James Arryn Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Not Alaska and the Canadian West Coast, and probably Washington. The thing you quoted was largely about California and Oregon.No, that was all considered under the Alaskan G-G. Not only didn't they plan it, but according to Parshall/Tully, whom I believe you cited earlier, the thinking for Midway was that it would force the U.S. out of the war in the Pacific, thus protecting their SE Asia sphere.

Lord Reaver Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It just means Napoleon got further. Winter was coming. That line of thinking was outdated in 1940. This isn't Westeros. Winter came and went, the germans still were there. The mobilization numbers for Russia at the end of the war are largely irrelevant. What is relevant is that the red army was reeling from the huge losses both in soldiers and leadership. If the germans hadn't stalled due to overstretched supply lines, as a direct result of oil shortage, they wouldn't have had time to mobilize all those people.
