Whilst im sure less fuel per sortie is needed its balanced out by more food required, more cosumerbles like boots uniforms paper etc....more trains required to bring more troops to and from leave, As i understand it the German/axis supply lines where stretched to limit anyway so these extra...

Point 3 is the major bugbear with this timeline. As i have said before it just does not make sense with how it is written.

Lovely though the constant back and forth over radar, swordfish, deck parks, range etc etc etc is please take it to a thread that is about that and not this one about tank development. Please, please, please. I could post multiple entries asking you to stop till you are fed up with it as much...

Today because of this thread i have cried like a baby. Ladies and Gentlemen may i i troduce you to my Grandfather. We knew he went to the far east but he never spoke about the war . Thank you so much for posting this...it has gone through my family already...lots of incredulous comments ...

Been mentioned mate a few times and is my big gripe with an otherwise excellent and well thought out timeline. It looks like plot armour and handwaivium are at play to get the world to a fascist v anti fascist world war! But if you can get past it , its a good read overall.

What is the Czech reaction to all this...they are a confirmed democracy and i believe in the top 10 industrial countries in the 1930s ? They have an army perfectly capable of beating the small undertrained and underequipped German army of 1935 , especially the one you have stretched between...

When you say a couple of years earlier......when did Hitler come to power ? Because he has only been Chancellor and then President since 1933 ! If Germany went into crash rearmament from that day ..... what did they not do to send equipment and men to America ? Where are these troops...

Lets look at the situation over Austria and italy....none has been changed by the post on the French civil war so the following Italy has an agteement with Austria and honoured it by moving its army to the Austria border to help prevent anschluss. So if this is happening where is the Italian...

I totally agree with the above.....so much blood spilt, giving away Alsace-Lorraine ....... i doubt Weygand would get away with his life. The whole French civil war post just doesn't work for me, just seems contrived . Frech troops accepting German annexation and invasion !! Getting British...

We talking about aid from Germany and Italy for the Natcorps, but is this extra to what Spain got/is getting ? Which one is priority ? With less aid to Spain will the nationalists fail and the republic survive? Will perhaps the spectra of successful Soviet aid to Spain pull back the German...

Is it the Nottinghamshire Yeomanry...the Sherwood Rangers. Or The Nottinghamshire Yeomanry..the South Notts Hussars ? Im guessing its the former as the SNH converted to artillery in the early 1920s, however they could have converted back in the armoured expansion.

I think we actually need to think of what the axis losses are in this timeline....has improved British tanks hurt the Germans more when in Soviet hands ? Have the Germans drip fed these extra tanks into other panzer divisions so its just a few extra here and there ? If its extra whole divisions...

Why is China doing this ? What is the build up? Why is China wasting a single life on something its going to get back anyway ? What is the UK response to this action before the " invasion" ? All relevant and all need more explanation by the OP .

Can we not fill up the thread with pro or anti DUKE stuff, its not the place for this discussion.
