Massive reforms and clampdowns on corruption.

The French king is accidentally killed at the battle of Fornovo when fighting off the Italians about to capture him.

Thats a cracking update, love the pennants.

If the Bourne franchise goes ahead you might see Bond remade as a more "British" flavoured response to that which would be amusing. Benedict Cumberbatch as 007 in say 2010?

You magnificent bastard.

Don't sell yourself short mate.

I look forward to reading Doctor Who ISOT to Margery Tyrell fan fiction. Great stuff Heavy, a real love and knowledge of TV and Sci-fi culture shines through this TL.

Boudicca has always felt like very romantically Victorian to me, inspired by the Celtic resurgence and Queen Victoria herself. Not sure how much would be known about her in this tl.

Conflicted about Postlethwaite... on the one hand the guy was amazing, on the other hand what will we do without him playing Sgt Hakeswill? Very good TL anyway @Heavy loving it so far.

I'd imagine its impractical as well "got my knife out to poke at this thing on the ground... oh bugger now I need to cut myself" "got my knife out to clean it and make sure its not rusting... best cut myself after"

They should be fine, its a choice between believing them and leaving them alone or further stoking resistance by hauling half the country over the coals. At the moment Germany has its hands full, it really doesn't need to prod the Danes more than they are willing to go.

Sneaky Danes.

He'd love to get his grubby mitts on some scientists.

I frequently just wish I was on holiday on election day.

Singapore, Burma and Malaya need extensive reorganisation to be defensive, there were big fights between the Indian high command and local commanders as to what to do and the entire area was just under resourced as hell.

A high command willing to listen to Hobart and learn the lessons from WW1 would be good. Less of a "Cavalry charge" club. That needs to occur by the mid-30's though. http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v18/v18n1p-2_constable.html

The effects of having a "King of the Irish" title in existence would have been interesting in terms of legitimacy and adding it to the British crown. Not sure it can hold out from English conquest forever due to the population differences, it might also be useful to the French or Scottish.

Infantry can't really do blitzkrieg or punching holes very well, they are just not fast enough to outpace the defenders ability to consolidate and punch back with machine guns or rifles. Its why WW1 bogged down so much.
