  2. WI: Republic of China (Yunnan)

    I still like the Hainan idea for what it's worth. If you get to a point where Mao end's up feeling secure enough to undertake something similar to the boneheaded campaigns he spearheaded throughout the 50's and 60's it would be nice to see the KMT come rolling in from he south to put an end to...

  3. WI: Republic of China (Yunnan)

    KMT on Hainan would be interesting when (if) the Great Leap Forward occurs

  4. Could the Korean war have been stopped or postponed

    Short answer, yes. Long answer. I remember reading some excellent analysis of precisely what led to the decision to invade the South, but forget when and where I read it.

  5. DBWI: Chinese Intervene in Korean War

    I think UNFK would've gotten the better of the PLA. People forget that the 2nd ARU already had eyes most of the bridges across the Yalu before MacArthur got put back on his leash. I'm sure air and artillery strikes would've knocked 'em down. Which would've presented a sizable logistical...

  6. Request for Infromation

    Looking for a good comprehensive history of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Bonus points for titles which: Include substantial sections on Taiwan's Role Include info on how the Second Sino-Japanese War impacted the war in the Pacific Are cheap and/or freely availible online

  7. Land of Flatwater: Protect and Survive Middle America

    Ja, Chipperback nailed the whole fucking capital-R Ringknocker persona to a tee.

  8. Request for Infromation: Japanese Presense on Taiwan 1939-1945

    I have to write a paper on the role of Taiwan and China in World War Two. Sources on China are easy to find, but info about Japanese military facilities on Taiwan, and the ToE of the garrison, are proving extremely elusive.

  9. Challenge: Win the Korean conflict

    If only there were more hours in a day :(

  10. Challenge: Win the Korean conflict

    The Army isn't a person Snake, it's an institution. A lot of the failures of that institution in the early years of Vietnam are attributable to the deficiencies brought on by the Pentomic Era, which at its core was caused by the spread of the belief amongst senior policy makers that conventional...

  11. Challenge: Win the Korean conflict

    Umm... what? A successful Korea would mean avoiding the whole of the Pentomic Army. The Army would come out as a much more capable, focused, and intellectually mature force.

  12. When the Wind Blew: a P&S Open Thread

    I'm interested in this as well, with it's mining industry, energy deposits, access to freshwater, fertile soil, and heavy industry, P&S could be a real Buckeye wank

  13. All burning on the western front?

    Could White Phosphorous have seen wider or more effective use as an incendiary munition during the First World War? (Hell, when was it even first used, I haven't got a clue)

  14. If Rumsfeld isn't SecDef at the start of George W's first term

    Then who could've been?

  15. Reasonable World War I Books

    A Peace to End all Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East by David Fromkin is an excellent book if you're interested in the role of the Ottoman Empire during the war, and the various agreements, accords, declarations, double dealings and outright lies...

  16. WI: Brilliant Pebbles is deployed

    I'm thinking that if Saddam got his hands on some more capable launch systems, maybe an old Soviet IRBM, and fired it off at NATO bases in Italy or thereabouts with good effect on target, you could get pretty strong support for Brilliant Pebbles based GPALS.

  17. WI: Brilliant Pebbles is deployed

    Interesting, noob question, would the revamped X-33 see it's funding heading through the black budget or would it be publicly declared?

  18. WI: Brilliant Pebbles is deployed

    I'm starting to wonder what having a Brilliant Pebbles derived GPALS would do in regards to US policy toward the DPRK, and Iran. Would the protection make American policy makers less interested in resolving proliferation issue, or give them the confidence to take a more aggressive attitude...

  19. WI: Brilliant Pebbles is deployed

    What it says on the tin, what if Brilliant Pebbels in particular, maybe even SDI in general, survives long enough to be deployed operationally in the late 90's or early 2000's

  20. WI: Earlier Franco-Prussian War?

    I'll bite, how would Bismark convince Britain to join in?
