  1. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    In the 'new' HOI4, I took the USA. I built as much as I could in terms of Infantry Divisions, then built a line in New Mexico (behind the Rio Grande) and defended Maryland/Virginia. I went with Alf Landon as POTUS in 1936, North Carolina and New Jersey stayed loyal, and Canada declined to...

  2. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Play the US. Take Landon as POTUS. You only have to fight the CSA and AUS. You get good battle experience, and you can win the civil war by early 1939. Enough time deal with whoever wins in Europe. Like the new version.

  3. Earlier Proof of Rogue Waves

    For centuries, mariners have reported the existence of deep water monster waves reaching to 100 feet in height or more. These reports were dismissed by the scientific community as myths due to the Linear Model (used to predict wave height) that said a 100-ft wave could occur only once in 10,000...

  4. BMN/FasterThanRaito's Hoi4/Paradox inspired maps

    Try a US Global Hegemony scenario. I've seen that tree, but never tried it ...

  5. Red Napoleon

    Interesting book. Old. Basic premise is OK, but written before WWII, so the author missed things (like tanks and airplanes - oh yeah and any concept of logistics). More like a super WWI. One big problem - the author is a racist. No by the standards of 1929 when it was written, but by our...

    Now that's a BREXIT ...

  7. Map Thread XVIII

    Sounds like a Zeihan fan ...

  8. The Day the Music Lived

    POD: Feb 3, 1959 Pretty straight-forward - rather than crashing and killing everyone on board, the plane carrying Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper lands safely. What now? My impression is that of the three, Buddy Holly was the biggest name, and perhaps gives Elvis a run for his...

  9. Map Thread XV

    CalBear is right, dude. Just drop it.

  10. Map Thread XV

    The Saudis aren't armed with nothing better than pila and ballistae and aren't sitting on some of the best farmland in the world in an area many Americans have historical ties to. Any Hollywood-inspired romantic attachment to the glories of ancient Rome will collapse in the face of a 60% slave...

  11. Map Thread XV

    Because the Romans will happily crucify children. The first time that gets youtube'd, Roman independence comes to an utter and abrupt end.

  12. Map Thread XV

    S If this happens, Britain becomes a US Territory - none of this 'competing powers' stuff - the US will own it.

  13. Map Thread XIV

    Shale, I guess. That explains Western North Dakota, at least.

  14. AHC: Europe vs the USSR

    1920: The Soviets win the Battle of the Vistula. Poland absorbed into the USSR. 1921: Germany make an emergency appeal to the Allies about re-armament. The Red Army was badly mauled taking Poland, but is re-equipping quickly. Lessons learned are being integrated into the Red Army's...

  15. Pacific Ordeal

    While we wait for the next update ... A Soviet/Japan alliance would be a nightmare in the Pacific. I can only imagine that the Red Air Force would in fact be able to contest the air over a US CV Battlegroup, and that, while unaccustomed to a anti-shipping role, be able to inflict massive...

  16. Pacific Ordeal

    US + UK + Commonwealth vs USSR + Japan in 1944? US/UK/CW win in 1947. The problem is that the demographic catastrophe this represents rivals AANW. Stalin can't save Japan. The Soviet Navy is a joke and even if (somehow) the entire Italian Navy got added, the American carriers blow them...

  17. Pacific Ordeal

    Given the fact that this is 'Pacific' ordeal, some thoughts: 1. The US can't grow Essex-class carriers any faster, but far, far more lift is available to the Pacific now. 2. More airpower as well. 3. With total US focus on the Pacific (unless Stalin does something spectacularly stupid in...

  18. Pacific Ordeal

    More, please.

  19. Pacific Ordeal

    So the US lost less than Shiloh or Day 2 at Gettysburg?

  20. Pacific Ordeal

    Roosevelt is healthier at Sochi than at Yalta. I can only hope that means a firmer hand on the tiller and less tolerance for Soviet hijinks. Also, the British are stronger. They have had two years less of war - or at least war in Europe - to weaken them. No Buzz Bombs. No Mt Casino. No...
