The Union Forever: A TL

I am rooting for Japan and India.

They're a bunch of *fascists! :eek:

Me too, to an extent.

I understand that they're *fascist, but the British have been the cause of a lot of problems in Asia, and the memories of the Indian War of Independence are probably still very present in the minds of Indians.

Not to mention that there would still naturally be a large number of people in Bengal and Assam, and probably in the South as well that favour union with India- probably not this India, but India in general. Not to mention that Hyderabad has a lot of problems on its own with authoritarianism.

I do think that India can't sustain fascism or a dictator, anyways, its simply too large.... so even if Harshad wins, it will probably lead to his downfall.

Interesting opinions. We will have to see how things go.
 
What's the refugee situation like on Indonesian Papua due to the war? Is it just a trickle or ore there camps along the border with both the belligerents?


Does France have any possessions in the pacific?


Good update. Can't wait to get a map ;)

There are several refugee camps on the Indonesian side of the border holding about 88,000 people and rising. Many women and children have also been evacuated to the Australian mainland. A large number of Papuan males have been enrolled into either the Australian military or various militia units.

France has no possessions in the Pacific.

I will try to post a map soon.

Cheers!

I demand Jefferson-class aircraft carriers. Naming the main tool of naval projection after the guy who tried to shut down the US Navy would be perfect.:D

I always thought it would be cool if modern machine guns retained the name "Puckle Guns."
 
The Caproni-Renault Sagittario I

roughly based on this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Balzac_V
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_IIIV

The principal naval fighter of the Marine National and Marina Militare, equip the air component of Risorgimento class aircraft carrier (Italy) and Paris class (France).
There is a land based version and the aircraft had some export success, due to the sturdiness and the capacity of operate in very narrow/short strip of land.


Ansaldo MBT 'Leone' mk.1 and related family of vehicles

based on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OF-40

Initially a simple export oriented project for an economic MBT, it become a great success and as even been bought by the Esercito Italiano in various version



Reggiane Re-90 'cicogna'

based on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aermacchi_MB-326

An ageing but still functional vehicle, had been exported in various part of the world due to his resistance and simplicity and possibility of continous upgrade.
There is a groud-attack version.
 
I'd like to see something on how small-arms have evolved, with attention to Commonwealth and Japanese developments given how they're two of the three main actors currently (especially since there's been a quick teaser about Japanese rifles up-thread).

By the same token, Adams-class would work for non-irony. ;)

Maybe Falcon or Vampire aircraft.

Tigers for Indian cats (OTL tanks)

The Canadian 'Beaver Assault Lander' meant for landing troops on islands and getting them into the fray :D

Some sort of attack submarine class called Orca or equivalent, but as my user title indicates I am a bit biased

Great suggestions y'all! I will try and incorporate these into future updates.
 
Besides Hawaii, what do the US have in the Pacific? Can't wait for the map :)

IIRC, the FSM and Marshall Islands along with Guam and the Northern Marianas, as well as Samoa and French Polynesia.

Yep, metastatis_d pretty much summed it up. Excluding Hawaii, The Pacific possessions are currently divided between the territories of Pacifica and Micronesia. Needless to say they are very concerned about war.
