The Union Forever: A TL

Hey Everyone,
Sadly my involvement in this timeline will be heavily curtailed over the next two months as I prepare to deploy to Afghanistan in June. I would like to thank everyone for all the support and help. I will try to post when I can and hopefully will be able to make some posts if I have internet access overseas. Worst case scenario I will resume this TL when I return. I think that 1950 is a good place to pause, and I would like to take this hiatus as an opportunity to refine the current material. If anyone would care to continue to make the electoral maps, world maps, and U.S. State and foreign nation flags that would be great. Thanks for all the help. Cheers!

Stay safe Mac, and thank you for your service. May you come home swiftly and safely into the welcoming arms of your loved ones.
 
This is a great Timeline, and the reason I joined this AlternateHistory.com. :)

Hope to see a new update soon.

1st, welcome to the board.

2nd, Mac is either about to be going or already in Afghanistan, so soon updates are unlikely. :(

3rd, GAH! I thought he had updated before heading out when I saw the thread had a new post! :mad::p

1. Thank you

2. I think Mac Gregor hasn't left yet due to this post, but things might have changed.

It got pushed back till mid August. I have actually still been messing around with some material for The Union Forever. Hopefully I will be posting something in the not to distant future.

3. I thought the same thing when I saw your post :p
 
Oh yeah, I forgot I had asked him that. :eek:

I forget stuff all the time, and you asked that a few weeks ago, I don't blame you.

On this topic, here is an electoral map, though I haven't seemed to be able to get Pasapa and Dakota correct

Kirkman/Broussard (D) - 46% PV - 106 EV

Pearsonwright thanks for the compliment and welcome to the board! As mentioned I will be leaving for Afghanistan in a few weeks but your kind comment and that fine looking electoral map (there is no WV ITTL though) has persuaded me to release a new update in the next few days. Cheers!

You haven't left yet? :confused:

Well, when you do, I wish you the best of luck.

I removed WV, and adjusted the EV's.

Here is 1944

Even short trips like that can put serious dough in your pockets: I found that out to my surprise when I went on an Individual Augmentee deployment (in case anybody's wondering, US Navy).

Again, stay safe MacGregor and thanks for the soon-to-come update :)
 
I hear that. I made a shitload of money when I deployed to Iraq for 15 months from 2008 - 2009.

I suppose that's one of the advantages of military life - you earn money, but you get free food, home and healthcare, and so you're not exactly in a position to spend much of it.
