  1. A Shift in Priorities

    Is there still a substantial following of native religions? I would expect that they would not have completely been superseded by the other, foreign religions.
  2. A Shift in Priorities

    I wonder, now, how are the Eastern European Jews doing in Middle Africa? Any problems with integrating or are they being assimilated by the local population?

    I really do hope the same. It has bothered me to no end that Trotsky keeps surviving and I would not ming the other two going down as well. While he has changed his attitude on how socialism should be implemented, I do not think it absolves him from his past actions in TTL. I want him to get...

    I am a bit curious about the war between China and the Ottoman Empire. Did they not achieve a peace when Chiang was in house arrest? It seems that he voided it as soon as he got out, but did that not cause a certain amount of political turmoil? Also, in case China has another civil war(I find...

    I would think this to be rather likely. China has concentrated completely on the war with the Turks, by amassing forces on the front, building overly expensive railroads, etc. They even seem to have internal political turmoil which will most likely have a certain effect on how well the nation...

    I think that as time passes, the Turks, who are now at and advantageous position, will demand more. I am sure they have also understood that the Chinese Prime Minister is being unreasonable and will not accept fair offers. This provides them with a unique opportunity to demand more, yet blame...

    I do not think he, nor his men, have the training to use any tanks, let alone foreign tanks. At least, not to any degree which would allow them to sufficiently combat specifically trained tank crews. I am sure he knew that. On that note, I agree that he should have blown them up and I hope he...

    I believe the previous saboteur efforts were directed at stalling the rail line construction, not actual rail line destruction. Now, if the commandos manage to destroy multiple bridges, crater the track line or derail trains, they could stop supplies from making it to the Chinese forces at the...

    I am actually hoping the HSF does get a bloody nose from the upcoming engagement. Not enough to cripple the navy, but enough to make sure the Home Fleet and Churchillians control the coast of England. After that, it would be nice if a wider blockade of the island would prevent US troops from...

    Hmm, I remember the rebels having air superiority over Britain some posts past. If it is time to put everything in the fight to hold out, I would imagine that their bombers should be busy trying to level Hull, then. This might also mean that the German air force is over Britain, though I do not...

    Does this mean that the Churchillians have decided that collateral damage to towns and villages is no longer to be avoided?

    Germany really should do some coastal attacks. Perhaps in the form of using subs to torpedo moored ships on the east coast or mine the harbour entrances. Maybe use carrier launcher bombers to bomb a few naval bases on US soil, you know, to show the Americans that their home is not as safe as...
  13. A Shift in Priorities

    To me, it seems likely that the socialists and Germans will be capable of wrapping up the British Civil War before the US manages to deploy troops to England. This makes me wonder, though, if perhaps a few US troop transports might head over to Ireland, once it becomes clear that the...

    I have to admit that I did not see that coming. By the way, wont quite a few Brits be a bit on edge from receiving help from the Germans, having German troops on British soil and fighting Germans? I imagine that not all of the world war one feelings and propaganda has worn off. This would most...
  15. A Shift in Priorities

    I would think a combined submarine and airborne assault would be more thorough. It would also present the Americans with the bitter realisation of how capable their enemies are(if the raid succeeds). The submarines could mine the lanes to and from the naval base, while the land assault might...

    Well, the reason I suggested the north pole was that it might decrease the chance of detection as this would be a covert operation until the moment of the attack. Also, I presume that the army might want in on the action. I doubt they are willing to stand idly by while the navy and air force...

    On the note of launching a raid on Greenland, I wonder, what are the possibilities of using high altitude Zeppelins that would most like be out be unreachable by most, if not all aircraft. If possible, I would imagine something like a half a dozen or so Zeppelins looping through the north pole...
  18. A Shift in Priorities

    Nationalisation or at least re-purposing industry and requiring people to work for the common war effort is, of course, a vital part in total warfare, which the civil war in this TL almost is. I do not, on the other hand, believe that the socialist regime will be willing to relinquish the...
  19. A Shift in Priorities

    I wonder how long it will take before all the higher echelons of this semi-communist, semi-socialist society start following the rhetoric of "Everybody is equal, just some are more equal than others". That being said, I am also curious about when troops from the dominions will arrive. They...
  20. A Shift in Priorities

    Hmm, if the destruction of Britain is limited, I still do not think people are apt to forget that they fought each other. While certain wars have existed which can be considered "wars with out hate", class based civil wars never seem to be such. The rural folk and nobility most likely dislike...
