  1. WI Wallies Stalingrad

    Ok, so we've had discussions here like what if the Germans had garrisoned the Pacific islands during the Pacific war? Well instead of having the Wallies in Stalingrad, let's change the scenario a bit. Let's say Stalin begs and threatens the Wallies that unless they open a main theater in...

  2. WI, Bulgaria joins CP with Ottomans

    Ok, I tried looking for this POD, and found nothing. Bulgaria joined the CP in Sept 1915, which meant offensive action against Serbia in Oct of 1915. This may be ASB, as the Germans were autistic when it came to to diplomacy. But what if, with no big PODs, they were able to get the Bulgarians...

  3. No Barbabarossa, no PH?

    OOC if the Germans didn't launch Barbarossa in 41, would the Japanese not have gone to war with the WAlliees? I know that the Japanese had realized that they were running out of oil, and that by Dec 41, they were at a die or die point. But did the calculations take into consideration the...

  4. Axis Turkey...butterflies?

    Ok, we have gone over the possibility of an Axis Turkey many times here. I love this site, but often times, posters end up getting fixated on small and really mundane parts. Anyhow, what I would like to discuss is; If Turkey joins the Axis sometime in late 40 til around June 41. Let us settle...

  5. NO PH, the USN sorties to the PIs?

    If Japan simply made a DOW, and then went on the offense in WWII. How would the US and especially the USN navy respond to the Japanese invasion of the PI. Esp with the investment of the Bataan pen? With the Pacific fleet afloat, I don't see how public would allow the US to let the PI just fall...

  6. Strafing the oil field at PH?

    What if the Japanese strafed the oil fields at PH? Would that be enough to destroy most of the petrol stored there? Could strafing have pierced the armor to the of the the tanks? I know the 20mm that the zero had would have no problem. But would they cause enough leakage that the US would have...

  7. CW Maryland camp with no lost orders?

    Besides the vague scenario that HT set up for us in his series, I haven't seen much written hon how the Maryland campaign would have gone if the Union didn't get hold of Lee's Special Order 191. What would exactly, or generally have occurred? Could McClellan react and catch Lee, without knowing...

  8. NO HK and China's econ

    What if at the end of WWII, the Nationalists seized Hong Kong from the Japanese, or accepted their surrender. Then refused to return it to the British, whom the Americans would leave SOL in this situation. That said, now with China, and how much money and know how has been transmitted through...

  9. Instead of Verdon, a bigger Asiago

    I think that this board is lacking in WWI AH, something fierce. That said, I don't think many people in general appreciate how dire the situation was for the Italians. They basically exhausted themselves against the fairly stretched thin AH armies. Von Falkenhayn was all about the western...

  10. Why no, no PH TL?

    I would LOVE to read a TL that had the Japanese simply declare war on Dec 7th 1941, and simply going to war after that. Having the US navy sorte out into the Western Pacific to take on the Imperial Japanese fleet. Some epic early carrier battles, and of course we'd see a lot of BBs action=D...

  11. Spain circa 1590-1610 how to undo CF

    How wold late 1500's Spain be able to avoid the abyss that they are about to march into? So many problems. Dutch wars. Terrible tax burden in Castille. No industry in Iberia. Lazy and worthless nobility that was busy mooching. No building of any transportation networks in Iberia, in fact it...

  12. Battle of France and Churchill

    I remember reading that when he Battle of France started going bad, that Churchill got one of his schemes going. He offered France to become part of the UK or something silly like that. But the actual insane part was his idea for keeping the Brittany Pen occupied by Allied forces. What would...

  13. WI: Axis planes had .50

    It seems as though both Japanese an German Planes had the same armament, pair or so of .30 and 20mm. Now the 20mm, posses gret stopping power, but cannons have a few drawbacks: 1. Their trajectory has a good deal of drop off making em not so great at any real distance. 2. Due to weight/space...

  14. Wooden ships, and the damage they could sustain 1600s

    I finished a book about Lepanto recently, and in it, it talked about how light the Ottoman Galleys were. The places where their archers were mounted were not meant to take a sustained amount of damage. It stated that the arquebus shots of the HL would have soon pierced the Galley's siding. The...
