  1. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    I somewhat feel bad for Sanna. Half as evil and twice as smart as Mussolini but with two terrible "allies".

  2. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    Japan attacking this timelines Australia would be overly complicated for dubious gain and a logistical nightmare with Japan's historic supply issues. So give it a 30% chance. My original point is that Churchill does "something" that makes the Commonwealth Nations sour on the UK. That means...

  3. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    The line of Churchill "dictating to the Commonwealths" to me sounds the most ominous. Perhaps a WWII Gallipoli equivalent with a lot of dead Canadians? Or Japan somehow actually invades Australia after Churchill has the Aussies move most of their soldiers to Europe or Africa.

  4. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    I more mean the logistical aspects. "We are fighting a war on 2.5 fronts and losing our industrial capabilities. Maybe we should slow down our side project." "Nein."

  5. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    A normal country getting bombed to shit by the US and UK and far worse getting the Soviet Army approaching their borders might decide to slow down the "Final Solution" but not NAZI Germany. They were certainly invested in their racist stupidity if nothing else.

  6. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    Joking aside I have noticed that any time Switzerland is not neutral is when things are really "bad."

  7. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    Is any alternate TL brave enough to make Switzerland non neutral?

  8. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    I liked the New Foundland military update. After the various long detailed lists of military forces the "they ain't got shit" worked as a meta joke to me at least.

  9. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    Finland in WWII has (to me) always been a very interesting story. They were cobelligerents with Nazi Germany because of the USSR but clearly did not like them in the least. Also that Helsinki was one of 3 only European capitals that were not occupied by their enemy during or after the war but...

  10. Battlestar galactica

    Agreed to all the above. Space fighters heck just "World War II IN SPACE" is probably a bit unrealistic for real space combat. But "rule of cool" and all that. The lack of lighter ships is a massive issue. What we "know" about the Colonial Military (from the show) is that 30 Battlestars is a...

  11. Battlestar galactica

    The Cylin Armada is almost really good. The Raider and Heavy Raider are great. The Basestar is good IF it had a bad ass Armored Cruiser heavy gun ship to support it. Or maybe some high flak light cruiser equivalent. But only having one type of Cylon ship hurt them. The Basestar was much better...

  12. Battlestar galactica

    Now in a "fair" fight between the Colonies and the Cylons well the Cylons would have been murder stomped. Even the Pegasus at it's strongest had taken major damage was not fully supplied and had half it's Vipers. A dozen fully armed and more importantly have the ability to rearm Mercuries could...

  13. Did the Germans have to take Gibraltar to block entrance into the Western Med ?

    Why do.people think all the Axis, Fascist, or even vaguely slightly leaning towards Nazi Germany (or against the Allied countries) are chomping at the bit to help Hitler? In real life all the Axis countries had their own goals. There was a lot of delaying and half assimg. Now IF Unmentionable...

  14. Did the Germans have to take Gibraltar to block entrance into the Western Med ?

    Can the Axis supply the Canary Islands? Franco did a pretty good job of purging dissidents from there but there is always someone who wants Independence or likes the UK or the "neutral" US. more than fascist Spain. In short is Gibraltar worth more than the Canary Islands to Franco? Not saying...

  15. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    Glenn so again you are stating that the Germans can make large logistical and doctrinal changes as needed but the British are stuck with their historical abilities? That seems questionable.

  16. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    Wait you said summer of 1940 but that's of dubious merit since the "Battle of Britain" didn't start in any large degree until July 10th and Germany was using day bombing primarily until the end of September. If the RAF was bad at night fighting and the LW decent at it why launch a huge...

  17. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    Where did I say day raids? You are putting words in my mouth. So Glenn let me ask you a question I apparently don't understand. Can the LW drive the RN out of Portsmouth while not losing a crippling amount of planes? Remember every German pilot that does not make it back to Nazi territory is...

  18. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    Do you think the LW can drive the RN out of Portsmouth with the RAF helping defend? Again Portsmouth is well a port meaning on land with a large number of antiaircraft guns and the RAF advantage of damaged planes better able to limp home and pilots that have to parachute out being far more...

  19. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    Glenn I am picking up a strong "Choose Your Own Adventure" vibe from you. That you the reader know that Barbarossa is unwinable so you go back to the "Sea Lion branch" but not sure where to go from there. Which is why you have so many mutually exclusive ideas. Or to put it another way I feel...

  20. Operation Sea Lion (1974 Sandhurst Wargame)

    That is very very unfair. You have used as proof that Sea Lion has a chance that the LW did better over the Channel than the RAF. You then say that the LW would be attacking RN ports. When I pointed out that ports have anti-aircraft and well are over land you ignore that fact. You are unwilling...
