An attack into Siberia in the late fall of 1941? So you mean to mount an offensive in the middle of winter? How well prepared do you imagine that...
Glad that things have come out for the better. I went through a very similar problem to yours, it's an awful situation to be in.
No, it's pretty much the same miscalculation, the whole US plan was for a quick campaign because the Japanese & Germans would be defeated quickly....
This is pretty much a red herring - most nation's plans early in WWII went right out the window when they actually began fighting. The US pre-war...
Well... Not so fast... One of the main Italian contributions was the ability of the Regia Marina to deny control of the Med to the Royal Navy,...
Perhaps not as as easily as one might think at first glance, they had a fairly strong army and the terrain is ideal for defence, mountainous -...
Locking up the world supply of Cuckoo clocks, Toblerone and Swiss Army knives would be a huge strategic advantage. (or not :D )

The Bismarck was also vulnerable to plunging fire from 15" shells, so could easily suffer the same fate as the Hood. The Bismarck's 2" - 4" deck...
Actually the British wasted an opportunity to use the two French Battleships, Courbet and Paris as convoy escort. Although old and slow, they were...
Why would the range of the Revenge class armed with 15" guns be much different than the Hood's 15" guns? The firepower of the R class (8 x 15"...

The Axis lack the ability to fly short-range fighters the ~800 miles from Cadiz to the Canaries, nor do they have the ability to fight their way...
