Junebug baseball. You get around an outside utility light at night with a baseball bat and swing away. The person with the most connections with Junebugs is the winner.

RE: Risk strategy
Australia was always a key place to secure forces. I added the Philippines to my Risk board, placing it under the Australia zone. This makes Australia more diffucult to control.

RE: Japan in WW I
Japan had no better chance of a Pacific empire than WWI. As long as they could keep the U.S out of the war while taking territoies.

I’ve got the russian sub into Pacific waters before, along the way talking so much trash that Japanese waste resources trying to sink the ship.

RE: Strength of each army, after WW2

@Dylan:
So would India be after of before Australia!
Thats quite the question. Without the arms the British provided them with as well as considering that the number of troops in the Indian army was radically reduced when the country was partitioned at the time of Indian independence.
India does have the manpower advantage over Australia in a massive way but the equipment the British left them with was hardly that modern and they didnt have a large airforce either. So I would personally put Australia above India but only just, Australia’s large airforce negates India’s man power advantage and then some.
Interestingly enough today India is well on its way to becoming a miltary superpower with the world’s 4th largest airforce and a navy that is growing at a great rate of knots including the construction of 2 aircraft carriers and the purchase of a former Russian navy carrier.
Soviet or Russian AC?

What is interesting about the modern Russian navy is that they are beginning a massive shipbuilding operation to create a fleet that would give it the second largest carrier force in the world. The Russians are currently planning a fleet of 6 carrier battle groups of large carriers that would rival the Nimitz class carriers in size. Whether or not that will actually happen is a matter of great debate but if it does it greatly shifts the balance of power in the worlds oceans. The real question is if they get their carriers what are they going to do with them?Link to story on plan for 6 Russian carrier battle groups
http://en.rian.ru/analysis/20071113/87843710.htmlThats good. It’s sad to see the world’s navies mothballed. If I’m not mistaken I heard that Turkey has a navy as large as the Royal Navy!

RE: Japan in WW I
@ABWorsham:
The only major thing they did was take Tsingtao. Germany tried to get it to help Mexico attack the US, but this was impossible. What could Japan attack? Even with a huge navy, without a good army(something they lacked even in WW2-they didn’t have the logistics to take China or India), they can just take small costal territories.
How would the threat of Japan in the Pacific effect the North Sea showdown?
Not at all? The best the Japs ever did in putting navy far away was subs in the Med
I’m not suggesting the Japan would have ships in the North Sea. How would England react to a serious Pacific threat.
Spee’s cruisers caused considerable problems to the Allies in 1914.; enough of a problem to justify the stationing of battlecruiser in the Port Stanley. The Allies would have to counter a Japanese threat with a massive fleet. This could have even the odds in the North Sea and allowed Germany to actually use its navy.
Had the 400,000 Australia troops had to fight in the Pacific and not againist the Ottomans and in France how would this effect the war?

Japan in WW I
The Japanese fleet was one of the strongest in the world during WWI. It had twenty-one first- and second-class cruisers, ten superb ncw destroyers, with a reserve of twenty others, as well as twenty battle-ships and battle cruisers.
What effects would this have had on the Allied war efforts?

RE: Kokoda trail, Lost WWII battlefield found, war dead included
There is no doubt about Japanese war crimes.
My point is that the nation of Japan should have the right to bury the remains of the dead with honor. Unless certain remains can get postitively linked to a person who committed a crime, the remains should be honor as a person that answered the call of country and never came home.

RE: Did Hitler really die in Berlin?
So do you believe Hitler killed himself in Berlin? One interesting fact i discovered was Joseph Stalin went to his grave believing Hitler had escaped.

The story is support by personal on the DC-3. The plane encounter a Zero that had them in gun range and spared the plane. Suburo Sakai took credit for the encounter. I read of this in the publication, World War II monthly. It’s been several years ago.

RE: Strength of each army, after WW2
Though, nobody could compete with the French and their production of white flags.
Would that be the same French who supplied most of the aircraft and equipment of the AEF in WW1?
Everyone is so quick to stamp and label coward and surrender to France and anyone who is french. Do we forget Napoleon and France’s role in WWI?
