Like Australia Canada has large areas that are almost uninhabitable, so it’s not that surprising really. I must admit if I was Canadian I would be a bit sick and tired of the seemingly interminable “what if Canada was part of the US” speculations. I guess New Zealanders feel the same way about...

I’ll get an update up tomorrow

This whole scenario is utterly ASB and reads like a weird Hearts of Iron scenario. Then again, so is what you have written. If a country is planning war against another, they are hardly going to repay loans are they? And once at war, no one is going to raise an eyebrow over the fact they defaulted.

It's just a constant bleeding sore of losses. THese second line destroyers were used OTL for troops transport and supply runs in 1943-44. What are they going to use now?

Yes but you also need administrators and at that time it was very easy to end up in a debtors prison.

Yes the biggest stations at up to almost ten thousand square miles is larger than Israel or the size of Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island combined.

An aristocratic prison for the well to do but penniless

With five cruisers and three destroyers against a single cruiser and four destroyers this is likely however at night who knows.

At least 14 aircraft, 3 transports and two destroyers. This is getting horribly expensive and it's likely not over yet. If the allies can get off another strike, even early the next day, the convoy defences with so many fighters downed will likely be very weak. Of course, the allies have taken...

I see we have another 51 pages of stuff that all been discussed a million times before and arrived at the same conclusion we always arrive at. There is something comforting about the predictability of Sealion threads.

Except the conflicts are to an extent interconnected and the possibility of British involvement is then higher. Especially with Churchill, who was a committed imperialist, in charge.

Probably because they were fighting a Communist insurgency themselves in Malaya.

For an operation that never happened Sealion has certainly caused a few casualties here over the years.

No, not nonsense. The offer was initially made and then withdrawn, not by HM Government but by George V himself. It's a matter of historical record.

The later if history is any sort of teacher.
