War Plan Red and Defense Scheme #1.

A timeline/story about a war between the British Empire and Japan (maybe the British dragged in to a war because of the Anglo-Japanese alliance) would be interesting IMO.

I think you mean US v UK & Japan. But yes, it would be cool. Although DS1 doesn't fill me with hope at Canada's prospects; success would have half the board screaming ASB.

Doh. :eek:

Maybe if the Canadians had airships that would help?;)

More seriously, the 'scheme' does seem a bit hair-brained, although War Plan Red is no work of genius either: IMO it was like the Japanese plan in WW2: "win a quick victory and then hang on until the enemy gives up" which begs the question, 'what if the quick victory is elusive or the enemy don't give up?'

I'd say DS1 is actually pretty reasonable under the circumstances: it has something of an Isaac Brock air to it. Which is not to say it had a particularly large chance of success, just that it's a well planned act of desperation.

I actually wrote a brief TL on that scenario where America became a dictatorship. It was blasted to pieces :D

Actually, that goes both ways. If the USA wins, the Britwankers will scream Ameriwank, and if the Empire wins, the Ameriwankers will scream Britwank:rolleyes:
