World War I & II Variants

I've been doing a bit of research to back up a few ideas I have on the go regarding alternative histories set during the inter-war period.
1. British Civil War - I've been quite intrigued by the development of the "A Very British Civil War" wargame genre over the last year or so. This got my interest first and I've developed some army lists for the factions which I've placed in the WWII Rules in the Files Section. The conflict is set in 1938. I've designed a nice little scenario which I'm going to play out this month.
2. War Plan Red - inspired by the article in Miniature Wargames which outlines a conflict between the USA and British Empire over Canada. I watched the documentary on Youtube and was hooked to the idea. I'm developing some lists which detail the early war in 1935 and then the wider conflict set later in 1936-37. The later armies include some WWII AFVs developed earlier such as the A13 and M3 Stuart.
3. WWII set in the 1930s - to cover the Axis powers, UK, US, French and Soviets. Loads of early tanks to play with.
4. WWI extended by 10 years. This postulates an extension of the conflict past 1918 up to 1928 with all the possible technological advances this would entail. Bit of a nightmarish WH40K future history.
5. WWII extended beyond 1945 combined with a technological revolution - power armour, dreadnought walkers etc. These pet projects should keep me occupied for a bit!
