  1. Operation Compass succeeds

    Thanks for the feedback on this, and this just sounds like its the right way to go. Very well... The I, II and III Divisions :D:D:D Pretty similar to what I had in mind, though I also factored in his growing contempt for Admiral Darlan and the Vichy Regime as well as opportunist British agents...
  2. Operation Compass succeeds

    I don't think they'll have the manpower on their own to pull off anything like they did with British support in OTL, so the Greeks will most likely go on the defensive along the Pindus Mountains and the River Aoos in the West and keep the bulk of their forces ready to meet the Germans. When it...
  3. Modern English without Norman French influence

    I'd imagine that accents would generally sound a little harsher, probably more akin to a Yorkshire or Geordie accent, and there would probably be more general similarities to the scandinavian languages. With any luck people would still use Æs, ðs and a few øs for good measure. I'd be quite...
  4. Operation Compass succeeds

    Yep, but the British will worry about having an exposed flank in North Africa whilst the are campaigning in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Imperial General Staff (who have more descretion to prosecute the war their way in this TL) will be quite aware of the mayhem that the Italians and Germans...
  5. Operation Compass succeeds

    I already got called to account on the first point, you know ;) In answer to the second point, yes there will be a Free Greek force in this TL that will initially be based on Crete. In OTL I think over 50'000 allied troops got evacuated from the mainland, but the Royal Navy is somewhat occupied...
  6. World War Z map

    My bad...I'm jumping ahead here :rolleyes:
  7. World War Z map

    I think you might need to redo Britain: ins't there a bit with a French tunnel fighter where hes complaining that when the British retook London they had planned out their tactics and strategy carefully?
  8. Operation Compass succeeds

    The problem here is that we are reaching the launch of Operation Barbarossa, and this will be the immediate concern for Hitler. Another delay might mean the invasion can't be launched this year and thats more time for the soviets to build up their forces and slow down the Heers progress...
  9. Operation Compass succeeds

    Alphonse Pierre Juin is going to simplify matters for the British immensely , or at least thats where I'm thinking of heading next. A true display of British deviousness is needed :D
  10. Operation Compass succeeds

    Firstly thank you ;) Secondly I'd like people to point out the flaws in this TL. Like I said earlier, if someone points out I've made a mistake and I know it needs fixing, I can alter it before I do the final version. I thought the 132nd and the Ariete Division were the same division :)...
  11. Operation Compass succeeds

    There will be fighting in Tunisia and Algiers, as the British XIII and XI Corps are not realistically going be welcomed with open arms. The matter will be settled however, by Alphonse Pierre Juin and the decisions he makes throughout June.
  12. Operation Compass succeeds

    It might have helped if I'd actually used that page then :rolleyes:
  13. Operation Compass succeeds

    Probably because I haven't had a chance to study the Greco-Italian war or the battle for Greece in any depth yet and had to use wiki to give answers to the previous poster. I was in all honesty firing from the hip :D Interesting point, and this would keep a number of German Divisions...
  14. Operation Compass succeeds

    I'll try and answer those in order as best as I can: The Italian invasion has gone quite differently to OTL. The Italians have been consistently gaining ground and pushing south, but lack of preperations and an inability to attain any surprise has resulted in incredably heavy casualties. RAF...
  15. Operation Compass succeeds

    Thanks for that :D
  16. Operation Compass succeeds

    Definately not a position that Hitler is going to appreciate his Italian allies plunging him into :D Firstly, yes I do plan on continuing this TL right up to the the present. The overall strategic picture certainly has changed with the British taking Libya. The Vichy French in Tunisia and...
  17. The Golden Age of Norðhymbralond
