What if : Hitler support Red Spain in 1936 ?
I just read the book “Battle of Spain” by Antony Beevor, and come to think ; what if Hitler joined the left side ?
It was not very obvious that Germany should support Franco. Nazy Germany did not have the same fascist system as Mussolini and Franco. In fact Germany had an border issue with Italy in Tyrol, and also towards Austria. It would favour Germany to fight Italians in the Spanish war.
Also USSR did support the Red Spain, and since Hitler made a Non-Aggression Treaty with Stalin, it would favour Germany to support USSR in Spain, against the capitalist world. In fact, the british Royal Navy did support Franco’s fleet, and closed the Gibraltar strait to republic ships. Also US capitalists like Texaco, Ford MC etc etc did support Franco with supply.
But the main reason Hitler joined the spanish war, was to get military training and experience. This was his kind of playtesting, and lessons from Spain was later put to good use in the German Panzer divisions and Luftwaffe. But since they was fighting against civialians and anarchists, that did not have any traditional army, the military lessons was weak. If Hitler had supported the Republicians, then the german Condor Legion would have get valuable experience and training against Italian and Spanish Armies and airforces.

RE: News story on 70th anny of start of the Great War
Also, that the leader of Germany said “we” when referring to German aggression starting the war.
That is correct. German aggression startet the war with Poland, when they attacked Polish occupied former german soil that was illegitimated taken during Versailes Treaty. Butt it was Britain that turned this small local conflict into a world war, just the same way as they did in 1914. Of course Britain could have started the world war in 1936, when the spanish republicians won a legal election and made Spain a democracy, butt it was not neccesary since Franco won an easy victory. Germany was stronger, so Britain had to gather the rest of the world to put her down.

Yeah, the smurfs in the movie will probably put up a better fight than Norway did against Germany.
Yes, butt we did not have Very Large Creatures to support us.

RE: Avatar
Well, the “smurfs” as you call them, do have some Very Large Creatures supporting them. From the trailer I could identify a giant tiger, a monster godzilla, mr Twinkle and mrs Tiggywinkle, and they all put up a good fight against the choppers.

RE: Avatar
This is basically the classic Pochahontas-story. White settlers want to steal land from natives, butt then their best man fall in love with the native princess. And then he backstabbs his own people, like a classic Benedict Arnold, or Norway’s most famous Quisling. The natives with bow and arrows will again beat the modern general Custer despite his modern weapons, firearms and choppers. Been there, done that. Sorry Kurt, no + to you.

RE: Control Marker Styles
I am not satisfied. (This is not a complain) In the old A&A Pacific, the British convoys used the Union Jack as CM, and that look much better than the Bulls eye CM they use as standard, man.

RE: How is 1940 Pacific going to BALANCE with 1940 Europe?
@Craig:
Unlike the first A&A Europe, Africa and South America are represented on the Europe map.
Yes butt then they should not name it A&A Europe, butt the more proper A&A Atlantic. Now that would make sense, A&A Atlantic and A&A Pacific. You do agree, do you ? By the way, are you collecting smites ? You sure got plenty of them.

RE: Kamikaze
@Brain:
Kamikaze’s are fun, but they are an act of desperation.
Right on dude, they sure are fun. And in this new edition, we will use the same system as in the old edition, with 6 kamikaze raids in the sea zones that are adjacent to the Japanese home territory, and they still will be able to target the infidels.

RE: WATER ON THE MOON
Now guess what, I also found a clip from one of the first moon landings, adressing some of the trouble NASA astronauts had when exploring this lave tubes on moon.

RE: WATER ON THE MOON
@Brain:
Okay I am interested. Please post the link.
OK, here is the link

NASA are discussing the possibility of using the lava tubes on moon as astonauts housing, because they do shelter from microwaves from space, and it will be cheaper to use existing lavatubes than transporting a lot of construction materials from earth.

RE: 1941 New Turn Order: China goes before Japan
@!ACHTUNG!:
Are you high dude?
He is right you know. China must be stronger. This game is not balanced. Also IMHO Borneo and East Indies are not worth 8 IPC, they should be 2 IPC each as in classic.

RE: Will North Korea launch nuclear missiles towards the U.S.A
@Brain:
This whole thread is political.
Yes, but it has not devolved into the bashing, blame-slinging, so-and-so politician is an a%#hat, sort of stuff that got the political discussion board shut down. It has remained civil and avoided any sort of ‘partisan bent’ and been mostly a strategy discussion.
Yes butt that korean retard jim jong sung II want to nuke us, man, he want to nuke us straigt to h*ll, and how bizare it must be, we are not allowed to call him names, because we must be political correct and not offend nor insult any criminal lame retard moron whatsoever, even if it is pretty obvious that it was just this kind of BS appeasement policy that got the world deep into st in 1939, and I figure that all this lame st is gonna happen again, ass it did last time, butt this time you cant blame it on europe.
