Absolutely. That the US still got in the war at an average time (war
with Ge/It on ND41, Ja declared war on JF42) astounds me. If the CW had
held off, could the US have got in earlier? Would the Japanese have
declared war on the CW? Who can say (other than Steve and Paul, of
course)?

I 100% agree with this post. I think that Italy (in particular, since it already has special surrender rules) shouldn't be permitted to be incompletely...

It's easy to complain about how ridiculous the Italian collapse rules are, but the Allies have the enormous advantage in WiF over real life of not having to...
I agree with your sentiments Chris but it does cut both ways and not just Sealion. One impediment to the German invasion of Russia was exactly logistics and...
The lack of German impediment, logistics-wise, in the USSR (the Russians ran on different-size track, for starters, among many of the other logistical problems...
I tend to view the "logistics" issues as pro German rather than pro one side or the other. Nations like Japan, US and the CWth - and to some degree the...
Without doubt - in my mind - the advantages lie OVERWHELMINGLY on the Allied side. It is by far more difficult to build up and sustain a logistical network...

Well... to me, Axis attacking Spain can be wifzen-ed that a pro-Allied coup took effect and Hitler went in. Not a stretch, considering that happened in...

Needn't be a Republican coup as you said, Hakon. I'm not trying to make a point about Spanish politics circa 1940-41 (I'm no expert) so much as saying that...
