  1. M4 Sherman 75mm vs. 76.2mm HE Rounds

    Historically, the M4 Sherman was upgunned from a 75mm gun to a 76.2mm gun. This was a great advantage when fighting German tanks and other AFVs due to the higher shell velocity and higher armor penetration (even if not quite enough to reliably deal with Tigers and Panthers with conventional...

  2. D-Day in 1943: Plausibility and operations in France

    I think the lack of British cooperation was more a matter of planning for it, since they liked the idea of a logistics buildup for eventual operations. The port disorganization is interesting, but surely this could be resolved in 1943 in the same manner that it was historically if there was...

  3. Alternate Battle of Lorraine 1914

    Whoops, you are right. I had this same file, but I opened the historical pdf instead of the one I was supposed to be looking at. However, this actually spreads out the German defenders even more. The historical 6th army is now responsible for the Metz fortress area (second army on your map)...

  4. Alternate Battle of Lorraine 1914

    In general yes, but the artillery needs to be observed and quite close to really close the mines. Historically, the Germans got a lot of critical ore from the mines in France north and east of Verdun. In this scenario, the French will keep those mines, avoding any iron shortages. It will be the...

  5. Alternate Battle of Lorraine 1914

    Well, I do think that the French will end up holding some ground in Germany. The ground will be mostly meaningless, of course (aside from some iron mines northwest of Metz). My interpretation of the initiation dispositions (showing corps) and final dispositions (blue line) are shown on your map...

  6. Alternate Battle of Lorraine 1914

    I love your use of maps to show details. However, there are a few issues with the scenario that may in part stem from minor issues of including certain available troops. First, German combat power is greatly overestimated. The French, while no doubt running into some nasty surprises and have...

  7. Alternate Battle of Lorraine 1914

    This is an interesting scenario. I made a “Gross Ostmarche” scenario for the Der Weltkrieg game (an excellent operational level WWI series) a long time ago to simulate the first several months of such a conflict based on von Staabs deployment plan. In this plan, five armies are sent east while...

  8. D-Day in 1943: Plausibility and operations in France

    The north Pacific offensive to retake the Attu and Kiska was unnecessary and used a lot of shipping for no gain. The south Pacific offensives in 1943/1944 were also likely unnecessary (and even some of the Central Pacific offensives like the Gilberts and Iwo Jima). The helped attrit the...

  9. D-Day in 1943: Plausibility and operations in France

    Historically, Panzer Lehr was formed based on training units in early 1944 as part of the build up to defenses in France. This was a relatively quiet time in the war... operations in Italy and Russia were slowed by weather It thus emerged as a pretty robust panzer division with high quality...

  10. D-Day in 1943: Plausibility and operations in France

    The possibility of Roundup has interested me for quite a while. I made some rules for in in the game Liberty Roads (http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?8@@.1dd317cd - post 1918) that I finally got around to posting. It doesn't necessarily present the most optimal invasion or response or even the...
