“South Africa has been the most vocal in its support for a peace, as you know Neville’s declaration of war last year caused uproar in their government. Australia and New Zealand are in favour, I think it may something to do with their concerns about the Pacific. Canada has been taken aback by the news, and has yet to issue any formal statement.”
Kurt_Steiner: I can't kill Trekaddict, that would kill of 20% of my regular readership!
Both of them, of course!
The only thing I care about in the whole Amiens/Milan is: Who will prove to be the UK's new Wellington? I put my hopes to Slim, with his big hat and puffy shorts.

Yes, I am the lonely supporter of Germany here.
Ach well.
French are nubs, they lost a war. No need to blame the brits. They lost too.
else there'll be a Paris-Anyone angry at the UK and hostile to the Reich Axis in the making all right.
A Paris-Moscow Axis perhaps? IIRC, the French Communists weren't that small a group.

Yep, particularly since the absence of a human participant might help make it a delightfully brutal and lengthy war.and then a repeat of ww1, jsut without britain and with a strong russia. could be cool.
Then of course there's the question of whether or not old Uncle Joe wants a strong France as an ally or if he'll simply treat the French Communists similarly to the Spanish ones, hoping that they'll hurt Germany bad and themselves worse so that he can eventually roll in and set up puppet governments in both countries.If Moscow appears to be the only path of resistance (and the only source of support for the French Resistance groups) then the underground will most probably go Communist (or be Communist-dominated).
What, by invading a collaborationist UK, set up a democratic government and then use the island as a base before liberating Europe?Eden's linking of Amiens to Milan is positively delightful, and I am intrigued by the ominous non-statement from Canada. Perhaps the new world will indeed step forth to save the old, but not as we remembered it.
Atlantic Friend: There is dissent in France, as we shall see.
Atlantic Friend: I agonised over the fate of France, but I can honestly say the Germans do not need to pulverise the French through a crippling treaty. This leaves the way for an Axis-friendly French government.
Atlantic Friend: FDR is still waiting for the dust to settle.
I know strongly-constrasted characters are always popular, with the strong showing nothing but strength and the weak showing nothing but weakness, but maybe we'll find Halifax assuming the role of Churchill. He may not look like the brightest bulb right now, but his motives are very honourable. Should that honourable man decide that there's been one broken promise too many, that his sense of honour has been offended enough, Halifax might turn into a very different character indeed, and show the same resolve in winning the war than he showed in averting it. Beware of angry British gentlemen !
