  1. I was just wondering if William Forstchen's 1945. . .

    Was at all plausible. The Germans having Jets and building nukes and so on.

  2. Who might become commander of the Army of the Potomac. . .

    If General George McClellan is not appointed to the post in 1861, and does anyone think that McClellan not being in command is a good or bad thing for the Union?

  3. Regarding a American Civil War question. . .

    Anyone have any ideas?

  4. Regarding a American Civil War question. . .

    Was James Wolfe Ripley correct that the Union army needed more basic muzzleloading rifle-muskets more than rapid fire breachloaders like the Sharps, Henry, and Spencer rifles? The U. S. Army being so small, only 16,000 effectives,certainly meant that any experienced cadre the U. S. Had was...

  5. I have a question regarding Shiloh in the American Civil War. . .

    What would have been the most likely result if Grant lost the battle of Shiloh, and would the loss have resulted in the Civil War being won by the South? I do not think so, but I would like to hear other peoples opinions on the subject.

  6. If Shiloh was lost, what are the likely results and changes to the Civil War?

    I had a conversation with some guy on Youtube about it. Any thoughts?

  7. This is a Question About the US Union Ordinance Department In the Civil War. . .

    One thing that always made me angry about the American Civil War is that, as far I can tell, the United States of America's Ordinance officer, a man named Ripley, wanted to equip the first 75,000 man Militia muster, with mostly smoothbore muskets and Springfield Armory Rifle-Muskets. There see...

  8. WW1 related question. . .

    Would the world have been better off if the Central Powers win WW1, or not? Assuming there is not another world war 20 years later?

  9. Regarding a question about Operation Sea Lion. . .

    It has to do with the loss of men and material if the invasion was ever launched. How many divisions would have been gutted, and how much artillery, tanks and other war material destroyed or captured, assuming the invasion failed?

  10. Just how plausible is the United States economic situation in Ward Moore's Bring the Jubilee?

    We are told in the beginning of Bring the Jubilee that the C. S. A. took from the United States Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, Kansas and California, and part of Nevada. The C. S. A. also forced the U. S. to pay reparations in gold. I don't consider that the C. S. A. could force the United...

  11. I have been wondering on and off about Harry Turtledove's How Few Remain/TL-191 universe.

    The TL works up until the alternative Franco-Prussian war expy, the Second Mexican-American War. Why would Britain and France still back the C. S. A. , when by 1881, the U. S. A. was nearly a match, industrially to Great Britain. I can't see a United States that was humiliated by the C. S. A...

  12. If Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had remained north of the Mason-Dixon Line After. . .

    Gettysburg, would that have helped or hurt the Confederacy's chances of winning the war?

  13. What the odds that a third strike on Pearl Harbor. . .

    Would have been able to destroy the dry dock, repair facilities, and oil tanks? Is it known how many army and navy aircraft, and anti-aircraft batteries were still operational? Because more than 29 aircraft were put out of comission in the 1st and 2nd waves.

  14. What I would like to see sometime regarding the How Few Remain/TL191 Universe is. . .

    A time traveler telling Lincoln and the Republicans the future if they allow the Confees to continue to exist. A legacy of war for 82 years, the Black Genocide, and 2 world wars fought on American soil. There was that Guns of the North story but it didn't go far. If there is a group I hate the...

  15. Was just reading a thread about British Spitfires and Hurricanes. . .

    And was wondering, was the Hawker Hurricane a good or bad aircraft? I know the Hurricane shot down more aircraft than the Spitfire during the Battle of Britain. Anyone have an opinion on the subject?

  16. Question about the massive loss of equipment The British Army took at Dunkirk. . .

    I saw a partial list of the Table of Organization equipment abandoned at Dunkirk. Many of the tanks were light tanks only armed with machine guns, many of the field guns 18-pounders from the First World War. Would the fact that many of the British Army's heavy weapons were obsolescent, if not...

  17. Question about Italian Surrender in WW2 and German backstab. . .

    Has anyone on this board done a ASB SI into Marshal Badoglio, just after Mussolini was sacked and the Italians surrendered/stopped offensive operations against the Western Allies? If M. Badoglio had any guts at all, the Italians could have fought the Germans and won in several areas.

  18. WW2 Question. . .

    Actually 2 or 3. Was a Halifax ministry possible under the May 1940 wartime conditions? And, if Halifax were to become minister, would he really have made peace with the Germans? The circumstances of such a peace would be disastrous in both the short and long term for Britain. It would probably...

  19. Just how Plausible is Harry Turtledove's "The Man With the Iron Heart?"

    German Nazi leadership admitting the war was lost and giving Heidrich men and weapons for a insurgency anytime before 1944 seems ASB, and after 1944 only Volksturm units might have been spared, and those would have been next to useless.

  20. Just noticed something interesting about the original Dies The Fire Trilogy. . .

    Mike Havel is sort of based on Hereward the Wake. . . He even kills a very angry, maybe ordinary, maybe fey bear, like Hereward killed the Fairy Bear in English folklore. He then marries a real witch queen, like Hereward's wife was rumored to be. He then fights a man who bases an entire culture...
