OK now Curtis Lemay has an entire article in what was formerly a wiki page on something called "viking raids" but is now called "History of the Nordic Dead lands".
Kind of surprised Wake fell. As it was it probably could have held off the second invasion on its own if it's commander had held out slightly longer. Even a relatively small ressupply and a few more troops could have made it near easy. A platoon of light tanks, a dozen more fighters (even say...
Singapore express should contain the largest submarines in the allies fleet. The US V boats (especially the three huge Narwhal and assosciates) in particular. Not sure about the Brits. If American problems with torpedos are more rapidly forced to be dealt with then transferring more submarines...
For sufficient bribes to the Haitian government and offers of good wages (in American dollars) should allow setting up a recruiting station for the foreign legion that will be mobbed. All the long lingering hatred aside in Haiti at the time there's a fuckton of young men who would literally kill...
For the secondary front maybe they could scavenge up some old 3 or 6 pounder anti torpedo boat guns from old pre dreads and give them a wheeled carriage to give some cheap and ok quality light artillery to secondary troops. Maybe also scrounge up some old Pom Pom guns and other various light...
Assuming the Free Thais make a good enough showing I could see Thailand getting aid post war and benefiting economically from US basing eventually becoming an asian tiger like Singapore/Taiwan/South Korea are in OTL.
Especially if they can get their military under control and avoid having coups...
I kind of like the idea of Sarawak remaining independent as a semi protectorate of Britain under the last Brookes claimant. Allowing it to become a crown colony seems a mistake in hindsight.
Where are the Dunkerques? Had a random idea involving a small Free French fleet beong semt to support British efforts in the Pacific. With ot being centered pn both Dunkerques and maybe an upgraded old Dreadnought. Or one of their new partially finished fast battleships making ito Britain and...
I'v'e also been intrigued by say developing an air deployable version of the shells used for the 16 inch guns used for the Iowa battleships. Sort of like the IJN dropped modified BB rounds on the US battleline at Pearl Harbor. I'm thinking about say taking the supposedly "Best AP BB heavy shell...
Doesn't matter a whole lot. Even if say 30 or 40 percent of US nukes are duds all you do is create another waiting period while the US proceeds to build more warheads and delivery vehicles while the Soviet Union has pretty much been killed as a country and most of it's major cities are either...
No evidence for this and completely random but maybe their was some unofficial intention of using the B36s as magnets to absorb Soviet defensive attention (and potentially sucker the Soviets into sending disproportionate numbers of their best air defense assets against real or imagined B36s...
