Spoken like a true mod, okay let get back on topic. What year does it play, i assume somewhere between 1940 to 1943. The war begins in 1927/1936/1940 (depending on if you count the start of the war as the Japanese invasion of China, the First invasion of Canada or the invasion of the United Provinces and Germany) and ends in 1946 With the surrender of Lousiana to the Allied powers. Is this the same as in the E-book Alternate History of the Netherlands timeline written by the Kiat, i got is several months ago during a free deal on Amazon. |

It is based on the Kiat's book but I was so dissatisified With how the war was written so I decided to Write my own Version. (Write about the actual war, damnit! Not about the resistance, I don't care about them.) |

I think it was very written and an enjoyable read. I would personally have gotten an editor to go over it to remove all the mistakes I spotted, gotten more maps and done more With Sweden-Russia. But we are going of-topic again. |

Sorry, that happens but i will try to go back to topic. What is the T-40 tank based on and who operates them. |

The T-40 is a medium tank produced and operated by most of the Dutch Commonwealth (The Boer Republics prefer the T-30 due to it versatality and the Indian army doesn't have tanks) as of 1939. The licence to produce the tank has also been sold to Canada, where it entered service as the Crusader. Simply, it is the in-universe Version of the M4 Sherman and Will be used in similar ways by Brazil. |

So can we compare the Dutch Pacific fleet to OTL US Pacific Fleet as you made it clear that the Dutch Pacific fleet is big and strong enough to hurt what i assume is also a very big Japanese Navy. |

Den Haag doesn't trust the Indians, if they were to rebel there would be a lot of problems putting the uprising Down. The India also lacks bombers, modern fighters and its own navy and marine corps. And all the different divisions really hate each other. The Dutch Pacific fleet is similiar to the OTL US Pacific fleet while the Japanese navy is pretty much the same as OTL except for slightly more focus on carriers due to the success of the two Graf Zeppelin-class carriers during German-Dutch war games. So Ise and Hyuuga got rebuilt into armoured carriers instead of aviation Battleships. |

Kinda, it is capable of deploying power outside its own borders but only With the asistance of the rest of the Commonwealth. |

So the Dutch Commonwealth is afraid that India Army might do something like supporting the Japanese or a other force and start a uprising, then is there a large Dutch presence there to make sure there is control. |

Pretty much, can't trust those Indians for a centimeter (or so the government thinks). |

Of course, epidemics had largely emptied Brazil of People so the Dutch were free to settle the place and introduce their own culture once they took it from the Portuguese. India on the other hand was conquered over a relativly short timespan so the Dutch were never really stopped being viewed as conqueres. |

Well it also helps that Brazil has a much shorter history then India. |
