  1. How "should" WWII in 1940 have gone?

    If only those pesky Soviets had stuck to the German plan, it would have all worked out.

  2. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Operation Unacceptable

  3. Stuka's used on precision strikes on London during the Blitz?

    I find it hard to believe you'd find any pilot willing to be the first to try it out. Although a fully laden Ju87 crashing into the target would do more damage than just the bombs, so that's some sort of benefit I guess.

  4. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    The Japanese are really in a vice now, and it's only going to squeeze tighter as time goes on.

  5. What if Japan declared war on the Soviet Union after Pearl Harbor?

    Bushido spirit? Seriously, what would Japan gain by invading the Soviet Union? There are no strategic resources, just mamba (miles and miles of bugger all). Even if a time traveller told them about the oil reserves it would be no use to them as they need oil now, not in 20 years time. Yes it...

  6. WI Ireland took advantage of the Falklands War to launch a sneak attack on Britain and liberate Ulster?

    I can't imagine for a moment that any senior officer in the IDF would carry out these orders. Stage 1: " Are you fucking insane?" Stage 2: "No I'm not going to get my troops killed needlessly" Stage 3: " I resign" Repeat until you have no more senior officers.

  7. Were there any other realistic D day landing sights then Calais or Normandy?

    Stop that! you're being silly.

  8. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Had to happen, didn't it. Rifle calibres.

  9. How useful would supersonic fighters have been for Germany during WW2?

    A question. If Germany built 1400 Me262s and only a maximum of 300 saw combat does that represent a net gain for the allies? What I'm getting at is all of the resources, materials, time, money and skilled labour that went into those jets that were never used. Would it have been better for the...

  10. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Also simplifies the job of the logies. Cases marked 75mm go to this unit, cases marked 77mm go to that unit. Keep things as simple as possible and you start to approach idiot-proof.

  11. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    The expression on his face does suggest "Shit, here we go again." He actually settled and lived the rest of his life in the US. Possibly because they were the first country that didn't conscript him.

  12. British aristocracy without the House of Lords Act 1999?

    Got her peerage for party services.

  13. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Does this mean we're unsupervised?

  14. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    If the troops in the Far East come to like the Churchill, they're going to love the Crocodile.

  15. Ekhronoplanes effect on operation sea lion

    Quick question. If ekranoplans are so wonderful, why is nobody using them?

  16. Ekhronoplanes effect on operation sea lion

    So the Germans are going to be lining up these craft on the French coast in preparation for the invasion and the British will do nothing ? Presumably they'd feel that interfering with the master plan would be unsporting.

  17. With hindsight, what should have been the US strategy in Vietnam?

    Was the Vietnam War worth winning?

  18. Derfflingers, Mackensens and Yorcks in WW2

    What you got there? Um, a smoothie.

  19. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    I have a mental image of unstoppable tanks, prowling through the jungle, hunting down Japanese troops. Tilly tigers.

  20. The volkssturmgewehr as the german WWII rifle

    This is Nazi Germany we're talking about. Do you think even for a moment it wouldn't end up massively over engineered and complicated?
