I personally think that ComNat could follow logically from the Commonwealth as a descriptor for the institution as a whole. Or ImpCom might be acceptable to some as well.
I consider the Asia-Pacific war world war two, but ok
> war only happens in Asia
> world war two
Holy shit! This war is yuuuuge!
> war only happens in Asia
> world war two
To be fair, there was some stuff in Venezuela, and the actors came from around the world.
Maybe PDWs like the P90?How would Chinese small arms work out? I know they are heavy on the sciences and technology so I was thinking of something radical, like bullpup assault rifles and high tech gadgetry.
I reckon PDW's, high tech AP rounds, radical designs and soldier technology would be their forte, but it can only do so much with late 90's tech. I was thinking a more streamlined QBZ-95 or QBZ-03 produced by a company that is not Norinco.Maybe PDWs like the P90?
It looks likely, since their old weapons, in particular the popular Batts-Enfield will be starting to look a bit dated compared to the new American, German, Russian and Chinese designs. And the need for a powerful compact weapon that does not fire pistol rounds.Ah, the Five-seveN. Used to have one until some jaggov robbed my old apartment. Are they going to use a PDW to match ammo? Maybe an AR57 analogue?
Keep it up, Mac Gregor!
Excellent update, and I greatly appreciate the map to show the situation.
The Reformers could start making promises for independence/autonomy to the potential breakaway states, but that would risk losing legitimacy. Tricky situation.
Awesome update!
I'd love to see the total breakup of the IEF, perhaps dealt by the international community. Maybe right after the first nukes are dropped...
Are the Ukrainians planning on sticking with the reformers or rebelling to make their own country?
I'm pretty sure Alexander would be Alexander III, because Alexander II was succeeded by his first son Nicholas ITTL.
And Nicholas II was succeeded by Alexander III. Of course different guy as OTL Alexander III.
Oh right. Derp.
4) I used ComNat because it was a bit jarring to say BritCom when referring to the ammunition. ComNat sounds nice on the tongue and it is similar in vein to NATO being attached to ammo designations in OTL.

Perhaps the Royal Commonwealth?

[1] A fictional British alternative to the .50 BMG, it was created for the L86A1 in order to satisfy requests from the British Army for a more powerful HMG round that could replace the American machine guns in service at the time due to streamline parts production.
[2] Like its OTL counterpart with .50 BMG rounds, two boxes of .511 Commonwealth ammo could be attached to both sides of the belt feed system, allowing for an easy change in ammo rounds.
