Good job with this Desmond. I like the POD. Will be following
Thanks!

Thanks for the map. Helps see things better. Just to check did you realise that while you have a pinkish tint for British occupied US territory on the mainland you have the occupied islands in red. Presume you don't mean that Britain/Canada is going to annexe them.![]()
Oops, that's a mistake
A bit surprised how many locations Britain has been raiding but the pressure is definitely beginning to bite on the NE region. Also that you remembered the importance of losing access to the Grand Banks for much of New England. Can see the basis for at least one civil war in the period after this conflict. Although sounds like it could be the frustrated north seceding.Looking forward to seeing more.

On reflection, I might have gotten a bit carried away with the spray-can tool. However, I think I have the RN hitting every major port in New England--Portland, Portsmouth, the Boston area, New Bedford, New London, and New Haven, which I think is justifiable. And in my mind "raided/bombarded" doesn't have to mean much more than the RN fired on the marked city from their ships once; the cities aren't under a sustained assault.
As I think about where I want to go with this, I'm thinking more and more that a lot of people in the North won't be very interested in saving the union ITTL. That will cause some bitter factionalism in the North itself, almost as bad as the bitterness between North and South. Add internal factionalism to the old North/South divide over slavery and state's rights and I think there's probably fuel for at least two civil wars.
