Beautiful work on the Invincibles, sir. Question on all the WW2 ships, though... why 25mm for light anti-aircraft armament? Wasn't 20mm Oerlikon pretty much the standard weapon of that class at the time?

A snapshot of the Texas Army in December 1941: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88793161/Republic%20of%20Texas%20Army/Texas%20Army%201941.png Total Regular Army personnel strength is 26,361, still well below the 30,000 authorized in 1940. Recruiting is slow those years. Most, if not all the unit...

Before World War II starts for Texas (we'll officially declare war on December 9th, two days after recalling Congress following the Pearl Harbor attack), this update shows the structure of the Texas Air Force at the end of 1941: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88793161/Republic%20of%20Texas%20A...

amazing. I've always thought that the Mig-15 managed to be both ugly and beautiful at the same time. I can't even imagine the variant markings for each country.

It's an interesting conundrum for sure. It all hinges on your relationship with the US. On one hand you're an ally and strong allies tends to be more useful than weak ones. On the other hand you're an emerging regional power and to a certain extend a rival smack in the centre of their sphere of int...

Happy Centennial, Texas! I love how you've thought of another elegant way of keeping Texas from seeing the need to develop its own indigenous aviation industry or bringing in foreign types. Why spend the time and money building your own types or going to Hawker or Fokker or Dewoitine for aircraft wh...

it seems a little under gunned for a ship built in the Americas during the 30's. They're not if you compare the US Navy's operational requirements with the Texas Navy's requirements. The US Navy's destroyers are built to operate in the Pacific, which needs a long-range hull. A long-range hull can a...

There really isn't a trigger event, since support for annexation was almost universal in Texas. But the Texas Secretary of State, Ashbel Smith was working on a treaty through the British, known as the Cuevas-Smith Treaty, that would have resolved the border question peacefully. You can find it on-l...

New to the forum, but I've enjoyed catching up on Redhorse's work on this subject. Such a well thought out and reasoned alternate history, and on my favorite subject, Texas. The sale of Texas' far north and western claims to the US was a brilliant idea to address both the crippling debt that the Rep...
