The closing scenario imagines Britain completing its production transition and fielding Torpex from 1938. The Woolwich process could have supplied the first expansion, followed by improvements resembling the Bachmann process once operators learned where continuous production made sense. British access to the necessary materials would make that evolution difficult, though still possible in this interpretation. The scenario includes bombs, mines, and torpedoes, then explicitly withdraws gun shells because a Torpex filling appears dangerously unsuitable for that use.

What if Britain had Torpex in service by 1938?
The closing counterfactual asks how a prewar RDX scale-up might have changed British bombs, mines, and torpedoes while rejecting Torpex-filled gun shells as unsafe.
