Not bad, but not enough of an indication of what's happening outside the CONUS to form an idea of the world at large.
Too many characters as well.

Thanks for the info. Now as promised my thoughts on my last two scenarios. The first one is all about surprise. If the Germans can catch the British off guard the could potentially pull off a "Raid on the Medway" type victory and secure better armistice terms.(That's more what the order was about from the beginning.) But as everyone else noted if the British catch wind of the plans early enough the Germans are pretty much doomed. As for the second one it all depends on how fast Napoleon III can get his fleet in France across the Atlantic to try and break the Union blockade. However even if he got there in time to do battle with the Union fleet they would get decimated from the Ironclads, and with the fall of the Confederacy imminent the threat of the Union invading Mexico will be great enough that he'll have to sue for peace.
Ok and new the latest scenario for you guys to ponder over.(This one is sort of cliched but i've yet to see an alternate history where this was the PoD.) The date is December, 7th and Private Joseph L. Lockard and Private George Elliot are on duty at the Opana Radar Site. They're heading for breakfast soon when at 7:02 am something big starts to appear on the radar set. They inform Lt. Kermit Tyler who tells them not to worry as it's just a flight of B-17's coming from the mainland but they both insist it's way to big for it to be them. After some convincing Kermit comes and checks it out at 7:30 am where upon seeing the size of the blip realizes that they were right and sounds the alarm. Now considering the time the alarm is raised what effect if any does this have on the attack?
