Brits With Battleships: Difference between revisions

* The British military in various forms plays a role in many of Tom Clancy's works, usually in a supporting role to the US Army/Navy, but is itself almost always portrayed as highly competent. One of his most famous novels, ''Rainbow Six'', had the SAS as major players, representing around half the Rainbow staff, including their intelligence, and most of the Rainbow troopers are British SAS and various American special forces.

** In ''[[The Hunt for Red October]]'', given the deployment of various forces, a RN carrier group is tasked with covering the US east coast while shuffling forces around to intercept the titular submarine. As the admiral commanding the carrier group notes, with humor, they're covering the US coast for the first time since the American Revolution.

* ''Battlefield 1942'' and its ''Road to Rome'' and ''Secret Weapons of WWII'' expansions featured the British army, air force, and on one limited occasion, its navy as the Allied nation on some maps, though in the original game they almost always use standard (read: American) equipment and weapons, though they grow more diverse in the expansion. One or two of the multiplayer maps are quite possibly the first time the British-Japanese front in India during WWII has ever been depicted in a video game.

** Not so; there was a strategy game called ''Rising Sun'' during the late '90s which featured a scenario or two set in the China-Burma-India theater.
