cool, I am studdying the air circuses, and the flying tigers and preping for ending my story at the beginning months of the american military involvement...
PS I got some idea's for propaganda films for the new timeline.

Yes you get to move the story ahead, and flesh out details of what happens beyond 31 June 1940Lonestar wrote:Does this mean I get more "Play time" with the Caribbean Beat?

Yosimite Bear told me a funny thing the other day. "The fighting in Axis and Allies was more realistic than in the Draka books" Course Bear you can correct me on that one

Recalculated Drakan Armoured OOB
Tanks
Hond IIC
(Older model given Armored Skirts to protect from RPGs and given
HEAT rounds and sent in combat to counter KS-1s)
90mm K1936 Main Gun
40 tons combat weight
36 km/h top speed
Armor:
80mm Effective Hull Front (60mm Base +10mm Applique +20mm Applique)
50mm Effective Hull Sides (40mm Base +10mm Applique)
100mm Effective Turret Front (80mm Base +10mm Applique +20mm Applique)
50mm Effective Turret Sides (40mm Base +10mm Applique)
Hond III
(The Hond III with Armored Skirts appears 3 months into the war)
100mm K1939 Main Gun
60 tons combat weight
48 km/h top speed
Armor:
100mm Effective Hull Front (130mm actual thickness)
80mm Effective Hull Sides
120mm Effective Turret Front (150mm actual thickness)
80mm Effective Turret Sides
Note: Based on data given to me by the Duchess of Zeon, the Draka can
only manufacture 85mm thick armour plates before serious manufacturing flaws set
in and the armour becomes incredibly brittle and loses some of it's strength. Also,
she gave me the statistics on how much true armor protection laminated (layers) of
armor provide (roughly 20% less than total thickness)

I'll further add that the problem is based entirely on real life ones suffered by the Japanese, and is the result of discussions on how fast the Draka could develop a sophisticated research and production programme for advanced metals sciences. This is totally different from their production rates of simple things like pig iron, which are vast.

Great stuff. Keep it up!
So the Reich is better off in this timeline, and isn't run by a madman.
And they might even get into this war at some point? I'd like to see why...
The Rhino is an Me-110? I kinda had that impression, but I wasn't sure.
Still don't recongize the Eagle tho.
The Falcon looked like an Me-109.

All that, for just two KS-2s lost
