croydon Airport, England.

    10 December 1935. 19:00hrs. Croydon Airport, England. Sir John Carden stepped off the Savoia-Marchetti S.73 and felt like kissing the ground. The last few minutes of the flight had been as scary as anything he had ever experienced. The pilot had apologised to the people on board for the...
  6. P47 vs P51

    There was a film on TCM this evening called Fighter Squadron. Piece of propaganda but interesting idea. The American P47s, mostly used actual gun camera footage in their fight scenes. However a number of times the Luftwaffe were depicted flying P51s. So, simple question. In a straight up...
  7. Bf109E vs A6M2?

    Just out of curiosity, I've seen lots of information about the Zeke or Zero going up against the Allied aircraft. But would anyone have an idea of how they would do against the Messerschmitt Bf109E? For example if in an alternative universe the Flying Tigers were a German unit rather than...
  8. An earlier Hurribomber (replacing Fairey Battle)

    I did a search but didn't find this particular idea, though if it has been done, forgive me and send me the link! In my Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion ASB TL, knowing the problems faced by the Battles in May 1940, they are withdrawn early. With ASB foreknowledge an early Hurricane with hard...
  9. Destroyermen series.

    Just out of curiosity is there anyone else who likes Taylor Anderson's Destroyermen books. The latest, Blood in the Water is just out and I enjoyed it. Anyone else? Allan
  10. The Foresight War

    I've just re-read The Foresight War by Anthony G Williams. I did a thread search to see if it had been debated, and it didn't come up with anything. So could someone point me to where there is one, or did anyone else read it and what did you think? A few things that struck me that are worth...
  11. Expanded BEF 1914

    I finished a TL on ASB Forum that ISOTed the 1940 BEF to August 1914 to attack the flank of the German advance and throw them back behind the Meuse. In it I speculated on a what if posited by Allan Mallinson in his book 1914: Fight the Good Fight. He argues that the BEF who were thrown onto...
  12. airborne refueling before ww2

    There was a fair ammount of attempts at airborne refueling before the war, acording to wikipedia. What if it had become more widespread? I wonder if the luftwaffe had it how much longer their 109's would have had over England. Likewise fighter escorts long before the Mustang. What would have...
