Although at the time I'm sure it couldn't be helped but having more than one road for logistics would be a good idea. Communications has already been mentioned. Can the 2nd SS Panzer Division be diverted to somewhere to the south instead of Holland?

It might scare Saddams forces into staying and fighting if they feel they could also be on the receiving end of bio/chemical weapons. It may also prompt more widespread surrenders. I think air cover would be stepped up more, maybe even halting ground movement until the weapon threat is gone...

Air support was limited IIRC, the RAf kept withdrawing air support for the raid. If a sortee was laucnhed then I don't think it would have made much impact considering accuracy at the time. If the explosives didn't go off then I think it may have given Germany a false sense of security about...

I can only think he would have had to have had no male heir for that to happen. At the time he was tolerated because he was old and would die soon. If he converted that may have attracted some hostility from France, who he was assumed to be in league with.

Perhaps a scuffle around the Bering Straits between Russia and US forces maybe due to a navigation error during an exercise?

Britain takes an L1a1 with full auto capability instead of the Sa80 program. Also possible alternatives: M16a2 HK33 Steyr AUG I have an old copy of Combat and Survival with an article about trails at the time. Also there was a time where the British Army were going to adopt the MAC10 in...

A pius king: "Your most magnificent manifestation of our Lord" A less pius king: "His most potent and fertile Magesty".

Also in The World is Not Enough, the concept of machinegun/flamethrower bagpipes, something that probably would've suited Connery better.

That is pretty badass.

A more military minded king could go for something like "King Commander" perhaps although it's a bit clumsy for a styling.

Post Restoration perhaps as a guess so perhaps Charles II or William III after he won the crown. I'm not sure if James II would be happy to let parliament appoint Bishops unless they were also Catholic like he was.

In WW2 terms: Assuming the Germans wanted to invade France then wouldn't there be an issue of getting around the Pyrenees? Another point would be that perhaps the operational range of subs might be limited due to no friendly spanish ports there to resupply them. Were any German forces...

I'd say that you're selling yourself short to say you're an infantryman. Aren't you Rock Apes also taught tracking skills and a few other tricks the regular infantry wouldn't know?

Thanks, I couldn't remember where. I only knew from reading an article about Patton's son.

His son became a mayor in a German town I believe.
