Re: Alternative history - what if the UK/empire were neutral in WW2?

Could the war have all but wrapped up by ...

He was early, surely?


You can start as soon as the kicker begins his run up. I think that should include all the twitches etc. When Dan Biggar kicks you’d have time to have a quick coffee before walking over and picking the ball up while he’s doing the Macarena.

Wouldn't recommend any part of Asia bar Singapore until world politics settles down a bit. Russian is the only Superpower with a sane leader at this stage and The SCS is the next battlefield.
