  1. Fail-Safe: What Happens Next?

    Finished re-reading Fail-Safe by Eugene Harvey & Burdick Wheeler. It was made into a movie which follows the book's plot pretty closely. The short version, a mechanical failure in the Fail-Safe system directs a group of SAC supersonic bombers to attack their target inside the USSR, Moscow. The...

  2. A Decade after Red Storm Rising?

    Thinking about doing this as a TL. What happens following the end of the Third World War in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising? For those not quite familiar with it, the book has a conventional WWIII between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The war ends in a ceasefire with NATO having the upperhand. The...

  3. A Short Victorious War: A Nazi Cold War

    Alright this TL is for an alternate Cold War I'm working on. The first part deals with how the Germans win World War II, basically by forcing a settlement with Britain and why America is not at war with Germany. A Short Victorious War September 1939- Germany invades Poland. Using...

  4. Nazi Missile Development?

    Assuming the Germans win World War II, how would their missile technology developed in a resulting Cold War with America and Britain? I'm interested in doing some Nazi missiles (IRBMs, ICBMs, etc) for the alternate weapons of war thread. Would the Germans stick with the V naming system, how...

  5. Invasion by Macksey Opinions?

    Found this at the Half Price Books and picked it up. Just finished today and I thought it was pretty good. I wanted to know what happens next as WWII is altered by the fall of England. It is written very well but I'm wondering what is the board's expert opinion of Invasion? One thing I was...

  6. Maps of 1940 Hawaii/Oahu

    I working on something AH and was wondering if anyone has any good maps of 1940s Hawaii (specifcally 1942) or if anyone knows a good site to go find some. Thanks!

  7. Weapons of Despire on the Oder

    Reading Antony Beevor's The Fall of Berlin: 1945 and a short section of a chapter talked about Soviet preparations for chemical warfare. What if Hitler had given permission to use the Verzweiflungswaffen 'weapons of despair' against the Soviet bridgeheads on the Oder, or during their advance...

  8. Alternate Pearl Harbor Attack?

    Instead of ignoring the report from the USS Ward that it had sunk a submarine in the approach to the harbor, the Navy reacts. The Battleships are warmed up and sent out of the harbor into the waters off Pearl Harbor. This leads to the Japanese strike forced to engage them off Oahu. Does this...

  9. Screaming Eagles in Arnhem

    Almost done re-reading A Bridge Too Far. Anyway been wondering what would have happened if an American airborne division (82nd or 101st) had been dropped into Arnhem. Obiviously this is a little ASB as Monty wouldn't have let the Americans have the 'honnor' of taking the bridge over the Rhine...

  10. Northern Storm: Second Korean War 2003 TL

    My first TL enjoy! Coming out of the 1994 Korean War thread. Second Korean War Timeline January 29, 2002- President George W. Bush during his State of the Union address announces North Korea as being part of an Axis of Evil with Iraq and Iran. He cites these nations as working to...

  11. Second Korean War 1994

    Inspired by the ROK defense thread, how possible was it for war to break out during the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis. As I understand things North Korea broke agreements to have its nuclear faclities inspect. Threats of scantions lead to counter claims of war from the DPRK. A deal was...

  12. Desing a WWII IFV (No Half-Tracks!)

    Ever since here about one in The Foresight War I was wondering what would a good WWII IFV look like for the different nations? I am think any such vehicle would be based on an already in use chasis. It would be lightly armored and probably more in the league of an M113 than a Bradley or Marder...

  13. Nazi Cold War

    After being inspired by the Weapons of the Reich thread and the Nazi Victory or Survives TL thread in the writer's forum, I made this. Its an attempt to create a world in 1985 where Nazi Germany dominates Europe and is locked in a Cold War with the United States. Now my thinking for this is...

  14. Warsaw Pact-Bolt from the Blue

    Okay most NATO vs Warsaw Pact fiction and scenarios have both sides getting ready and expecting the war. What I'm wondering is what would happen if Group of Soviet Forces Germany and other Warsaw Pact units attacked with little to no warning. My idea is this, 1985 the Russians have their...

  15. Jericho Final Thoughts?

    Okay Jericho has come and gone. But after visiting Wiki there may be some small hope that it get picks up by Scifi. I hope so since I want to see the civil war! For anyone who doesn't know about the show: Wiki Link I enjoyed the second season. Liked the idea of the country being spilt...

  16. World War III: 1989 Ideas?

    Okay I tried twice to do a WWIII story on the board. I'm thinking about giving it another go and was going to try and actually give it a cause this time. Set in 1989 I've been looking for areas the Cold War can go hot. My first idea involves the USSR cracking down on the Eastern European...

  17. Cluster Bombs in WWII

    Just a weapons thought. What affect would anti-armor or personal cluster bombs have on the Second World War? I think they would have made niftty anti-tank weapons, P-47 armed with them could make short work of the German Panzer columns. On the Axis side, the Germans could use them against...

  18. 1633: Worth a read?

    Just finished reading 1632 and I'm really impressed. Its my understanding that 1633 is the next book in the series so anyone want to warn me off before purchasing it?

  19. Alt Gulf War

    This comes out of the you're a Saddam commander in Gulf War. What if Iraq had attacked with its RG divisions south into Saudi Arabia when there were little to no US forces in the area, the 82nd, 101st and other RDF forces are the only ones in the way besides the Briagdes of the Saudi Army. Can...

  20. Tiananmen Square ALT outcome?

    I watched a program on the History Channel last night about that fateful day in China. It got me thinking, what would have happened if some of the PLA units decided to side with the protesters rather than carry through with their orders to enter the sqaure at all cost? Now its unlikely that some...
