The atomic bomb for a very simple reason. In almost any context, when someone says the words, "the bomb", you know exactly what they mean. Nothing...
Frankly, thank god we "only used the bomb to scare the Russians. Quite a coinkidink that the European cycle of war every 40 or so years stopped,...
Wasn't sure where to post this, so I think I'll just put it down right here. I saw this question asked in a WWII magazine I subscribed to and...
I don't see why everyone hates "propaganda" movies. I have now an entire 11 hours of DVDs of just allied propaganda and I like it. I know, the...
Sorry to hijack this thread, but quick question: I had HOIDD and was Germany. I conquered france, Czechoslovakia, and most of Poland(didn't want...
This may be an irrelevant, stupid, useless post, but in Hearts of Iron II, I was playing as Poland with the Doomsday expansion pack. It was...
AHA! The day is mine. "Battlefield Interdiction Doctrine". Thanks for letting me hijack this thread.
Late in the game, around 1950, actually. And I'll check, but I don't think there's an air doctrine like that. So confusing.
Modded? Umm... No... does Doomsday have anything to do with being able to have airbornes as nat spain? And sorry, but the spec. forces doctine...
Hope I'm not budging in on the thread, but what's the doctine that lets you use airborne assaults? I'm Nationalist Spain and I'm having a little...
Sorta weird when you compare the size of the bomb to the size of the area it obliterated. A 10'x2' bomb killed 80,000 people. By the way, does...
I think it's the when more than the how. In the 1940's, both sides are already gearing up for another war, this time between capitalism and...
Ech. Why don't the Germans do what they actually managed to do well, jet engines? If they could get a working nuclear reactor/bomb by 1942, as...
I think it's a bit like a Germany invades Russia scenario. Great, we've got Moscow. Only 10,000,000,000 square miles left! Oh wait, we don't...
V-2? V-1? ME-262, maybe, but it did come out a few weeks earlier than the Meteor, and was developed about the same time. It was a race for it, not...
Thanks for the info! I personally thought they used the metal things with the ramps, but I guess not. I'll have to edit it to make it line up.
The Fall of Berlin: 1945, Beevor. Engrossing, with plenty of facts. Great read.
Sigh. I know I said "Assault Boat" in the paragraph, but I mean the German equivalent of the things on D-Day. Do you know it's name so I can use...
Yeah, I read about that in "The Fall of Berlin 1945", where the Ruskies chased them around the woods(not sure what unit) until the Germans finally...
As it is not heavily armed, I can't say it's anything close to even an DE, maybe... Liberty but I don't think you'd repeat. The best I can come up...
