Well then very nice. Now I must read the update above this post.

The Trench-Siege of Piura! Cat-named cataphracts! The 31st. Airborne kicking ass even when lost! USS MANIFEST DESTINY!!! This update kicks major ass, MacGregor, I couldn't ask for much more in terms of a summary of military action ITTL
-If the tanks listed are the same as my suggestions, something tells me the Peruvians/Bolivians never really stood a chance in an armor-on-armor clash, let alone when just attacking trench lines.
-With the stalemate of Operation Karma, might we see more research into ground-attack aircraft? Idk if there would be any use of dive bombers, but I'd imagine so given the lack of strategic aircraft for level attacks...perhaps light gunships a la the A-26?
-Now that we've seen the effectiveness of aircraft carriers ITTL, we may see them becoming more and more vital to US (and other nations') strategy; if not as Queen of the Seas, but more as mobile airfields for striking deep into enemy territory (like how supercarriers have been used the last two wars; slinging iron over the enemy's dirt and not sinking shipping).
-OOC: Interesting use of the Port Said landings for Operation Carrera

great update McGregor, nice to see my country fighting back (with a little help)
Cuestion : the first Atacama War, as you call it, (we say the Pacific War) was just like OTL, because was after the POD?,
a comment, the nominal capital of Bolivia is Sucre, but the seat of the goverment is the city of La Paz.
i am a fan of this TL since it's beggining an is wonderful TL happening in my country

How about this for Abasaroka?
Interesting, where did it come from?
It was a failed separate state movement based in Wyoming/Montana/South Dakota.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absaroka_(state)
No idea what the 49 stands for, but in a nod you should use the basic flag design. Maybe replace it with "88" to denote the year of statehood? Or in its place put a native American symbol of some sort in the area? Maybe a geographical feature (is Yellowstone in Absaroka ITTL?)
I think it is safe to assume for being the 49th state, this movement's flag dating prior to statehood for Hawaii and Alaska, or the 49th continental state...
That could have been it; the movement was in 1939 so would've been the 49th state. Makes sense.

Good question. ITTL the first Atacama War is basically the equivalent to OTL's War of the Pacific.
As for the capital of Bolivia when did teh administrative functions move from Sucre to La Paz?
Thanks for your support
Wikipedia article on Sucre said:
Looks like Sucre was made de jure capital before the POD, but the change was after.
Well, it seems too creative, actually; most state flags in the West were just the state seal on a blue background. Of course, since the admission is less rushed ITTL, we might see the vexillographers of the West being more creative.
Request for State Flags
Hey everyone, here is the list of U.S. state and terriotories that we do not have flags for in the TL. Please post your suggestions. Please note that due to the way the Civil War is percieved in the South ITTL there should be no overt Confederate imagery on any state flags. Cheers!

U.S. Territories
1. Panama (includes Nicaraguan Canal Zone)
2. American Polynesia( includes all of Samoa and OTL French Polynesia)

It ALWAYS comes in handy when you have a few self-made, alternate US state flags lying around on your dA account
Note that I mostly went for realistic designs (with the good ones sometimes popping up), so there is a bit of seal on flags-stuff here. Also there may be a few convergences, but maybe they can still be of use.

Guadeloupe and Martinique flag from post 1297
I don't remember if you ever made a final call on black or blue backgrounds for the Guadeloupe part.

The flag of Panama could conceivably be derived from one of the old Colombian flags...

That reminds me of another flag I made. Would be perfect for Panama now that I think about it...

I like this flag alot but my only problem is that the Guadeloupe part is from way past the POD. Y'all's thoughts?
