  1. Neural Italy: WWCD?

    I want to give my ''II Duce keeps out of the war TL'' a second try. I did a search and most of the "neutral Italy" discussions are about what the effect on Italy and Germany would be but What would Churchill do? On the one hand no hot war in the Med frees a certain degree of assets, on...

  2. Save the Wake Island Rail

    Ok, let´s save another species of birds from extinction. ;) Let´s put the POD no later than Dec 1st, 1941.

  3. Indian-Pakistani re-unification

    This just popped into my mind in light of recent events. Probably ASB-ish but let´s do it anyway: Pakistan is a mess and has been for most of the time since independance. India on the other hand has always been a stable democracy and it´s got a muslim population roughly as large as Pakistan´s...

  4. India and the DEI after the alternate WW2 ???

    Which direction could/would the two take after "Malaya Campaign"-WW2. For those -no doubt very, very, very few ;) - not familiar with what happened: On December 8th 1941 an extremely powerful elite force of the Imperial Japanese Army invaded the British colony of Malaya that was...

  5. WI you were Santa Clause in WW2 ???

    X-mas is less two weeks away, so lets use it to make a WI: Location: Santa´s not so secret North Pole base Date: A few weeks before the first Christmas of the war You are having breakfast –green tea and tofu as usual- when an elf bursts in and informs you there is a problem that...

  6. 1635: The Tangled Web

    Has someone read it yet? The story "Prince and Abbot" has definitely been published in the Gazzette a long time ago and I´m quite sure "Mail Stop" too. Ohh, and I don´t trust the review on Amazon, hence the question.

  7. Stickies yes or no ?

    The constant WW2 clichee threads like "Sea..., invasion and so on of PH, Hitler not antisemitic, ...." are IMO spamming this place again, and again and again. So what do you think about a "WW2 cliche"-Sticky in the post-1900 forum? Vote and explain. Edit: Neither Thande nor the Dutch can be blamed.

  8. The History of the Malaya Campaign

    Episode I: Malaya at peace - A country for old men This is the true, amazing and funny tale of the Malaya Campaign and it´s most unusal heroes. In mid-April 1939 Group Captain(ret.) Sir Miles Browning, DSO, DSC is reactivated, promoted to Air Commodore(=AC) and made head of the...

  9. WI: Operation Blazer

    You all know it, the grand but fatally delayed plan for a massive allied counteroffensive in South East Asia. What do you think? Could it have crushed the Japanese and how? Sadly we will never know. ;) By the way, someone knowing who to clam down an angry bear from California? With honey or...

  10. Pearl Harbour prepared!

    I posted this some time ago, but it´s nowwhere to be found any more. so here is my take of what could have happened if the US military had paid more attention to the known capabilities of the Japanese, instead of geuessing their intentions: June 1941: Brig.Gen. Becker arrives on PH...

  11. The sweeping saga of the Brewster Buffalo

    This is the true story of one of the most unusual and outstanding fighter planes of WW2. The Brewster Buffalo. But let´s start from the beginning: 1932: The Brewster Aeronautical Corporation is formed. The company build aircraft parts for the big manufacturers 1935: The USN accepts...

  12. WI: Decent superchargers in US fighters?

    Inspired by this posting (last paragraph) First some technical details: If a plane flies higher the air get less dense, so it can fly faster. However internal combustion engines need air to work or they will loose 50% power at 20,000 feet. So, in order to keep them working at higher...

  13. Wake Island: Construction workers to the front!

    Part 2 of "they fight with what they have". Part 1 is here. WI, August 22nd: Major L. Hohn and 170 Marines of Defence Battalion 1 arrive on Wake. They find 1,200 civilian construction workers building all sorts of facilities for the planned air/seaplane base. The critical defence...

  14. How the Marines won the Battle of Midway

    This is my counterposition to Pacific War Redux. No additional equipment, no "new" weapons, instead they fight with what they have! Midway Island: 05:45: A PBY reports the location of Kido Butai, all air personnel is alerted 05:55: radar reports incoming air raid 06:00: all...

  15. WI: Forum clean-up!

    Is it just me or is there a weekly "WI Hitler had been (insert name of country)"-posting? Or a regular "Nazi-pop culture" posting or a "non-racist/same Hitler" posting? So, what if the mods decided to "collect" all these re-occurring topics in one or two special threads?

  16. Japan invades the USA - real life ASB-fun

    You just have to read this: http://www.southbendtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071028/Ent/710280522/1038/Ent

  17. Slavery survives in the USA

    I recently watched the fake documentary "CSA" and got an idea: You need the consent of 3/4 of all US States to change the constitution, don´t you? With slavery legal in 15 states in 1860 the South needs not to worry as long as the USA has less than 60 states. Currently the number is 50. So...
