    Miss Buffy at RAF Brize Norton, early 1987. These three each have at least eighty Mark-82s fully loaded internally, and no ordnance on their external pylons. The target? "Somewhere in the European USSR."
  2. Alternate/What If Osprey Titles

    Tomcat vs. Tomcat: The U.S. Navy Against the Iranian Air Force, 1980. (Air combat during Eagle Claw: the hostage rescue mission) F-16 Units of The Second Korean War (the ‘94 nuclear crisis goes to a shooting war-with both USAF and ROKAF aircraft featured).

    U.S.S. Kitty Hawk (CV-63) at sea, 1986. Two years before a crippling Backfire attack rendered her CTL.
  4. TL-191: Navy Blue and Gray - Naval Forces of the USA and CSA

    Well, if you're stationed on Bimini, it's probably easy duty-though knowing that if the Confederates come out from Florida, your war is likely to be a short one.
  5. TL-191: Navy Blue and Gray - Naval Forces of the USA and CSA

    Bases on Andros, Grand Bahama, and Paradise Island (Nassau) are a given, along with some Army for garrison duties and Marines to protect the Naval installations. Airfields on the major islands for fighters and bombers (including Naval Air) are also going to be there. No doubt this also includes...

    Probably the minimum to make an attacker pay a price-but with the Bahamas, the Confederates would take them eventually. Bermuda might have had more as it's way out in the Atlantic, and out of land-based air cover from the Mainland.
  7. TL-191: Navy Blue and Gray - Naval Forces of the USA and CSA

    You’re right: it was Bermuda and the Bahamas after the 1st GW. I do agree: a Marine doing a Caribbean campaign could have been shown.

    Anything new in the pipeline?
  9. What if the War of the Worlds took place in the 1980s?

    Good question: I just watched the same movie last night, for the umpteenth time. You'd still have to find a way to beat their shields, and when the nukes fail, start thinking about either a guerilla resistance, or some kind of biological warfare approach. As Dr. Forrester said after the nuclear...

    Here's one right now: Kamchatka Raid #2, 1988: A B-52 strike on a supply depot near the Petropavolsk-Kamchatka Naval Base...

    The cartels in the four states occupied by the U.S. have been eradicated. Yes, they were used as tools by the Communists in Mexico and the “Revolutionary Government” got a cut. The war did cut into their profits, and when it was found out they had helped get Spetsnatz and Cuban TE (their SOF)...

    They stayed Communist after the Third World War, and when the Baja War broke out after Baja became the 51st State on 1 Jan 2010, they started another war with the U.S.. Three weeks later, it was over after the U.S. Army and Marines took Mexico's four northernmost states and part of a fifth (this...

  14. TL-191: Navy Blue and Gray - Naval Forces of the USA and CSA

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the U.S. just get the Bahamas after the 1st GW? The other British-along with the French- Caribbean islands didn't go to the U.S. until after the end of the 2nd GW.
  15. TL-191: Navy Blue and Gray - Naval Forces of the USA and CSA

    With both the USA and Germany busy in the Atlantic and North Sea/Baltic respectively-especially in the SGW, British and French Commerce in the South Atlantic and the IO needs some interdicting. Raiders similar to OTL's Wolf, Mowe, Atlantis, Thor, Pinguin, Kormoran, etc. from both the USN and...
