Thanx to everyone who's enjoyed the ride, but I've lost interest in Orange Tempest, at least for the time being. I might reboot it in the future; I might not. Sorry to disappoint. 😥
Actually, there's a good chance that the US might simply hand it over to Chiang Kai-Shek; the possibility was seriously discussed IOTL, and, given that ITTL the Chinese army has actually liberated the vast majority of its own territory (as opposed to OTL, where most of said territory was still...
How, exactly, are the North Koreans managing to break through with anything less than 10:1 numerical superiority? Given that the SKs have both the advantage of the defence and also massive technological superiority, it is simply implausible for the NKs to be breaking through with anything less...
Not a chance - if any Japanese nation-state is ever reestablished outside Hokkaido, it will be a republic(s), given both that the level of hatred toward Japan on the part of the US and co. is far greater ITTL than at any point IOTL, and also that, at the current rate things are going ITTL, the...
The USA claims that it doesn't have any chemical or biological weapons left. I'd be inclined to believe them WRT bioweapons (the damn things are just as dangerous to the user as they are to the enemy), but I'd say it's all but certain that they still have some chemicals squirrelled away...
Wouldn't taking out just the turbinehouses still be enough to cause major flooding? (Because even if you don't break the dam itself, you've still suddenly created a big passage for water to bypass the dam unimpeded...)
Oh, and great TL! Subscribed!:D
If a higher mains voltage (say 360 VAC) had been adopted early on, wouldn't the electric codes view that as the voltage that it's unsafe to go higher than, rather than OTL's choice of 240 VAC as a limit?
Presumably any countries using 60 VAC or 30 VAC would still use high voltages for...
IOTL, there are two voltages used for mains electricity around the world; most countries use 240 VAC, while the US and a few others use 120 VAC. Likewise with frequencies: most countries use 50 Hz, while the US and a few others use 60 Hz.
But there's nothing, in principle, keeping countries...
