Have, by 1800, with any POD after 750, there be an official part of the British Army not necessarily named the'Royal Ninja', but the organisation should be very similar to historical ninja in training, equipment and role [espionage, assassination etc.].

Bonus points for having the organisation actually being referred to as the 'Royal Ninja'.
 
USSR more involved in Pacific war, Joint US/USSR occupation of Japan.

USSR demands exile of imperial family and other "counter-revolutionary" popultations.

Imperial family forms goverment in exile in England. Certain honorary guard units allowed, eventually seeing duty with host nation.

Royal Ninja of Britian eventual exploits in defending Empire used as propaganda to undermine Soviet North Japan.:)

Opps! Just noticed my POD is all wrong! Sorry.

Britain decides that japan would make a rather nice east asian colony?

That wouldn't mean they'd create a ninja-esque organisation as part of their army. Besides, for much of its history Japan is heavily isolationist, primarily as an attempt to avoid being invaded and colonised.

And? Why the heck would they care about Japan being isolationist? China was, and look what happened to it.

I've always wanted to see a scenario where Japan and Britain unite for some reason; that might do it. Especially if it happens under the Tokugawa Shogunate, when ninja were used plentiful.
 
Some ninjas are forced to leave Japan, and ater a lot of aventures, they reach the holy land and team up with king Richard the Lion Hart and are sent as a advance party, team up with Robin Hood and kick Prince Johns butt.

It would be a great movie featuring a surviving Bruce Lee as the main ninja, Arnold Swarzerneger as Prince John, Clint Eastwood as Robin Hood and Steve Buchemi as Prince John:D

I assume you mean a POD after 1750? With a POD in 750 AD, there would be no Britain as we know it.

No, I meant 750. I decided that would give people enough time to do what could be quite a hard challenge to do.

Perhaps the easiest way would be to have the Huscarls take a different form and become more Ninja-like; then have Harold win at Hastings and so Huscarls remain the core of the English army?
 
I believe that during the eightenth century, the British changed their way of recruiting civil servants, and decided to follow China's exemple. This is a huge cultural change...

I do not see why the British would shun the use of well-trained Ninjas in their armies if Japan had been colonized in the first place. Anyway, I am sure that some dead British officials formerely in post in Japan would remember them!
