Sorry missed this earlier. Managed to overlook the 4th page. :oops: Hitler was a raging megalomaniac so no one was safe. Plus as you say even if Britain managed to survive him his successor could think differently. A Polish-Czech alliance, which might have been joined by others could...

That would be interesting, although as a Brit I have a feeling I won't like it much. Would it be a sudden change as getting an East Asian population and culture based in Europe without an ISOT would be quite a challenge I suspect.

That would depend on the circumstances. If Japan is based in Europe would it still be busy invading China? [If it was its probably screwed now with the vastly greater supply lines that would be involved]. Even if it was would that greatly change the US stance at this stage. The fall of...

That would definitely give a good opportunity, although possibly even more so if switching Japan for Spain as that would give clear access to the Atlantic. As you say that would need ASB intervention and ignoring a lot of effects and also assume that Japan and Germany are still friendly here...

I would agree with Blackdragon98, Hitler wouldn't have allowed any rival power, even if he was trying to persuade himself that a lasting alliance or peace would be viable. Britain's interest has long recognised that a single large nation dominating the continent was incompatible with British...

Once Hitler gained power, unless he was knocked out quickly there was always going to be war. If that had happened the empire was still going to go. Simple social and political change. If there had been no war then the loss of empire would have been a bit later and there is the danger it...

The empire was going to go anyway and much of it was an economic burden. A single state dominating, let alone ruling virtually all the continent was something Britain had to avoid. Even if it wasn't lead by a regime as bat-s**t insane as the Nazis. Britain could have done distinctly better in...

Right I will try again to explain those points to you. A) The RAF plan if forced to abandon the south would be to regroup out of range of enemy fighters until the invasion came. True the latter might be relatively quickly after the former but then they either have force operating from the...

So those centres in the south of the country can still be subjected to attack, which can be countered by a/c operating from beyond the range of German fighters. That could be costly for the LW bombers. Actually there was very little targeted bombing in 1943 and it was only really in early 44...

In answer to point 1 your agreeing your talking only about a tactical victory over the RAF in the south, which might influence the Nazi position to a degree. You said earlier "allowing combat to start by June 16th, " so definitely talking about attacking Britain before the fighting in France...

That's a possibility although since Mosley - who was a Labour supporter at the POD time so it could be a different character as the leader of British fascism here- and I think most other fascists thought of Britain as a great power. As such their less likely to support its occupation and defeat...

Actually what your saying is that: a) The loss of several divisions of troops, a good chunk of what's left of the KM and a large number of very important barges would be worth further heavy losses for both the RAF FC and the LW and some losses to the RN. The latter has a decent air defence for...

By Battle of Britain your referring to the air combat in the south of England here? Rather than air combat further north, which would have been impossible for the Germans, or a successful invasion, which would still have been a very, very low probability for a success.

As well as the comment about aluminium made above the problem with drop tanks is that, unless your prepared to accept a real disadvantage in combat, they have to be dropped when enemy fighter turn up. Which given Britain's radar and C&C system is going to be pretty damned near the coast. The...

Is it now. That seems a bit harsh. Been a decade or so since I was on there regularly and it used to be a point of fun when a newbie started such a thread. "Heritic, burn him at the stake" etc, but generally in good humour and with an explanation as to why such a thread was getting such a...

In June 1940 Britain is replaced by its 1900 version? That should make it possible, perhaps even likely.;) In terms of a non ASB one then you need possibly some political collapse in Britain or some very drastic changes in Germany and/or Britain several years pre-war.
