  1. WI: Cybernetic sharks as naval weapons?

    No good, tornados are vulnerable against house hold bombs and chainsaws

  2. Shut Up Arthur! WWI without American Entry

    Well see my post above, I've given you the mentality of all characters involved, the relative importance of the telegram to USW, the context of American reactions to a similar event with Mexico, and the timeline of events; nothing implausible like you claimed; go ahead make a thread on the...

  3. Shut Up Arthur! WWI without American Entry

    So your conjecture then? Having read on Zimmermann I can tell you that he thought it a harmless hypothetical , that "Zimmermann hoped that Americans would understand that the idea was that Germany would not fund Mexico's war with the United States unless the Americans joined World War I."...

  4. Shut Up Arthur! WWI without American Entry

    Shrug, the man's sick-regardless of his personality. I'm can edit the post to show how terribly sick :evilsmile: As for America; yes Wilson knew and only Wilson, foreign sec Hull, and a few others knew- not the wider public or even congress since the British wanted to keep the method of...

  5. Shut Up Arthur! WWI without American Entry

    Yet it did happen IOTL, and American companies traded anyways during 1915s period of USW just as IOTL. Short of US government sanctions, which the US gov was really hesitant to do till war IOTL there were enough sympathizers and apolitical businesses in all of America. Sure the British can...

  6. Shut Up Arthur! WWI without American Entry

    They had proof yes, but they played it close to their chest just like IOTL and most Americans-especially the Irish and Germans believed it a British forgery. "Stole it from the Mexican consultates and didn't alter it? Sounds suspicious." Here Zimmerman doesn't confirm it at a public conference...

    Threadmarks: Eastern Front Late 1917: Food, Peace, Freedom and Land

    Eastern Front Late 1917: As the Kerensky Offensive begins many soldiers simply refuse to attack, those that do are the most reliable of the remaining Tsarist-now Provisional Government's forces. Directed by the famous Aleksei Brusilov the attack is directed at the weaker Austrian forces...

    Threadmarks: Western Front 1917: Mortgaging The Colonies

    Western Front 1917 Decided during the Chantilly Conferences in 1916, Franco-British preparations continue for the Neville offensives. Despite reservations from Petain the overwhelming majority of French civilians, leadership, and soldiers want to reclaim French land; their discontent limited to...

    Threadmarks: Eastern Front Early 1917: Kerensky Bets It All

    Eastern Front Early 1917 The provisional government(PG), under the belief that their military is revitalized with "a new democratic spirit" just because they replaced the head and plans continue for a July offensive in ignorance of all the seething troubles of the Tsarist government. With the...

    Threadmarks: Atlantic Theatre 1917: Zimmerman Says No

    "Are you sure ambassador?" “Mexico’s hatred for America is well-founded and old, send the proposal” Arthur Zimmermann. Atlantic Theatre 1917 POD 1. FEB 1917: While suffering from a bout of indigestion, Zimmerman mutters a quick no and rushes towards the lavatory when questioned about the...

  12. USA doesn't join WW1 but Germany still loses?

    Defense in depth and reserves; there's only so far men and horses can go before exhaustion and hunger just like IOTL. If they have enough intel and surprise is lost then artillery storms for the highly trained and vulnerable storm troopers. On the receiving side its amazing that after 3 years of...

  13. No Japanese invasion of China in '37 but instead a Japanese invasion of the USSR in '41.

    In the 80s with better tech, infrastructure, and global customers sure.

  14. No Japanese invasion of China in '37 but instead a Japanese invasion of the USSR in '41.

    Well you'd need four pods: one for Japan to go north, another for Chiang to cave in, another for Hitler to see the USSR as a serious long-term fight instead of on the edge of collapse, and the other for Hitler to actually cordinate with the Japanese, who didn't even tell the Japanese IOTL. Of...

  15. USA doesn't join WW1 but Germany still loses?

    Well sure, they weren't the aristocrats and arch-imperialists that actually held power in England.

  16. USA doesn't join WW1 but Germany still loses?

    Its the weird things with these threads: that something changes from IOTL but the French and English do nothing to adapt, the Germans are suddenly supermen doing what took tanks, trucks, planes, and a new command staff did in 41 but on foot, and OTL's 1918 counter offensive that broke the...

  17. Could Germany get Peace without Victory with Russia after the February revolution?

    Except when they had already lost, those in power for Germany were very punitive, below average in diplomacy, bad at coordinating with allies, and over-optimistic. They kept on demanding everything until it was too late and they got nothing. A little tact, realism and humility would done...

  18. USA doesn't join WW1 but Germany still loses?

    That's two parts; 1 Japanese lobbying against China sending more help than they did. 2 simple racism aka what use is a Chinaman? 3 they didn't like training the Chinese (civilian or military) incase they thought themselves equals and worthy of anything but colonialism. But, as OTL showed the...

  19. Germany holding the Channel = German Victory WW1 discussion thread.

    Hmm with 2 of 3 major channel ports gone, it might just end up with a very defensive front to the impotent rage of the French. Not sure if this helps the central powers or not.

  20. Could Germany have negotiated a lasting victory in Summer-Fall 1941?

    Nazi ideology, held by the inner circle dictated that the Jews were genetically out to kill all the Aryans. Any truce that isn't debilitating is just letting the Asiatic hordes mobilize. That aside the best case is that the British refuses to yield as long as the RN sails and the USSR gets a...
