Oh my. Pandora's box has been opened there. I feel the riptide sucking me towards it. Looks pretty ruthless there.

Oh good Lord!

Those are worse than ours!* Take a look at this one!
WW2 with a Communist USA - Alternate History Discussion Board

*Actually ours are very good (or at least better than they used to be, very good is a bit too strong) now, thanks to our skilled team of moderators.

They are putty in my hands. I am going in with 100 Panzer Divisions of King Tigers that run 50kph and never break, 7 German carriers and the ME-262 as the standard fighter in 1939, Oh and just for kicks all the Russians are already dead and we just discovered land bridges to England and the US.

Just a hundred? I would say invincible Germany should have more. Even before the massive superbly equipped German forces cross the Atlantic, what little defenses the US could mount would have been softened up if not pulverized with a rain of ballistic missiles from Germany.

It's not just the ideas I wrorry about, I just read one two page thread and counted no less than 7 sex references, and two of them resided in one member's signature, and one of them was gay!*


*Just to be PC, I have nothing against Gays.


EDIT-Help me! I've made three posts there in the space of an hour!

I'll tell you what Joe: You find one particularly egrigious military history thread over there you want thoroughly trashed and I'll sign up and stomp it into the ground. Would that make you happy?
