I guess it would be to cut supply and reinforcements until the main force is able to defeat the defenders, like what they did OTL

OTL Japan forces often bypassed British defensive position via amphibious landing on their rear, I wonder if they could do the same to bypass the Kra isthmus if it found it blocked ?

In the short run maybe the could hold it, but not in the long run. You risk having a "Texas" situation with Canadian and American prospectors flooding Alaska and turning to their mother country the moment a Liechtensteiner official try to apply some rules.

If it doesn't happen close enough, there could be some blind US officials that accuse the British actions of ''provoking'' Japan into doing PH (even if an operation like that have to be premeditated)

Too much of a risk anyway, if the Japanese secure the Thai government via a putsh, the whole Bulring operation become much more uncertain. So no matter if the fleet goes to Bangkok of the Kra isthmus, the British have to act before Japanese/Thai troops are ready.

If we ignore the massive improbability (not impossibility) of this chain of event (that would require Racist in Chief Woodrow Wilson be left far away from any treaty, IMHO), it would be in a very uncomfortable position after the war. It's surrounded by ennemy/hostile/rival nations, some (Romania...

They seemed to jump with their personal weapon, although their is mention of parachute containers for the heavier weapons

Was the oil shock of 73 the best moment to start the transition away from fossils energy ? What if the shock lasted longer or more radical plans to end or limit oil dependency were implemented, would we be in a better place to fight climate change ?

It's the closest map I found about global megaregion, I admit it seem very sparse but if you could find a better one it could be nice to share, or maybe a collection of regional megametropolis maps

Against the majority of Japanese tanks an 75mm HEAT is overkill. A regular HE 75mm shell should destroy most deployed Japanese tanks on a direct hit.

I guess it would depend if they let American ships coal at the Philippines and American merchants use it as a springboard to trade with China. Since it was the main goal of the American for the Philippines. If Japan allow some form of free trade and coaling, I could see the American government...

Very interesting, will follow with great attention! I guess that ITTL Furstner keep his original idea of using light cruisers to bait the ennemy fleet into a submarine embush ?

Would depend on their location and sponsor/ally Pretty sure that some Caribbean island could have been settled by Jewish European, building up a ''traditional'' slave-driven sugar economy. Now, depending on the conflicts, they could have been either defended, left alone or invaded and put under...
