In the end the result would be the same, but it would be far from a cakewalk. At this point the russians have put together a blend of German tactical doctrine and the old school Russian swarm concepts that simply put, worked. With few exceptions the Allies had no concept of the sort of tactics would be needed to combat a (admittedly only for the first week or two) well supplied combined arms force that was by and large intact to a degree we hadn't seen since late 44. Not to mention that (again, only for the first few week) we would be operating under skies that would be owned by noone at best, and downright hostile at first.
Of course, assuming we don't go nuclear, within a couple of weeks we would have their measure and be doing serious harm to the rear areas that would cause the front line units to wither on the vine. |
Just a clarification that is not something that I said. You miss quoted.
I think that the Russians would have the upper hand for the first part, the best we could do is slow them down till we got our bombers to take out their supply depots, factories and transport hubs. Which may give us time to build up with the German, British and other euro allies. Heck even the newly liberated and very nationalistic French. As far as going nuclear, Im still out on that. Perhaps they never quite get it right, or say the Russians, Germans, and heck some one else has developed the bomb and after using the first few they decide never to use them again and just resort to other super science developments and more conventional stuff.
This way if one wanted to you could have a little bit of the fantasy tech like mecha even.
go Steam Punk.
