Will's Good Idea for the Week of 1-13-19 Early Edition

We've got World War 1990: The Battle of the Three Seas up to 45K. Without too much trouble we can flesh it out to 50,000.

But we're still going to have to add something.

One third of the Three Seas takes place in the Far East.

Now here's an idea: Australian SAS working with the Japanese? Maybe seizing an airfield or something?

One problem. 

We've had plenty of 22 SAS running around and let's just say we'll have plenty more of them running around in The Final Storm.

We had the Kiwi SAS in Anzacs.

And we had the 75th Ranger Regiment seize an airfield in Castro's Folly.

I know, I know Neil Gaiman's rule, when someone reads one of your books they want another one just like it.

And if people aren't sick of cabinet meetings they probably aren't sick of commandos with funny accents taking objectives and blowing stuff up.

Still...

We actually bought a bunch of books about the Aussie SAS for ANZACs but never worked them into the plot. This would also afford us a chance to redeem ourselves vis a vis some of the mistakes we made in ANZACs.

We'll see.
