One more off the top of my head: What if the French had sniffed out the Germans' plan to attack through the Ardennes and rushed in troops to defend the roads and passes. The backed-up German armor would have made great targets for the Allied aircraft. War over, or would the General Staff have a Plan B?
Although it would have led to a huge change in the course of the war, with the German army tied up in the west for an extended period, I don't think this would have led to a quick end to the war. Mostly, I don't believe the Allied air would have been able to hurt the German panzers much - the Germans had air dominance anyway and the Allied tacair never roved extremely dangerous for quite awhile - the planes just weren't capable enough to heavily hit ground targets, from everything I have read.

I think in this case the Germans would have shifted to another point and tried again, and there would have been an extended campaign in France.
