RIAF: Glads v Nates

Indian Fighter pilots recount their combat encounters in air over Burma/Malaya against the Ki-27 Nates.

This in a T/L where the Indian Air Force is expanded earlier, but (perhaps like the South Africans) had 'second-line' aircraft i.e. Gladiators.

Good one. Would like to see a better and bigger Indian air force in WW2.

Wimpys War at Sea

Vol I: RAF sinks the 'Twins'.

In a T/L where Coastal Command aircraft spots the Twins, on the 7th June. The Ark Royal & Glorious are warned (in OTL the Glorious parted company with the Ark in very early hours of the 8th) - they attack with Swordfish, and gain some hits. Even FAA Dive-Bombers from the Shetlands - make an attack -damaging the upper works.
But the coup de grace was done by an experimental Torpedo group of Wellington 1cs (18) and the new Bristol Buckfast (6) (P.13/36) carrying a mixture of 1 x 21", and 2 x 18" torpedos.

To follow later, Vol II relates the the Wimpys success in the Med., before being replaced by the newer faster Buckfast.

Vol III relates to the Wimpys torpedo success against the Japanese, since leaving the Med. transfered to Malaya in late 1941 - a big improvement on the Vildebeeste!

The book gives an overall description of the second world war, ranging from the German invasion of Poland, to the German-British armistice and collapse of the Soviet Union. Right through until the final phase of the War with the American-Canadian forces invasion of Africa, the Middle east and the Final assault on Fortress Europe and the British isles.

Okay here's a couple of mine. Apologies for the so-so quality, never really been all that skilled at image stuff and they're just 5 minute jobs really.

British Submarines 1939-1945. Bit of a subtle one as it's not so
obvious what the major change is.

Hawker Cyclone Fighter-Bomber Units Over Korea. What might
of happened if the Hawker P.1081 had been fully developed and
sees service in Korea, picked Cyclone as a name to continue the
Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest line.

Ultra Secret Magical Wunderwaffen of the Third Reich. Can't take
credit for this one, that goes to someone else on the board or
over at the Counter-Factual forums but I can't find the thread I
saved it from. Seemed rather fitting though. :)

Is that "Californian" as in "California-class", or as in an independent California gets into a war with the Empire of Japan? The second one sounds really interesting...

The Empire of California versus the Empire of Japan in the 1920s. I incorporate Hector Bywater's Great Pacific War by treating it as a factual text. Californian and US naval forces engage the Japanese in a giant naval battle near Yap before pushing on to liberate Japanese occupied Philippines.

Regiments of the Californian Imperial Army are sent to the Chinese front to aid the Republic of China against the Empire of China, which is an ally of Japan.

So, I take it that, despite placement in After 1900, there is no requirement that stuff posted in this thread not be ASB or refer to PODs from before 1900?

So, for those of us interested in contributing but unfamiliar with Osprey, anyone care to give a basic rundown of how it operates? Like, what do the various headings ("Elite", "Men-At-Arms", "Vanguard", "New Vanguard", etc.) represent?
