The Union Forever: A TL

Britian would still have Balochistan, Sindh, and Kashmir and Jumma.

Sounds good. I didn't mean Baluchistan and the area up to the Indus all the way down to the coast; just those areas.

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!

As much as I hate to see the TL go for now, I'd like to thank you for your service. You are a true inspiration to us all. God speed Mac.

I stopped following this after the Great War ended, and WOW! It returns in its fullest glory.

Everything looks good so far (still on page 56). Thanks for the hard work.

P.S. Mac, might I ask which branch of the armed forces you are serving in?

Good luck, buddy, and thank you for your service! It's been great reading and helping you develop the details.

I did not know you were in the military; I just got out last July myself. For how many months are you being deployed?
Keep your head down; that place is rough.

Good luck Mac! Although personally I don't agree with that war, it's still good to see that there are people willing to bleed and die for their country.

Stay safe Mac, and thank you for your service. May you come home swiftly and safely into the welcoming arms of your loved ones.

Good luck out there Mac, and thank you for your service!

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!

1. Thank you

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

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

1948 Presidential Election



Conner/Vanderbilt (R) - 51% PV - 433 EV
Kirkman/Broussard (D) - 46% PV - 106 EV
Hinnant/Gladson (AC) - 3% PV - 36 EV
287 EV Needed to win (573 Total)

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!
