  1. WI:The German Invasion of France in 1940 fails?

    What would the consequences of this be? Also how could this happen with events going as OTL up to May 10th. I still see the Germans holding a fair portion of France, most/all of Belgium and the Netherlands. But without knocking France out of the war are we looking at a rerun of World War One?

  2. The consequences of no pacific war on WW2

    Assuming that somehow the pacific war is averted, what affect would this have on the course of WW2? I think that the USA would still eventually come into the war due to the undeclared war that USA was fighting against u-boats etc. One immediate effect would be that troops, planes and ships...

  3. Invasion of Norway fails in April 1940-what next?

    What would the effects be of a failed German invasion of Norway? The POD being that the Royal Navy manages to sink or turn back enough transports, that the invasion fails within 2 days. 1. How realistic would this be? 2. what would the long term effects be? 3. would this effect the German...

  4. What if Vichy France declares war on UK?

    Basic question really what happens if Vichy France declares war on The UK after the Royal Navy attacks Mers el-Kebir? How does effect the war in the Med and the Naval war generally? Also is this plausible?

  5. War Memorandun (eastern) an Anglo Japanese naval conflict.

    I have just started reading a book about Royal naval planning for a conflict with Japan in the interwar period, and its fascinating stuff. Im only a quarter of the way through but the basics of the plan are as follows. Use in place forces to protect trade, until the main fleet arrives (40-90...

  6. Not through the Ardennes

    If as they originally planned in May 1940, the Germans followed an updated schlieffen plan and made their main thrust through Belgium, what would have happened? Could the allies have held them? The POD being that the palne that was carrying the plans orders did not crash like in our OTL.

  7. 1935 - The Royal Navy and the New Fleet Plan

    I have just been reading Correlli Barnetts Engage the Enemy More Closely, In the chapter dealing with the pre war re-armanent period he mentions that there was a "New Fleet Plan" designed to give a fleet of the following strength 20 Battleships, 15 aircraft carriers, 100 cruisers, 198 destroyers...

  8. What if the Afrika Korp destroyed at the Battle of Gazala?

    I have been reading Raising Churchills Army by David French and on Page 219, I came across this "Had it not been for the efforts of the Ariete and Trieste in overunning British postions and linking up with the DAK on 28-9 May, and the work of the Italian X Corps in opening a path through the...

  9. What if the Bismarck had surrended?

    I read in the paper today, how two familes, who had relatives who served on HMS Rodney during the battle, claimed that the Bismarck tried to surrender. Due to Churchills order to sink the Bismarck, senior officers aboard ignored this. Now I dont know whether this is true, but what would the...

  10. An all Mosquito Bomber Command

    I have been thinking about this idea for a couple of days. What effect would Bomber Command having an all mosquito bomber force from early 1943 have? My thinking on this goes along these lines having seen results of night bombing highlighted in the Butt report of august 1941, the RAF realises...

  11. Tube Alloys questions.

    I really dont know much about the Tube Alloys project, so I have a few questions based on a scenario where the USA does not enter the war against Germany so you have the Soviets and UK against Germany. Lend lease etc contiues. How far advanced was the project before it was subsumed into the...

  12. A better Fleet Air Arm?

    I got to thinking about this after starting the British victory in the Indian Ocean thread. How could you get a better Fleet Air Arm withought butterflying away events like the Washington naval treaty or the continued existence of the RAF? My take on this is, the OTL inskip award takes place...

  13. British Victory in the Indian Ocean 1942?

    What are the possibilties/chances of the British either inflicting a defeat on the Kido Butai during the IJNs indian ocean raid of April 1942, (By defeat I mean anything from 1 carrier being lost up to a Midway style victory I know the last is improbable) or the british inflicing much heavier...

  14. Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs in use 1943.

    A what if based on two of my favorite weapons of WW2. If the British had of developed these two bombs approximatley 1 year earlier so they were avaiable for use in July 1943 what happens? Initialy I see them being used against U- Boat pens and German Capital ships in port, but what other...

  15. Was a larger UK rearmament program in the 1930s possible?

    I am currently reading "The war of the world" by Niall Ferguson and in a chapter on appeasment he argues that britain could have afforded a much larger rearmament program than they actually undertook. Indeed he also states that this might have helped the british economy. Now I have three...

  16. A different World War 2

    This scenario is something that I have thought about for a while. What would the military implications be for the following scenario. The war in the Pacific does not occur as the Japanese do not attack China in 1937, there is no trade embargo and no need for war. However the USA become involved...

  17. Britain fights on in 1917 -1918 ?

    I have often thought about this. If France collapsed in 1917 -1918, and the USA had not joined the conflict, would the British and the Dominions, have fought on? Could they have fought on and how would such a confllict go?

  18. Tirpitz sunk in March 1942

    While returning from an unsucessful attempt to locate the artic convoys PQ12 and QP8, on the 11th March 1942 the Tirpitz was attacked by aircraft from HMS Victorious. They did no damage. The question - what if they either sank her, or did a Bismarck and crippled her so she could be sunk by the...

  19. WI no war of 1812?

    I am currently reading a book on the war of 1812, and have been wondering if there had been no war how would this have of changed history? One thing I can think of is prehaps Canadian and American national identity would have developed in a different direction. Of course the USA would have a...

  20. TL-191 British and French Victory

    Dont know if this is the right section or should it be ASB? I have some questions based around this POD in TL-191. The British, French and Russians defeat Germany by July 1943. How does this affect the conflict in America? What would the allies have to do to defeat Germany? Would the...
